§11331 Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board

Summary

Creates an Emergency Food and Shelter Program National Board and requires the FEMA Administrator to form it as described. The Board will include the Director plus six members the Director appoints. The first six members had to be named within 30 days after July 22, 1987. Each of those members must come from people nominated by one of these groups: The United Way of America; The Salvation Army; The National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.; Catholic Charities U.S.A.; The Council of Jewish Federations, Inc.; or The American Red Cross. The Director is the Board’s chair. Unless another rule in this subchapter says otherwise, the Board makes its own procedures and policies. Once the new members are appointed, the earlier national board set up under section 101(g) of Public Law 99–500 or Public Law 99–591 ends, and its staff, property, records, and any undistributed program funds must be transferred to the new National Board.
