Homeland Security Grant Program

 

The objective of the FY 2023 HSGP is to fund SLTT efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare the Nation for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States. The objective of the FY 2023 THSGP is to provide funding directly to eligible tribes to strengthen their capacities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to potential terrorist attacks. HSGP consists of three components: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). SHSP supports state, local, tribal, and territorial preparedness activities in efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism. UASI assists high-threat, high-density Urban Areas in efforts to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, mitigate, and respond to acts of terrorism. OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. OPSG provides funding to support joint efforts to secure the United States borders along routes of ingress from international borders to include travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders. For FY 2023, DHS/FEMA will award SHSP and UASI funds based on DHS/FEMAs relative risk methodology pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. The Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) is a carve-out of SHSP. Among the five basic homeland security missions noted in the DHS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024, both the HSGP and THSGP support the goal to Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience. Performance Measures for FY 2023 are: HSGP - SHSP and UASI/THSGP 1. Percentage of funding allocated by the recipient to core capabilities to build or sustain national priorities identified in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO); 2. Percentage of funding and projects allocated by the recipient that align to capability gaps identified through the THIRA/SPR process; 3. Percentage of projects identified by the recipient that address a capability gap in a core capability that has a target(s) rated as high. HSGP - OPSG: 1. Number of contacts that occurred as a result of OPSG deployments; 2. Number of arrests that resulted from OPSG contacts; 3. Value of drug seizures that resulted from OPSG contacts.

Active 97.067 Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland Security A - Formula Grants Fiscal Year 2016 In Fiscal year 2016, DHS provides $1,037,000,000 to enhance the ability of states and territories to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from potential terrorist acts and other hazards. In Fiscal year 2016, DHS provides $1,037,000,000 to enhance the ability of states and territories to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from potential terrorist acts and other hazards.

Fiscal Year 2022 Funds were appropriated and allocated to this program, and will be awarded for projects that help states, urban areas, tribes, and localities near the border prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism.
Fiscal Year 2023 Funds were appropriated and allocated to this program, and will be awarded for projects that help states, urban areas, tribes, and localities near the border prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. Public Law -
Section 2002 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. No. 107-296, as amended) (6 U.S.C. § 603) State (includes District of Columbia, public institutions of higher education and hospitals), Local (includes State-designated lndian Tribes, excludes institutions of higher education and hospitals, U.S. Territories and possessions (includes institutions of higher education and hospitals) The SAA is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA, including those applications submitted on behalf of UASI and OPSG applicants. All 56 states and territories, including any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, are eligible to apply for SHSP funds. Tribal governments may not apply directly for HSGP funding; however, funding may be available to tribes under the SHSP and OPSG through the SAA. Eligible high-risk urban areas for the FY 2022 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States. Subawards will be made by the SAAs to the designated high-risk urban areas. Eligible subrecipients under FY 2022 OPSG are local units of government at the county level or equivalent level of government and federally-recognized tribal governments in states on or near the border with Canada or Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. All applicants must have active ongoing USBP operations coordinated through a CBP sector office to be eligible for OPSG funding. Under FY 2022 OPSG, subrecipients eligible to apply for and receive a subaward directly from the SAAs are divided into three Tiers. Tier 1 entities are local units of government at the county level or equivalent and federally recognized tribal governments that are on a physical border in states bordering Canada or Mexico, and states and territories with international water borders. Tier 2 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 1 eligible subrecipient. Tier 3 eligible subrecipients are those not located on the physical border or international water but are contiguous to a Tier 2 eligible subrecipient. Tier 2 and Tier 3 eligible subrecipients may be eligible to receive funding based on border security risk as determined by the USBP. Tribes that meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity are eligible to apply under THSGP. U.S. Territories, State, Local, Tribal As part of the FY 2023 HSGP application process for SHSP and UASI funds, applicants must develop formal investment justifications (IJs) that address the proposed investments. Each IJ must demonstrate how proposed investments: o Support terrorism preparedness; o Support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in their Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)/Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) process and national priorities as outlined in the National Preparedness Report; and o Engage and/or impact the whole community, including children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with limited English proficiency, individuals with disabilities and others with access and functional needs, and ensure the protection of civil rights in the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities. Applicants must propose at least 5, and may include up to 12 investments. Within each investment in their IJ, applicants must propose at least one project to describe the activities they plan to implement with HSGP funds. There is no limit to the number of projects that may be submitted. Any projects funded with HSGP funds that are not included in the application must subsequently be included in the first Biannual Strategy Implementation Report (BSIR). Of the proposed HSGP-funded investments, at least one (1) investment under each SHSP and UASI must address each of the five required National Priority Areas with a minimum spend requirement. , A minimum of 30% of the state/urban area's total award must be dedicated across the six National Priority Areas. All emergency communications investments must describe how such activities align with their Statewide Communication Interoperable Plan (SCIP) and recipients must coordinate with their Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC) and/or Statewide Interoperability Governance Body (SIGB) when developing an emergency communications investment prior to submission to ensure the project supports the statewide strategy to improve emergency communications and is compatible and interoperable with surrounding systems. As part of the FY 2023 OPSG application process, each eligible local unit of government at the county or Federally-recognized tribal government level must develop a strategic plan called a Concept of Operations (CONOP)/Application, which is a formal proposal of action to address a specific situation and forms the basis for Operations Orders, in coordination with state and Federal law enforcement agencies, to include, but not limited to CBP/USBP. CONOPs that are developed at the county level should be inclusive of city, county, tribal, and other local law enforcement agencies that are eligible to participate in OPSG operational activities, and the CONOP/Application should describe participating agencies in the Executive Summary. CONOP/Application details should include the names of the agencies, points of contact, and individual funding requests. All CONOPs/Applications must be developed in collaboration with the local USBP sector office, the State Administrative Agency (SAA) and the local unit of government. Requests for funding in CONOPs/Applications must be based on risks and the operational enforcement support requirements of its corresponding USBP Sector. Sector offices will forward the CONOPs to USBP Headquarters for vetting and coordination. Applicants will forward corresponding OPSG Applications to the SAA for submission to FEMA. USBP Headquarters will reconcile all submitted CONOPs with the OPSG Applications. For the FY 2023 THSGP, tribes must self-certify their eligibility based on the criteria outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity and submit Investment Justifications for each proposed project that outline the capability gap to address, expected outcomes, milestones, and how the proposed project will address the capability gap. 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles applies to this program. Preapplication coordination is required. An environmental impact statement is required for this listing. This program is eligible for coverage under E.O. 12372, "Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs." An applicant should consult the office or official designated as the single point of contact in his or her State for more information on the process the State requires to be followed in applying for assistance, if the State has selected the program for review. 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards applies to this program. All applications must be received by the established deadline. The Non-Disaster (ND) Grants System has a date stamp that indicates when an application is submitted. Applicants will receive an electronic message confirming receipt of the full application. In general, DHS/FEMA will not review applications that are not received by the deadline or consider them for funding. DHS/FEMA may, however, extend the application deadline on request for any applicant who can demonstrate that good cause exists to justify extending the deadline. Application forms and instructions are available at Grants.gov. To access the application package, select "Applicants" then "Apply for Grants" followed by "Get Application Package." Enter the Funding Opportunity Number located on the first page of this NOFO. Select "Apply" and then "Create Workspace." Follow the prompts to download the instructions and begin the application. SHSP Allocations: FY 2023 SHSP funds will be allocated based on two factors: minimum amounts as legislatively mandated, and DHS/FEMA's risk methodology. Each state and territory will receive a minimum allocation under the SHSP using thresholds established in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. All 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will receive 0.35 percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and Section 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Each of the four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will receive a minimum allocation of 0.08 percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. The remaining funds will be awarded based on risk. UASI Allocations: FY 2023UASI funds will be allocated based on DHS/FEMA's risk methodology. Eligible candidates for the FY 2023 UASI program have been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous MSAs in the United States, in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is publicly available from the United States Census Bureau at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro.html. OPSG Allocations: The FY 2023 OPSG Risk Assessment is designed to identify the risk to border security and to assist with the distribution of funds for the grant program. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border. All successful applicants for all DHS grant and cooperative agreements are required to comply with DHS Standard Administrative Terms and Conditions. The date the approval of award is entered in the system is the "award date." Notification of award approval is made through the Non-Disaster (ND) Grants system through an automatic e-mail to the recipient point of contact listed in the initial February 14, 2020 to April 30, 2020 Application Start Date: 02/14/2020 Application Submission Deadline Date: 04/30/2020 at 5:00 PM EDT Funding Selection Announcement Date: 06/30/2020 Anticipated Award Date: 09/30/2020 Contact the headquarters or regional location, as appropriate for application deadlines The Funding Selection Announcement Date is 07/21/2023. FY 2023 SHSP and UASI are non-competitive programs. Funds for FY 2023 OPSG and THSGP will be allocated competitively. Not applicable. Not applicable. FEMA will evaluate the FY 2023HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA's review will include verification that each IJ or project: o Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal; o Demonstrates how investments support closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and o Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. SHSP and UASI applicants must also submit at least one investment for each of the required National Priority Areas with a minimum spend requirement, and a minimum of 30% of the state/urban area's total award must be dedicated across the six National Priority Areas. In addition to the above, FEMA will evaluate whether proposed projects are: 1) both feasible and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully completed within the three-year POP. FEMA will use the information provided in the application and after the submission of the first BSIR to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a grant project. Funding under OPSG is distributed based on the risk to the security of the border. For the purposes of OPSG, risk is defined as the potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with an incident, event, or occurrence. Based upon ongoing intelligence analysis and extensive security reviews, DHS/CBP continues to focus the bulk of OPSG funds based upon risk analyses. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimate the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating risk, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas. Threat and vulnerability are evaluated based on specific operational data from DHS/CBP. Threat components present in each of the sectors are used to determine the overall threat score. These components are terrorism, criminal aliens, drug trafficking organizations, and alien smuggling organizations. THSGP applications will be reviewed to ensure that the applicant meets all eligibility requirements, and that the application is complete. Eligible and complete applications are then reviewed based on the elements of the Investment Justification: Overview, Baseline, Project Management and Milestones, and Accomplishments and Impacts. FEMA headquarters Grants Management Specialists then conduct a financial review of the top scoring investments on allowability, a DHS/FEMA grant funds may only be used for the purpose set forth in the NOFO and must be consistent with the statutory authority for the award. Grant funds must be used in accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200. Grant funds may not be used for matching funds for other Federal grants/cooperative agreements, lobbying, or intervention in Federal regulatory or adjudicatory proceedings. In addition, Federal funds may not be used to sue the Federal government or any other government entity. Pre-award costs are allowable only with the written consent of DHS and if they are included in the award agreement. For additional information on allowable activities, please refer to http://www.fema.gov/grants. Federal employees are prohibited from serving in any capacity (paid or unpaid) on any proposal submitted under this program. Federal employees may not receive funds under this award. There may be limitations on the use of HSGP funds for the following categories of costs: • Management and Administration • Planning • Organization • Equipment • Training • Exercises • Maintenance and Sustainment • Critical Emergency Supplies • Construction and Renovation. For additional details on restrictions on the use of funds, please refer to the FY 2023 HSGP NOFO. Funds Transfer Restriction: The recipient is prohibited from transferring funds between programs (includes SHSP, UASI, and OPSG). Recipients are allowed to submit an investment/project where funds come from multiple funding sources (i.e., SHSP/UASI); however, recipients are not allowed to divert funding from one program to another due to the risk-based funding allocations, which were made at the discretion of the DHS Secretary. Awards made to the SAA for HSGP carry additional pass-through requirements. Pass through is defined as an obligation on the part of the SAA to make funds available to local units of government, combinations of local units, tribal governments, or other specific groups or organizations. The SAA must obligate at least 80% of the funds awarded under SHSP and UASI to local or Tribal units of government within 45 days of receipt of the funds. “Receipt of the funds” occurs either when the SAA accepts the award or 15 calendar days after the SAA receives notice of the award, whichever is earlier. Four requirements must be met to pass through grant funds: • There must be some action to establish a firm commitment on the part of the SAA; • The action must be unconditional on the part of the awarding entity (i.e., no contingencies for availability of SAA funds); • There must be documentary evidence (i.e., award document, terms and conditions) of the commitment; and • The award terms must be communicated to the official recipient. The signatory authority of the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass-through requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or equivalent) to distribute funds is not considered sufficient. The pass-through requirement does not apply to SHSP awards made to the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Under SHSP, the SAA may retain more than 20 percent of funding for expenditures made by the state on behalf of the local unit(s) of government. This may occur only with the written consent of the local unit of government, specifying the amount of funds to be retained and the intended use of funds. States shall review their written consent agreements yearly and ensure that they are still valid. If a written consent agreement is already in place from previous fiscal years, DHS/FEMA will continue to recognize it for FY 2023, unless the written consent review indicates the local government is no longer in agreement. If modifications to the existing agreement are necessary, the SAA should contact their assigned FEMA HQ Program Analyst. OPSG: The recipient is prohibited from obligating or expending funds provided through this award until each unique and specific county-level or equ Performance Reports: Grant recipients will be monitored periodically by FEMA staff, both programmatically and financially, to ensure that the project goals, objectives, performance requirements, timelines, milestone completion, budgets, and other related program criteria are being met. Monitoring may be accomplished through either a desk-based review or on-site monitoring visits, or both. Monitoring will involve the review and analysis of the financial, programmatic, performance, compliance and administrative processes, policies, activities, and other attributes of each Federal assistance award and will identify areas where technical assistance, corrective actions and other support may be needed. In accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements, nonfederal entities that expend financial assistance of $750,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Non-Federal entities that expend less than $750,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR 200.503 FEMA grant recipients are subject to audit oversight from multiple entities including the DHS OIG, the GAO, the pass-through entity, or independent auditing firms for single audits, and may cover activities and costs incurred under the award. Auditing agencies such as the DHS OIG, the GAO, and the pass-through entity, if applicable, and FEMA in its oversight capacity, must have access to records pertaining to the FEMA award. Recipients and subrecipients must retain award documents for at least three years from the date the final FFR is submitted, and longer in some cases, subject to the requirements of 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. In the case of administrative closeout, documents must be retained for at least three years from the date of closeout, or longer, subject to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. If documents are retained longer than the required retention period, the DHS OIG, GAO, and pass-through entity, as well as FEMA in its oversight capacity, have the right to access these records as well. See 2 C.F.R. ?? 200.334, 200.337. Additionally, non-federal entities must comply with the single audit requirements at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F. Specifically, non-federal entities, other than for-profit subrecipients, that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards during their fiscal year must have a single or program-specific audit conducted for that year in accordance with Subpart F. 2 C.F.R. ? 200.501. A single audit covers all federal funds expended during a fiscal year, not just FEMA funds. The cost of audit services may be allowable per 2 C.F.R. ? 200.425, but non-federal entities must select auditors in accordance with 2 C.F.R. ? 200.509, including following the proper procurement procedures. The objectives of single audits are to: o Determine if financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); o Determine whether the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented fairly; o Understand, assess, and test the adequacy of internal controls for compliance with major programs; and o Determine if the entity complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contracts or grants. For single audits, the auditee is required to prepare financial statements reflecting its financial position, a schedule of federal award expenditures, and a summary of the status of prior audit findings and questioned costs. The auditee also is required to follow up and take appropriate corrective actions on new and previously issued but not yet addressed audit findings. The auditee must prepare a corrective action plan to address the new audit findings. 2 C.F.R. ?? 200.508, 200.510, 200.511. Non-federal entities must have an audit conducted, either single or program-specific, of their financial statements and federal expenditures annually or biennially pursuant to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.504. Non-federal entities must also follow the information submission requirements of 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512, including submitting the audit information to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. The audit information to be submitted include the data collection form described at 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512(c) and Appendix X to 2 C.F.R. Part 200 as well as the reporting package described at 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512(b). The non-federal entity must retain one copy of the data collection form and one copy of the reporting package for three years from the date of submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. 2 C.F.R. ? 200.512; see also 2 C.F.R. ? 200.517 (setting requirements for retention of documents by the auditor and access to audit records in the auditor's possession). FEMA, the DHS OIG, the GAO, and the pass-through entity, if applicable, as part of monitoring or as part of an audit, may review a non-federal entity's compliance with the single audit requirements. In cases of continued inability or unwillingness to have an audit conducted in compliance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F, FEMA and the pass-through entity, if applicable, are required to take appropriate remedial action under 2 C.F.R. ? 200.339 for noncompliance, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. ? 200.505. Financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other non-federal entity records pertinent to a federal award generally must be maintained for at least three years from the date the final FFR is submitted. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334. Further, if the recipient does not submit a final FFR and the award is administratively closed, FEMA uses the date of administrative closeout as the start of the general record retention period. The record retention period may be longer than three years or have a different start date in certain cases. These include: o Records for real property and equipment acquired with federal funds must be retained for three years after final disposition of the property. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(c). o If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the three-year period, the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved and final action taken. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(a). o The record retention period will be extended if the recipient is notified in writing of the extension by FEMA, the cognizant or oversight agency for audit, or the cognizant agency for indirect costs. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(b). o Where FEMA requires recipients to report program income after the period of performance ends, the program income record retention period begins at the end of the recipient's fiscal year in which program income is earned. See 2 C.F.R ? 200.334(e). o For indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocation plans, or other rate computations records, the start of the record retention period depends on whether the indirect cost rate documents were submitted for negotiation. If the indirect cost rate documents were submitted for negotiation, the record retention period begins from the date those documents were submitted for negotiation. If indirect cost rate documents were not submitted for negotiation, the record retention period begins at the end of the recipient's fiscal year or other accounting period covered by that indirect cost rate. See 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334(f). Statutory formula is not applicable to this assistance listing.

Matching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing.
