Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas today announced the release of the funding notices for eight different types of preparedness grants.<\/h3>\n

Terror Attacks, Major Disasters Targeted in Funding<\/h4>\n

The grant programs provide funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments, as well as transportation authorities, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector, to improve the nation\u2019s readiness in preventing, protecting against, responding to, recovering from, and mitigating terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. The grants reflect the Department\u2019s focus on funding for programs that address our nation\u2019s immediate security needs and ensure public safety in our communities.<\/p>\n

The Fiscal Year 2021 grant guidance will continue to focus on the nation\u2019s highest-risk areas, including urban areas that face the most significant threats, and national priorities. This year, the Urban Area Security Initiative will enhance regional preparedness and capabilities by funding 31 high-threat, high-density urban areas. This represents Congressional intent to limit these funds to those urban areas that represent up to 85% of the nationwide risk.<\/p>\n

As the threats we face evolve, so too must the grant programs intended to prepare communities for those threats. To that end, DHS has identified five critical priority areas for attention in the FY 2021 grant cycle: cybersecurity, soft targets and crowded places, intelligence and information sharing, domestic violent extremism, and emerging threats. Grant recipients under the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) will be required to dedicate a minimum of 30% of awards to address these five priority areas: cybersecurity (7.5%, an increase of at least $25 million across the country); soft target and crowded places (5%); information and intelligence sharing (5%); domestic violent extremism (7.5%) and emerging threats (5%).<\/p>\n

As with previous years, new capabilities that are built using homeland security grant funding must be deployable if needed to support regional and national efforts.\u00a0All capabilities being built or sustained must have a clear linkage to the core capabilities articulated in the National Preparedness Goal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The previous Administration had proposed changes to the risk methodology and program framework. After careful review and consideration, the current Administration decided not to implement all proposed changes, including equal weighting for Threat, Vulnerability, and Consequence components in the risk methodology; and making the SHSP and UASI programs fully competitive.<\/p>\n

We also recognize that the terrorism national threat environment has changed considerably since these grants were first authorized in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. As such, the Department will engage in a coordinated, collaborative, and systematic process to review the risk methodology and program frameworks with our state, local, tribal and territorial partners.<\/p>\n

Allocations for Fiscal Year 2021<\/h3>\n

The following grants are non-competitive and awarded to recipients based on a number of factors:<\/p>\n
