Homeland security grant program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters awarded $4.712 million to the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency on October 1, 2025, under the Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067).

ALEA, a child entity of the Alabama Department of Public Health, receives formula grant funding under HSGP to support state efforts to prevent terrorism and prepare for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the United States. The grant funds ALEA's contributions to core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, mitigating, and responding to acts of terrorism.

The award carries a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Montgomery, Alabama. The obligated amount is $4.712 million. The Homeland Security Grant Program allocates funds to eligible state, local, tribal, and territorial entities based on legislatively mandated minimum amounts and DHS/FEMA risk methodology, with all 50 states and territories receiving baseline allocations supplemented by risk-based distributions.
