Major FY 2017 Highlights
The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2017 increased the funding carve
out for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program from $20 million to $25 million.
Due to the increase to NSGP funding, the funding minimums under the State Homeland
Security Program (SHSP) rose $17,500 for the 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico for a total of
$3,752,000 per state. Funding minimums for the other territories rose $3,600 for a total of
$857,600 per territory.
Thirty-three (33) high-risk urban areas will be funded under the Urban Area Security Initiative
jurisdictions for FY 2017 based on Congressional direction that DHS limit funding to jurisdictions
that comprise 85% of the total nationwide risk of terrorism. This is an increase from the 29 urban
areas funded in FY 2016.
To ensure that all FY 2017 awards under the Preparedness Grant Programs are processed by
September 30th, the timeline for announcing and awarding grants has been severely
compressed. This includes an application timeline shortened to 21 days, which received a
waiver from the FEMA Acting Administrator, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. 200.203 (b).
Operation Stonegarden recipients will be allowed to:
Use funding to train officers and reimburse overtime expenses associated with Section
287(g)-related border enforcement functions;
Use funding to prioritize the acquisition and development of regional projects on the
borders to maximize interoperability and coordination capabilities among federal and local
partners.
SHSP and UASI recipients will be allowed to Use funding to reimburse overtime expenses
associated with combating transnational crime organizations (TCO) as a part of federally-led
task forces and investigations.

FY 2017 Risk Methodology
FEMA utilizes a comprehensive risk methodology to determine the eligibility and target
allocations for the State Homeland Security Program and the Urban Area Security
Initiative. In addition, the Port Security Grant Program, Transit Security Grant Program,
and Operation Stonegarden use elements of risk, in conjunction with Transportation
Security Administration (TSA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), and Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) analysis, to determine eligibility and funding amounts.
There are no structural changes to the risk formula for FY 2017.
All data has been refreshed to reflect the most current data available.
The FY 2017 risk validation process for State Homeland Security Program and Urban
Area Security Initiative took place in April 2017.
The risk validation process is mandatory.
FEMA heard from 45 states and urban areas during the process.
FEMA also conducted two risk webinars to provide training on the risk validation
process.
