Frequently Asked Questions 

1. Where can I get general information about the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)?

On the EFSP website at http://www.efsp.unitedway.org/efsp/pages/about.htm

2. What is the application process for the EFSP?

RFPs are usually sent out in September on a provisional basis (funding is not finalized at that time) and public notices are printed in major newspapers in all five counties. A grant workshop is held in October to notify agencies of grant information. Agencies submit proposals to the Allocations Committee for review in early November. Allocations Committee award recommendations are then sent to the Board for approval. Award letters are sent to the LROs after Board approval. Sacramento and Yolo counties are usually ready to start a new grant phase by January. Because Placer, El Dorado and Alpine counties require letters of request to the state Set-Aside Committee for funding, awards are not usually not finalized until March. Agency monitoring begins in May and continues through the end of July.

3. What are some important dates I need to remember?

  • LROs' Interim Report/Second Payment requests due to Local Board no later than July 15, 2007

  • LROs' Interim Report/Second Payment requests due to National Board no later than July 31, 2007

  • EFT enrollment form for new LROs: Newly funded LROs must sign up for EFT not later than May 31, 2007

  • Phase 25 Grant Workshop: October 6, 2006 (http://www.communitycouncil.org/efsp/workshop.html for details)

4. When will I receive the second part of my award?

Second payments will be dispersed to eligible LROs only upon written submission of each LROs Second Payment Request/Interim Report. LROs must be enrolled in EFT to receive the second payment. There must not be any documentation or reporting issues or the second payment will not be issued.

5. Where can I access the forms that I need?

Forms can be found on the EFSP website at http://efsp.unitedway.org/ or on the CSPC website at http://www.communitycouncil.org/efsp/files.html
