SHSP Cybersecurity Grant Program (New York) The NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) is accepting applications to support the advancement of cyber security preparedness capabilities within New York State's local governments.
This program is made available through the federal State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) funding to enhance and sustain local cyber security posture as well as ensure that government information systems are secure and protected from cyber incidents.
</p><p>The primary objectives of this grant opportunity are as follows:</p><ul><li>To provide New York State local jurisdictions with the resources and equipment necessary to prevent disruption of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information systems.
</li><li>To assess cyber security risks, identify vulnerabilities and determine capability gaps with the focus of allocating resources to address the most critical needs. </li><li>To ensure that local jurisdictions are equipped with the knowledge and resources necessary for providing cyber security awareness training to their staff in support of good cyber hygiene at the user level.
</li><li>To develop actionable cyber security plans that focus on response and immediate remediation to a cyber incident.
</li><li>To encourage the participation in established cyber security support networks and utilization of the vast amount of resources available to local governments</li></ul><p>Recommended projects include:</p><ul><li><u>Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) </u>– Many incidents and compromises occur as a result of phishing, credential theft, and single factor authentication solutions (including email, remote access).
These risks can be mitigated by implementing multi-factor authentication. </li><li><u>Email Filtering</u> - One of the most common vectors for malware and social engineering is phishing. While not an Implementation Group 1 safeguard, we recognize that, when coupled with effective end user awareness training and other organizational controls, email filtering can provide effective protection for an entity and its mail system.
</li><li><u>End User Training</u> – Security training for staff can help prevent many cyber related incidents. With regular trainings, users can gain the knowledge and initiative to avoid compromise and report suspicious activity, thus thwarting attempted cyberattacks. There are many free training solutions that exist as outlined in this RFA.
If you are submitting for training, please explain why a free solution is not sufficient and the benefits of applying for/purchasing a paid solution. </li><li><u>Backup Solutions </u>– As seen in many headlines, ransomware continues to be a leading threat. Ensuring proper backup solutions are in place and tested can help with recovery in the case of a ransomware or other infection.
It is important to maintain offline, non-network addressable backups. Many entities have experienced infections that encrypted their entire network and backups.
</li></ul><p>This grant opportunity will ensure that critical homeland security funding addresses prioritized capability development goals and objectives, as recognized by State and local stakeholders in the New York State Homeland Security Strategy, specifically, Goal 4: Enhance Cyber Security Capabilities.
</p><p><br></p><p>Service contracts are an allowable cost so long as they are connected to enhancing your jurisdiction's cybersecurity capabilities. Please note that service contract end dates cannot surpass the period of performance for this grant (through August 31, 2026.)

FY2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program – Urban Area (NSGP-UA) is sponsored by NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). This New York State program supports nonprofit organizations located within the New York City urban area (including the five boroughs, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties) that are at high risk of terrorist attack. Funding can be used for target hardening and physical security enhancements.
Nonprofit Security Grant Program – Urban Area (NSGP-UA) and State (NSGP-S) (New York) is sponsored by NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES). This program provides funding for physical and cybersecurity enhancements and other security-related activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist or other extremist attack. It also seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.
FEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.
Read articleThe FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program puts more than $1 billion across three programs — State Homeland Security Program, Urban Area Security Initiative ($584M across 44 cities), and Operation Stonegarden — with a July 24, 2026 deadline. But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums. Here is how the spending mandates actually stack, who is eligible, and how to build an Investment Justification that survives them.
Read articleOn June 24, 2026, FEMA released more than $1.5 billion across the Homeland Security Grant Program, a $300 million Nonprofit Security Grant Program, and six infrastructure-protection programs — all with an application window closing around July 24. This is the definitive breakdown: how SHSP, UASI, Operation Stonegarden, and the transit, port, Amtrak, and intercity-bus grants differ, what the new FY2026 priorities signal, why almost none of the money comes to you directly from FEMA, and the strategy for competing through your State Administrative Agency.
