U.S. Senators Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded $4,335,431 to Georgia as part of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which provides supplemental funding to shelters, soup kitchens and food banks. One-month awards for rent, mortgage and utility assistance are also available through the program to help individuals and families with non-disaster, temporary emergency needs.
“Countless Georgians in communities across our state work each day to help our fellow citizens have access to food, shelter, and other critical services during times of need, and it is important that we continue to support these local organizations,” said Chambliss.
“These vital funds aid local communities by helping those who need it most,” Isakson said. “I will continue to work with my colleagues in support of the programs that mean so much to so many Georgia communities.”
Additional jurisdictions in Georgia may be selected at a later date by the Emergency Food and Shelter Program State Set-Aside Committee.
