The Emergency Food and Shelter Program was established in 1983 by Congress with the intent of supplementing local efforts to provide emergency food and shelter to people in need during economic emergencies. Since its inception, the program has distributed over $2 billion to communities across the country. In Phase 27 (FY 2008-2009), the Sacramento Regional Emergency Food and Shelter Board allocated approximately $1.7 million to more than 40 non-profit social service agencies in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, Alpine, and El Dorado Counties.

The EFSP National Board governs the Emergency Food and Shelter Program. The Sacramento Regional Emergency Food and Shelter Board is the Designated Local Board (DLB) comprised of member agencies, as well as a range of service providers, coalitions, advocacy groups, technical assistance providers, planning and community development agencies, and minority and grassroots providers.

Phase 27 Accomplishments

The DLB would like to thank Local Recipient Organizations (LROs) for a job well done in Phase 27! It was a successful year and LROs were able to do so much with so little money. LROs provided over 400,000 meals; 75,000 shelter nights; and helped more than 900 families with rent, mortgage or utility assistance.

Phase 25 Funding (FY 2006-2007)

The total awards available for allocations are as follows (minus 2% administration allowance):
