FEMA Public Assistance for Non-Profit Service Providers 
Kentucky Housing Corporation's (KHC) partnering agencies may be eligible for reimbursement for COVID-19 related expenses from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) via Kentucky Emergency Management (KyEM). As a result of Federal Emergency Declarations, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, local government entities, and certain private non-profit (PNP) organizations are now eligible to apply for the FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program (PA). Specifically, funding for PA Category B (emergency protective measures) can be provided on a reimbursement basis for all areas in Kentucky impacted by COVID-19. This funding can reimburse expenses related to COVID-19 response incurred since January 20, 2020, and continuing until the end of the emergency.  

KHC has created guidance for non-profit partners that can be found on the HCA Help Desk under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) header found under Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information section at the top of the page. The HCA Help Desk also contains the FEMA Request for Public Assistance form that non-profits must submit by Sunday, April 12, 2020, to their County Emergency Manager and KyEM at [email protected].  FEMA's Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide is also available for reference on the HCA Help Desk.

KHC strongly encourages any non-profit partners to submit the FEMA Request for Public Assistance form even before any COVID-19 related costs are incurred. We thank all non-profit service providers for their continued commitment to serve Kentuckians in need in these challenging times.

Federal Reserve Survey of Community-Based Organizations on COVID-19 Impacts
The Federal Reserve System is conducting a survey
  to better understand the range of challenges facing under-resourced and low-income communities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey also seeks to gauge how the pandemic is affecting community-based organizations, including affordable housing providers and organizations serving rural and Tribal communities.

The Federal Reserve is committed to supporting people and businesses through this crisis. To do so effectively requires a deep understanding of conditions on the ground. They encourage community-based organizations to complete this short survey by midnight ET Friday, April 10.

The Consolidated Plan is the Commonwealth's application and distribution plan for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) Block Grant Programs (HOME, ESG, CDBG, HTF, and HOPWA). Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) and the Department for Local Government (DLG) are the agencies responsible for submission of the plan to HUD.
