To be eligible for Public Assistance funding, a PNP applicant must own or operate an eligible PNP facility. An eligible PNP facility includes facilities that provide noncritical, but essential social services to the general public, such as low-income housing. PNP facilities that provide both eligible and ineligible services are considered mixed-use facilities. If FEMA determines that 50 percent or more of physical space is dedicated to ineligible services, the entire facility is ineligible. The Applicant does not provide an eligible service, such as owning or operating low-income housing as defined by Federal or SLTT law or regulation. While the Applicant also provides food distribution to seniors, it is not the Applicant’s primary mission. The only eligible spaces in the Applicant’s facility are the emergency shelter and food bank areas, which comprise less than half of the physical space.

FEMA finds that the Applicant has not demonstrated that it is an eligible PNP applicant because it does not own or operate an eligible PNP facility. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
