State-911 Department Support and Incentive Grant eligibility requirements

Read about eligibility requirements

 

Eligibility requirements for the State 911 Department’s Support and Incentive Grants include having provided MassGIS with: 1) updated standardized parcel mapping and 2) updates concerning new, changed, or retired addresses. PSAP status relative to the two requirements is found in this PDF document. A PSAP's status for either requirement is updated by MassGIS whenever there is a change from “NO” to either “YES” or “PRELIM”. For either of the eligibility requirements, a status of “YES” or “PRELIM” means that the requirement has been met for the grant application.

A status of “NO” means that MassGIS has not received the required update. A status of “YES” indicates that MassGIS has received the required update. For parcel mapping updates, a status of “PRELIM” indicates one of the following:

1. MassGIS has confirmed with staff in the relevant municipal department (often, but not always, the Assessing Department) that the required update is under development and will be delivered in the current calendar year.
2. MassGIS has received an update but that update has not yet met the requirements of MassGIS’ parcel mapping standard. Failure to achieve compliance means the status automatically reverts to “NO” for the next fiscal year's grants.
3. A regional PSAP/RECC has one or more communities that are not meeting the requirement. 

For address updates, a status of “PRELIM” indicates that MassGIS has been informed by staff in the relevant municipal department that updates will be provided OR is aware that the regional PSAP Director is working with all their municipalities, to ensure that MassGIS will receive address updates going forward.

RECC/Regional PSAP status by community relative to the two requirements above is found in this PDF document.
