Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) is a discretionary grant offered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to provide supplemental homeland security funding to certain federally recognized tribal governments. The overall aim is to strengthen the nation against risks tied to potential terrorist attacks by helping eligible tribes improve their ability to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorism-related threats and incidents. A key requirement rooted in the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) is that any directly eligible tribe applying under this program must designate a specific individual to serve as a tribal liaison. That liaison is intended to be the tribe's point person for coordination with DHS and with other federal, state, local, and regional government partners on terrorism prevention and preparedness activities.
Funding for the program in FY 2010 was estimated at $10,000,000 in total, and awards are issued as grants with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program) and is categorized under homeland security preparedness activities. The opportunity was posted on December 8, 2009, with an application closing date of April 19, 2010, and it was archived on May 19, 2010. Applicants were specifically instructed to closely follow the submission and formatting rules in the FY 2010 THSGP Guidance and Application Kit, which is typical for FEMA preparedness grants where eligibility, investment justifications, and documentation requirements can be strict.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, but not all tribes automatically qualify. To receive FY 2010 THSGP funds, an applicant must be considered a "directly eligible tribe" as defined by the 9/11 Act. In practical terms, a tribe must meet several baseline conditions and then satisfy at least one additional geographic or jurisdictional criterion. The baseline conditions include being located in the continental United States and operating a law enforcement or emergency response agency with the capacity to respond to calls for service. In addition, the tribe must certify to the Secretary of DHS that the state has not provided the tribe (or a consortium of tribes) funding under the Urban Area Security Initiative (section 2003) or the State Homeland Security Program (section 2004) for the same purpose for which the tribe is seeking direct funding. This certification requirement is meant to avoid duplication of funding and to justify why direct-to-tribe supplemental funds are needed.
Beyond those baseline requirements, the tribe must also meet at least one of the following location or jurisdiction factors described in the statute: being located on or near an international border or an ocean coastline (including the Gulf of Mexico) or international waters; being within 10 miles of a system or asset on the prioritized critical infrastructure list established under section 210E(a)(2), or having such a system or asset within its territory; being located within or contiguous to one of the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas in the United States; or having jurisdiction that includes at least 1,000 square miles of Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. The opportunity also allows a consortium of tribes to apply, but only if every tribe in that consortium independently satisfies the directly eligible tribe requirements.
For administrative details and help, FEMA provided multiple points of contact for applicants who encountered access or submission issues, including the Centralized Scheduling and Information Desk (CSID) Help Line at (800) 368-6498 and askcsid@dhs.gov, as well as FEMA call center support at (866) 927-5646 and ASK-GMD@dhs.gov. The formal opportunity identifier is DHS-10-GPD-067-000-02, and the official title is "Fiscal Year 2010 Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP)."
