Congregation Ohev Shalom

Congregation Ohev Shalom is a non-profit religious organization located in Dallas, Texas, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since August 2016, with registration valid through November 2025. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, the congregation has been the recipient of federal grant sub-awards specifically focused on enhancing the security of its religious facility. While detailed information about the congregation's primary religious services is not provided in the available documentation, the organization has been recognized by the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA as being at high risk of potential terrorist attacks.

The congregation has received multiple federal grant sub-awards from the Governor's Office of Texas, all centered on security enhancement and target hardening projects. These grants, awarded in October 2021, December 2022, and January 2025, have funded comprehensive security infrastructure improvements including the purchase and installation of impact-resistant window film, alarm systems, access controls, security gates, enhanced lighting, security cameras, and emergency response planning. Each grant cycle has progressively expanded the organization's physical security capabilities, with the most recent January 2025 award providing a holistic approach to campus security that addresses multiple potential vulnerability points. The federal funding appears to be channeled through homeland security and emergency management grant programs designed to protect high-risk nonprofit organizations from potential terrorist threats, with the Texas Governor's Office serving as the prime grantee facilitating these security enhancement initiatives.
