The 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.

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.
