§ 2501. Individual and Family Grant Program for Emergencies and Major Disasters.

Whenever the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and the President has declared an emergency or a major disaster to exist in the State, and has authorized the Individual and Family Grant Program (IFGP) as prescribed by Section 408 of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-288), the Governor shall direct the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to take any steps necessary to make the grant program available to the residents of the State.

The Cal EMA may designate a State agency to administer the Individual and Family Grant Program, and in accordance with Government Code Section 8654(c) develop the California Administrative Plan for IFGP. The designated agency may contract with local agencies in the affected counties to assist in implementing the program.

Administration of IFGP will be performed in accordance with the terms of the California Administrative Plan for IFGP and with 24 CFR 2205.48.

Eligibility for grants of up to $5,000 will be determined in accordance with the criteria established in 24 CFR 2205.48 and other Housing and Urban Development Department regulations.

The California Administrative Plan for IFGP and the federal regulations referred to above, describe procedures for application and administration; methods of investigation, processing, and approving applications; formation of local or statewide review boards to pass upon applications; and procedures for appeals.
