Homeland Security Grant Programs (HSGP) assist state, local, tribal and territorial governments efforts in preventing, protecting against, mitigating, and responding to acts of terrorism and other threats. HSGP provides grantees with the resources required for implementation of the National Preparedness System and working toward the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to help strengthen the Nation’s communities against potential terrorist attacks.

The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) supports state, tribal and local preparedness activities that address high-priority preparedness gaps across all core capabilities where a nexus to terrorism exists. All investments must be consistent with capability targets set during the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) process, and gaps identified in the Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR).

The SHSP is intended to support investments that improve the ability of jurisdictions to:

• Prevent a threatened or an actual act of terrorism;

• Protect its citizens, residents, visitors, and assets against the greatest threats and hazards;

• Mitigate the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of future catastrophic events;

• Respond quickly to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs in the aftermath of a catastrophic incidents.
