The FY 2006 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) integrates the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP), the Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). The FY 2006 HSGP Program builds upon the FY 2005 HSGP to streamline efforts for States and Urban Areas in obtaining resources that are critical to building and sustaining capabilities to achieve the interim National Preparedness Goal and implement State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies.
Several significant changes in the HSGP and its focus are being made for FY 2006. First, this marks the first grant cycle in which the Interim National Preparedness Goal is in place to outline National Priorities and focus expenditures on building capabilities. This common planning framework and the tools that support it allow the Nation to define target levels of performance and measure progress made toward achieving them. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is adopting in FY 2006 a risk- and need-based approach to allocating funding to the States for certain programs within HSGP. The aim is to allocate and apply these resources to generate the highest return on investment and, as a result, strengthen national preparedness in the most effective and efficient manner. In addition to integrating these new policy developments, the FY 2006 HSGP guidance:
- Highlights the Interim National Preparedness Goal and its applicability to the FY 2006 HSGP
- Highlights the Target Capabilities List and its applicability to the FY 2006 HSGP
- Presents overall FY 2006 HSGP policy and program requirements, including overall FY 2006 HSGP allowable costs
- Guides grantees in the application and award process for the FY 2006 HSGP
- Provides detail on the specific requirements associated with FY 2006 SHSP, UASI, LETPP, MMRS, and CCP
Eligible applicants include state, local, or tribal governments, cities, counties, sheriff’s offices, police departments, health departments, fire departments/EMS, regional HAZMAT teams, public works, and local emergency management.
