The FMA program aims to promote equity in delivery of funds in line with the Administration’s Justice40 Initiative. In implementing the Justice40 Initiative, the FMA program is prioritizing assistance that benefits disadvantaged communities. A disadvantaged community may be characterized by variables including, but not limited to: low income, high and/or persistent poverty, high unemployment and underemployment, racial and ethnic segregation particularly where the segregation stems from discrimination by government entities, linguistic isolation, high housing cost burden and substandard housing, distressed neighborhoods, high transportation cost burden and/or low transportation access, disproportionate environmental burden and high cumulative impacts, limited water and sanitation access and affordability, disproportionate climate impacts, and high energy cost burden and low energy access, jobs lost through the energy transition, and access to health care.
The FMA program is using the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) at the census tract level at a threshold of 0.7501 or greater as included in the project’s benefiting area map as a priority scoring criterion for Project Scoping, Community Flood Mitigation Projects, and Individual Flood Mitigation Projects project types.
