Homeland Security Enterprise Intelligence and Analysis Fusion Center Performance Program Homeland Security Grant Program Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (NPG) of a secure and resilient Nation.
Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government.
The HSGP’s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention , Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas, including the following priorities: Building and Sustaining Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Capabilities Maturation and Enhancement of State and Major Urban Area Fusion Center The FY 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) plays an important role in the implementation of the National Preparedness System (NPS) by supporting the building, sustainment, and delivery of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (NPG) of a secure and resilient Nation.
Delivering core capabilities requires the combined effort of the whole community, rather than the exclusive effort of any single organization or level of government.
The FY 2024 HSGP’s allowable costs support efforts to build and sustain core capabilities across the Prevention , Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas, including the following priorities: Building and Sustaining Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Capabilities Maturation and Enhancement of State and Major Urban Area Fusion Centers DHS preparedness grants continue to prioritize support for designated State and major Urban Area fusion centers and the maturation of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE).
Fusion centers, a critical component of our Nation’s distributed homeland security and counterterrorism architecture, provide grassroots intelligence and analytic capabilities within the state and local environment.
In support of this strategic vision and as a requirement of the HSGP, the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) requires designated State and major urban area fusion centers to participate in an annual assessment of their performance.
Furthermore, as a requirement of the HSGP, DHS requires that all fusion center related funding requests be consolidated into a single (1) Investment for States or Urban Areas in which designated fusion centers reside, and this investment must address funding support for the designated fusion center. The single investment provides state and urban areas a means to centrally manage and report on fusion center related activities.
Grantees must coordinate with the fusion center when developing a fusion center investment prior to submission. The fusion center must utilize its individual assessment data when developing the investment. Each proposed project included in the fusion center investment must align to, and reference, specific performance areas of the Assessment that the funding is intended to support.
Additionally, any jurisdiction or agency that leverages HSGP funds to support intelligence- or fusion process-related activities (e.g., intelligence unit, real time crime information and analysis centers) must ensure efforts are integrated and/or coordinated with the state or major urban area fusion center(s).
In order to effectively measure implementation of this priority, designated State and major urban area fusion centers leveraging HSGP and/or UASI grant funds will be evaluated based upon compliance with the following set of requirements. These requirements are tracked for all primary or recognized fusion centers through the Fusion Center Assessment.
