Ramsey County │ Annex E: Recovery 17 4.2.1.3 Other Federal Programs Other federal agencies may implement non-Stafford Act recovery programs or programs authorized under disaster-specific legislation. For example: • The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides low-interest loans for repairs to damaged homes and for damage to businesses. • The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides funding to state and local governments for the restoration of damaged roads, bridges, and other features that are part of the system of federal aid routes. 4.2.2 DELIVERY OF FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FEMA coordinates Stafford Act programs with MN HSEM through the Joint Field Office (JFO). Coordination of other programs, such as the FHWA Emergency Relief Program (ERP), may occur outside the JFO. Federal funding for these programs, such as PA, may pass through the state, or it may be delivered directly to recipients, such as with assistance to individuals through the Individual Housing Program (IHP). MN HSEM also administers the State Disaster Assistance Program if eligibility requirements are met. 5.
