What are reasonable costs for food? Is it based on the federal governments meal allowance per day for that city times the number of family members?
• We will reimburse applicants for providing food to evacuees at congregate shelters and hotel/motel rooms that do not have kitchens. We will also reimburse applicants for costs incurred for providing food for up to 14 days after placing evacuees into housing units with kitchens. The 14-day period will allow evacuees to make arrangements for their own food. The Federal per diem rate for meals can be used as a guide to evaluate reasonableness. If an applicant provides food through a catering service, for example, the applicant should follow its normal procurement procedures.
