The Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

is a federally funded program to supplement the work of local social service agencies to help people with economic (not disaster-related) emergencies. EFSP provides local communities support to help residents with utility, housing and food needs.

Indiana Association of United Ways (IaUW) administers the State Set-Aside allocations for Indiana. During FY 09, IaUW administered both regular "phase" funding and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) supplemental funding for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP).

Each community has a Local Board, which selects the Local Recipient Organizations (LROs) for providing the emergency assistance to people in need. Local Boards are meeting in spring/summer for distribution to LROs this summer and fall.

NEW Phase 28 (FY 2010): The State Set-Aside Committee met February 19, 2010, to determine recommendations. Indiana was allocated funding of a total of $4,293,232 for Phase 28 (FY 10) for distribution to Indiana communities of which $592,742 was in State Set-Aside allocations for 27 counties.
