Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen national preparedness by helping states and major urban areas build and sustain capabilities to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from terrorism and other catastrophic incidents. The program is organized as a single umbrella grant that ties together multiple preparedness priorities, with funding aimed at practical capability-building across planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises.
FY 2012 HSGP is made up of three interconnected grant components. The first is the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), which supports states in implementing their State Homeland Security Strategies. SHSP focuses on core readiness needs such as developing and updating plans, improving coordination and governance structures, purchasing and maintaining eligible equipment, delivering training to personnel, and conducting exercises that test and improve real-world performance. The goal is to ensure states can build measurable, sustainable capabilities that apply both to terrorism threats and to other large-scale emergencies.
The second component is the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), which is tailored to high-threat, high-density urban areas. UASI recognizes that major metropolitan regions often face unique risk profiles and operational complexities, so it supports targeted investments that enhance an urban area’s capacity to deter and disrupt threats, protect critical assets and populations, and manage incident response and recovery. Like SHSP, UASI funding can be used across planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs, but it is specifically intended to help urban areas develop and maintain a higher level of preparedness consistent with elevated risk.
The third component is Operation Stonegarden (OPSG), which supports law enforcement-focused readiness for border and border-adjacent security. OPSG emphasizes improved cooperation and coordination among local, tribal, territorial, state, and federal law enforcement partners as they work together to secure U.S. borders and routes of ingress. This includes not only land borders with Mexico and Canada, but also states and territories with international water borders, and it can encompass travel corridors and related enforcement operations that support border security missions.
A notable feature of the FY 2012 HSGP is that several legacy grant program activities remain allowable even though those programs are no longer funded as separate standalone grants. Specifically, FEMA indicates that allowable and encouraged activities and costs from the FY 2010 Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) and Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program (IECGP), as well as the FY 2011 Citizen Corps Program (CCP), Drivers License Security Grant Program (DLSGP), and Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), can be supported under FY 2012 HSGP. In practice, this means applicants can continue investing in areas such as protective measures around critical infrastructure, interoperable communications, community preparedness and volunteer engagement, security enhancements related to identity and licensing systems, and medical/metro response coordination concepts associated with MMRS, provided those activities fit within HSGP guidance. FEMA referenced additional detail on allowable activities through its non-disaster grant resources page.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number is DHS 12 GPD 067 000 02, and the CFDA number is 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). The estimated total funding amount listed for this opportunity is $830,976,000, with an expected 56 awards. The opportunity is structured as a grant (not a cooperative agreement), and it does not include a cost-sharing or matching requirement according to the listing. Award ceiling and floor are shown as $0 in the source data, which typically indicates that the specific award sizes vary by program guidance and allocation methodology rather than being expressed as a single standardized minimum or maximum in the summary record.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the fact that HSGP is largely administered through states, which then manage implementation and, where applicable, distribution and coordination with local and regional partners consistent with program rules. The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2012, created on February 22, 2012, and had an original closing date of May 5, 2012, later reflected as May 4, 2012, with an archive date of June 3, 2012. The sponsoring agency is DHS/FEMA, and the main public entry point is Grants.gov. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was the FEMA GMD Systems Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
