Program details
How it works
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry offers Hazard Mitigation and Community Education Grants to communities, groups, and organizations to make homes and neighborhoods safer from wildfire. The program is aimed at community-scale wildfire risk reduction, not direct homeowner payments. The official page says recipients have included cities, towns, and communities at risk or with potential for loss from wildland fires.
What the money covers
The page describes funding for hazard mitigation and community education projects identified in a Community Wildfire Prevention Plan (CWPP). It does not list a fixed dollar amount on the page.
How to apply
The page says communities that have developed a CWPP are eligible for funding to implement projects identified in that plan. The Division of Forestry partners with the Appalachian Resource, Conservation and Development Council (ARCD) to administer and manage the grant program. The Division reviews and approves applications and directs ARCD for approved expenditures.
Timing and deadlines
The page states the 2027 application period is October 15 through November 15, 2026.
