In response to interface issues with the website used for the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program, FEMA has extended the application period for the Fiscal Year 2021 grant program.
FEMA reported that some users had interface issues related to SAM.gov and the FEMA Go System, including error messages indicating that their organizations were not found or their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)/Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) combination did not exist despite active SAM.gov accounts.
General Services Administration and FEMA have extended the 2021 AFG Program application period and it will remain open until 5:00 p.m. ET on Jan. 21, 2022.
The deadline extension is automatically granted to all applicants, FEMA shared Thursday.
FEMA continues to encourage applicants to review the FY 2021 AFG Program Notice of Funding Opportunity and the associated tools posted on the FEMA website.
