FEMA developed the Grants Portal to streamline the Public Assistance process and facilitate collaboration between FEMA, Recipient, and the Applicant. The system benefits the Recipient and the Applicant in the following ways:

• Facilitates full project visibility
• Sign in to their account and view their project status during the Public Assistance process
• Enhances coordination and communication
• Communicate with and set up meetings with their Program Delivery Manager via Grants Portal
• Streamlines work
• Upload all work and documentation related to the Applicant's project into Grants Portal. It also sends automatic notifications when there are tasks to complete
• Improves document collection and retention
• Upload pertinent documentation and store it in the system for future use. These can be updated at any time
