The Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP) has been completely cut from the FY 2010 House of Representatives and Senate budgets and also from the President’s budget request. Since the program’s inception in fiscal year (FY) 2005, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded thousands of grants to smaller jurisdictions who are not eligible for funding through the Urban Areas Security Initiative grant program. The program received $8 million in FY 2009, $17.6 million in FY 2008, and $33.7 million in FY 2007
