The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has launched the FY 2025 Disaster Supplemental Funding Program, a powerful opportunity for communities hit hardest by recent disasters to rebuild stronger than ever. Whether your area has faced hurricanes, floods, wildfires, or other federally declared disasters in 2023-2024, this program is designed to provide the resources needed for long-term recovery and resilience.

Through Readiness & Implementation grants, communities, local governments, and organizations can access federal support to restore infrastructure, strengthen local economies, and prepare for future challenges. What makes this program especially valuable is its rolling application process-funds are available until they run out or until the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is closed. That means the earlier you apply, the better your chances of securing funding for your community.

This is a clear sign that the federal government is stepping up to invest in recovery and resilience.

But opportunities like this don't last forever. Too often, communities miss out simply because they didn't act in time. Don't sleep on this-if your community has been impacted, now is the moment to take advantage of this critical support. Apply, spread the word, and he' rebuild a stronger future together
