AmeriCorps CNCS Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement 94.020

Program Information

Popular name

AmeriCorps Disaster Response Team

Program Number

94.020

Program objective

The AmeriCorps Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement (DRCA) is an initiative through which national service programs provide support to communities affected by disaster and are reimbursed for expenses in times of disasters. Programs that hold a DRCA are part of the AmeriCorps Disaster Response Team (A-DRT) Program, a national service disaster focused program. Only programs with an executed Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement will be eligible for deployment and reimbursement of expenses. Through the A-DRT Program, AmeriCorps establishes cooperative agreements with eligible organizations that can provide national service participants to support disaster response. Organizations that want to be part of the A-DRT Program must be AmeriCorps grantees and sub-grantees, to include AmeriCorps State, AmeriCorps Seniors, State Service Commissions, and AmeriCorps National Direct. Only programs with an executed Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement will be eligible for deployment and reimbursement of expenses.
