Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant opportunity designed to help states and territories build and sustain core national preparedness capabilities. It functions as one of the federal governments main funding channels for strengthening homeland security readiness, supporting activities that reduce risk, improve coordination, and enhance the ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other major incidents. The program is categorized as mandatory funding and is issued as a grant, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted for applicants.
HSGP is structured as a package of five interconnected grant programs that collectively support a broad range of preparedness investments. These components are the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), Operation Stonegarden (OPSG), the Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). In practical terms, this structure allows funding to target statewide capability gaps through SHSP, provide focused support for high-risk and high-density urban areas through UASI, strengthen coordination and security along borders and related jurisdictions through OPSG, bolster medical incident preparedness through MMRS, and promote community preparedness and volunteer engagement through CCP.
The funded activities under HSGP span the full preparedness lifecycle and include planning and strategy development, organization and staffing needs, equipment procurement, training programs, exercises, and program management and administration. This means award funds can support tangible operational improvements such as communications and protective equipment, as well as less visible but critical capability-building efforts like interoperable planning, multi-agency coordination, and exercise design and execution. The aim is not simply to purchase items, but to develop and maintain enduring capabilities that can be used across a range of threats and hazards.
A major statutory requirement attached to this opportunity is a directed investment in law enforcement terrorism prevention. Citing the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) and the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83), states must ensure that at least 25 percent of SHSP award funds and at least 25 percent of UASI award funds are dedicated specifically to law enforcement terrorism prevention activities. This set-aside is intended to ensure that prevention-oriented activities remain a priority within overall preparedness spending, rather than being overshadowed by other important but different capability areas.
Eligibility is limited to state and territorial governments through a single designated entity. Each governor is required to designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for and administer HSGP funding, and the SAA is the only entity eligible to submit an application to FEMA for these funds. Local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other entities generally participate through subawards and state-managed distribution processes rather than applying directly to FEMA under this announcement.
For FY 2011, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-GPD-067-000-02) listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,289,296,132 and anticipated 56 awards. The posting and creation date was May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. The program is associated with CFDA number 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). For applicants or administrators needing help accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a program guidance contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
