National Board Program. Specifically, the EFS program offers financial assistance and technical support to agencies which serve homeless individuals and families.
Jurisdictions qualify for grants based on a formula comprised of unemployment and poverty data.
In each jurisdiction, a Local Board oversees the funding, advertises the availability of resources, establishes regional priorities, selects non-profit agencies to receive funds, and monitors compliance with program regulations. We are pleased to announce the awarding of these food and shelter funds. Homelessness knows no boundaries, and all parts of Maine and the nation have unmet needs. Listed below are the grant amounts for each county receiving funding. An individual with the organizations listed is the contact in each jurisdiction.
