Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)
AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice sets out the plan by which the Emergency Food and
Shelter Program National Board (National Board) is conducting a program
during FY 1999 to distribute $100,000,000 to private voluntary
organizations and local governments for delivering emergency food and
shelter to needy individuals. The distribution formula for selecting
organizations and localities, and the award amount for each, follow the
Plan text.
DATES: The award to the National Board was made October 28, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carol Coleman, Preparedness, Training
and Exercise Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, (202)
646-3107, or Yolanda L. Jones, Program Specialist, (202) 646-4543, of
the Preparedness, Training and Exercise Directorate, Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 11301 et seq., authorizes use of
funds appropriated by the Congress to supplement and expand ongoing
efforts to provide shelter, food, and supportive services to homeless,
needy individuals.
As in past phases, grant awards from this program address temporary
emergency needs. This program is not to address or correct structural
poverty or long-standing problems. Rather, this appropriation is to
purchase food and shelter to supplement and expand current available
resources and not to substitute or reimburse ongoing programs and
services.
Use this funding to target special emergency needs. And when we
discuss emergency needs we are referring to economic, not disaster-
related, emergencies. The funding should supplement feeding and
sheltering efforts in ways that make a difference. What that means is:
EFSP is not to make up for budget shortfalls or to be just a line item
in an annual budget; funds should not go to the same agencies for the
exact same purposes every year; and, the funding is open to all
organizations helping hungry and homeless people and not that the funds
should go only to Local Board member agencies or local government
agencies.
Having stated what it is not, what does the National Board want
this program to be? As we read the law, EFSP should:
Create inclusive local coalitions that meet regularly to
determine the best use of funds and to monitor their use in their
respective communities;
Treat every program year as a fresh opportunity to
reassess what particular community needs (e.g., on-site feeding or
utility assistance, mass shelter or homelessness prevention, etc.)
should be addressed;
Encourage agencies to work together to emphasize their
respective strengths, work out common problems, and prevent duplication
of effort; and,
Ensure that the program is helping to meet the needs of
special populations such as minorities, Native Americans, veterans,
families with children, the elderly, and the handicapped.
We re-emphasize that this program has a commitment to emergency
services. We continue to view it as an opportunity for building a
cohesive emergency structure that can, for example:
Coordinate the assistance provided, across agencies, to
families and individuals applying for rental, mortgage, or utility
assistance;
Enhance a food banking network that is economical in its
cost and broad in its coverage; reinforce creative cooperation among
feeding; and sheltering sites to ensure help for street populations
most in need; and
Establish or maintain a system that complements rather
than supplants existing private and governmental efforts to provide
rent, mortgage, or utility assistance.
The National Board is aware that we ask much of our voluntary Local
Boards and LROs, and that we provide very little administrative
funding. But the cooperative model that EFSP helps create can be a
useful vehicle for many governmental and community-based programs. As a
group, local providers can accomplish much:
Initiating a dialogue with local offices of Federal
entities such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take full
advantage of excess commodities and its other programs or with the U.S.
Department of Labor's Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA);
Working with Federal programs that require the input of
local providers such as the Department of Housing and Urban
Development's Community Development Block Grant or Emergency Shelter
Grant and the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Care for
the Homeless;
Pooling agency efforts to gain Federal (for example, HUD's
Transitional Housing Program) and private foundation grants;
Leveraging EFSP funds within the community by encouraging
matches of local EFSP allocations from State and local governments and
private resources; and,
Exchanging ideas on administrative and accounting methods
that can improve delivery of services and focus on the collaborative
rather than the competitive aspects of agency relations.
Sixteen years ago this program began as a one-time effort to help
address urgent needs. The survival of this public-private partnership
is not only a testament to needs, but also to the effectiveness of EFSP
as an example of local decision-making and community responsibility in
attempting to meet those needs.
EFSP is a reminder of this nation's willingness to confront
difficult problems within the society in new ways. But most
importantly, EFSP feeds and shelters homeless and hungry people, it
maintains homes and the families in those homes, and it creates useful
public-private partnerships within communities.

1.0 Background and Introduction
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program was established on March 24,
1983, with the signing of the ``Jobs Stimulus Bill,'' Public Law 98-8.
That legislation created a National Board, chaired by FEMA, which
consisted of representatives of the American Red Cross; Catholic
Charities, USA; the Salvation Army; Council of Jewish Federations,
Inc.; United Way of America; and the National Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A.
[[Page 22913]]
From the first appropriation in 1983, through its authorization
under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (Pub. L. 100-77--
signed into law on July 24, 1987, subsequently reauthorized under Pub.
L. 100-628, signed into law on November 7, 1988), the Emergency Food
and Shelter Program has distributed $1.8 billion to over 11,000 social
service agencies in more than 2,500 communities across the country.
From its inception, the unique features of this program are the
partnerships it establishes. At the national level, the Federal
government and National Board member organizations have the legal
responsibility to work together to set allocations criteria and
establish program guidelines. Such coalitions, as set forth in the law,
are even more vital on the local level. In each community Local Boards
make the most significant decisions on their own make-up and operation,
the types of services most in need of supplemental help, what
organizations should be funded and for what purpose and amount. These
portions of the law remain unchanged and are the core of this unique
public-private partnership.
1.1 Purpose.
This publication outlines the roles, responsibilities, and
implementation procedures that will be followed by the National Board,
FEMA Local Boards, LROs, and SSA Committees, in the distribution and
use of these funds.
National in scope, EFSP will provide food and shelter assistance to
individuals in need through local private voluntary organizations and
local governments in areas the National Board designates as being in
highest need. The intent of EFSP is to meet emergency needs by
supplementing and expanding food and shelter assistance currently
available to individuals. Individuals who received assistance under
previous programs may again be recipients, providing they meet local
eligibility requirements.
2.0 FEMA's Role and Responsibilities
FEMA will perform the following EFSP activities:
(a) Constitute a National Board consisting of individuals
affiliated with United Way of America; The Salvation Army; the National
Council of Churches of Christ in the USA; Catholic Charities, USA; the
Council of Jewish Federations, Inc.; the American Red Cross; and FEMA;
(b) Chair the National Board, using parliamentary procedures and
consensus by the National Board as the mode of operation;
(c) Provide policy guidance, management oversight, Federal
coordination, and staff assistance to the National Board;
(d) Award the grant to the National Board;
(e) Assist the Secretariat in implementing the National Board
Program;
(f) Report to Congress on the year's program activities through the
Interagency Council on the Homeless Annual Report;
(g) Conduct audits of the program;
(h) Monitoring program compliance with current Federal and program
guidelines; and
(i) Initiate Federal collection procedures to collect funds or
documentation due when the efforts of the National Board have not been
successful.
3.0 National Board's Role and Responsibilities
(a) National Board's EFSP activities
The National Board will perform the following EFSP activities:
(1) Select jurisdictions of highest need for food and shelter
assistance and determine amount to be distributed to each;
(2) Notify national organizations interested in emergency food and
shelter to publicize the availability of funds;
(3) Develop the operational manual for distributing funds and
establish criteria for expenditure of funds;
(4) In jurisdictions that received previous awards, notify the
former Local Board chair that new funds are available. In areas newly
selected for funding, notify the local United Way, American Red Cross,
Salvation Army, or local government official. The National Board will
notify qualifying jurisdictions of award eligibility within 60 days
following allocation by FEMA;
(5) Provide copies of award notification materials to National
Board member affiliates and other interested parties;
(6) Secure board plan, certification forms and board rosters from
Local Boards. Ensure Local Board compliance with established
guidelines;
(7) Distribute funds to selected LROs;
(8) Hear appeals and grant waivers;
(9) Establish an equitable system to accomplish the reallocation of
unclaimed or unused funds. Unused or recaptured funds will be
reallocated by the National Board, except in the case of State Set-
Aside counties whose funds may be reallocated by the respective State
Set-Aside Committees;
(10) Ensure that funds are properly accounted for, and that funds
due are collected;
(11) Provide consultation and technical assistance to local
jurisdictions as necessary to monitor program compliance;
(12) Compile the reports it receives from the Local Boards and
submit a detailed accounting of use of all program monies in the form
of a report to FEMA;
(13) Conduct a compliance review of food and shelter expenditures
made under this program for specified LROs. The National Board, FEMA,
the independent accounting firm selected by the National Board, or the
Inspector General's office may also conduct an audit of these funds;
and
(14) Monitor LRO compliance with OMB Circular A-133.
(b) Secretariat and Fiscal Agent.
The National Board has selected the United Way of America as the
Secretariat and fiscal agent to perform necessary administrative duties
for the Board. An administrative allowance of one percent of the total
award may be used for National Board administration.
3.1 Client Eligibility
(a) Eligibility criteria.
The National Board does not set client eligibility criteria. If the
Local Board does not set eligibility criteria, the LRO may use its
existing criteria or set criteria for assistance under this award.
However, the LRO's criteria must provide for assistance to needy
individuals without discrimination (age, race, sexual orientation,
religion, national origin, or disability).
(b) Where funds may be used.
Funds allocated to a jurisdiction are intended for use within that
jurisdiction. Residents of or transients in a specific jurisdiction
should seek service within that jurisdiction.
(c) Citizenship eligibility.
Citizenship is not an eligibility requirement to receive assistance
from EFSP. The National Board does not mandate nor recommend the use of
any particular existing criteria such as food stamp guidelines, welfare
guidelines, or income guidelines.
4.0 State Set-Aside (SSA) Committee Role and Responsibilities
(a) SSA Committee's role.
(1) The SSA process allows flexibility in selection of
jurisdictions to target pockets of homelessness or poverty in non-
qualifying jurisdictions (refer to
[[Page 22914]]
Supplementary Information, above, on qualifying criteria), areas
experiencing drastic economic changes such as plant closings, areas
with high levels of unemployment or poverty that do not meet the
minimum level of unemployment, or jurisdictions that have documented
measures of need that are not adequately reflected in unemployment and
poverty data.
(2) The distribution of funds to SSA Committees will be based on a
ratio calculated as follows: the State's average number of unemployed
in non-funded jurisdictions divided by the average number of unemployed
in non-funded jurisdictions nationwide equals the State's percentage of
the total amount available for SSA awards.
(b) SSA responsibilities.
(1)(i) An SSA Committee in each State will recommend high-need
jurisdictions and award amounts to the National Board. The SSA will
give priority consideration to jurisdictions not meeting criteria for
direct funding, from the National Board, although funded jurisdictions
may receive additional funding. SSA Committees should also consider the
special circumstances of jurisdictions that qualified in previous
funding phases but are not eligible in the current phase. The State
Committees may wish to provide these jurisdictions with an allocation
so that the abrupt change in funding status does not disrupt local
providers. We ask SSA Committees to consider current and significant
State or local data in their deliberations. Although the National Board
staff provides national data to the SSA Committees, it does not require
any particular formula.
(ii) In each State, we will notify the chair of the previous
phase's SSA Committee of the award amount available to the SSA
Committee. In a State where there are affiliates of the voluntary
organizations represented on the National Board, the State affiliates
must be invited to serve on the State Committee. If no single State
affiliate exists, an appropriate representative should be invited. The
Governor or his/her representative will replace the FEMA member. State
Committees are encouraged to expand participation by inviting or
notifying other private non-profit organizations on the State level.
The National Board encourages the inclusion of Native Americans,
minorities, and other appropriate representatives should be invited on
the State Committee.
(2) Members of the SSA Committee will elect a person to chair the
committee.
(3) The SSA Committees are responsible for the following:
(i) recommending high-need jurisdictions and award amounts within
the State. When selecting jurisdictions with demonstrated need, the
National Board encourages the consideration of counties incorporating
or adjoining Indian reservations. The SSA Committee has 25 working days
to notify the National Board in writing of its selections and the
appropriate contact person for each area. Note: The minimum award
amount for a single jurisdiction is $1,000 and only whole-dollar
amounts can be allocated.
(ii) notifying the National Board of selection criteria that were
used to determine which jurisdictions within the State were selected to
receive funds. The National Board will then notify these jurisdictions
directly. If SSA jurisdictions do not claim funds, SSA Committees may
recommend other jurisdictions to receive the unclaimed funds.
(4) The SSA Committee may use an administrative allowance of one-
half of one percent (0.5%) of the total SSA award to each State for its
administration.
5.0 Local Boards' Role and Responsibilities
(a) Local Boards' role and responsibilities.
(1) Constituting Local Boards. Each area designated by the National
Board to receive funds will constitute a Local Board. In a local
community where there are affiliates of the United Way of America; The
Salvation Army; the National Council of Churches of Christ in the
U.S.A.; Catholic Charities, U.S.A; Council of Jewish Federations; and
the American Red Cross that are represented on the National Board, they
must be invited to serve on the Local Board. An agency's own governing
board may not serve as a Local Board. The National Board requires that
if a jurisdiction is located within or encompasses a federally
recognized Indian reservation, the Local Board must invite a Native
American representative to serve on the Board. All Local Boards must
include in their membership a homeless or formerly homeless person.
Local Boards should seek recommendations from LROs for an appropriate
representative. Local Boards that cannot have homeless or formerly
homeless representation must still consult with homeless or formerly
homeless individuals, or former or current clients of food or housing
services for their input. The County Executive/Mayor, appropriate head
of local government or his or her designee will replace the FEMA
member. We encourage Local Boards to expand participation and
membership by inviting minority populations, other private non-profit
organizations and government organizations. The Local Board's
jurisdiction should be geographically represented as well.
(2) Chair of the Local Board. The members of each Local Board will
elect a chair.
(3) Active Board Memberships. Local Board membership is not
honorary; there are specific duties the board must perform. If a member
cannot regularly attend meetings, the member should be replaced by
another representative of the member's designated agency. If a member
must be absent from a meeting, the member's organization may designate
an alternate.
(4) Localities not previously funded. If a locality has not
received funding previously and is now designated as being in high
need, the National Board designates the local United Way to constitute
and convene a Local Board as described above. If there is no local
United Way, or it does not convene the board, the local American Red
Cross, the local Salvation Army, or a local government official will be
responsible for convening the initial meeting of the Local Board.
(5) Localities previously funded. If a locality has previously
received National Board funding, the National Board will contact the
former chairman of the Local Board about any new funding the locality
is to receive.
(6) Each award phase new. Each award phase is new. Therefore, the
Local Board is a new entity in every phase. The convenor of the Local
Board must ask each agency to designate or redesignate a representative
every program year.
(7) Local Board meeting options. The National Board requires Local
Boards to select one of the following options for meetings:
(i) Quarterly Meetings: We encourage Local Boards to meet quarterly
to ensure that LROs are implementing the program according to
guidelines. Meetings may be conducted via conference calls.
(ii) Semiannual Meetings: Local Boards meeting twice a year must
also ensure that LROs are implementing the program according to
guidelines. Ongoing monitoring activities must take place. Local Boards
electing to hold meetings semiannually must submit copies of their
meeting minutes with the jurisdiction's final report.
[[Page 22915]]
(8) Quorum; minutes. A majority of members must be present for the
meeting to be official. Attendance and decision-making minutes must be
kept. Meeting minutes must be voted on and approved by the Local Board
at the next meeting. They must also be available to the National Board,
Federal authorities, and the public on request.
(9) Advertising and promoting the program. The Local Board will
have 25 working days after the notification of the award selection by
the National Board to advertise and promote the program to give any
organization capable of providing emergency services an opportunity to
apply for funds. Advertising must take place before the Local Board
allocates funds. Failure to advertise properly will delay processing of
the jurisdiction's board plan and subsequent payment of funds. Local
Boards should allow at least one week for interested organizations to
apply for funding. (Local Boards do not have to re-advertise fund
availability for supplemental allocations within the same spending
period.)
(10) Local Board grant recommendations. The Local Board recommends
which local organizations should receive grants and the amounts of the
grants. Local Boards must have a written application process and
consider all private voluntary and public organization applicants. In
selecting LROs to receive funds, the Local Board must consider the
demonstrated ability of an organization to provide food, shelter
assistance or both. Local Board members should strive to use consistent
criteria, sound judgment and fairness in their approach. Local Board
membership must have no relationship to funding. Local Board members
must abstain from voting on their own grant awards. Local Boards should
select LROs to receive funds to supplement and expand eligible on-going
services, and should not fund LROs before a needed service (i.e., fire
victims, floods, tornadoes, etc.). Nor should Local Board select
agencies for funding due to budget shortfalls or for cuts in other
funding sources. Agencies on Indian reservations are eligible to
receive EFSP monies if they meet LRO requirements.
(11) Grant allocations. The minimum grant per LRO is $300 and only
whole-dollar amounts may be allocated. The Local Board should be
prepared to justify an allocation of one-third (\1/3\) or more of its
total award to a single LRO.
(12) Monitoring LROs. Local Boards are responsible for monitoring
LROs that receive over $100,000 in Federal funds and ensuring that they
comply with OMB Circular A-133.
(13) Required forms. Local Boards must complete and return all
required forms to the National Board. (Local Board Plan, Local Board
Certification Form, and Local Board Roster.)
(14) Certifications. Local Boards will secure and retain signed
forms from each LRO certifying that each LRO has read and understands
the program guidelines and that the LROs will comply with cost
eligibility and reporting requirements.
(15) Duplication of assistance. Local Boards must establish a
system to ensure that no duplication of service occurs within the
expenditure categories of rent, mortgage or utility assistance (RMU).
Local Boards are free to establish any system as long as no duplication
of rent/mortgage or utility assistance can take place under reasonable
circumstances.
(16) Client eligibility. Establish client eligibility, at Local
Board's discretion. Local Boards may determine client eligibility for
EFSP or use established LRO eligibility. LROs may develop and use
separate needs test for assistance under EFSP but should first get
Local Board approval. The Local Board should communicate eligibility
criteria for assistance under EFSP to LROs.
(17) Personnel changes. Local Boards must notify the National Board
of changes in the Local Board chair, staff contact, or LRO contacts,
including complete addresses and phone numbers.
(18) Merging Local Boards. Local Boards that determine they can
better use their resources by merging with neighboring boards may do
so. The head of government or his or her designee for each jurisdiction
must sit on the merged board, along with agency representatives from
each jurisdiction. The merged Local Board must ensure that the award
amount designated for each civil jurisdiction is used to provide
assistance to individuals within that jurisdiction.
(19) Guidelines and technical assistance. Local Boards must be
familiar with current guidelines and provide technical assistance to
service providers. National Board staff can provide advice and counsel.
(20) Appeals. Local Boards must establish an appeals process to
address participation or funding, to hear and resolve appeals made by
funded or non-funded organizations, and to investigate complaints made
by individuals or organizations. Local Boards should handle appeals
promptly. If a Local Board cannot handle an appeal locally, the case
should be referred in writing to the National Board and should include
details on action that the Local Board has taken. Only when there is
significant question of misapplication of guidelines, fraud, or other
abuse on the part of the Local Board will the National Board consider
action. Report cases involving fraud or other misuse of Federal funds
to the Office of the Inspector General, FEMA, in writing or by
telephone at 1-800-323-8603.
(21) National Board/Local Board point of contacts. The chair of the
Local Board or his or her designated staff will be the central
coordination point of contact between the National Board and the LRO
selected to receive assistance from EFSP.
(22) Surplus food. If FEMA requests, the Local Board should
nominate an appropriate feeding organization to receive surplus food
from Department of Defense commissaries.
(23) Monitoring programs.
(i) Monitoring programs; reports. Boards will be responsible for
monitoring programs carried out by the LROs they select to receive
funds. Local Boards should work with LROs to ensure that funds LROs use
to meet immediate food and shelter needs on an ongoing basis. Local
Boards may not alter or change National Board cost eligibility or
approve expenditures outside the National Board's criteria without
National Board permission.
(ii) Reports.
(A) An interim report of expenditures is due to the National Board
with each LRO's second check request. A final report (accompanied by
financial documentation for specified LROs) is due 45 days after the
end of each jurisdiction's program.
(B) The National Board will provide forms for all required reports.
(C) Local Boards may request other reports from their LROs at an
appropriate time (e.g., monthly or quarterly updates).
(24) Funds reallocations. The Local Board should reallocate funds
whenever it determines that the original allocation plan does not
reflect the actual need for services or if an LRO is unable to use its
full award effectively. The Local Board must recover funds and
reallocate them if an LRO makes ineligible expenditures or uses funds
for items that have clearly not been approved by the Local Board. The
National Board can reallocate funds held in escrow for LROs that have
unresolved compliance problems or may reclaim the funds. The deadline
to reallocate any funds held in escrow is July 30, 1999.
(i) The Local Board may approve reallocation of funds between LROs
that
[[Page 22916]]
are already participating in the program. However, the Local Board must
inform the National Board in writing. The Local Board may also return
funds to the National Board for reissuance to another LRO or request
reallocation of remaining funds before the National Board releases the
second or third payments.
(ii) If the Local Board wishes to reallocate funds to an agency
that it did not approve on the original board plan, the Local Board
must make a written request for approval to the National Board. The
National Board must approve an LRO before receipt of funds.
(iii) Local Boards can reallocate funds from one service to another
(e.g., from food to shelter) without National Board approval if the
transfer is within an individual LRO.
(iv) If a Local Board cannot satisfy the National Board that it can
use funds in accordance with this plan, the National Board may
reallocate the funds to other jurisdictions.
(25) Misuse of EFSP funds.
(i) Should anyone have reason to suspect that EFSP funds are being
used for purposes contrary to the law and guidelines governing the
program, the National Board recommends taking action to assist in
bringing such practices to a halt.
(ii) The National Board requires that whenever anyone suspects
fraud, theft, or other criminal activity in connection with the use of
EFSP funds, the Office of the Inspector General, (OIG), FEMA, should be
immediately contacted. The Inspector General's Hotline number to call
is 1-800-323-8603 or the complainant can write to: Office of the
Inspector General, FEMA, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472. The
complainant should include as much information as possible to support
the allegation and preferably furnish his/her name and telephone number
so that the special agent assigned to that office may make a follow-up
contact. Federal law protects the confidentiality of any communication
made with the OIG.
(iii) A complainant desiring to remain totally anonymous should
make a follow-up phone call to the OIG within 30 days from the date of
the original complaint so that the OIG may ask any follow-up questions.
Follow-up calls should be made to 1-202-646-3894 during normal business
hours, Eastern Standard Time (charges may be reversed). The caller
should advise that he/she is making a follow-up call regarding a prior
anonymous complaint. The Office of the Inspector General, FEMA, will
appropriately notify both local law enforcement authorities and the
National Board concerning the substance of the allegations and the
results of the investigation.
(26) Expenditure Reports. Local Boards must submit reports to the
National Board on LRO's expenditures as of the date they request each
LRO's second/third check and should submit a final report within 45
days after the jurisdiction's end-of-program date.
(27) Review of reports and documentation.
(i) After the close of the program, Local Boards must review the
accuracy of all LROs reports and documentation. Local Boards should
forward documentation for specified LROs to the National Board on
request. If expenditures violate the eligible costs under this award,
the Local Board must require reimbursement to the National Board.
(ii) Local Boards must remain in operation until they satisfy all
program and compliance requirements of the National Board. Local Boards
must retain all records for three (3) years from the end-of-program
date.
(28) Extension of spending periods. Each jurisdiction will be
granted the option to extend its spending period by 30, 60, or 90 days.
This option will be offered during the summer of each phase. The
extension applies to the entire jurisdiction. Should the jurisdiction
receive a grant in the next phase, that phase's spending period will
begin the day after the chosen end-date.
5.1 Variances and Waivers
(a) Variances. Local Boards may receive requests for variances in
the budgets that they approve for LROs. Local Boards may allow such
changes provided that the requested items are eligible under this
program. If there is any doubt on the part of the Local Board as to
eligibility, it should contact the National Board for clarification. If
an LRO requests an expenditure that falls outside the program
guidelines, the Local Board, if in accord, must request in writing a
waiver from the National Board before making the expenditure.
(b) Waivers. Waivers requested by a LRO because of a compliance
exception must be submitted to the Local Board. The Local Board will
submit the waiver to the National Board for review. National Board
staff will evaluate waiver requests and use discretion to approve or
deny requests. In general, the National Board considers waiver requests
that are not within the guidelines, but address the program's intent.
The waiver request from the Local Board should clearly state the
need for this exception, approximate costs, timelines or any other
pertinent information that the National Board may need to make their
decision.
6.0 Local Recipient Organizations' Roles and Responsibilities
(a) Local Recipient Organizations' roles and responsibilities.
(1) In selecting LROs to receive funds, the Local Board must
consider the demonstrated ability of an organization to provide food
and shelter assistance. Local Boards should select LROs to receive
funds to supplement and expand eligible ongoing services, but not to
fund in anticipation of a needed service (i.e., fire, flood, or tornado
victims); nor should Local Boards select agencies for funding due to
budget shortfalls or for cuts in other funding sources. Local
participation in the program is not limited to organizations that are
part of any State or national organization. Agencies on Indian
reservations are eligible to receive EFSP funds if they meet LRO
requirements set out in the EFSP program manual. Organizations that
received awards under previous legislation may be eligible again
provided that the organization still meets eligibility requirements.
(2) For a local organization to be eligible for funding it must:
(i) be nonprofit or an agency of government;
(ii) have an accounting system or an approved fiscal agent;
(iii) have a Federal employer identification number (FEIN), or be
in the process of securing an FEIN (Note: contact local IRS office for
more information on securing an FEIN and the necessary form [SS-4];
(iv) conduct an independent annual audit if receiving $25,000 or
more from EFSP;
(v) practice nondiscrimination (those agencies with a religious
affiliation that wish to participate in the program must agree not to
refuse services to an applicant based on religion or require attendance
at religious services as a condition of assistance, nor will such
groups engage in any religious proselytizing in any program receiving
EFSP funds); and,
(vi) for private voluntary organizations, have a voluntary board.
(3) Each LRO will be responsible for certifying in writing to the
Local Board that it has read and agrees to abide by the cost
eligibility and reporting standards of this publication and any other
requirements made by the Local Board.
[[Page 22917]]
(4) An LRO may not operate as a vendor for itself or other LROs
except for the shared maintenance fee for food banks.
(5) LROs selected for funding must:
(i) Maintain records according to the guidelines stated in the EFSP
program manual. Consult the Local Board chair/staff on matters
requiring interpretation or clarification prior to incurring an expense
or entering into a contract. It is important to have a thorough
understanding of these guidelines to avoid ineligible expenditures and
consequent repayment of funds. National Board staff can answer LROs'
questions at (703) 706-9660 or (202) 646-3107.
(ii) Provide services within the intent of the program. Funds are
to be used to supplement and expand food and shelter services, not as a
substitute for other program funds. LROs should take the most cost-
effective approach in buying or leasing eligible items/services, and
should limit purchases to essential items within the $300 limit for
equipment, unless the National Board has granted prior approval.
(iii) Deposit funds for this program in a federally insured bank
account. LROs must maintain proper documentation for all expenditures
under this program according to the guidelines. Agencies should ensure
that selected banks will return canceled checks. LROs' expenditures and
documentation will be subject to review for program compliance by the
Local Board, National Board or Federal authorities. LROs must maintain
records for three years and any interest income must be put back into
program expenditures.
6.1 Independent Annual Audit Requirements
(a) LROs receiving $25,000 or less in EFSP funding. We will not
require an independent annual audit for these LROs.
(b) LROs receiving $25,000 or more in EFSP funding.
(i) We will require an independent annual audit in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards for these LROs. The National Board will
accept an LROs national/regional annual audit if the LROs meet the
following conditions:
(i) The LRO is truly a subsidiary of the national organization
(i.e., shares a single Federal tax exemption).
(ii) The LRO is audited by the national/regional office internal
auditors or other person designated by the national/regional office AND
the national/regional office is audited by an independent certified
public accountant or public accounting firm, which includes the parent
organization's review of the LRO in a larger audit review.
(iii) A copy of the local audit review by the parent organization
along with a copy of the independent audit of the national/regional
office will be made available by the parent organization to the
National Board upon request.
(2) In addition to the above requirements, any LRO receiving
$100,000 or more in combined federal funds must have an audit made in
accordance with OMB Circulars A-128 or A-133, as applicable.
(3) Audits of units of government will be made annually unless
State or local government had, by January 1, 1987, a constitutional or
statutory requirement for less frequent audits. For those governments
that have biennial audits, we permit audits covering both years.
6.2 Fiscal Agent/Fiscal Conduit Relationship
(a) For National Board purposes, a fiscal agent is an agency that
maintains all EFSP financial records for another agency. A fiscal
conduit is an EFSP-funded agency that maintains all EFSP financial
records on behalf of one or more agencies under a single grant. If any
one agency in a jurisdiction is making bulk purchases for other
agencies not funded directly, it must serve as a fiscal conduit and
follow all the applicable rules.
(b) The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit is the organization responsible
for the receipt of funds, disbursement of funds to vendors, and
documentation of funds received. The fiscal agent/fiscal conduit must
meet all of the requirements of an LRO.
(c) Local Boards may wish to use a fiscal agent/fiscal conduit when
they desire to fund an agency that does not have an adequate accounting
system nor conducts an annual audit, but nevertheless meets all other
criteria. The Local Board may authorize funds to be channeled through
another agency that is a designated fiscal agent/conduit. Fiscal
agents/conduits are accountable for compliance with program
requirements.
(d) Any agency benefiting from funds received by a fiscal agent/
fiscal conduit must meet all of the criteria to be an LRO except the
accounting system and annual audit requirements and must sign the
Fiscal Agent/Fiscal Conduit Relationship Certification Form. For
tracking purposes, all agencies funded through fiscal agents or fiscal
conduits must secure a Federal Employer's Identification Number.
(e) Fiscal agents/fiscal conduits may cut checks to vendors only.
They may not cut checks to the agencies on whose behalf they are acting
or to agencies/sites under their ``umbrella.'' The exception to this is
when an agency is using the per diem allowance for mass shelters or the
per meal allowance for served meals.
(f) Fiscal agents must submit individual interim and final reports
for each agency. Fiscal conduits will file a single interim report on
their awards along with a breakdown of agencies and spending with the
final report.
(g) Any LRO with an outstanding compliance exception may not be
funded under a fiscal agent/fiscal conduit. If a fiscal agent has an
unresolved compliance exception, any other funds awarded to the fiscal
agent (either as a grant for its own program or as fiscal agent for
another agency) will be held in escrow until all compliance exceptions
are resolved. Fiscal conduits will be audited as a single award, and
will be handled as any other LRO.
6.3 Financial Terms and Conditions
(a) Definitions.
``Local Recipient Organization'' refers to the local private or
public organizations that will receive any award of funds from the
National Board.
``Award'' refers to the award of funds made by the National Board
to a local private or public organization on the recommendation of a
Local Board.
``End-of-program date'' refers to the date, as agreed upon by Local
and National Board, by which a given jurisdiction must spend or return
all monies.
(b) Amendments.
The National Board may amend an award at any time based on written
information provided by a Local Board. Both the National Board and the
Local Board must execute amendments that reflect the rights and
obligations of either party. The National Board may unilaterally issue
administrative amendments such as changes in accounting data.
(c) Local Board Authority Related to LROs.
(1) The Local Board is responsible for monitoring expenditures of
LROs providing food and/or shelter services, authorizing the adjustment
of funds between food and shelter programs, and reallocating funds from
one LRO to another.
(2) Local Boards may not alter or change National Board cost
eligibility or approve expenditures outside the National Board's
criteria without
[[Page 22918]]
National Board permission. (Refer to Section 3.1 on Variances and
Waivers.)
(3) A Local Board can call back funds from an LRO and reallocate to
another LRO in the case of gross negligence, inadequate use of funds,
failure to use funds, failure to use funds for purposes intended, or
for any other violation of the National Board guidelines, or in cases
of critical need in the community. The Local Board must advise, in
writing, all concerned LROs of any reallocation of their original
award.
(4)(i) If the Local Board discovers ineligible expenditures by an
LRO, the Local Board must send to the organization a written request
for reimbursement of the amount and must notify the National Board. If
the LRO is unwilling or unable to reimburse the National Board for the
ineligible expenditures, the Local Board must refer the matter to the
National Board. The National Board may ask the Local Board to take
further action to see that the LRO reimburses the National Board for
any ineligible expenditures or the National Board may refer the matter
to FEMA.
(ii) If the Local Board suspects that an LRO has committed fraud,
the Local Board must contact the Office of the Inspector General, FEMA,
in writing or by telephone at 1-800-323-8603 with details of suspected
fraud or misuse of Federal funds.
(5) If an LRO received an award under previous phases, it must not
include those funds in any reporting for the present awards. Reports
should be confined to the amount granted by the National Board under
the new appropriations legislation.
(d) Cash Depositories.
(1) Any money advanced to the LRO under the terms of this award
must be deposited in a bank with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) or Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC)
insurance coverage (whose responsibility has been taken over by FDIC),
and the balance exceeding the FDIC or FSLIC coverage must be secured
collaterally. LROs must put back into program costs any interest income
earned on these monies.
(2) LROs are encouraged to use minority banks (a bank owned at
least 50 percent by minority group members). This is consistent with
the national goal of expanding the opportunities for minority business
enterprises. A list of minority-owned banks is available from the
Office of Minority Business Enterprises, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, DC 20203.
(e) Retention and Custodial Requirements for Records.
(1) LROs must retain financial records, supporting documentation,
statistical records, and all other records pertinent to the award for
three years, with the following exceptions:
(i) If any litigation, claim or audit begins before the expiration
of the three-year period, the LRO must retain the records until
resolution of all litigation, claims or audit findings involving the
records.
(ii) LROs must retain records for nonexpendable property, if any,
acquired in part with Federal funds for three years after submission of
a final report. ``Non-expendable property'' means tangible property
having a useful life of more than one year and an acquisition cost of
more than $300 per unit.
(2) The retention period starts from the date the LRO submits the
final expenditure report.
(3) The National Board may request transfer of certain records to
its custody from the LRO when it determines that the records possess
long-term retention value. The LRO must make such transfers as
requested.
(4) The Director of FEMA, the Comptroller General of the United
States, and the National Board, or any of their authorized
representatives, will have access to any pertinent books, documents,
papers, and records of the recipient organization, and its subgrantees
to make audits, examinations, excerpts and transcripts.
(f) Financial management systems. The LRO/fiscal agent or fiscal
conduit must maintain a financial management system that provides for
the following:
(1) Accurate, current and complete disclosures of the financial
results of this program.
(2) Records that identify adequately the source and application of
funds for federally supported activities. These records must contain
information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, obligations,
unobligated balances, assets, outlays, and incomes.
(3) Effective control over and accountability for all funds,
property, and other assets.
(4) Procedures for determining eligibility of costs in accordance
with the provisions of the EFSP manual.
(5) Accounting records supported by source documentation. The LRO
must maintain and retain a register of cash receipts and disbursements
and original supporting documentation such as purchase orders,
invoices, canceled checks, and whatever other documentation is
necessary to support its costs under the program.
(6) A systematic method to ensure timely and appropriate resolution
of audit findings and recommendations.
(7) In cases where more than one civil jurisdiction (e.g., a city
and a balance of county, or several counties) recommends awards to the
same LRO, the organization can combine these funds in a single account.
However, separate program records for each civil jurisdiction award
must be kept.
(h) Payment.
A first payment will be made to the LRO by the Secretariat upon
recommendation of the Local Board and approval by the National Board.
Second check requests include an interim report that each LRO must
complete. The Local Board Chair signs the request and mails it to the
National Board. Second/third installments will be held back until the
National Board reviews and clears the jurisdiction's final Local Board
report and documentation for the previous year.
(i) Financial reporting requirements.
(1) LROs must submit a financial status report to the Local Board;
the Local Board will forward to the National Board 45 days after the
jurisdiction's program ending date.
(2) The National Board will provide the LRO, through the Local
Board, with the necessary report forms well in advance of report
deadlines.
(j) Closeout procedures.
The following definitions apply to closeout procedures:
``Close-out'' is the process by which the National Board determines
that all applicable administrative actions and all required work of the
award are complete.
``Disallowed costs'' are those charges that the National Board
determines are unallowable under the legislation, National Board
requirements, applicable Federal cost principles, or other conditions
in the award. The applicable cost principles for Private Voluntary
Organizations are contained in OMB Circular A-133, ``Audit of States,
Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,'' and OMB Circular A-
110, ``Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Other
Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other
Non-Profit Organizations.'' The applicable cost principles for Public
Organizations are contained in OMB Circular A-87, ``Cost Principles for
State Agencies and Units of Local Governments.'' If you are unsure of
where to find these circulars, check with your local Congressional
Representative.
(k) Suspension and Termination Procedures.
[[Page 22919]]
The following definitions apply to suspensions and termination
procedures:
``Local Board Authority'' is authority to suspend/reallocate all or
a portion of an LRO's award at its discretion for any cause (i.e.,
inability to deliver services, suspected fraud, violation of eligible
costs, changing need in the community, etc.).
``Suspension'' of the award is an action by the Local Board or
National Board that temporarily suspends Federal assistance under the
award pending corrective action by the LRO or pending a decision by the
National Board to terminate the award.
``Termination'' of the award means the cancellation of Federal
assistance, in whole or in part, under the award at any time prior to
the date of completion.
(l) Lobbying.
(1) Pub. L. 101-121, section 319, states that an LRO will not use
Federally appropriated grant funds for lobbying activities. This
condition bars the use of Federal money for political activities, but
does not in any way restrict lobbying or political activities paid for
with non-Federal funds. This condition prohibits the use of Federal
grant funds for the following activities:
(i) Federal, State or local electioneering and support of such
entities as campaign organizations and political action committees;
(ii) Direct lobbying of the Congress and State legislatures to
influence legislation;
(iii) Grassroots lobbying concerning either Federal or State
legislation;
(iv) Lobbying of the Executive branch in connection with decisions
to sign or veto enrolled legislation; and,
(v) Efforts to use State or local officials to lobby the
Congressional or State Legislatures.
(2) Any LRO that will receive more than $100,000 in EFSP funds must
submit the following before grant payment:
(i) a certification form that the LRO will not use EFSP funds for
lobbying activities; and,
(ii) a disclosure of lobbying activities (if applicable).
6.4 Grant Payment Process
(a) United Way of America is the fiscal agent for the National
Board and will process all Local Board plans. Payments will be made to
organizations recommended by Local Boards for funding.
(b) The National Board offers two methods of payment to LROs:
direct deposit (electronic funds transfer) or checks. The National
Board encourages LROs to take advantage of direct deposit where
possible.
(c) The National Board will pay all awards totaling less than
$100,000 in two equal installments. They will pay awards totaling
$100,000 or more in two equal installments upon submission of lobbying
certification and disclosure.
(d) The National Board will distribute second payments once it
completes the jurisdiction's compliance review for the previous program
period. Second payments will be held in escrow until the LRO satisfies
all compliance exceptions. The deadline to request all second payments
under Phase XVII is July 31, 1999. Therefore, for those LROs ineligible
to receive their second checks due to unresolved compliance exceptions,
Local Boards must reallocate their escrowed awards by July 31, 1999.
(e) The National Board will mail all payments directly to the LRO,
and will mail second payments to the LRO only upon the written request
of the Local Board Chair, together with the LRO's interim report. The
Local Board will authorize second payments once they are assured that
the LRO is implementing the current program as intended and according
to these guidelines.
6.5 Eligibility of Costs
(a)(1) The intent of this appropriation is to purchase food and
shelter to supplement and expand current available resources and not to
substitute or reimburse ongoing programs and services. The LRO should

with the Local Board before action. Local Boards unsure of the meaning
of these guidelines should contact the National Board at (703) 706-9660
for clarification before advising the LRO. If an LRO requests an

supplies bought for and in anticipation of a natural disaster.
(27) Telephone costs, except as administrative allowance and
limited to the total allowance (2 percent).
(28) Salaries, except as administrative allowance and limited to
the total allowance (2 percent).
(29) Office equipment, except as administrative allowance and
limited to the total allowance (2 percent).
(30) LRO may not operate as a vendor for itself or other LROs,
except for shared maintenance fee for food banks.
(31) Direct expenses associated with new or expanded services or to
prevent closing.
(32) Increased utility costs due to expansion of service.
(33) Encumbrance of funds for shelter, emergency repairs,
utilities, that is, payments for goods or services that are purchased
and are to be delivered at a later date. Also, withholding assistance
in anticipation of a future need (e.g., holiday events, special
programs).
(34) Supplementing foster care costs, where an LRO has already
received payment for basic boarding of a client. Comprehensive foster
care costs beyond food and shelter are not allowed.
(35) No fee for service may be charged to individuals or families
in order to receive service.
(f) Administrative allowance.
[[Page 22922]]
(1) There is an administrative allowance limitation of two percent
(2%) of total funds received by the Local Board, excluding any interest
earned. This allowance is a part of the total award, not in addition to
the award. The local administrative allowance is intended for use by
LROs or Local Boards and not for reimbursement of the program or
administrative costs that a recipient's parent organization (its State
or regional offices) might incur as a result of this additional
funding.
(2) The Local Board may elect to use, for its own administrative
costs, all or any portion of the 2 percent allowance. The decision on
distribution of the allowance among LROs rests with the Local Board. No
LRO may receive an allowance greater than 2 percent of that LRO's award
amount unless the LRO is providing the administrative support for the
Local Board and it is approved by the National Board.
(3) The SSA Committee, when in operation, may use a maximum of one-
half of one percent (0.5%) for its administrative costs in allocating
the SSA grant. As with Local Board awards, this administrative
allowance is part of the total award, not in addition to the award.
(4) Any of the administrative allowance not used must be put back
into program funds for additional services. Note: The administrative
allowance may only be allocated in whole-dollar amounts.
Required Documentation: None with the final report; LROs receiving
funds for administration must retain documentation that the funds were
spent on the direct administration of EFSP.
6.6 Required Documentation
(a) Documentation. LRO documentation of EFSP expenditures requires
copies of canceled checks (both sides) and itemized vendor invoices. An
acceptable invoice has the following characteristics:
(1) It must be vendor originated;
(2) It must have name of vendor;
(3) It must have name of purchaser;
(4) It must have date of purchase;
(5) It must be itemized; and,
(6) It must have total cost of purchase.
(b) Documentation may also include: per diem schedule, per meal
allowance schedule, and mileage logs.
(c) All LROs must periodically submit documentation to the National
Board to ensure continued program compliance. Any LRO receiving over
$100,000 in Federal funds must comply with OMB Circular A-133.
(d) Reports. (1) In addition to the aforementioned documentation,
LROs must submit reports to the Local Board by their due date. Interim
report/second and third check request forms will be enclosed in the
LROs' first check package. When the LRO is ready to request its second/
third check it must complete and sign the interim report and forward it
to the Local Board for its review and approval. The Local Board chair
should complete the reverse side (second/third check request) and mail
it to the National Board. LROs must complete all portions of the final
report form, return two copies to the Local Board, including one copy
of documentation if requested, and retain a copy for their records.
(2) The LRO must work with the Local Board to clear up quickly any
problems related to compliance exception(s) at the end of the program.
7.0 Local Appeals Process
(a) Fairness and openness. An appeals process is a statement to
eligible agencies and to the community at large that the Local Board is
interested in fairness and openness.
(1) A good appeals process begins with prevention. If the Local
Board includes both representatives of affiliates of the National Board
and representatives of other groups involved with assisting hungry and
homeless people, it is less likely to experience an appeal. Similarly,
if the Local Board's decision-making process is open, thorough, and
even-handed, appeals are less likely.
(2) It is the responsibility of the Local Board to establish a
written appeals process. That process may be simple or elaborate,
depending on the needs of the community.
(b) Appeals guidelines. The appeal process should meet the
following guidelines:
(1) It should be available to agencies and to the public upon
request;
(2) It should be timely, without undue delay;
(3) It should include the basis for appeal (e.g., Provision of
information not previously available to the group making the appeal or
to the Local Board; correction of erroneous information; violation of
Federal or National Board guidelines; or allegation of bias, fraud, or
misuse of Federal funds on the part of the Local Board may be cause for
appeal);
(4) The decision should be communicated to the organization making
the appeal in a timely manner. In the case of an appeal on the basis of
fraud or other abuse of Federal funds, the Local Board must inform the
agency making the appeal of the right of referral to the National
Board;
(c) Primary decision-maker. Except for cost and LRO eligibility,
the Local Board is the primary decision-maker. Only when there is
significant question of misapplication of guidelines, fraud, or other
abuse on the part of the Local Board will the National Board consider
action.
(d) Common appeals practices. The National Board does not mandate
any particular appeals process. However, some Local Boards have
developed processes that work well for them and may offer some help to
other communities. Common practices include the following:
(1) Set a time period of not more than 30 days for agencies or
organizations to appeal a funding decision;
(2) Require written notice of appeal, signed by the Chief Volunteer
Officer of the organization making the appeal;
(3) The first level of appeal is usually to the Local Board, or to
an executive committee of the board;
(e) Appeals board; delegations. Some boards appoint one or more
members to act as a liaison with the organization making the appeal:
(1) In the case of an appeal for the purpose of providing
previously unavailable information or correction of erroneous
information, the process usually ends with prompt notification of
decision (within ten working days of appeal).
(2) In the case of appeals for the purpose of contesting alleged
prejudice, violation of law or National Board guidelines, fraud, or
misuse of Federal funds, some Local Boards have allowed appeals to a
group other than the Local Board itself. This practice is not required
but the National Board permits it. Such groups may simply be composed
of different individuals representing the same organizations that make
up the Local Board. They may also include an entirely different group
of persons who have knowledge of the program and the Local Board deems
them to be both responsible and unbiased, and to hold the trust of the
community at large.
(3) If the board chooses to delegate authority to any third party
in an appeals process, the power and authority of that body should be
clear. Is it simply advisory to the Local Board? Will the board abide
by the decisions of this body as long as they are consistent with the
law and the National Board guidelines?
(4) The disposition of appeals is often communicated by telephone
to the chief
[[Page 22923]]
professional and volunteer officers of the organization appealing
immediately after a decision is made. In such cases, a written
communication is sent as soon as possible confirming the action taken.
The written communication is, of course, the official notification.
(f) National Board role. It is important to reaffirm that the
National Board does not require or advise any single appeals process.
8.0 Allocations Formula
(a) Designation of Target Areas.
(1) The National Board will select local jurisdictions to receive
funds based on average unemployment statistics from the U.S. Department
of Labor for the most current 12-month period (August 1, 1997--July 31,
1998) available. The National Board also uses poverty statistics from
the 1990 Census. The Board uses this approach in order to target funds
for high-need areas more effectively. Funds designated for a particular
jurisdiction must be used to provide services within that jurisdiction.
(2) The National Board bases its determination of high-need
jurisdictions on four factors:
(i) Most current twelve-month national unemployment rates;
(ii) Total number of unemployed within a civil jurisdiction;
(iii) Total number of individuals below the poverty level within a
civil jurisdiction; and,
(iv) The total population of the civil jurisdiction.
(3) In addition to unemployment, the National Board uses poverty to
qualify a jurisdiction for receipt of an award.
(b) Fiscal Year 1999 Formula. (1) The National Board selected
jurisdictions under Phase XVII (PL 105-276) according to the following
criteria:
(i) Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 18,000+
unemployed and a 3.6% rate of unemployment.
(ii) Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 400 to
17,999 unemployed and a 5.6% rate of unemployment.
(iii) Jurisdictions, including balance of counties, with 400 or
more unemployed and an 11.7% rate of poverty.
(2) Jurisdictions with a minimum of 400 unemployed may qualify for
an award based upon their rate of unemployment or their rate of
poverty. Once a jurisdiction's eligibility is established, the National
Board will determine its fund distribution based on a ratio calculated
as follows: the average number of unemployed within an eligible area
divided by the average number of unemployed covered by the national
program equals the area's portion of the award (less National Board
administrative costs, and less that portion of program funds required
to fulfill designated awards).

(3) Puerto Rico and U.S. territories will receive a designated
percentage of the total award based on the decision of the National
Board.
9.0 Amendments to Plan
The National Board reserves the right to amend this Plan at any
time.
