Thank you for your efforts to help rebuild the homes and the lives of those impacted by Winter Storm Uri. We are thrilled at the prospect of working together.
As a long-term disaster recovery and rebuilding organization, we know well that delayed recovery can cause a real human toll, and that prompt, efficient, and predictable recovery plans fortify survivors against their breaking point. Our goal for this program is to quickly and effectively address the unmet housing needs of our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. This grant is made available to partner organizations in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma to provide funding to support the repair of homes affected by Winter Storm Uri. Training and technical assistance on the implementation of SBP’s lean, efficient rebuilding model are also available to all partner organizations.
Our goal for this RFP is to avoid the complexities of typical RFP processes and to disburse funds to qualified organizations as quickly as possible so that they can rebuild and repair homes quickly. The funding provided through this grant program must be directed towards immediate plumbing and home repairs related to home damage caused by Winter Storm Uri. We are open to funding nonprofit organizations that are repairing homes for the first time. Please respond and complete as best you can.
In an effort to serve clients quickly, RFP responses will be accepted, reviewed, and awarded on a rolling basis starting on March 8th, 2021 through June 1, 2021, or, as long as funds remain available. All work funded through this grant must be complete by June 30, 2021. Partners are encouraged to apply for subsequent funding upon completion of their first round.
