About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administers the Driver's License Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.089), which funds state and territorial efforts to prevent terrorism, reduce fraud, and improve the reliability and accuracy of personal identification documents. The program has not disbursed grant awards since September 2011, making it inactive for pursuit.
FEMA issued 198 Project Grants totaling $158.2 million in federal obligations between 2005 and 2011. Award activity peaked from 2008 through 2011, when FEMA distributed 45 to 51 grants annually. The portfolio consists entirely of Project Grants. Recent awards ranged from approximately $355 thousand to $1.6 million, with individual grant values typically between $600 thousand and $1.1 million. Representative funded activities included state-level driver's license security initiatives awarded in FY 2011, such as Project Grant EMW2011DL00077 ($742,308), Project Grant EMW2011DL00055A ($1.1 million), and Project Grant EMW2011DL00021 ($1.6 million).
FEMA provided nearly all funding: 197 awards totaling $146.7 million came through the standard Federal Emergency Management Agency account, with one award of $11.6 million through FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards, accounting for 100 percent of federal dollars obligated.
No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no awards have been made since the final tranche in 2011. The program shows no active solicitation activity within the portfolio record.
