PA Simplified Procedures for Small Projects

In August, 2022, FEMA implemented a regulatory change to increase the small project maximum for the FEMA Public Assistance Program to $1 million for 2023. Simplified procedures allow FEMA to fund eligible small projects based on estimates, which expedites disaster recovery funding to applicants and reduces administrative burden. 

The current Small Project Cap for Federal FY26 is $1,093,800. 

Please note, FEMA did not change any programmatic requirements. The forms and application processes for small and large projects will not change, the documentation requirements for small and large projects will not change, and applicants must still comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies on all projects.
