The Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (THSGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System by supporting the building, sustaining and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. This document outlines key changes for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 THSGP.
National Priority Areas
The updated National Priority Areas (NPAs) for the FY 2025 THSGP are:
- Enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places
- Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and Fusion Centers
- Enhancing and integrating cybersecurity resiliency
- Enhancing election security
- Supporting border crisis response and enforcement
Consistent with THSGP guidance from prior years, investments that sufficiently address one or more of the NPAs will have their final review scores increased by 20%.
Cost Information Moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual
The majority of information on funding restrictions and allowable costs has moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Please refer to Appendix A of the FY 2025 THSGP NOFO for detailed information on these cost categories.
Payment Review Process
FEMA reviews all grant payments and obligations to ensure allowability in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. These measures ensure funds are disbursed appropriately while continuing to support and prioritize communities that rely on FEMA for assistance. Once a recipient submits a payment request, FEMA will review the request. If FEMA approves a payment, recipients will be notified by FEMA GO and the payment will be delivered pursuant to the recipients SAM.gov financial information. If FEMA disapproves a payment, FEMA will inform the recipient.
Please see the NOFO and Preparedness Grants Manual for more information.
