State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) is sponsored by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through State Administrative Agencies (SAA).
The SHSGP is a major component of the broader Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and is designed to assist states, tribes, local governments, law enforcement, regional groups, and some non-profits (like utilities and K-12 schools) to enhance their capacity to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to the threat of terrorist attacks and other significant hazards and disasters. This can include physical security upgrades.
Small businesses would typically be sub-recipients through a regional authority or government agency.
