Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 047 00 99
The Fiscal Year 2021 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program run by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA. It is designed to help communities invest in hazard mitigation projects and related activities that reduce the risk and long-term impacts of natural hazards. The central idea behind BRIC is to move beyond reacting to disasters after they happen and instead put resources into strengthening infrastructure and community systems ahead of time, so that future disasters cause less damage, fewer disruptions, and lower recovery costs.
A major theme of this opportunity is the growing influence of climate change on disaster risk. The program description emphasizes that hazards are increasing both in the form of acute extreme events (such as severe storms, flooding, hurricanes, and other high-impact weather incidents) and chronic stressors (longer-term conditions that gradually strain communities, such as changing precipitation patterns, sea level rise impacts, persistent drought, heat stress, and other ongoing environmental pressures). BRIC supports mitigation approaches that are aligned with climate adaptation and resilience, meaning projects should be forward-looking and designed to perform under future conditions, not just historical ones.
BRIC funding is made available to a range of public-sector applicants. Eligible applicants include state governments, U.S. territories, and federally recognized tribal governments, as well as local communities (the program description indicates local communities are intended beneficiaries). The District of Columbia and U.S. territories are also referenced in the description, reflecting the program's broad geographic scope. The assistance is provided through a grant funding instrument under CFDA number 97.047, which identifies the federal assistance listing associated with this hazard mitigation program area.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DHS 21 MT 047 00 99 and was created on August 9, 2021. The original application closing date listed for this cycle was January 28, 2022. The listing notes an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that a single maximum award amount was not specified in the summary data and that award sizes may vary depending on project type, applicant, and FEMA selection decisions. The expected number of awards is not provided in the source information, suggesting that the total count of awards was either not predetermined or not captured in the summary fields.
In practical terms, BRIC is positioned as an investment-oriented mitigation program: it supports efforts that reduce hazard risk and strengthen resilience, with explicit attention to climate-informed threats. The program is aimed at enabling governments and communities to plan for, design, and implement mitigation activities that better protect people, property, and critical infrastructure, while improving the ability of communities to withstand and recover from both sudden disasters and slower-building climate-related stresses.Apply for DHS 21 MT 047 00 99
