Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2015 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA preparedness grant opportunity designed to strengthen the nations ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from terrorism and other catastrophic events. It is structured as a single, interconnected program made up of three components that work together: the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). Across all three components, the common theme is risk driven, capabilities based investment, meaning applicants are expected to align projects to validated capability targets identified through Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs) and reviewed through the State Preparedness Report (SPR). The funding is meant to translate those assessments into real improvements in planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises.
SHSP focuses on statewide preparedness and supports states in carrying out a State Homeland Security Strategy that is grounded in risk and capability needs. The program emphasizes using THIRA results to identify capability targets and then using SPR assessments to measure gaps and progress. In practical terms, SHSP funds are intended to help states and their partners build and sustain core capabilities by paying for activities such as updating plans, strengthening coordination structures, purchasing allowable preparedness equipment, delivering training to personnel, and conducting exercises that test readiness for terrorism-related incidents as well as other large-scale, high consequence events.
UASI is aimed at high threat, high density urban areas that have distinct risk profiles and complex operational demands. Like SHSP, UASI is tied to capability targets from THIRAs and related assessment efforts, but it is tailored to the planning and operational realities of major metropolitan regions. The goal is to build enhanced and sustainable capacity in urban areas, supporting investments that improve coordination across jurisdictions and disciplines, enhance operational readiness, and address gaps in capabilities needed to prevent attacks, protect people and critical infrastructure, respond effectively if an incident occurs, and support recovery afterward. UASI typically supports the kinds of regional, multiagency activities that are difficult to achieve through individual local budgets, especially where threats and consequences are concentrated.
OPSG is the law enforcement focused component that supports border security operations and partnerships. Its purpose is to enhance cooperation and coordination among local, tribal, territorial, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in a joint mission to secure United States borders. The program specifically covers routes of ingress from international borders, including travel corridors in states bordering Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders. OPSG funding is oriented toward operational coordination and joint activities that strengthen border related situational awareness and enforcement capacity, recognizing that effective border security often depends on consistent collaboration across levels of government and across neighboring jurisdictions.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted April 2, 2015, with an application deadline of May 19, 2015, and an archive date of June 19, 2015. It is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 15 GPD 067 000 01) under CFDA 97.067, titled Homeland Security Grant Program, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,044,000,000. The eligible applicants are state governments, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The awarding agency is DHS FEMA. For access issues related to the full announcement, FEMA lists the GPD Systems Branch as a point of contact at (800) 865 4076 and via email at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and the opportunity directs applicants to Grants.gov for the complete announcement materials and application instructions.
