Homeland Security Grant Program Overview 
One of the core missions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to enhance 
the ability of state, territory, local, and tribal governments to prevent, protect against, 
respond to and recover from terrorist attacks and other disasters. FEMA’s 
comprehensive suite of grant programs is an important part of the Administration’s 
larger, coordinated effort to strengthen homeland security preparedness. These 
programs implement objectives addressed in a series of post-9/11 laws, strategy 
documents, plans and Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs). 

The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is comprised of four interconnected 
grant programs: 

. 
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) 

. 
Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) 

. 
Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) 

. 
Citizen Corps Program (CCP) 

The HSGP is one tool among a comprehensive set of measures authorized by 
Congress and implemented by the Administration to help strengthen the Nation against 
risks associated with potential terrorist attacks.

State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) 

Total Funding Available in FY 2009: $861,137,000 

Purpose: This core assistance program provides funds to build capabilities at the state 
and local levels and to implement the goals and objectives included in state homeland 
security strategies and initiatives in the State Preparedness Report. 

Eligible Applicants: Eligible entities for SHSP were all 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Awards: Funds were allocated based on risk analysis and the anticipated effectiveness 
of proposed investments by the applicants. 

Program Awards and Funding Minimum: Each state received a minimum 
allocation under SHSP using the thresholds established in the Implementing 
Recommendations of the 9/11 Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-053) (9/11 Act). All 50 states, 

2 



the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico received 0.365 
percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Sections 2003 and 2004 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. §101 et seq.), as amended by the 9/11 
Act, for SHSP. Four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana 
Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) will receive a minimum allocation of 0.08 
percent of the total funds allocated for grants under Section 2004 of the Homeland 
Security Act of 2002, as amended by the 9/11 Act, for SHSP. 

Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Program 

Total Funding Available in FY 2009: $798,631,250 

Purpose: The UASI program focuses on enhancing regional preparedness in major 
metropolitan areas. The UASI program directly supports the National Priority on 
expanding regional collaboration in the National Preparedness Guidelines and is 
intended to assist participating jurisdictions in developing integrated regional systems 
for prevention, protection, response and recovery. 

Eligible Applicants: The 62 highest risk Urban Areas were eligible for funding under 
the FY 2009 UASI program. 

Program Awards: The seven highest risk urban areas, designated Tier 1 Urban Areas, 
were allocated approximately $439 million or 55 percent of available funds. The 
remaining Urban Areas, designated Tier 2 Urban Areas, were allocated approximately 
$359 million or 45 percent of available funds. Funds were allocated based on risk 
analysis and the anticipated effectiveness of proposed investments by the applicants. 

Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) Program 

Total Funding Available in FY 2009: $39,831,404 

Purpose: The MMRS program supports the integration of emergency management, 
health, and medical systems into a coordinated response to mass casualty incidents 
caused by any hazard. Successful MMRS grantees reduce the consequences of a 
mass casualty incident during the initial period of a response by having augmented 
existing local operational response systems before the incident occurs. 

Eligible Applicants: As with previous years, 124 cities were eligible for MMRS 
funding. 

Program Awards: Each of the 124 MMRS jurisdictions received $321,221 to establish 
or sustain local capabilities. 

Citizen Corps Program (CCP) 

Total Funding Available in FY 2009: $14,572,500 

3 



Purpose: The Citizen Corps mission is to bring community and government leaders 
together to coordinate community involvement in emergency preparedness, planning, 
mitigation, response and recovery. 

Eligible Applicants: CCP eligibility mirrors that of SHSP: all 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Program Awards and Funding Minimum: CCP allocations were determined using 
the USA PATRIOT Act formula, which specifies that all 50 states, the District of 
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico received a minimum of 0.75 percent 
of the total available grant funding, and that four territories (American Samoa, Guam, 
Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands) received a minimum of 0.25 
percent of the total available grant funding. The balance of CCP funds were distributed 
on a population-share basis. In addition to CCP allocations, states and urban areas are 
encouraged to fully leverage HSGP resources to accomplish the Citizen Corps mission. 

State Homeland Security Program Tribal Overview 
Total Funding Available in FY 2009: $1,788,000

section 2003 [UASI] or 2004 [SHSP] to the Indian tribe or consortium of 
Indian tribes for the purpose for which direct funding is sought; and 
(B) 
a consortium of Indian tribes, if each tribe satisfies the requirements of 
subparagraph (A).
