Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, intended to provide supplemental funding to directly eligible federally recognized tribal governments. The core purpose of the program is to strengthen homeland security by helping eligible tribes prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorism-related risks. A key program expectation tied to the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) is that any directly eligible tribe applying for funding connected to the State Homeland Security Program authorities must designate a specific individual to serve as a tribal liaison. This liaison role is meant to ensure consistent coordination and communication between the tribe and DHS as well as other federal, state, local, regional, and neighboring partners on terrorism prevention and preparedness matters.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 067 000 01 and is associated with CFDA 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). It was posted on May 19, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011. The estimated total funding available under this program is $10,000,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and that meet the statutory definition of a "directly eligible tribe" under the 9/11 Act. In practical terms, an eligible tribe must be located in the continental United States and must operate a law enforcement or emergency response agency capable of responding to calls for law enforcement or emergency services. In addition, the tribe must certify to the Secretary of DHS that the state has not provided the tribe (or a consortium of tribes) with funding under either 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. Beyond these baseline requirements, the tribe must also meet at least one of several geographic or jurisdictional criteria intended to reflect elevated risk or strategic relevance. These criteria include 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 an asset within its territory; being within or contiguous to one of the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas in the United States; or having a jurisdiction that includes at least 1,000 square miles of Indian country as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Consortia of Indian tribes may also apply, but only if every member tribe independently satisfies the directly eligible tribe requirements.
From an activity standpoint, the program is categorized under homeland security preparedness, with the overall intent of improving capabilities and coordination that reduce vulnerability to terrorist threats and improve readiness and response. While the short description emphasizes terrorism-related risk, the operational framing is broader preparedness across prevention, protection, response, and intergovernmental coordination, consistent with DHS preparedness doctrine and the liaison requirement aimed at strengthening multi-jurisdictional partnerships.
