Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is a FEMA-administered, Department of Homeland Security grant opportunity designed to strengthen national preparedness by helping states build, sustain, and deliver key capabilities needed to keep the country secure and resilient. The program is framed around the National Preparedness System (NPS) and is meant to advance the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). A central theme of the FY 2013 HSGP is that preparedness is a "whole community" responsibility, meaning these capabilities are not owned by one agency or one level of government. Instead, they depend on coordinated work across state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal partners, as well as other community stakeholders where applicable.

HSGP funding supports activities aligned to the five mission areas used in national preparedness doctrine: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund allowable costs that directly improve readiness for terrorism and other catastrophic incidents, including the planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise elements that make preparedness measurable and sustainable over time. The structure of the program reflects the idea that preparedness requires both statewide capacity and focused investments in places with higher risk profiles, along with targeted support for border-related operational coordination.

The FY 2013 HSGP is made up of three interconnected programs. First, the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) supports states in carrying out their Homeland Security Strategies by funding needs such as planning, organization, equipment purchases, training, and exercises. The intent is to help states prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from terrorism and other major events. SHSP also supports implementation of initiatives identified through the State Preparedness Report, tying investments to documented capability gaps and readiness priorities. Second, the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) focuses on high-threat, high-density urban areas with unique risk and complexity. UASI is designed to build and maintain enhanced, sustainable capabilities in those metropolitan regions, again emphasizing planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises aimed at improving the ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. Third, the Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) program is oriented toward border security operations and coordination. OPSG funds are intended to enhance cooperation among local, tribal, territorial, state, and federal law enforcement agencies working jointly to secure U.S. borders and routes of ingress from international borders. This includes land-border states along Mexico and Canada as well as states and territories with international water borders, with an emphasis on travel corridors and operational collaboration rather than standalone efforts.

From an administrative standpoint, this funding opportunity is identified as DHS 13 GPD 067 000 01 and categorized as discretionary assistance provided through grants. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). The estimated total available funding is $968,389,689, with an expected 56 awards, and eligibility is limited to state governments. The notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity was posted May 21, 2013 (created May 22, 2013). The original application closing date was June 30, 2013, later updated to June 24, 2013, and the opportunity archive date is July 24, 2013. Award floor and ceiling are listed as 0, which typically signals that award amounts vary based on program allocations and applicant-specific factors rather than fixed minimums or maximums stated in the synopsis.
