The award is classified as a formula grant. Place of performance is Columbia, South Carolina. SLED, a state law enforcement agency, receives the funds to support South Carolina's efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare for threats and hazards posing the greatest risk to U.S. security. The Homeland Security Grant Program funds state, local, tribal, and territorial government efforts to achieve core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, mitigating, and responding to acts of terrorism. SLED serves as both a prime recipient and frequently administers sub-awards to other state agencies and local law enforcement entities to deliver homeland security and emergency management capabilities statewide.
