The PSAP Grant Program is a multi-million dollar grant program administered by the Virginia Wireless E-911 Services Board. The primary purpose of this program is to financially assist Virginia primary PSAPs with the purchase of equipment and services that support the continuity and enhancement of wireless E-911. Any Virginia primary PSAP that supports wireless E-911 is eligible to apply for and receive these funds either as a stand alone applicant or as part of a regional initiative or a consolidation project. Grant awards can not exceed $150,000 for an individual primary PSAP, $300,000 for a regional initiative, or $600,000 for a consolidation project.
The deadline to apply for a grant each year is September 30th, unless an alternate date is established by the Board. Primary PSAPs need to submit their requests using the online automated application on VITA’s Integrated Services Program website, unless an alternate method for submission is established by the Board. Individual PSAP and regional initiative applicants will have a twelve month grant period in which to expend their grant awards. Consolidation project applicants will have a twenty four month grant period in which to expend their grant awards. All grant periods will run consistent with the Commonwealth’s fiscal year. However, this program cannot guarantee grant funding to sustain multi-year projects.
