Re: Second Appeal – V.I. Housing Authority/St. Thomas, PA ID: 000-UEVGF-00,
FEMA-4335-DR-VI, Project Worksheet (PW) 68 – Immediate Threat
Dear Ms. Williams-Octalien:
This is in response to your letter dated May 29, 2020, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of the Virgin Islands Housing Authority/St. Thomas (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) denial of Public Assistance (PA) funding for security services work at the Central Office Complex (Facility).
As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that the Applicant has not demonstrated that an immediate threat to public safety resulting from the disaster existed after it repaired the Facility’s security fence. Accordingly, the security services work at issue is not eligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.
Sincerely,
/S/
Tod Wells
Deputy Director, Policy and Strategy
Public Assistance Division
