FEMA PA APPEAL SHORT SUMMARY & LINKS TO FEMA PA APPEAL WEBSITE

This is in response to your letter dated April 11, 2014, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Philadelphia Ministries (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of funding for the repairs and contents of two mixed-use facilities. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that neither facility meets private nonprofit (PNP) facility eligibility requirements pursuant to 44 C.F.R. §206.221(e) and Recovery Division Policy (RDP) 9521.3 Private Nonprofit Facility (PNP) Eligibility. As such, the contents of ineligible facilities are also ineligible. Therefore, I am denying this appeal. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination constitutes the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
