§11331 Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board

Summary

Creates the Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board and says the FEMA Administrator must set it up under the rules in subsection (b). The Board is made up of the Director plus six members the Director appoints. The first members had to be named within 30 days after July 22, 1987. Each member must come from nominees sent by one of six groups: United Way of America; The Salvation Army; National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; Catholic Charities U.S.A.; Council of Jewish Federations, Inc.; and the American Red Cross. The Director is the Board’s chair. The Board makes its own rules unless this subchapter says otherwise. Once the new members are appointed, the older national board created under Public Law 99–500 or Public Law 99–591 ends, and its staff, property, records, and any undistributed program funds move to the new Board.
