Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2009 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security, FEMA grant program designed to help states build and sustain national preparedness capabilities. It functions as one of the federal governments main funding vehicles for readiness and resilience work tied to homeland security, with an emphasis on improving the ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist threats and other major hazards. For FY 2009, HSGP is structured as a package of four connected programs that are meant to work together across statewide and urban-area preparedness priorities.
HSGP includes the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). Collectively, these programs support a broad set of activities that typically make up preparedness programs, such as planning and strategy development, building or strengthening organizational capacity, purchasing and deploying equipment, delivering training, conducting exercises, and covering limited management and administration needs tied to running the grant. The idea is to fund both the backbone work (planning, coordination, governance, training cycles) and the tangible capability improvements (equipment and operational enhancements), while encouraging alignment across state and high-risk urban jurisdictions.
A key FY 2009 requirement comes from the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) and the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009 (Public Law 110-329). Under these laws, states must ensure that at least 25 percent of SHSP funds and at least 25 percent of UASI funds are dedicated to law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. This sets a minimum investment threshold to ensure that terrorism prevention activities led by or strongly involving law enforcement are not underfunded within broader preparedness portfolios.
Eligibility is limited to state-level applicants. The Governor of each state and territory must designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for and administer HSGP funds, and the SAA is the only entity eligible to submit an application to FEMA for this program. Local governments and other partners typically participate through the states administration and pass-through processes rather than applying directly to FEMA under HSGP.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. It has no cost sharing or matching requirement. The total estimated funding amount is $1,714,300,154, and the program anticipated 56 awards. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). The funding opportunity number is DHS-09-GPD-067-1958. It was posted on November 5, 2008, with a closing date of March 20, 2009 (archived April 19, 2009). Applicants were directed to follow the detailed submission and attachment instructions in the FY 2009 Homeland Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit.
The application package requires standard federal grant forms and key program-specific documentation. Required items include an Investment Justification (IJ) report generated from the Grants Reporting Tool, and for grantees with UASI urban areas, an overview of the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG) structure along with a list of members and their jurisdictions. Standard forms include SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance), SF-424A (Budget Information), SF-424B (Assurances), and SF-LLL (Disclosure of Lobbying Activities). Construction-related forms are included if applicable: SF-424C (Budget Information - Construction) and SF-424D (Assurances - Construction Programs). The notice also emphasizes that some required forms may appear under either mandatory or optional headings within the application package, so applicants are expected to rely on the official grant guidance for the authoritative list and proper placement of attachments.
