Congress appropriated $468 million for the SHSGP program in FY 2025. It also appropriated $553.5 million for the UASI program. President Trump signed the continuing resolution to fund the government on March 15. However, as the end of the fiscal year in September approaches, DHS has yet to start the application period for these grant programs. Meanwhile, the U.S. faces an increased threat from both domestic and foreign terrorist groups.

These funds must be awarded before October 1, 2025.

The IAFC started a Voter Voice campaign for our members to ask their Members of Congress to contact DHS Secretary Noem and ask her to begin the application period for the SHSGP and UASI programs.
