This is in response to a letter from your office dated August 3, 2016, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the Springfield Housing Authority (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s denial of funding in the amount of $486,504.86 for additional claimed disaster-related damages and reimbursement of demolition costs for the public housing building (Facility) owned by the Applicant. As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant did not timely identify additional damages or request to change the scope of work in line with FEMA policy. Furthermore, the Applicant has not demonstrated the interior damages to the first three floors are the direct result of the disaster. Finally, as FEMA previously denied a request for demolition expenses of this Facility in a prior appeal decision, that request is barred. As the Applicant materially failed to comply with the terms of PW 78’s award, the Regional Administrator properly deobligated funds for this project. Merits aside, the appeal is also untimely. Accordingly, the appeal is denied. Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
