Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program: Award Alternatives for a Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Government
From the Document: "FEMA funds the Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) to support disaster-related mental health assistance and training activities in areas that have received a Presidential major disaster declaration for Individual Assistance with CCP. Funding is provided through a federal award (e.g. grant or cooperative agreement) after the submission of an approvable application. When requested by state, tribal, or territorial governments under the approved declaration, the federal award may be used to provide crisis counseling services or contract with local mental health service entities familiar with the affected community. The CCP does not have a cost share. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Center for Mental Health Services, within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), works in partnership with FEMA to provide technical assistance, consultation, grant administration, program oversight and training for state, tribal, and territorial designated mental health authorities."

In its April 29, 2020, memorandum, FEMA advises that the ability to donate or repurpose funds is limited for its grants and assistance programs; this memorandum serves as an update."
