About this opportunity

The Fiscal Year 2024 Shelter and Services Program - Competitive (SSP-C) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that provides funding to non-federal entities, including county governments, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, city/township governments, tribal governments, and state governments. The primary purpose of the grant is to enable recipients to offset allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrants recently encountered and released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the goal of relieving overcrowding in short-term CBP holding facilities. Eligible activities include providing shelter, food, transportation, medical care, hygiene supplies, and facility renovations or modifications. Applications must be submitted through the FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system by June 17, 2024.

The SSP-C grant program has $340.9 million in total funding available, with individual awards ranging from $100,000 to over $20 million and performance periods of up to 36 months. Recipients can request up to 10% of the total funding available and must provide detailed reporting on the number of migrants served and services provided using the funds.

Synopsis

As directed by Congress, SSP makes federal funds available to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrants recently encountered and released by DHS. As stated in the FY 2024 appropriation, the primary purpose of SSP is to "reliev[e] overcrowding in short-term holding facilities of [CBP]." Recipients of SSP may also seek grant funds for renovations or costs associated with modifications to existing facilities in support of individuals who have recently been released from the custody of CBP. Refer to Appendix A of the NOFO for allowable activities.


The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has committed to bolstering the capacity of non-federal entities to receive noncitizens after they have been processed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and released from a DHS facility. DHS is committed to ensuring appropriate coordination with and support for state, local, and community leaders to help mitigate increased impacts to their communities as outlined in the DHS Plan for Southwest Border Security and Preparedness, issued on April 26, 2022, and updated on December 13, 2022.


Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/.
