Fueling Preparedness: The SHSP Grant
Fueling Preparedness: The SHSP Grant
The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) is a core federal funding mechanism that provides critical resources to enhance the safety and security of Wyoming communities. This program is designed to support the implementation of risk-driven, capabilities-based strategies, helping local entities address security gaps and sustain existing homeland security capabilities.
The SHSP grant is 100% federally funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/FEMA. Funding is allocated based on Wyoming’s strategic homeland security goals and priorities.
The purpose of the SHSP is to build, sustain, and deliver the capabilities necessary to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism and other complex threats.
Eligibility and Pass-Through Requirements
Eligible Applicants: State agencies, local units of government, tribal governments, and other special districts are eligible to apply for funding.
Pass-Through Mandate: The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) must pass through at least 80% of the total grant allocation to local governmental entities.
Law Enforcement Minimum: At least 35% of the combined SHSP funds allocated must be dedicated toward Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA).
Aligning with National Priorities
Aligning with National Priorities
SHSP investments are guided by the National Preparedness Goal. While funding supports a wide range of terrorism preparedness activities, WOHS directs funding toward national priority areas that address the most current and complex threats facing Wyoming and the nation.
Current SHSP Investment Areas (Examples):
Enhancing Cybersecurity and digital security for government entities.
Protection of Soft Targets and Crowded Places (e.g., public venues, schools, and major events).
Enhancing Intelligence and Information Sharing across jurisdictions.
Combatting Domestic Terrorism and Violent Extremism through training and prevention activities.
Community Preparedness and Resilience initiatives.
