Background on SBP:
SBP exists to shrink the time between disaster and recovery. We believe that a prompt, efficient, and predictable recovery fortifies survivors against reaching their breaking point. SBP is committed to sharing resources and best practices that we have developed over the past 15 years with other nonprofits and community-based organizations. To learn more about SBP, please visit SBPUSA.ORG.
Program Overview:
SBP’s Share program awards grants to qualifying nonprofit partners to address the unmet housing needs of under-resourced neighbors and communities in a timely and efficient manner. SBP also offers grantees technical training on topics such as disaster case management, volunteer management, construction, contractor selection and management, and mold remediation. Additionally, SBP can also award AmeriCorps member “slots” to qualifying organizations to help build capacity, launch new programs, or support existing efforts.
