Flood Infrastructure Fund (FIF) Federal Award Matching Funds
Formerly Category 3 of the Flood Infrastructure Fund (FIF), the FIF program may provide for a portion of an applicant’s federal match amount. The applicant must have received a federal award for flood-related activities contingent on the availability of local matching funds. Proposed activities must be a recommended Flood Management Evaluation (FME), Flood Mitigation Project (FMP), or Flood Management Strategy (FMS) in a Regional Flood Plan. A federal application must be submitted by the abridged application submission date, and federal funds must be awarded prior to TWDB invitation to submit a full application.
Eligible projects include property acquisition, structural elevation, and drainage projects, such as detention ponds and sewer improvements, which are federally funded through programs such as Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
