FEMA implements the CCP as a supplemental assistance program available to states, U.S. territories, and federally recognized tribes after a Presidential disaster declaration that includes Individual Assistance. After the award of this grant, the state, territory, or tribe works with contracted provider agencies to hire and train crisis counselors to conduct outreach in the affected areas.
