FEMA Withholds SSP Program Payments to Migrant Shelters Pending Review

  1. Original Date Announced

    March 13, 2025

    FEMA sent a letter to grant recipients of FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program, asking for "contact information" for migrants who were served at their shelter facilities as well as “a detailed and descriptive list of specific services provided." FEMA notified these organizations that additional funding would be held while the agency conducted its review. The reporting on these letters occurred around the time that subpoenas were served by federal prosecutors against shelters in NYC.

    A redacted copy of one such letter dated March 11, 2025, is included as evidence of the new policy.
