What Is This Program?

The FY 2023 RCPGP encourages eligible applicants to submit project proposals that address the following core capabilities: community resilience, housing, and long-term vulnerability reduction and address the needs of disadvantaged communities. Community and regional level resilience plans and strategies address the full range of hazards and stressors affecting the ability of communities to survive, adapt, and thrive and enable effective risk reduction. Communities facing severe challenges with affordable housing that is resilient to all hazards, or long-term vulnerability reduction, may use this planning grant to develop specific targeted resilience strategies and plans, or integrate these challenges into broader approaches. Communities may also use this grant to enhance existing plans and strategies to better address the broad range of resilience challenges they may face. These plans and strategies can serve as a tool for leveraging federal investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as well as other sources of funding. Furthermore, priority is given to those planning efforts that address the needs of disadvantaged communities who might be at special risk because of current and/or future hazards, including those associated with climate change. By addressing the needs of disadvantaged communities, the FY 2023 RCPGP ensures consistent and systematic, fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals before, during, and after a disaster.
