New York State Division Of Homeland Security & Emergency Services

The New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, a U.S. state government entity and division of the State of New York, acts as a prime recipient of federal disaster mitigation, emergency preparedness, and homeland security grants, distributing approximately $262.2 billion in combined federal dollars across 296 awards to county governments, municipalities, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and nonprofit organizations throughout New York State as a pass-through administrative entity.

The Division operates exclusively as a grant recipient (99% prime awards, 1% sub-awards) with no federal contracting footprint. Its federal funding profile is heavily concentrated within two FEMA lines of business: FEMA HQ Financial Assistance Awards (175 awards) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency proper (101 awards combined covering 276 of 296 total awards, or 93% of the portfolio). Three additional agencies — the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (15 awards), the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (2 awards), and the Department of Homeland Security (2 awards) — round out the six distinct customer agencies.

The Division administers federal grants across a broad range of disaster response, hazard mitigation, and security programs. Representative recent awards include a $13.55 million Safeguarding Tomorrow Revolving Loan Fund grant (CFDA 97.139) awarded August 6, 2026, to capitalize revolving loans for local government hazard mitigation; a $130.84 million Homeland Security Grant Program award (CFDA 97.067, October 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028) supporting terrorism prevention and preparedness across New York's 62 counties; a $12.7 million State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program award (CFDA 97.137, December 13, 2024, through December 12, 2028) for statewide cybersecurity enhancements; a $44.9 million Nonprofit Security Grant Program award (CFDA 97.008, September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2027) funding physical security improvements for over 100 at-risk nonprofit organizations; and a $6.24 million Safeguarding Tomorrow Revolving Loan Fund award (April 2, 2024) establishing low-interest loan capacity for local hazard mitigation. Additional programs include the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (CFDA 97.039), Flood Mitigation Assistance (CFDA 97.029), Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (CFDA 97.047), Emergency Management Performance Grants (CFDA 97.042), Assistance to Firefighters Grants (CFDA 97.044), Emergency Operations Center grants (CFDA 97.052), the Pipeline Emergency Response Grant program (CFDA 20.706), and the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness grant program (CFDA 20.703). The Division also received a $250,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families under the U.S. Repatriation Program (CFDA 93.579, March 6, 2026).

Activity trajectory shows a sustained decline from peak years. The Division received 33 awards in 2022, declining to 26 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 15 in 2025, with only 7 awards recorded through August 2026. Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months represent renewal or recompete opportunity. The Division's role across this entire portfolio is administrative pass-through: it receives federal grant capitalization and operational funding from FEMA and other federal agencies and distributes those resources as sub-awards to implementing local governments, emergency management districts, fire departments, law enforcement, and nonprofit organizations to execute mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery work. Sub-awards in the source data are limited to three administrative cost entries, reflecting that the Division's federal relationship is characterized as a state-level intermediary rather than as a direct service provider.
