Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to help federally recognized Tribal governments strengthen homeland security and overall emergency preparedness. The program is framed as one part of a broader set of congressionally authorized national initiatives aimed at reducing risks associated with potential terrorist attacks, while also improving a Tribe's ability to prepare for and respond to a wide range of emergency situations. In practice, THSGP funding is meant to help Tribes build and maintain practical capabilities that can be used before, during, and after incidents, rather than focusing only on planning documents or one-time purchases.
A central purpose of the FY 2013 THSGP is to support implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) by helping recipients build, sustain, and deliver "core capabilities" needed to achieve the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which emphasizes a secure and resilient Nation. The opportunity highlights a "whole community" approach, meaning these capabilities are not viewed as the responsibility of a single agency or level of government. Instead, preparedness is treated as a combined effort that may involve Tribal departments, neighboring jurisdictions, nongovernmental partners, and the community at large. The grant is designed to help Tribes contribute to and benefit from that broader preparedness system by improving readiness and operational capacity in ways that align with national preparedness doctrine.
The program explicitly supports capabilities across all five mission areas of preparedness: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. While the specific activities funded depend on allowable costs described in the full announcement, the intent is to enable Tribes to invest in measures that deter or prevent threats, protect people and critical assets, reduce the impact of hazards, respond effectively when incidents occur, and recover in a way that restores essential functions and strengthens future resilience. This all-mission approach signals that the grant is not limited to a narrow slice of homeland security activity, but instead can be used to address a range of preparedness gaps so long as costs are allowable under FEMA guidance.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS 13 GPD 067 000 02 and the CFDA listing 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program). FEMA anticipated making about 50 awards under this notice. The opportunity was posted May 21, 2013, with a closing date that was updated to June 24, 2013 (originally June 30, 2013), and it was archived July 24, 2013. The listing shows award floor and ceiling values as 0, which typically indicates that applicants needed to refer to the full solicitation materials for specific funding amounts, project limits, or other award-structuring details rather than relying on summary fields alone. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for Tribal applicants and allows projects to be developed without needing non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility is limited to Native American Tribal governments that are federally recognized. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is described as homeland security preparedness. Applicants and interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for official materials, instructions, and application submission. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a point of contact through its Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
