To be eligible for PA funding, a PNP applicant must own or operate an eligible facility. An eligible PNP facility is one that provides either: (1) a critical service; or (2) a non-critical, but essential social service to the general public. FEMA considers houses of worship to be eligible non-critical, social type services. FEMA determines that the Applicant is a PNP providing eligible services through a HOW. The Facility is an eligible PNP facility; work and costs for its restoration are eligible for PA funding.

The Applicant is an eligible PNP that owns and operates an eligible Facility, a house of worship, through which it provides eligible services. Work and costs to restore the Facility are eligible for PA funding. Therefore, this appeal is granted.
