Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA preparedness grant opportunity designed to help states and major urban areas strengthen core homeland security capabilities. It was structured as a set of three interconnected programs that collectively supported a risk-driven, capabilities-based approach to preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from terrorism and other catastrophic events. The program emphasized building and sustaining measurable capabilities using a common planning and assessment cycle, with investment priorities informed by each jurisdiction's Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and evaluated through the State Preparedness Report (SPR). In practice, the funding was meant to translate assessed risks and capability gaps into concrete improvements in planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises.
The first component, the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), focused on supporting statewide homeland security strategies that are explicitly tied to risk and capability targets identified through the THIRA process. Under SHSP, states were expected to use their THIRA results to set capability targets, measure progress through the SPR, and then direct grant-supported activities toward closing gaps and sustaining performance. The intent was to ensure that state investments were not ad hoc, but instead aligned to a documented assessment of threats and hazards and to specific capability outcomes, covering the full mission set from prevention and protection to response and recovery.
The second component, the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), targeted high-threat, high-density urban areas with a similar capabilities-based framework, but tailored to the distinct needs and risk profiles of major metropolitan regions. UASI supported the planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise requirements that urban areas face when preparing for complex incidents, especially acts of terrorism. Like SHSP, UASI investments were expected to be driven by THIRA-identified capability targets and related assessment efforts, with the broader goal of building an enhanced and sustainable capacity in urban regions to deter and disrupt threats, protect people and critical infrastructure, and manage large-scale incident response and recovery.
The third component, Operation Stonegarden (OPSG), concentrated on border security and supported increased coordination among local, tribal, territorial, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. OPSG was aimed at strengthening joint operations to secure US borders and routes of ingress from international borders, including land borders with Mexico and Canada as well as international water borders and associated travel corridors. The core purpose was to enhance operational collaboration and improve the ability of participating jurisdictions to detect, interdict, and respond to cross-border criminal or terrorist activity through coordinated law enforcement missions.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted March 18, 2014, and closed May 23, 2014, with an archive date of June 20, 2014. It was a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 97.067 (Homeland Security Grant Program) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,043,346,000 and an expected 56 awards. Eligible applicants were state governments, reflecting the structure of HSGP where states typically serve as the primary applicants and then manage subawards or coordinated investments with local and regional partners as applicable (particularly relevant for UASI and OPSG activities). A cost sharing or matching requirement applied. The funding opportunity number was DHS 14 GPD 067 000 01, and additional details were available via Grants.gov, with FEMA's GMD Systems Branch listed as the contact for assistance accessing the full announcement (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov).
