About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is soliciting applications for the Fiscal Year 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) with an application deadline of July 24, 2026. Only State Administrative Agencies (SAAs) are eligible to apply directly, serving as pass-through entities to distribute funds to subrecipients; direct applications from state, local, tribal, and territorial governments are not permitted. FEMA will distribute $1.064 billion across three components: State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSP) at $394.25 million, Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) at $584.25 million, and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) at $85.5 million.
SHSP allocations provide each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico a minimum of 0.35 percent of total funds, with American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands receiving a minimum of 0.08 percent each, with remaining funds distributed based on DHS/FEMA risk methodology. UASI funding is allocated to the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas according to relative terrorism risk. OPSG funding is distributed based on border security risk assessment. Period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, as a single 36-month budget period. Applicants must allocate at least 35 percent of combined SHSP and UASI funds to Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities and at least 30 percent to five National Priority Areas: protecting soft targets and crowded places; supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and fusion centers; enhancing cybersecurity; enhancing election security (minimum 3 percent); and supporting border crisis response and enforcement (minimum 10 percent). Recipients may use up to 5 percent of awarded funds for management and administration, with personnel costs capped at 50 percent maximum unless waiver approved. Applications are evaluated for alignment with core capabilities, demonstration of capability gap closure through THIRA/SPR processes, and support for NIMS-typed deployable resources. CFDA number is 97.067.
Synopsis
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) strengthens the nation's capacity to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events through the following three components: the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSP), the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden (OPSG). SHSP supports the implementation of risk-driven, capabilities-based State Homeland Security Strategies to address capability targets. UASI focuses on high-risk Urban Area efforts to address their unique security needs. OPSG enhances cooperation and coordination among state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal law enforcement agencies to jointly enhance security along the United States land and water borders.
