FEMA

Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP)

Each year, United Way, under an agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), administers EFSP funds for Knox County with guidance from a local volunteer board.

In 2005, $132,086 was distributed to seven area agencies to be used for food, utility and mortgage/rental assistance for individuals and families to prevent homelessness.
