2. Eligibility
A. Eligible
Entities/Entity Types
Only the following entities or entity types are eligible to apply. a. Applicants

1. Eligible Applicants
The State Administrative Agency (SAA) is the only entity eligible to submit HSGP applications to DHS/FEMA. HSGP funds are provided to SAAs, which manage and distribute the funds within their respective states or territories. SAAs issue subawards to local governments and other eligible organizations, ensuring that resources reach areas that need them to enhance security and disaster response.

For this funding opportunity, the term "state" includes all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S.

Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Tribal governments are not eligible to apply directly for HSGP funding but may receive funding through their state’s SAA.

7 7 | Page

b. Subapplicants
SAAs distribute HSGP funds through subawards to other state, local, or tribal organizations. These organizations, called subrecipients, use the funds to improve local and regional security efforts.

1. Subrecipient Eligibility

Under HSGP, FEMA provides funds to each state's SAA. The SAA distributes these funds to other state or local organizations, such as city agencies or county departments. These distributed funds are called subawards, and the organizations receiving them are referred to as subrecipients.

• SHSP: All U.S. states and territories listed above are eligible.

Tribal governments must work through their state’s SAA. • UAS I : FEMA identifies high-risk urban areas based on terrorism risk. SAAs distribute subawards to these designated urban areas. See
Appendix 11.B. for the complete list.
• OPSG: Eligible subrecipients include county-level or
equivalent governments and federally recognized tribal
governments in states bordering Canada or Mexico, or those with international water borders. Applicants must have active U.S. Border Patrol operations coordinated with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection sector office to qualify. OPSG
subrecipients are divided into three tiers based on their location:
o Tier 1 includes counties or tribal governments directly on the land borders with Canada and Mexico, or those located directly on physical borders with Canada, Mexico, or along international water borders.
o Tier 2 includes counties or tribal governments next to Tier 1 locations.
o Tier 3 includes counties or tribal governments next to Tier 2 locations.

The tier structure is only applicable with regard to eligibility.

OPSG funding target allocations are based on the assessed border security risks as determined by the U.S. Border Patrol.

2. Reducing Subapplicant Burden

For FY 2025, each SAA is strongly encouraged to re-evaluate its process for collecting and evaluating subaward applications. FEMA encourages each SAA to minimize the type and quantity of information that it collects as part of the subaward application process, in order to decrease the overall financial and time burden associated

8 8 | Page

with applying for subawards under this grant program. Each SAA should review its subaward application and reduce or eliminate the request for any information that is not needed for legal, financial, or oversight purposes.

c. All Recipients - Compliance with Federal Immigration Laws An immigration term and condition may be material to the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to make this grant award, and the Department of Homeland Security may take any remedy for noncompliance, including termination, if the state or territorial recipient or any local government subrecipient fails to comply with this term and condition.

3. Program Description
A. Background, Program Purpose, and Program History

Background
HSGP includes three key grant programs designed to enhance the capabilities of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as nonprofits, in preventing, protecting against, and responding to terrorist attacks. These programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to strengthen the nation's communities against potential terrorist threats.

In FY 2025, HSGP continues to include three key grant programs:
• SHSP: Supports the implementation of risk-driven, capabilities-based State Homeland Security Strategies to address capability targets.
• UAS I : Focuses on high-risk Urban Area efforts to address their unique security needs. • OPSG: Enhances cooperation and coordination among state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal law enforcement agencies to jointly enhance security along the United States land and water borders.

These programs collectively aim to strengthen the nation's ability to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism and other threats.

Program Purpose and History
Since its inception in 2003, HSGP has significantly enhanced the nation's preparedness. HSGP addresses evolving threats such as cybersecurity vulnerabilities and the protection of soft targets and crowded places. It represents a comprehensive approach to national security, fostering collaboration across all levels of government and within communities to build a safer, more resilient nation. Through planning, training, equipment procurement, and exercises, the program ensures jurisdictions are prepared for a wide range of risks.

In recent years:
• Funding priorities have evolved to include cybersecurity, election security, and countering emerging national security threats.
• Key accomplishments include the development of interoperable communication systems, emergency response training, and investment in physical and cybersecurity measures.
• The program emphasizes strategic investments to address identified capability gaps, requiring alignment with Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) and Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR).

12 12 | Page

This support equips various jurisdictions with the necessary tools and resources to effectively manage and mitigate a wide range of threats and hazards, aligning with FEMA's goal of building a secure and resilient nation.

B. Goals and Objectives
As HSGP is comprised of three different grant programs, this section is divided into SHSP and UASI (together) and OPSG, each with its own focus and goals. SHSP and UASI aim to strengthen the ability of states and urban areas to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism and other hazards. OPSG, on the other hand, remains unique to border security, and focuses on improving cooperation between local, tribal, state, and federal law enforcement to secure America’s international borders. These programs work together to build a secure and resilient nation, giving communities the tools and resources they need to handle various threats and emergencies effectively.

a. SHSP and UASI Goal
The goal of SHSP is to support statewide and state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments in building, enhancing, and sustaining the capabilities needed to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. SHSP funding is intended to help SLTT agencies address capability gaps identified through the THIRA/SPR process, as well as prioritize resources toward high-impact security focus areas, known as NPAs.

The goal for the UASI program is to enhance the security and resilience of high-risk urban areas by building, sustaining, and improving capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. This goal focuses on enabling urban areas to address identified security gaps, increase interagency coordination, and strengthen critical infrastructure protection to reduce vulnerabilities in locations facing heightened risks.

Together, SHSP and UASI under HSGP aim to build a cohesive and collaborative approach to homeland security by promoting national preparedness and resilience.

b. SHSP and UASI Objectives
SHSP and UASI provides resources that support eligible SLTT governments in meeting the following objectives:

• Build and sustain core capabilities, including LETPA and the NPAs (see priorities below);
• Address capability gaps identified in their THIRA and SPR process; and • Implement a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address enduring security needs of communities that includes planning, training and awareness campaigns, equipment and capital projects, and exercises.

c. SHSP and UASI Funding Priorities and Requirements
HSGP establishes specific funding requirements to ensure resources are allocated effectively and address critical national priorities.

13 13 | Page

1. Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities (LETPA) • Description: LETPA are initiatives funded through HSGP aimed at enhancing law enforcement's ability to prevent terrorist attacks. These activities focus on building and sustaining capabilities in areas such as intelligence analysis, information sharing, threat recognition, and terrorist interdiction.
• A
llocation Requirement: At least 35% of each state/territory SHSP/UASI (where applicable) allocation must be allocated to LETPA activities. • F lexibility: LETPA funds can come from SHSP, UASI, or both to meet this requirement. • Project Alignment: LETPA funds can be applied to projects across the five NPAs or other investments that meet LETPA criteria.
• A dditional Guidance: For detailed guidance on allowable LETPA expenditures and requirements, refer to FEMA's Preparedness Grants Manual and Information Bulletin 485 and Information Bulletin 497.

2. National Priority Areas (NPAs)
• Description: FY 2025 HSGP aligns with the Administration’s priorities by directing resources toward the most urgent threats facing the Nation. Through the SHSP and UASI, HSGP supports the development and sustainment of core capabilities essential to achieving the National Preparedness Goal (NPG): “A secure and resilient Nation.”

To ensure strategic focus, DHS has identified five NPAs that reflect the evolving risk landscape and national policy objectives. These priorities serve as a framework for targeting investments that build capability, reduce risk, and promote cross-sector coordination.

The FY 2025 NPAs are:
• Enhancing the protection of soft targets and crowded places, o This includes faith-based organizations and election sites; • Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and fusion centers; • Enhancing and integrating cybersecurity resiliency;
• Enhancing election security; and
• Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement.
o Example activities under border crisis response and enforcement support may include:

1. Participation in the Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement 287(g) training program;

2. Cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers; and

3. Other jurisdictional responsibilities to support the enforcement of United State immigration law.

These NPAs are rooted in the core mission areas of the NPG—prevention, protection, mitigation, and response, and reflect a whole-of-government approach to homeland security. Applicants should use these priorities to guide planning, investment, and implementation to drive measurable outcomes and long-term resilience.

14 14 | Page

• Allocation Requirement:

Recipients must allocate at least 30% of their SHSP and UASI funds to the five NPAs.

Funds can be applied to projects across the five NPAs and can be used to meet LETPA criteria. By meticulously outlining how each investment and project meets LETPA and NPA requirements within the Investment Justifications (IJ), applicants can enhance the effectiveness and compliance of their funding proposals.

• Minimum Spend:
o Enhancing Election Security requires at least 3% of total SHSP and UASI funds. o Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement requires at least 10% of total SHSP and UASI funds.
o The remaining 17% can be allocated across all NPAs.

Failure to meet NPA spending requirements will result in a hold on affected funds until compliance issues are resolved.

• NPA Investments: SHSP and UASI
o Enhancing and Protection of Soft Targets/Crowded Places (no minimum percent)
Soft targets and crowded places, like parks, shopping centers, transportation hubs, and event venues, are increasingly appealing to terrorists because of their accessibility and the large gatherings. These areas often lack strict security measures, making them vulnerable. To address this, public and private sectors must collaborate to strengthen the security of locations such as transportation centers, restaurants, polling places, and similar facilities. Personnel responding to incidents at these sites should also be trained in key operational systems, such as the Incident Command System (ICS), to ensure effective on-scene incident management.

In addition, the malicious use of unmanned aircraft systems (i.e., drones) poses safety and security risks to soft targets and crowded places. Detecting drones is an allowable use of funds under the HSGP in accordance with Executive Order 14305 , Restoring
American Airspace Sovereignty, which allows the purchase of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or equipment or services for the detection, tracking, or identification of drones and drone signals, and FEMA Information Bulletin 530. Before purchasing and deploying these systems, as outlined in the Domestic Counter-UAS National Action Plan, recipients must:

• Consult FEMA and Legal Experts: Work with FEMA's Preparedness Officer and legal experts to ensure your policies and procedures comply with federal and state laws regarding surveillance and communication. • Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Establish clear guidelines to ensure operations are conducted in a manner consistent with First and Fourth Amendment protections, and other applicable provisions of federal law.
• Provide Training and Certification: Ensure personnel operating UAS systems are properly trained and certified, in accordance with FEMA and Federal Aviation Administration standards.

Applicants are encouraged to submit an investment related to protecting soft targets/crowded places. The proposed investment will be subject to DHS/FEMA’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed investments. States are encouraged to engage DHS’ Protective Security Advisors for security assessments of soft targets to ensure that recommendations from those assessments are taken into consideration when allocating grant funding.

Additional Resources
Further guidance and resources for securing soft targets and crowded places can be found through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the
National Institute of Standards and Technology. For comprehensive compliance and operational details, refer to FEMA's Preparedness Grants Manual and related program documents.

16 16 | Page

o Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and Fusion Centers (no minimum percent)
This priority supports the Administration’s direction under Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, which calls for the establishment of Homeland Security Task Forces (HSTFs) nationwide. These multi-agency teams— composed of federal and local law enforcement partners—are tasked with disrupting and dismantling transnational criminal organizations, targeting cross-border human smuggling and trafficking networks (especially those involving children), and using all appropriate law enforcement tools to support lawful immigration enforcement.

Activities under this NPA also enhance broader national efforts in:
 Counterterrorism
 Cybersecurity
 Border security
 Immigration enforcement
 Transnational organized crime
 Protection of economic and critical infrastructure
Allowable Costs:

Applicants may use grant funds for:
 Establishing or enhancing multi-agency HSTFS, including operational coordination centers
 Enhancing capabilities and integration with local fusion centers  Procurement of technology or equipment to support surveillance, communications, and data analysis
 Development of standard operating procedures for information sharing, joint operations, and immigration enforcement coordination  Personnel training, credentialing, and certification to improve interoperability and mission alignment
 Intelligence analysis, reporting, and suspicious activity monitoring  Exercises and simulations focused on joint operations, intelligence sharing, or interdiction/disruption of criminal or smuggling networks  Community engagement efforts to foster trust and encourage threat reporting
F usion Center Requirements: While there is no minimum spending requirement for this NPA, applicants must include at least one project in support of the state or territory’s designated fusion center. Applicants must clearly justify how their project will enhance information sharing, collaboration, and a culture of national preparedness. DHS/FEMA will evaluate these investments based on their effectiveness and alignment with program objectives. Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual for more information on fusion center performance measures.

Additional resources and information regarding collaboration and information sharing are also available through the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

17 17 | Page

o Cybersecurity (no minimum percent)
In today’s interconnected world, increased connectivity brings greater risks, including the potential for adversaries and terrorists to exploit cyber vulnerabilities and disrupt critical systems. While not mandatory, applicants are encouraged to submit proposals for ongoing or high-priority cybersecurity projects. DHS/FEMA will evaluate these investments based on their effectiveness.

Cybersecurity investments should enhance the security and functioning of critical infrastructure and core capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism.

o Election Security (3% minimum allocation)
In January 2017, DHS designated the infrastructure used to administer the Nation’s elections as critical infrastructure. This designation recognizes that the United States’ election infrastructure is of such vital importance to the American way of life that its incapacitation or destruction would have a devastating effect on the country.

Additionally, the Homeland Threat Assessment 2024
indicates that electoral
processes remain an attractive target for many adversaries.

Securing election infrastructure, ensuring its continued operation in the face of threats and harassment, advancing the safety of election officials, and protecting against foreign interference are national security priorities. Because threats to election systems are constantly evolving, defending these systems requires constant vigilance, innovation, and adaptation. By integrating the directives of Executive Order 14248 ,
Preserving and Protection the Integrity of American Elections, into the Election Security NPA, HSGP recipients can ensure that their efforts contribute to a secure, transparent, and resilient electoral process, thereby reinforcing public trust and the integrity of democratic institutions.

To address these priorities, each state and high-risk urban area must make at least one (1) investment that supports physical and/or cyber election security. Proposed investments must meet or exceed the FY 2025 national priority percentage for election security (minimum 3%) and will be evaluated by DHS/FEMA for effectiveness and alignment with program goals.

To further strengthen election integrity, jurisdictions must:
 Prioritize compliance with the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG) 2.0 established by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission;  Complete testing through a Voting System Test Laboratory (VSTL) accredited by the Commission;
1 1 Exec. Order No. 14,248, Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections , 90 Fed. Reg. 14,005 (Mar. 25, 2025).

18 18 | Page

 Utilize the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Systematic Alien Verification Entitlements system for the verification of anyone working at a polling place in any capacity is a U.S. Citizen.

 Demonstrate proof of compliance before accessing the full HSGP award—3% of the award will be withheld from drawdown until compliance is confirmed.

Additional resources and information regarding election security are available through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

• Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement (10% minimum allocation) State and local law enforcement agencies are essential partners in safeguarding national security and public safety. Pursuant to Executive Order 14159 , Protecting the American
People Against Invasion, it is the policy of the United States to enforce immigration laws against all inadmissible and removable aliens—particularly those who threaten the safety or security of the American people. This includes the efficient execution of these laws through lawful incentives and enhanced detention capabilities.

This NPA supports efforts that align with this policy and promote cooperation between local and federal partners. Projects may include, but are not limited to:

o Participation in the DHS/ICE 287(g) program
, allowing trained local officers to
support ICE with immigration enforcement;
o Cooperation with ICE detainers and other jurisdictional responsibilities related to immigration enforcement; and
o Supportive activities such as officer training, technology and information sharing, operational support, and community engagement.

At least one (1) investment must support efforts under this NPA. Applicants must allocate at least 10% of total SHSP and UASI funds to this area. All investments will be reviewed by DHS/FEMA to ensure they are effective, lawful, and aligned with program goals. The SAA must coordinate with ICE on all projects and related matters. Additional guidance and information on the 287(g) program is available through the ICE 287(g) program
website.

d. Other FY 2025 SHSP and UASI Funding Priorities
There are several enduring security needs that crosscut the homeland security enterprise to which recipients should consider allocating funding across core capability gaps and national priorities.

The following are enduring needs that help recipients implement a comprehensive approach to securing communities:

• Effective planning;
2 2 Including assessment of critical infrastructure system vulnerabilities and plans to reduce consequences of disruptions, using the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework and Regional Resiliency Assessment Methodology produced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

19 19 | Page

• Training and awareness campaigns;
• Equipment and capital projects; and
• Exercises.

The table below provides a breakdown of the FY 2025 SHSP and UASI priorities showing the core capabilities enhanced and lifelines supported, as well as examples of eligible project types for each area. More information on allowable investments can be found in Appendix 12.B and in
the Preparedness Grants Manual.

DHS/FEMA expects that national priorities will continue to be included in future years, evolving as threats change and capability gaps are addressed. Applicants are strongly encouraged to start planning now to sustain existing capabilities using funding sources other than DHS preparedness grants.

Projects listed in the table below may be useful in preparing for disasters unrelated to terrorism, as long as they also support the primary goals of preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism.

For FY 2025, each SHSP and UASI recipient is required to submit an Investment Justification (IJ) for the NPAs with minimum spend requirements (i.e., Enhancing Election Security and Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement). The investments must also account for at least the relevant minimum percentage of the applicant’s SHSP and UASI target allocations.

SAAs may submit complete project-level information at the time of application, including the NPA IJs, but are not required to do so. As a reminder, all SHSP and UASI-funded projects must have a demonstrated nexus to achieving target capabilities related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to acts of terrorism. At the same time, these projects can also help improve preparedness for other types of disasters.

e. Goals and Objectives for OPSG
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among Customs and Border Protection (CBP)/United States Border Patrol (USBP), and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to strengthen border security.

The programs objectives are to:
• Enhance collaboration and coordination among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to strengthen border security;

23 23 | Page

• Support joint efforts to secure borders, including land and water routes, and critical travel corridors; and
• Improve information and intelligence sharing to address border-related threats effectively.

f. OPSG Funding Priorities

FY 2025 Emphasis:
• Jurisdictions are encouraged to participate in the 287(g) program as part of their OPSG efforts when coordinated with and endorsed by USBP.
• Funding dedicated to support 287(g) activities under OPSG is encouraged but does not count toward the 10% minimum allocation required for the new “Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement” National Priority Area (NPA) under SHSP and UASI.

The table below provides examples of project types.

and 287(g) procedures

CBP/USBP, remains the lead federal entity in determining eligibility, setting operational priorities, and coordinating all OPSG activities. Any use of 287(g) as part of eligibility must be developed in close coordination with CBP and reflect USBP’s operational assessments and strategic goals.

C. Program Rationale
The stated goals, objectives, and priorities of HSGP support Section 2002 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-296 (codified as amended at 6 U.S.C. § 603).

D. Federal Assistance Type

E. Performance Measures and Targets
a. SHSP and UASI

1. Number of recipients and stakeholders participating in SHSP and UASI.

2. Number of recipients and stakeholders addressing capability gaps identified through the THIRA/SPR process.

3. Number of gaps mitigated in core capabilities that have a target(s) rated as high priority.

4. Percentage change in year-over-year capability levels relating to targeted high priority capabilities identified through the THIRA/SPR process.

FEMA will calculate and analyze the above metrics through a review of state/territory and urban area SPR submissions and required programmatic reports.

b. OPSG

1. Number of OPSG-supported arrests for border-related offenses.

2. Number of OPSG-funded overtime hours contributed by subrecipients to support and strengthen the U.S. CBP’s border security operations.

3. Number of SLTT law enforcement agencies participating in joint OPSG activities.

F. Program-Specific Unallowable Costs
a. Unallowable Costs for SHSP, UASI, and OPSG
Per FEMA policy, the purchase of weapons and weapons accessories, including ammunition, is not allowed with HSGP funds. Grant funds may not be used for the purchase of the following equipment: firearms; ammunition; grenade launchers; bayonets; or weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind with weapons installed. Unauthorized exercise-related costs include:

• Reimbursement for the maintenance or wear and tear costs of general use vehicles (e.g., construction vehicles), medical supplies, and emergency response apparatus (e.g., fire trucks, ambulances); and
• Equipment that is purchased for permanent installation and/or use, beyond the scope of the conclusion of the training or exercise (e.g., electronic messaging sign).

HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of sworn public safety officers for purposes of fulfilling traditional public safety duties or to supplant traditional public safety positions and responsibilities (6 USC 609(b)(1)(A)).

As directed by Section 2008(b)(2) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (codified as amended at 6 USC 609(b)(2)), all personnel and personnel-related costs, including those of intelligence analysts and operational overtime, are allowed up to 50 percent of HSGP funding without time limitation placed on the period of time that such personnel can serve. FEMA may provide a waiver at the request of the recipient to allow personnel expenses to exceed 50 percent of the amount awarded.

Applicants should refer to IB 421b or contact their FEMA Headquarters (HQ) Preparedness Officer for guidance and clarification.

b. Unallowable Costs for OPSG Only
OPSG funds may not be used for the following:

25 25 | Page

• Evidence collection, arrest processing, prosecution, and Traffic/DUI checkpoints, such as evidence documentation cameras, fingerprinting supplies, alcohol breathalyzers, portable work lights, traffic barricades, and similar law enforcement expenses; • Staffing (other than overtime) and general information technology computing equipment and hardware, such as personal computers, faxes, copy machines, and modems; • Hiring full-time or permanent sworn public safety officers; • Supplanting of inherent routine patrols and law enforcement operations or activities not directly related to providing enhanced coordination between local and federal law enforcement agencies;
• Construction and/or renovation costs; or
• Exercise expenses.

G. General Funding Requirements

Costs charged to federal awards (including federal and non-federal cost share funds) must comply with applicable statutes, rules and regulations, policies, this NOFO, the Preparedness
Grants Manual, a nd the terms and conditions of the federal award. This includes, among other requirements, that costs must be incurred, and products and services must be delivered within the budget period.
2 C.F.R. § 200.403(h).

Recipients may not use federal funds or any cost share funds for the following activities:

1. Matching or cost sharing requirements for other federal grants and cooperative agreements (see 2 C.F.R. § 200.306
).

2. Lobbying or other prohibited activities under 18 U.S.C. § 1913 or 2 C.F.R. § 200.450.

3. Prosecuting claims against the federal government or any other government entity (see 2 C.F.R. § 200.435
).

1. Funds Transfer Restriction

Recipients are not allowed to move funds between programs (SHSP, UASI, and OPSG). While projects can be funded by multiple sources (e.g., SHSP and UASI), recipients cannot shift funds from one program to another.

H. Indirect Costs (Facilities and Administrative Costs)

Indirect costs are allowed for recipients and subrecipients.

Indirect costs (IDC) are costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective and not readily assignable to specific cost objectives without disproportionate effort. Applicants with a current negotiated IDC rate agreement who desire to charge indirect costs to a federal award must provide a copy of their IDC rate agreement with their applications.

Not all applicants are required to have a current negotiated IDC rate agreement. Applicants that are not required to have a negotiated IDC rate agreement, but are required to develop an IDC rate proposal, must provide a copy of their proposal with their applications. Applicants without a current negotiated IDC rate agreement (including a provisional rate) and wish to charge the de minimis rate must reach out to FEMA for further instructions. Applicants who wish to use a cost

26 26 | Page

allocation plan in lieu of an IDC rate proposal must reach out to FEMA for further instructions.

As it relates to the IDC for subrecipients, a recipient must follow the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.332 and 200.414 in approving the IDC rate for subawards.

See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on establishing indirect cost rates.

I. Management and Administration (M&A) Costs

M&A costs are allowed.

Recipients can use up to 5% of their HSGP funds for M&A purposes. Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, Pub. L. No. 119-4, § 1101. Subrecipients may also use up to 5% of the funding passed through by the state specifically for M&A related to the HSGP award.

Recipients or subrecipients can apply M&A costs toward meeting the NPA spending requirements. For example, if a recipient spent $5,000 on administering election security projects, it could count toward the mandatory 3% allocation for the election security NPA.

The total M&A funds a state can retain are based on 5% of the combined total of its SHSP, UASI, and OPSG awards. However:

• States must ensure subrecipient awards meet the mandatory pass-through requirements before retaining M&A funds.
• Pass-through percentages are calculated based on the total HSGP award, before M&A deductions.

Under OPSG, subrecipients - including local law enforcement agencies referred to as "friendly forces" - can use up to 5% of their awarded funds for M&A expenses (Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, Pub. L. No. 119-4, § 1101); however, the total amount retained cannot exceed 5% of the subrecipient’s subaward. Friendly forces are local law enforcement entities that are subordinate subrecipients under OPSG. In other words, friendly forces are entities that receive a subaward from a subrecipient under the OPSG program.

Friendly forces must comply with all requirements of subrecipients under 2 C.F.R. Part 200. In retaining these funds, states may retain a maximum of 2.5% of the OPSG allocation, which must be withheld from the pass-through to each subrecipient county or tribe in an equal percentage.

The SAA may also retain additional funding from its SHSP award to manage and administer the OPSG award, but that additional amount is also capped at an amount equal to 2.5% of the OPSG award.

Examples of applying this principle:

SAA 1:
• Total award: $6,000,000
• SHSP: $1,000,000 OPSG: $2,500,000 UASI: $2,500,000
• M&A Maximum: $300,000 (5% of $6,000,000)

27 27 | Page

• Maximum M&A for SHSP = $50,000
• Maximum M&A for OPSG = $125,000. Of that amount, $62,500 (2.5%) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $62,500 would come from the SHSP allocation.

Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond $50,000 available to make the SHSP allocation. • Maximum M&A for UASI = $125,000

SAA 2:
• Total award: $4,500,000
• SHSP: $3,500,000 OPSG: $1,000,000
• M&A Maximum: $225,000 (5% of $4,500,000)
• Maximum M&A for SHSP = $175,000
• Maximum M&A for OPSG = $50,000. Of that amount, $25,000 (2.5%) may be retained from the OPSG allocation, and the other $25,000 would come from the SHSP allocation.

Any amount used to manage and administer OPSG that is charged to SHSP may be above and beyond the $175,000 available to manage the SHSP allocation.

M&A charged to OPSG, SHSP, or UASI funding must be used to support that particular program.

M&A are not overhead costs but are necessary direct costs incurred in direct support of the federal award or as a consequence of it, such as travel, meeting-related expenses, and salaries of full/part-time staff in direct support of the program. As such, M&A costs can be itemized in financial reports. See the Preparedness Grants Manual
for information on M&A costs.

J. Pre-Award Costs

Pre-award costs are defined as costs incurred by the applicant prior to the start date of the period of performance of the federal award and are allowable only with the prior written approval of DHS/FEMA and as included in the award agreement. To request pre-award costs, a written request must be included with the application, signed by the AOR of the entity. The letter must outline what the pre-award costs are for, including a detailed budget break-out of pre-award costs from the post-award costs, and a justification for approval. For more information, please contact your assigned FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer.

a. IJ Development: SHSP and UASI

Each IJ begins with an overview that aligns the proposed investments with the applicant's homeland security strategy and the program's goals.

1. Investments: Applicants must propose a minimum of two and a maximum of twelve investments within the IJ. Each investment represents a strategic area of focus and should include:
• Investment Name: A clear title that reflects the focus area. • Description: An explanation of how the investment supports planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises.
• Alignment: Identification of goals and objectives from the State or Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy that the investment supports.

2. Projects: Each investment contains one or more projects detailing specific activities. For each project, the IJ requires:
• Project Name and Description: A concise title and summary of the project's purpose and activities.
• Subrecipient Information: Details about any subrecipients involved, including their names and whether they are state or local entities.
• Location: The primary location's zip code where the project will be implemented. • Core Capability Supported: The main capability the project aims to build or sustain.
• Shareability and Deployability: Information on whether the project's activities can be shared with or deployed to other jurisdictions.

30 30 | Page

3. Funding Details: The IJ must specify the funding amount for each investment and project, ensuring alignment with program guidelines and the minimum spending thresholds for NPAs and LETPA.

4. Capability Gaps and Outcomes: Applicants should describe existing capability levels, identify gaps the investment intends to address, and outline the expected outcomes and improvements resulting from the proposed projects.

b. LETPA and NPA Requirements
Applicants must ensure their IJs meet specific requirements for LETPA and the NPAs.

1. LETPA
• At least 35% of SHSP and UASI funds must go toward LETPA projects that prevent terrorism, such as law enforcement training or equipment. • Eligible activities must have a clear nexus to law enforcement terrorism prevention, including equipment, training, exercises, and operational overtime directly related to preventing terrorism.
• Applicants should clearly identify which investments and projects contribute to the LETPA allocation within their IJs.
• It's allowable for an investment to simultaneously support LETPA and an NPA, provided it meets the criteria for both.
• Investments and projects meeting LETPA requirements must be clearly labeled in the IJ.

NPA:
• At least 30% of SHSP and UASI funds must go toward projects in five NPAs:
• Protecting soft targets/crowded places;
• Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and Fusion Centers; • Enhancing cybersecurity;
• Enhancing election security (requires at least 3%); and • Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement (requires at least 10%). • Among these, only "Enhancing election security" and “Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement” have a specified minimum spend requirement of 3% and 10%, respectively. The remaining 17% can be flexibly allocated across the remaining NPAs.
• For NPAs with a minimum spend requirement (election security and border crisis response), related projects must be consolidated into a single, clearly labeled IJ. • Other NPA projects may be combined into one or more IJs, but applicants must clearly identify which NPAs each project supports to ensure they count toward the 30% minimum allocation.

c. Fusion Center Project IJ Requirement
For SHSP and UASI funded investments, each applicant must designate one project in support of the state or territory’s designated fusion center under the “Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and Fusion Centers” priority area. Coordination with the fusion center is required when

31 31 | Page

developing the project prior to submission. Additional guidance on developing fusion center projects can be found below and in the Preparedness Grants Manual.

Note: applicants may also identify additional fusion center projects or projects in support of homeland security task forces under this priority area in addition to the required designated fusion center project.

Applicants must identify a fusion center project that includes:
• Alignment with the Designated Fusion Center: Clearly indicate which fusion center the project supports and that it’s under the “Supporting Homeland Security Task Forces and Fusion Centers” priority area.
• Project Description and Funding Details: Provide a brief narrative describing the proposed activities and a detailed funding breakdown that directly supports the fusion center.

The narrative and financial itemization must align with fusion center improvement or sustainment needs, as outlined in the Fusion Center Performance Measures section of the Preparedness Grants Manual. Recipients can also refer to the Fusion Centers | Homeland
Security website for more information.

d. What Happens if IJ Requirements Aren’t Met?
• If IJs don’t meet the NPA and LETPA spending requirements, FEMA will place a hold on those impacted funds until the issues are resolved.
• Applicants can provide project details either during the application process or by including them in the Biannual Strategy Implementation Report (BSIR) due by January 30, 2026.

e. How to Succeed
• Clearly explain how your projects meet LETPA and NPA goals, and which IJ includes the Fusion Center.
• Ensure investments and projects align with homeland security strategies and fill capability gaps.
• Maintain detailed records to support your application and help FEMA review it.

By following these steps, applicants can ensure their funding proposals are clear, meet program requirements, and align with homeland security priorities.

f. FEMA GO - Grant Request Details (Web-Based)
When completing the Grant Request Details section in the FEMA GO Application, entities are strongly encouraged to provide complete details about their proposed projects. This includes project names, descriptions, and associated costs to ensure clarity and accuracy in funding requests.

However, applicants will not be penalized if they do not enter full details at this stage. They will have another opportunity to refine and expand upon this information when completing the Winter BSIR.

32 32 | Page

At a minimum, applicants must submit the IJ to demonstrate the projects they intend to fund. The IJ provides a high-level summary of proposed initiatives and aligns them with grant priorities.

For additional guidance on completing the Grant Request Details section, refer to the FEMA GO Application Process Guide or consult your HQ FEMA Preparedness Officer.

g. Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) Charter and Advisory List Recipients are required to establish a SAC and provide a copy of the SAC Charter with their application. The SAC Charter should include a detailed description of the committee's composition, governance processes, meeting frequency, decision-making procedures, and defined roles and responsibilities. All members of the SAC should sign and date the charter to indicate their agreement with its content and their representation on the committee. Recipients must include the information as an attachment in FEMA GO when submitting their application.

SAA will use the URT to verify compliance with SAC charter requirements. For more information on SAC composition, scope, responsibilities, see the Preparedness Grants Manual .

h. National Incident Management System (NIMS) Implementation Prior to allocation of any federal preparedness awards, recipients must ensure and maintain adoption and implementation of NIMS, including implementation of important operational systems defined under NIMS, such as the Incident Command System (ICS). The list of objectives used for progress and achievement reporting is on FEMA’s website at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/nims/implementation-training .

Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual
for more information on NIMS.

i. Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Membership In support of the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal), SHSP recipients must participate in the EMAC. Exceptions are made for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to join EMAC at this time.

All assets supported in part or entirely with FY 2025 HSGP funding must be readily deployable and NIMS-typed, when possible, to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements. In addition, funding may be used for the sustainment of core capabilities that, while they may not be physically deployable, support national response capabilities, such as Geographic/Geospatial Information Systems, interoperable communications systems, and capabilities as defined under the Mitigation Mission Area of the Goal.

j. Urban Area Point of Contact
An SAA must confirm a specific POC with the designated high-risk urban area. The SAA POC is responsible for identifying and coordinating with the POC for the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG). This information must be provided to FEMA with the grant application. SAAs must work with existing high-risk urban areas to ensure that information for current POCs is on file with FEMA. For more information on UAWG composition, scope, responsibilities, and charter, see the Preparedness Grants Manual
.

7. Application Review Information
A. Threshold Criteria

The SAA is the sole entity authorized to submit HSGP applications to FEMA on behalf of the state and subrecipients. This section highlights the specific criteria that determine ineligibility, ensuring applicants understand and adhere to the program’s requirements.

a. Entities Ineligible for HSGP Funding
• Non-SAA Organization - SAA are the only eligible applicants to submit HSGP applications to FEMA. This includes applications for SHSP, UASI, and OPSG. • Unaffiliated or Unauthorized Representatives - Applications submitted by individuals who are not current employees, personnel, or authorized representatives of the applicant organization (e.g., consultants or contractors acting on behalf of an organization) will be deemed ineligible.
• Organizations Not Registered in SAM.gov - Applicants that fail to register and maintain an active profile in SAM.gov, or those without a UEI, are not eligible to receive funding.
• Direct Applications by Tribal Governments - Tribal governments cannot directly apply for HSGP funding (SHSP, UASI, OPSG). However, they may receive funding as subrecipients through their state’s SAA.

b. Ineligible Projects
• Projects that do not align with the purposes of the HSGP, including those that fail to demonstrate a clear nexus to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism.
• Activities not permitted under HSGP guidance or that do not meet criteria for allowable costs as outlined in the NOFO and Preparedness Grants Manual.

c. Non-Compliance with Federal Requirements
• Failure to submit a complete and accurate application by the deadline. • Applications missing required documentation or information, such as an active registration in SAM.gov or compliance with UEI requirements.

37 37 | Page

• Entities with a history of non-compliance with federal statutes, regulations, or program requirements that impact eligibility for federal funding.

B. Application Criteria
a. Programmatic Criteria

1. Risk Methodology

The risk methodology determines the relative risk
3 of terrorism a jurisdiction faces by assessing
the expressed or implied threats, the asset/system vulnerabilities, and the communal consequences of an attack. The equation for relative risk is comprised of three components:

Threat x Vulnerability x Consequence. Each component is comprised of data elements that are reviewed yearly, in collaboration with FEMA stakeholders, to ensure alignment with the changing U.S. terrorism threat environment. Each eligible jurisdiction’s relative risk is assessed, which helps to inform grant funding. For more information on the SHSP, UASI, and OPSG target allocation processes, please see Appendix 11.A
.

The three components of risk and their functions are outlined below:
• Threat: Assesses reports documenting indication of potential harm to life, information, operations, the environment and/or property within a jurisdiction. • Vulnerability: Assesses assets and systems - such as infrastructure, borders, special events, and movements of individuals or groups - that may render terrorist attacks on a jurisdiction more likely to succeed, if attempted.
• Consequence: Assesses the impact of a terrorist attack on a jurisdiction through direct measures such as the numerical values for its population, gross domestic product, and infrastructure.

NOTE: The risk methodology is separate from the THIRA/SPR process. Risk methodology results do affect grant target allocations while the THIRA/SPR process does not.

b. Application Evaluation Criteria
FEMA will evaluate the FY 2025 HSGP applications for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, and anticipated effectiveness of the proposed investments. FEMA’s review will include verification that each IJ and project:

• Aligns with at least one core capability identified in the Goal; • Demonstrates how investments support building capability and/or closing capability gaps or sustaining capabilities identified in the THIRA/SPR process; and • Supports a NIMS-typed resource and whether those assets are deployable/shareable to support emergency or disaster operations per existing EMAC agreements.

3 DHS defines risk as: “potential for an adverse outcome assessed as a function of hazard/threats, assets and their vulnerabilities, and consequences.” See DHS Lexicon Terms and Definitions: 2018 Edition – Revision 04, (Apr. 2018)

38 38 | Page

In addition to the above, FEMA will evaluate whether proposed projects are: 1) both feasible and effective at reducing the risks for which the project was designed; and 2) able to be fully completed within the three-year period of performance. FEMA will use the information provided in the application and after the submission of the first BSIR to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a grant project. To that end, IJs should include:

• An explanation of how the proposed project(s) will achieve objectives as identified in the SPR, including expected long-term impact where applicable, and which core capability gap(s) it helps to close and how;
• A summary of the status of planning and design efforts accomplished to date (e.g., included in a capital improvement plan); and
• A project schedule with clear milestones.

Recipients are expected to conform, as applicable, with accepted engineering practices, established codes, standards, modeling techniques, and best practices, and participate in the development of case studies demonstrating the effective use of grant funds, as requested.

FEMA will also review any submitted NPA-aligned IJs and projects to ensure they meet the minimum spend requirements. Additional information on how the NPA IJs and projects will be reviewed for effectiveness is included in the Review and Selection Process section below.

b. Review and Selection Process

1. SHSP and UASI

FY 2025, HSGP applications will be reviewed through a two-phase state and federal review process for completeness, adherence to programmatic guidelines, feasibility, and how well the IJ (project description and justification) addresses the identified risk(s).

State Review
The SAA is the sole entity authorized to submit HSGP applications to FEMA on behalf of the state and subrecipients. The SAA reviews subaward applications to ensure they meet the legal, financial, and programmatic requirements set forth by FEMA and the state's guidelines before submitting on behalf of the state to DHS/FEMA.

Federal Review

All proposed investments will undergo a federal review by DHS/FEMA to ensure compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria identified in the NOFO. The Federal Reviewers will check each proposed investment for the following:

• Eligibility, feasibility, and alignment with the application criteria listed in this NOFO; • Compliance and effectiveness in addressing NPAs, ensuring required spend percentages are met;
• Compliance with SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants (SAFECOM Guidance); and,
• LETPA project alignment with program objectives and required spend percentages.

National Priority Area Funding Holds

39 39 | Page

If applicants submit IJs and project-level details at the time of application, FEMA will evaluate effectiveness prior to award. If projects do not sufficiently align with NPAs, up to 30% of funds may be placed on hold until revisions are made.

If applicants submit IJs and project-level details as part of their December 2026 BSIR, 30% of funds will be placed on hold until FEMA reviews the BSIR and confirms alignment with NPAs.

2. OPSG

For OPSG, applications will be reviewed by the SAA and USBP Sector Headquarters for completeness and adherence to programmatic guidelines and evaluated for anticipated feasibility, need, and impact.

DHS/FEMA will verify compliance with all administrative and eligibility criteria outlined in the NOFO.

OPSG funds will be allocated among the eligible jurisdictions based on risk-based prioritization using the OPSG Risk Assessment described in Appendix A. Final funding allocations are determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, who may consider information and input from various law enforcement offices or subject-matter experts within the Department.

Factors considered include, but are not limited to:
• Threat and vulnerability assessments
• Total miles of the border
• Border-specific law enforcement intelligence
• Feasibility of Operations Orders to designated localities within border states and territories.

This comprehensive review and selection process ensures that HSGP and OPSG funds are distributed effectively to enhance national preparedness, border security, and overall homeland security efforts.

C. Financial Integrity Criteria
Before making an award, FEMA is required to review OMB-designated databases for applicants’ eligibility and financial integrity information. This is required by the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 (Pub. L. No. 116-117, § 2 (2020)), 41 U.S.C. § 2313, and the “Do Not Pay Initiative” (31 U.S.C. 3354). For more details, please see 2 C.F.R. § 200.206.

Thus, the Financial Integrity Criteria may include the following risk-based considerations of the applicant:

1. Financial stability.

2. Quality of management systems and ability to meet management standards.

3. History of performance in managing federal award.

4. Reports and findings from audits.

5. Ability to effectively implement statutory, regulatory, or other requirements.

40 40 | Page

D. Supplemental Financial Integrity Criteria and Review Before making an award expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (currently a total federal share of $250,000) over the period of performance:

FEMA is required by 41 U.S.C. § 2313 to review or consider certain information found in SAM.gov. For details, please see 2 C.F.R. § 200.206(a)(2).

1. An applicant may review and comment on any information in the responsibility/qualification records available in SAM.gov.

2. Before making decisions in the risk review required by 2 C.F.R. § 200.206, FEMA will consider any comments by the applicant.

E. Reviewers and Reviewer Selection
Reviewers for the HSGP NOFO are selected from within FEMA, across the federal government, and, where applicable, may include external subject matter experts. These reviewers are chosen based on their expertise in homeland security, emergency management, and grant administration.

To prevent conflicts of interest, reviewers must disclose any personal or professional relationships with applicants before the review process begins. Any individual with a conflict is recused from evaluating the affected application. Additionally, reviewers are required to complete ethics and impartiality training to ensure a fair and unbiased review process.

F. Merit Review Process
HSGP applications are not reviewed solely on merit. While merit plays a role—such as evaluating the effectiveness, feasibility, and impact of proposed investments—the review process heavily incorporates risk-based methodologies and compliance criteria. HSGP does not use a weighted scoring method. All criteria are considered equally during the review process.

Review Process:
• State Review (SHSP and UASI): The SAA conducts an initial eligibility review and prioritizes projects for submission to FEMA.
• OPSG Review: OPSG applications are reviewed in coordination with the SAA and USBP Sector Headquarters to assess completeness, feasibility, need, and the anticipated impact of proposed Operations Orders.
• Federal Review: FEMA conducts a federal review of all applications to ensure eligibility, feasibility, and compliance with NOFO requirements.

While merit is a key factor in assessing alignment with national priorities, state and local needs, expected impact, and cost-effectiveness, funding decisions also weigh risk assessments, eligibility criteria, and available funding target allocations.

G. Final Selection
The Secretary of Homeland Security makes the final funding decisions, considering risk assessments, subject-matter expert input, and project feasibility, while also ensuring alignment with national priorities and compliance with legal, financial, and policy guidelines for strategic allocation of funds.

8. Award Notices
A. Notice of Award
The Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) should carefully read the federal award package before accepting the federal award. The federal award package includes instructions on administering the federal award as well as terms and conditions for the award.

By submitting an application, applicants agree to comply with the prerequisites stated in this NOFO and the material terms and conditions of the federal award, should they receive an award.

FEMA will provide the federal award package to the applicant electronically via FEMA GO.

Award packages include an Award Letter, Summary Award Memo, Agreement Articles, and Obligating Document. An award package notification email is sent via the grant application system to the submitting AOR.

Recipients must accept their awards no later than 60 days from the award date. Recipients shall notify FEMA of their intent to accept the award and proceed with work via the FEMA GO system. For more information on award acceptance, refer to the FEMA GO Award Acceptance
Guide.

For HSGP, “receipt of funds” happens when the recipient accepts the award or 15 calendar days after receiving the award notification, whichever comes first. IF the recipient accepts the award within 15 calendar days of the notification, the 45-day pass-through period starts on the acceptance date. If the recipient does not accept the award within 15 calendar days, the 45-day pass-through period automatically begins 15 calendar days after the notification is sent through FEMA GO. For detailed guidance on managing preparedness grants, including pass-through requirements and timelines, please refer to the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual , Pass-
Through Requirements.

Funds will remain on hold until the recipient accepts the award via FEMA GO and all other conditions of the award have been satisfied, or until the award is otherwise rescinded. Failure to accept a grant award within the specified timeframe may result in a loss of funds.

B. Pass-Through Requirements
Under HSGP, SAAs must pass at least 80% of SHSP and UASI funding to local or tribal governments. The state may retain up to 20% for state-level needs. "Pass-through" means SAAs must allocate funds to eligible entities as defined by law, such as counties, municipalities, tribal governments, or other public entities. For detailed guidance on HSGP pass-through requirements and timelines, please see Section 8 of the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual .

After award acceptance, the state must pass through at least 80% of SHSP and UASI funds to local or tribal governments within 45 days. The timeline starts when the SAA accepts the award or 15 days after FEMA notifies the SAA, whichever is sooner. Funds must be distributed unconditionally, and the SAA must certify to FEMA that the pass-through is complete, listing amounts and recipients. U.S. territories are exempt, except for Puerto Rico, which must comply.

States may keep more than 20% of funds only with written consent from local recipients, outlining the retained amount and purpose.

42 42 | Page

C. Note Regarding Pre-Award Costs
Even if pre-award costs are allowed, beginning performance is at the applicant and/or sub- applicant’s own risk.

D. Obligation of Funds
The funds are obligated when the SAA’s signatory authority accepts the award and signs the award package.

E. Notification to Unsuccessful Applicants
During the post-award review, FEMA will notify the recipient about unsuccessful subrecipients or projects and provide feedback. The SAA is then responsible for notifying the subapplicants and sharing any relevant feedback or information.

Audits must follow 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F, 2 C.F.R. § 200.501, and the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards.

I. Monitoring and Oversight
Per 2 C.F.R. § 200.337, DHS and its authorized representatives have the right of access to any records of the recipient or subrecipient pertinent to a Federal award to perform audits, site visits, and any other official use. The right also includes timely and reasonable access to the recipient’s or subrecipient’s personnel for the purpose of interview and discussion related to such documents or the Federal award in general.

Pursuant to this right and per 2 C.F.R. § 200.329, DHS may conduct desk reviews and make site visits to review and evaluate project accomplishments and management control systems as well as provide any required technical assistance. Recipients and subrecipients must respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to a federal award.

J. Program Evaluation
Title I of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-435 (2019) (Evidence Act), PUBL435.PS
urges federal agencies to use program evaluation as a
critical tool to learn, improve delivery, and elevate program service and delivery across the program lifecycle. Evaluation means “an assessment using systematic data collection and analysis of one or more programs, policies, and organizations intended to assess their effectiveness and efficiency.” Evidence Act, § 101 (codified at 5 U.S.C. § 311). OMB A-11, Section 290 (Evaluation and Evidence-Building Activities) further outlines the standards and practices for evaluation activities. Federal agencies are required to specify any requirements for recipient participation in program evaluation activities (2 C.F.R. § 200.301). Program evaluation activities incorporated from the outset in the NOFO and program design and implementation allow recipients and agencies to meaningfully document and measure progress and achievement towards program goals and objectives, and identify program outcomes and lessons learned, as part of demonstrating recipient performance (2 C.F.R. § 200.301).

As such, recipients and subrecipients are required to participate in a Program Office (PO) or a DHS Component-led evaluation, if selected. This may be carried out by a third-party on behalf of the PO or the DHS Component. Such an evaluation may involve information collections including but not limited to, records of the recipients, surveys, interviews, or discussions with individuals who benefit from the federal award, program operating personnel, and award recipients; and site visits or other observation of recipient activities, as specified in a DHS Component or PO-approved evaluation plan. More details about evaluation requirements may be provided in the federal award, if available at that time, or following the award as evaluation requirements are finalized. Evaluation costs incurred during the period of performance are allowable costs (either as direct or indirect) in accordance with 2 C.F.R.§ 200.413 .

Recipients and subrecipients are also encouraged, but not required, to participate in any additional evaluations after the period of performance ends, although any costs incurred to participate in such evaluations are not allowable and may not be charged to the federal award.

K. Additional Performance Reporting Requirements
Award recipients must submit the following reports: quarterly financial reports, semi-annual performance reports and BSIR submissions, final financial and performance reports, and an

45 45 | Page

annual audit report (if required). These must follow the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, found at 2 C.F.R. Part 200, or specific conditions of the award. If reports are late, future funding or fund access may be delayed, and additional reports may be requested in some cases. a. Reporting on the Implementation of the National Preparedness System Recipients are required to complete the THIRA every three years and the SPR annually through the URT on the Preparedness Toolkit
no later than Dec. 31. These assessments help jurisdictions identify and address capability gaps to enhance overall preparedness. See the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on reporting on the Implementation of the National Preparedness System.

b. BSIR
In addition to submitting semi-annual progress reports, recipients are required to complete the BSIR. The BSIR is submitted twice a year—in June and December—and provides detailed updates on the status and progress of funded projects. For comprehensive guidance on BSIR submission and other reporting requirements, see the Preparedness Grants Manual .

c. Emergency Communications Investments - SAFECOM Compliant Letter An Emergency Communications Investments - SAFECOM Compliant Letter is required when utilize federal grants to fund emergency communications projects. The signatory authority for the SAA must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA their compliance with the SAFECOM Guidance.

The certification letter should be coordinated with the Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWIC) for each state and must be uploaded to FEMA GO at the time of the Winter BSIR submission.

For detailed information on SAFECOM Guidance and compliance requirements, refer to the https://www.cisa.gov/safecom/funding
. If you have further questions or need assistance, contact the SAFECOM Program at [email protected].

d. Operations Orders for OPSG
The Operations Order (OO) is a detailed plan that explains the specific aspects of an operation, including its goals, tasks, timelines, and resources needed. It provides clear instructions on how to carry out the operation, identifying who is responsible for each task, the resources required, and the expected results. Recipients are required to submit an OO to show their ability to implement the proposed activities effectively, align with program goals, and meet funding requirements.

FEMA or the pass-through entity must provide written notice of the termination in a manner consistent with 2 C.F.R. § 200.341. The federal award will be terminated on the date of the notification unless stated otherwise in the notification.

7. Opportunities to Object and Appeal
Where applicable, when FEMA terminates the Federal award, the written notification of termination will provide the opportunity and describe the process, to object and provide information challenging the action, pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.342.

8. Effects of Suspension and Termination

The allowability of costs to the recipient or subrecipient resulting from financial obligations incurred by the recipient or subrecipient during a suspension or after the termination of a federal award are subject to 2 C.F.R. 200.343.

M. Best Practices
While not a requirement in the DHS Standard Terms and Conditions, as a best practice, entities receiving funds through this program should ensure that cybersecurity is integrated into the design, development, operation, and maintenance of investments that impact information technology (IT) and/ or operational technology (OT) systems. Additionally,, “The recipient and subrecipient must … take reasonable cybersecurity and other measures to safeguard information including protected personally identifiable information (PII) and other types of information.” 2 C.F.R. § 200.303(e).

N. Payment Information

Recipients will submit payment requests in FEMA GO for FY25 awards under this program.

Instructions to Grant Recipients Pursuing Payments

FEMA reviews all grant payments and obligations to ensure allowability in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.305. These measures will ensure funds are disbursed appropriately while continuing to support and prioritize communities who rely on FEMA for assistance. Once a recipient submits a payment request, FEMA will review the request. If FEMA approves a payment, it will process through FEMA GO and inform recipients accordingly for drawdown purposes. If FEMA disapproves a payment, FEMA will inform the recipient.

Processing and Payment Timeline
FEMA must comply with regulations governing payments to grant recipients. See 2 C.F.R. §
200.305. For grant recipients other than States, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(b)(3) stipulates that FEMA is

49 49 | Page

to make payments on a reimbursement basis within 30 days after receipt of the payment request, unless FEMA reasonably believes the request to be improper. For state recipients, 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a) instructs that federal grant payments are governed by Treasury-S tate Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) agreements ("Treasury-State agreement") and default procedures codified at 31 C.F.R. part 205 and Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) 4A-2000, "Overall Disbursing Rules for All Federal Agencies." See 2 C.F.R. § 200.305(a).

Treasury-State agreements generally apply to "major federal assistance programs” that are governed by 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart A and are identified in the Treasury-State agreement. 31 C.F.R. §§ 205.2, 205.6. Where a federal  assistance (grant) program is not governed by subpart A, payment and funds transfers from FEMA to the state are subject to 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B. Subpart B requires FEMA to "limit a funds transfer to a state to the minimum amounts needed by the state and must time the disbursement to be in accord with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the state in carrying out a federal assistance program or project. The timing and amount of funds transfers must be as close as is administratively feasible to a state's actual cash outlay for direct program costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs." 31 C.F.R. § 205.33(a). Nearly all FEMA grants are not “major federal assistance programs.” As a result, payments to states for those grants are subject to the "default” rules of 31 C.F.R. part 205, subpart B.

If additional information is needed, a request for information will be issued by FEMA to the recipient; recipients are strongly encouraged to respond to any additional FEMA request for information inquiries within three business days. If an adequate response is not received, the request may be denied, and the entity may need to submit a new reimbursement request; this will re-start the 30-day timeline.

Submission Process

All non-disaster grant program reimbursement requests must be reviewed and approved by FEMA prior to drawdowns.

For all non-disaster reimbursement requests (regardless of system), please ensure submittal of the following information:

1. Grant ID / Award Number

2. Total amount requested for drawdown

3. Purpose of drawdown and timeframe covered (must be within the award performance period)

4. Subrecipient Funding Details (if applicable).
• Is funding provided directly or indirectly to a subrecipient? o If no, include statement “This grant funding is not being directed to a subrecipient.”
• If yes, provide the following details:
o The name, mission statement, and purpose of each subrecipient receiving funds, along with the amount allocated and the specific role or activity being reimbursed. o Whether the subrecipient’s work or mission involves supporting aliens, regardless of whether FEMA funds support such activities.

50 50 | Page

o Whether the payment request includes an activity involving support to aliens. o Whether the subrecipient has any DEI practices.

5. Supporting documentation to demonstrate that expenses are allowable, allocable, reasonable, and necessary under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 and in compliance with the grant’s NOFO, award terms, and applicable federal regulations.

O. Immigration Conditions

1. Materiality of Pending Immigration Condition
An immigration term and condition, including those in the DHS Standard Terms and Conditions, may be material to the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to make this grant award, and the Department of Homeland Security may take any remedy for noncompliance, including termination, if the state or territorial recipient or any local government subrecipient fails to comply with this term and condition. No final agency determination has been made as of the date of this publication.

c. Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure

1. Recipients and subrecipients must comply with FEMA’s implementation requirements of the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA), which was enacted as part of the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act §§ 70901-70927, Pub. L. No. 117-58 (2021); and Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers. See also 2 C.F.R. Part 184, Buy America Preferences for Infrastructure Projects and Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Memorandum M-24-02, Implementation Guidance on Application of Buy America Preference in Federal Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure.

None of the funds provided under this program may be used for a project for infrastructure unless the iron and steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in that infrastructure are produced in the United States.

The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America

51 51 | Page

preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.

To see whether a particular FEMA federal financial assistance program is considered an infrastructure program and thus required to implement FEMA’s Build America, Buy America requirements, please see
Programs and Definitions: Build America, Buy America Act | FEMA.gov.

2. Waivers
When necessary, recipients (and subrecipients through their pass-through entity) may apply for, and FEMA may grant, a waiver from these requirements.

A waiver of the domestic content procurement preference may be granted by the agency awarding official if FEMA determines that:
• Applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest, or
• The types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality, or
• The inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25%.

The process for requesting a waiver from the Buy America preference requirements can be found on FEMA’s website at: "Buy America" Preference in FEMA Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure | FEMA.gov.

3. Definitions
For definitions of the key terms of the Build America, Buy America Act, please visit Programs and Definitions: Build America, Buy America Act | FEMA.gov. d. Mandatory Disclosures
The non-Federal entity or applicant for a federal award must disclose, in a timely manner, in writing to the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity all violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, bribery, or gratuity violations potentially affecting the Federal award. (2 C.F.R. § 200.113)

11. Appendix A: HSGP Target Allocations

HSGP Programs FY 2025 Target Allocation
SHSP $373,500,000
UASI $553,500,000
OPSG $ 81,000,000
Total $1,008,000,000

A. SHSP Target Allocations
For FY 2025, DHS/FEMA will distribute SHSP funds based on their risk assessment methodology and legal minimums outlined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

THIRA and SPR results do not affect how grant funds are allocated.

Each state and territory will receive a guaranteed minimum amount:
• All 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico will receive at least 0.35% of the total funds available under Sections 2003 and 2004 of the Homeland Security Act. • The four territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S.

Virgin Islands) will receive at least 0.08% of the total funds available under these sections.

States must include a separate IJ for the NPA focused on Enhancing Election Security (at least 3% minimum spend requirement) and Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement (at least a 10% minimum spend requirement), but there is flexibility on the remaining 17% required to meet the overall 30% minimum spend requirement for the NPAs associated with the SHSP allocation.

These are target allocations pending final decisions by the Department of Homeland Security.

These target allocations act as an estimate, and final allocations may be different in the award letter.

B. UASI Target Allocations
For FY 2025, the UASI program will provide funding to high-risk urban areas. Eligibility has been determined through an analysis of relative risk of terrorism faced by the 100 most populous Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) in the United States, as outlined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Detailed information on MSAs is available from the U.S. Census

55 55 | Page

Bureau at Metropolitan and Micropolitan (census.gov). It is important to note that results from THIRA/SPR do not impact grant allocations or awards.

The Metropolitan Areas Standardization and Protection (MAPS) Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-219) prohibits automatic updates to core-based statistical areas, which are used to define MSAs, for grantmaking purposes. Any changes require a formal rulemaking process with public notice and comment. If changes become necessary in FY 2025, FEMA will initiate this process as required by the MAPS Act.

The table below lists the UASI allocations for each high-risk urban area based on DHS/FEMA’s risk-informed assessment in accordance with the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended.

Each high-risk urban area, through its state, must include a separate IJ for the NPA “Enhancing Election Security”, which has a required minimum spend of 3%, and “Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement”, which has a 10% minimum spend requirement. All projects related to these requirements must be included in the separate IJs. Additionally, the combined funding across all five NPAs must total at least 30% of the area’s overall UASI allocation.

These are target allocations pending final decisions by the Department of Homeland Security.

These target allocations act as an estimate, and final allocations may be different in the award letter.

C. OPSG Target Allocations
For FY 2025, DHS/FEMA will award OPSG funds based on two main factors: the risk to border security and the anticipated effectiveness of proposed projects. The OPSG risk assessment identifies potential threats to border security, guiding the distribution of funds to areas with the highest need. Eligible applicants are local, and tribal law enforcement agencies located along the U.S. borders.

For OPSG, "risk" refers to the potential for adverse outcomes, assessed by evaluating threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences associated with specific incidents or events. The risk model used to allocate OPSG funds considers the potential risk that certain threats pose to border security and estimates the relative risk faced by a given area. In evaluating threat, DHS/CBP considers intelligence, situational awareness, criminal trends, and statistical data specific to each of the border sectors, and the potential impacts that these threats pose to the security of the border area. For vulnerability and consequence, DHS/CBP considers the expected impact and consequences of successful border events occurring in specific areas. The effectiveness of proposed investments is evaluated based on the subrecipient’s investment strategy, budget, collaboration, and past performance.

measures at critical infrastructure locations

B. SHSP and UASI Other Direct Costs
Recipients must comply with all the requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). In general, recipients should consult with their FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer prior to making any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria. Funding guidelines established within this section support four of the five mission areas—Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, and Response—and associated core capabilities within the Goal. While Recovery is part of the Goal, it is not explicitly part of the HSGP. Allowable investments made in support of the national priorities, as well as other capability-enhancing projects must have a nexus to terrorism preparedness and fall into the categories of planning, organization, exercises, training, or equipment, aligned to building capability, closing capability gaps, and/or sustaining capabilities, as defined by CPG 201: THIRA/SPR Guide—3rd Edition ( Comprehensive
Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, 3rd Edition (fema.gov)). Recipients are encouraged to use grant funds for evaluating grant-funded project effectiveness and return on investment. FEMA encourages recipients to provide the results of that analysis to FEMA.

a. Planning
SHSP and UASI funds may be used for a range of emergency preparedness and management planning activities, such as those associated with the development, review, and revision of the THIRA, SPR, continuity plans, and other planning activities that support the Goal and placing an emphasis on updating and maintaining a current Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that conforms to the guidelines outlined in Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v3.

Planning efforts can also include conducting risk and resilience assessments on increasingly connected cyber and physical systems, on which security depends, using the Infrastructure Resilience Planning Framework and related CISA resources.

2. Controlled Equipment

For decades, the federal government has provided equipment to state, local, and tribal LEAs through federal grants. Some federal grant programs have assisted LEAs as they carry out their critical missions to keep the American people safe. The equipment acquired by LEAs through these programs includes administrative equipment, such as office furniture and computers. Some federal grant programs also may include military and military-styled equipment, firearms, and tactical vehicles provided by the federal government, including property covered under 22 C.F.R.

4 Except for American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which are not required to belong to EMAC at this time.
5 This applies to all homeland security personnel and is not limited to M&A staff, and costs are to be captured outside the cap on M&A costs.

66 66 | Page

Part 121 and 15 C.F.R. Part 774 (collectively, "controlled equipment").

However, not all equipment that is considered controlled equipment is allowable under the HSGP. Grant funds under this program may not be used for the purchase of equipment not approved by DHS/FEMA. For example, the purchase of tracked armored vehicles, camouflage uniforms, weapons, and weapons accessories, including ammunition, is generally not allowed with HSGP funds.

DHS/FEMA will continue to collaborate with federal agency partners to ensure that there is a consistent and reasonable approach to the restrictions placed on certain equipment expenditures while continuing to support these investments when there is a justifiable need. Further, DHS/FEMA will continue to maintain an awareness of the evolving policy developments related to certain equipment expenditures and keep grant recipients up to date on future developments.

Additional information on controlled equipment is pending publication. Please visit FEMA’s website for current and upcoming guidance.

3. Construction and Renovation

Construction and renovation costs to achieve capability targets related to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to acts of terrorism are allowed under this program. For construction and renovation costs to be allowed, they must be specifically approved by DHS/FEMA in writing prior to the use of any program funds. Limits on the total amount of grant funding that may be used for construction or renovation may apply. Additionally, recipients are required to submit SF-424C and SF-424D
.

All proposed construction and renovation activities must undergo an EHP review, including approval of the review from FEMA, prior to undertaking any action related to the project. Failure of a grant recipient to meet these requirements may jeopardize Federal funding. Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual
for more information.

d. Training and Exercises
Training and exercise costs are allowed under this program only as described in this funding notice and the Preparedness Grants Manual. Recipients are encouraged to consider tuition-free courses offered by FEMA first, before investing in training. For more information and a catalog of courses please refer to the National Preparedness Course Catalog at the National Training and Education Division (NTED).

Allowable training-related costs under HSGP include the establishment, support, conduct, and attendance of training specifically identified under the SHSP and UASI program and/or in conjunction with emergency preparedness training by other federal agencies (e.g., HHS and Department of Transportation [DOT]). Training conducted using HSGP funds should address a performance gap identified through an Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) or other assessments (e.g., National Emergency Communications Plan Goal Assessments) and contribute to building a capability that will be evaluated through a formal exercise. When developing new courses, recipients are encouraged to apply the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and

67 67 | Page

Evaluation model of instructional design.

4. Law Enforcement Readiness

SHSP or UASI grant funds may be requested and may be approved on a case-by-case basis for immigration enforcement training in support of the border security mission. Requests for training will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and can only be used for certification in the section 287(g) program provided by DHS/ICE. SHSP or UASI subrecipients with agreements under section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)) to receive delegated authority for immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions may also be reimbursed for section 287(g) related operational activities with approval from FEMA on a case- by-case basis.

e. Maintenance and Sustainment
Maintenance and sustainment related costs are allowed under this program only as described in the Preparedness Grants Manual
.

f. Travel
Domestic travel costs are allowed under this program, as provided for in this NOFO.

International travel is not an allowable cost under this program unless approved in advance by DHS/FEMA. See the Allowable Cost Matrix above for more information on allowable travel activities under SHSP and UASI.

g. Personnel
Personnel hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant to perform allowable HSGP planning, organization, training, exercise, and equipment activities. All recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds, including SHSP and UASI allocations, may not use more than 50% of their awards to pay for personnel activities unless a waiver is approved by FEMA. For more information on the 50% personnel cap, please see FEMA IB 421b ,
Clarification on the Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement of Homeland Security Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-412) – the PRICE Act.

HSGP funds may not be used to support the hiring of any personnel to fulfill traditional public health and safety duties nor to supplant traditional public health and safety positions and responsibilities. The following definitions apply to personnel costs:
• Hiring. State and local entities may use grant funding to cover the salary of newly hired personnel who are exclusively undertaking allowable FEMA grant activities as specified in this guidance. This may not include new personnel who are hired to fulfill any non- FEMA HSGP program activities under any circumstances. Hiring will always result in a net increase of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees.
• Overtime. These expenses are limited to the additional costs that result from personnel working over and above 40 hours of weekly work time as the direct result of their performance of FEMA-approved activities specified in this guidance. Overtime associated with any other activity is not eligible.
• Backfill-Related Overtime. Also called “Overtime as Backfill,” these expenses are limited to overtime costs that result from personnel who are working overtime (as

68 68 | Page

identified above) to perform the duties of other personnel who are temporarily assigned to FEMA-approved activities outside their core responsibilities. Neither overtime nor backfill expenses are the result of an increase of FTE employees. • Supplanting. Grant funds will be used to supplement existing funds and will not replace (supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Applicants or recipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non- federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.

1. Operational Overtime
Costs

In support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events, operational overtime costs are allowable for increased protective security measures at critical infrastructure sites or other high-risk locations and to enhance public safety during mass gatherings and high-profile events. In that regard, HSGP recipients are urged to consider using grant funding to support soft target preparedness activities.

SHSP or UASI funds may be used to support select operational expenses associated with increased security measures in the authorized categories cited in the table below, but this table is not exhaustive. FEMA retains the discretion to approve other types of requests that do not fit within one of the categories of the table.

Authorized Operational Overtime Categories

Category Description
1 National Terrorism
Advisory System
(NTAS)
Security measures in response to an increase in the threat level under the NTAS to an “elevated” or “imminent” alert status.

FEMA Information Bulletin No. 367,
Impact of National
Terrorism Advisory System on Homeland Security Grant
Programs, remains applicable; therefore, advance authorization from FEMA is not required. Refer to National Terrorism
Advisory System | Homeland Security (dhs.gov) for additional information on the NTAS.
2 National Security
Special Event
(NSSE)
Security measures for a designated NSSE. NSSEs are events of national or international significance deemed by DHS to be a potential target for terrorism or other criminal activity. 3 Special Event
Assessment Rating
(SEAR) Level 1
through Level 4
Events
Security measures required for SEAR Level 1 through Level 4 events as designated by DHS and included in the DHS National Special Events List, as defined below:
• SEAR 1: A significant event with national and/or

Category Description
• SEAR 3: An event of national and/or international
importance that requires only limited federal support.
• SEAR 4: An event with limited national importance that is managed at state and local level.

NOTE: In cases where a threat of terrorism can be associated with a SEAR Level 5 event, the event planners should
coordinate with their state or territory Homeland Security Advisor to seek re-adjudication of the SEAR rating. Operational overtime for security measures associated with such events will be considered for approval by FEMA if re-adjudication results in a SEAR 1 through 4 rating.
4 States of Emergency
Declarations of states of emergency by the Governor associated with a terrorism-related threat or incident. This excludes Presidentially declared major disasters or emergencies where federal funding support for the proposed grant-funded activity is made available through the FEMA Public Assistance program or other federal disaster grants.
5 National Critical
Infrastructure
Prioritization
Program (NCIPP)
Protection of Level 1 and Level 2 facilities identified through DHS’s NCIPP based on a terrorism-related threat to critical infrastructure.
6 Directed Transit
Patrols
Targeted security patrols in airports and major transit hubs based on a terrorism-related threat to transportation systems. 7 Other Related
Personnel Overtime
Costs
Overtime costs may be authorized for personnel assigned to directly support any of the security activities relating to the categories above. Examples include firefighters and emergency medical services personnel; public works employees who may be responsible for installing protective barriers and fencing; public safety personnel assigned to assist with event access and crowd control; emergency communications specialists; backfill and overtime for staffing state or major urban area fusion centers; state Active Duty National Guard deployments to protect critical infrastructure sites, including all resources that are part of the standard National Guard deployment package (note: consumable costs, such as fuel expenses, are not allowed except as part of the standard National Guard deployment package); contract security services for critical infrastructure sites; participation in Regional Resiliency Assessment Program activities, increased border security activities in coordination with USBP, etc.

Category Description
specifically requested by a federal agency. Allowable costs are limited to overtime associated with federally requested participation in eligible activities, including anti-terrorism task forces, Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), Area Maritime Security Committees (as required by the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002), DHS Border Enforcement Security Task Forces, and Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. In addition, reimbursement for operational overtime law enforcement activities related to combating transnational crime organizations in support of efforts to enhance capabilities for detecting, deterring, disrupting, and preventing acts of terrorism is an allowable expense under SHSP and UASI on a case-by- case basis. Grant funding can only be used in proportion to the federal man-hour estimate and only after funding for these activities from other federal sources (i.e., FBI JTTF payments to state and local agencies) has been exhausted.
9 Response to
Catastrophic
Incidents that are
Acts of Terrorism
Operational overtime is allowable for responding to acts of terrorism. This includes overtime accrued during the immediate response to events, such as mass casualty acts of targeted violence or other activities where the act (i) is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and (ii) is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States, and the act appears to be intended to coerce civilian populations, influence the policy of a government by
intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by mass destructions, assassination, or kidnapping.

All allowable operational overtime costs are also subject to the administration requirements outlined in the following subsection.

2. Administration of Operational Overtime Requests

• Except for an elevated NTAS alert, SHSP or UASI funds may only be spent for operational overtime costs upon prior written approval by FEMA. The SAA must submit operational overtime requests in writing to its assigned FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer.

FEMA will consider requests for special event activities up to one year in advance.

However such requests must be within the award’s current POP and must not result in the need for a request to extend the period of performance. SAAs should contact FEMA Grants News by e-mail at [email protected]
or by phone at (800) 368-
6498, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET, for clarification. • All operational overtime requests must clearly explain how the request meets the criteria of one or more of the categories listed in the table above. Requests must address the threat environment as it relates to the event or activity requiring operational overtime

71 71 | Page

support and explain how the overtime activity is responsive to the threat. Request letters sent to FEMA must be UNCLASSIFIED but may be labeled “For Official Use Only.” If explaining the threat will require the sharing of classified information, the letter should state that fact. FEMA will then plan for the sharing of classified information through official channels;
• Post-event operational overtime requests will only be considered on a case-by-case basis, where it is demonstrated that exigent circumstances prevented submission of a request in advance of the event or activity;
• Under no circumstances may FEMA grant funding be used to pay for costs already supported by funding from another federal source;
• States with UASI jurisdictions can use funds retained at the state level to reimburse eligible operational overtime expenses incurred by the state (per the above guidance limitations). Any UASI funds retained by the state must be used in direct support of the high-risk urban area. States must provide documentation to the UAWG and FEMA upon request demonstrating how any UASI funds retained by a state would directly support the high-risk urban area; and
• FEMA will consult and coordinate with appropriate DHS components as necessary to verify information used to support operational overtime requests.

h. Secure Identification
Secure identification costs are allowed under this program. SHSP funds may be used to support the implementation activities associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), including the issuance of WHTI-compliant tribal identification cards.

i. Multiple Purpose or Dual-Use of Funds
Please see the Preparedness Grants Manual for information on multiple purpose of dual-use of funds under SHSP and UASI.

C. OPSG Other Direct Costs
Recipients must comply with all the requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). In general, recipients should consult with their FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer prior to making any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria. Funding guidelines established within this section support four of the five mission areas—Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, and Response—and associated core capabilities within the Goal. While Recovery is part of the Goal, it is not explicitly part of the HSGP. Allowable investments made in support of the national priorities, as well as other capability-enhancing projects must have a nexus to terrorism preparedness and fall into the categories of planning, organization, exercises, training, or equipment, aligned to building capability, closing capability gaps, and/or sustaining capabilities, as defined by CPG 201: THIRA/SPR Guide—3rd Edition ( Comprehensive
Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, 3rd Edition (fema.gov)). Recipients are encouraged to use grant funds for evaluating grant-funded project effectiveness and return on investment. FEMA encourages recipients to provide the results of that analysis to FEMA. a. Planning
Planning costs are allowed under this program only as described in this funding notice. See the Allowable Cost Matrix above for more information on allowable planning activities for OPSG.

c. Equipment
Equipment costs are allowed under this program only as described in this funding notice and the Preparedness Grants Manual
.

OPSG equipment is intended to be incidental to the enhanced border security operations being performed. The grant is not intended to be used to outfit or supply general equipment to SLTT law enforcement agencies. Equipment must be relatable to and justified by the operational benefit it will provide. Each appropriate OPSG sector coordinator is required to keep an inventory of OPSG purchased equipment that includes at a minimum: 1) grant funding year; 2) purchase amount; 3) purchase date; 4) purchase quantity; 5) equipment ID; 6) source of funding for the property, including the Federal Award Identification Number; 7) who holds title to the property; 8) federal share percent of the property; 9) location of the property; 10) use and condition of the property; 11) disposal date; and 12) brief disposal justification information and sale price if sold. Each Operations Order/FRAGO will require that each friendly force submit the equipment inventory for each Operations Order/FRAGO submission.

1. Equipment Marking. Because equipment purchased with OPSG funding is intended to be used to support OPSG activities, it may be appropriately marked to ensure its ready identification and primary use for that purpose. When practicable, any equipment purchased with OPSG funding should be prominently marked as follows: "Purchased with DHS funds for Operation Stonegarden Use."

2. Fuel Cost and Mileage Reimbursement. There is no cap for reimbursement of fuel or mileage costs in support of operational activities. Subrecipients and friendly forces may not claim reimbursements for both mileage and fuel/maintenance for the same equipment at the same time.

3. Vehicle and Equipment Acquisition, Including Leasing and Rentals . Allowable purchases under OPSG include patrol vehicles and other mission-specific equipment whose primary purpose is to increase operational capabilities on or near a border nexus in support of approved border security operations. A detailed justification must be submitted to the respective FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer prior to purchase.

4. Medical Emergency Countermeasures. Allowable purchases under OPSG include narcotic antagonist pharmaceuticals, detection and identification equipment, safe storage and transportation, personnel protective equipment, and initial equipment training, as reflected in the AEL.

1. Requirements for sUAS

sUAS are allowable under the HSGP. See the Preparedness Grants Manual for more information.

2. General Purpose Equipment

73 73 | Page

HSGP allows expenditures on general purpose equipment if it aligns to and supports one or more core capabilities identified in the Goal and has a nexus to terrorism preparedness. General purpose equipment, like all equipment funded under the HSGP, must be sharable through the EMAC
6 and allowable under 6 U.S.C. § 609, and any other applicable provision of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended. Examples of such general-purpose equipment may include:

• Fire service equipment and vehicles, to include hose, pump accessories, and foam concentrate for specialized chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear/explosive (CBRNE) response;
• Interoperability of data systems, such as CAD and RMS; and • Office equipment for staff
7 engaged in homeland security program activity.

3. Controlled Equipment

For decades, the federal government has provided equipment to state, local, and tribal LEAs through federal grants. Some federal grant programs have assisted LEAs as they carry out their critical missions to keep the American people safe. The equipment acquired by LEAs through these programs includes administrative equipment, such as office furniture and computers. Some federal grant programs also may include military and military-styled equipment, firearms, and tactical vehicles provided by the federal government, including property covered under 22 C.F.R.

Part 121 and 15 C.F.R. Part 774 (collectively, "controlled equipment").

However, not all equipment that is considered controlled equipment is allowable under the HSGP. Grant funds under this program may not be used for the purchase of equipment not approved by DHS/FEMA. For example, the purchase of tracked armored vehicles, camouflage uniforms, weapons, and weapons accessories, including ammunition, is generally not allowed with HSGP funds.

DHS/FEMA will continue to collaborate with federal agency partners to ensure that there is a consistent and reasonable approach to the restrictions placed on certain equipment expenditures while continuing to support these investments when there is a justifiable need. Further, DHS/FEMA will continue to maintain an awareness of the evolving policy developments related to certain equipment expenditures and keep grant recipients up to date on future developments.

Additional information on controlled equipment is pending publication. Please visit FEMA’s website for current and upcoming guidance.

4. Construction and Renovation

g. Personnel
Personnel hiring, overtime, and backfill expenses are permitted under this grant to perform allowable HSGP planning, organization, training, exercise, and equipment activities. Under OPSG, overtime costs are allowable only in so far as they meet the intent of the program. All recipients and subrecipients of HSGP funds, including OPSG allocations, may not use more than 50% of their awards to pay for personnel activities unless a waiver is approved by FEMA. For more information on the 50% personnel cap, please see FEMA IB 421b , Clarification on the
Personnel Reimbursement for Intelligence Cooperation and Enhancement of Homeland Security Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-412 – the PRICE Act).

75 75 | Page

Further, changes in scope or objective also require FEMA’s prior written approval pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.308(c)(1). If the cost changes are allowable under the grant, a FRAGO must be submitted to Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) to obtain FEMA’s prior written approval of such changes in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.308(c)(1). These modifications will be annotated in the annex section of the FRAGO.

OPSG funds may be used for domestic travel and per diem, including costs associated with the deployment/redeployment of personnel to border areas and for travel associated with law enforcement entities assisting other local jurisdictions in law enforcement activities. In addition, allowable costs include supporting up to six-month deployment of law enforcement personnel to critical Southwest Border locations for operational activities (travel costs must be in accordance with applicable travel regulations).

OPSG funds may be used to pay additional current part-time law enforcement personnel salaries to bring them to temporary full-time status. OPSG funds may support a Governor’s request to activate, deploy, or redeploy specialized National Guard Units/Package and/or elements of state law enforcement serving as friendly forces to increase or augment specialized/technical law enforcement elements’ operational activities. Costs associated with backfill for personnel supporting operational activities are allowable.

As with all OPSG personnel costs, OPSG grant funds will be used to supplement existing funds and will not replace (supplant) funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose.

Applicants or recipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.

1. Operational Overtime Costs

OPSG funds should be used for operational overtime costs associated with law enforcement activities in support of border law enforcement agencies for enhanced border security. Overtime pay is for increased patrol time for certified public safety officers, along with limited support for other law enforcement direct support personnel (e.g., Communication Officers/Dispatchers, non- sworn patrol pilots, etc.). Overtime shall be reimbursed consistent with the non-federal entity’s overtime policy and the requirements as stated below:
• Overtime is time worked that exceeds the required number of hours during an employee’s designated shift;
• Overtime must be worked to increase patrol capacity and be in support of identified and approved USBP border security operations;
• The OPSG overtime hourly rate of pay will be no more than the approved overtime rate per local law and policy and must be in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations;
• All overtime expenses under OPSG must be reasonable for the services rendered and conform to the non-federal entity’s established written policy, which must apply to both federally funded and non-federally funded activities and comply with the other applicable requirements under 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.430-200.431; and

76 76 | Page

• The non-federal entity may not utilize OPSG funding to pay for an employee’s overtime hours or pay that exceeds 16-hours worked in any 24-hour period.

2. Intelligence Support

Per 6 U.S.C. § 609(a), OPSG funds may, as applicable and operationally beneficial, be used to pay salaries and benefits or overtime for personnel to serve as qualified Intelligence Analysts to enable and enhance information/intelligence sharing capabilities, as well as support existing intelligence analysts previously covered by OPSG funding. Qualified OPSG-funded intelligence analysts can be assigned to an applicable law enforcement facility/intelligence function as long as information/intelligence sharing is maintained. To serve as an OPSG-funded intelligence analyst, personnel must meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Complete training to ensure baseline proficiency in intelligence analysis and production within six months of being hired; and/or,
• Previously served as an intelligence analyst for a minimum of two years either in a federal intelligence agency, the military, or state and/or local law enforcement intelligence unit.

OPSG-funded intelligence analysts must demonstrate qualifications that meet or exceed competencies identified in the Common Competencies for state, local, and tribal intelligence analysts, which outlines the minimum categories of training needed for intelligence analysts. A certificate of completion of such training must be on file with the SAA and must be made available to the recipient’s respective FEMA HQ Preparedness Officer upon request.

h. Regional Border Projects
Recipients are encouraged to prioritize the acquisition and development of regional projects on the borders to maximize interoperability and coordination capabilities among federal agencies and with state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners. Such regional projects include:

1. Communications equipment;

2. Radio systems and repeaters;

3. Integration with regional intelligence and information sharing effort (i.e., fusion centers):
• Intelligence analysts.

4. Situational Awareness equipment:
• License Plate Reader Networks;
• Visual detection and surveillance systems;
• Sensor Systems;
• Radar Systems (for air and/or marine incursions); and • Aircraft systems (manned or unmanned).

i. Transportation Costs and Costs Related to the Provision of Acute Medical Care Vehicle, fuel, mileage, operational overtime, and other types of costs otherwise allowable under an OPSG award’s HSGP NOFO are allowable where the costs are in support of the necessary transportation of individuals interdicted while carrying out allowable OPSG-funded activities or operations from the point of interdiction to an applicable law enforcement facility.

When transporting individuals interdicted in the course of carrying out allowable OPSG-funded

77 77 | Page

activities or operations from the point of interdiction, non-Federal entities may charge vehicle, fuel, mileage, operational overtime, and other types of costs otherwise allowable under an OPSG award’s HSGP NOFO associated with necessary transportation to provide acute medical care for individuals being transported from the point of interdiction. In such cases, non-Federal entities may also charge operational overtime for personnel that monitor a detained individual receiving acute medical care where the individual remains in the custody of the non-Federal law enforcement agency. Costs incurred beyond the acute phase of medical care (e.g., upon admission to the hospital, or after transfer from an acute care facility to the hospital) and costs incurred once the custodial responsibility of the individual is transferred to CBP are not allowable under OPSG.

Costs described above are allowable regardless of what entity or agency initially makes the interdiction. Personnel costs incurred by non-Federal law enforcement agencies eligible under OPSG (including deputies, corrections officers, or detention officers) for costs described above are allowable.

j. Temporary or Term Appointments
Temporary or term appointments are allowable under an OPSG award, so long as they comply with the following:

1. Subrecipients may utilize temporary or term appointments to augment the law enforcement presence on the borders. However, applying funds toward hiring full-time or permanent sworn public safety officers is unallowable;

2. OPSG-funded temporary or term appointments may not exceed the approved period of performance:
• For OPSG purposes, temporary appointments are non-status appointments for less than one year; and
• For OPSG purposes, term appointments are non-status appointments for one year, extendable for one year as necessary.

3. OPSG funding for temporary or term appointments may pay for salary only. Benefits are not allowable expenses for term or temporary employees;

4. OPSG remains a non-hiring program. Appropriate uses of temporary or term appointments include:
• To carry out specific enforcement operations work for ongoing OPSG-funded patrols throughout the Sector Area of Operation;
• To staff operations of limited duration, such as OPSG-enhanced enforcement patrols targeting specific locations or criminal activity; and
• To fill OPSG positions in activities undergoing transition or personnel shortages and local backfill policies (medical/military deployments).

5. OPSG term and temporary appointments must have all necessary certifications and training to enforce state and local laws. OPSG funds will not be used to train or certify term or temporary appointments except as otherwise stated in this NOFO and the Preparedness Grants Manual; and

6. FEMA provides no guarantee of funding for temporary or term appointments. In addition to the terms of this NOFO, subrecipients must follow their own applicable policies and procedures regarding temporary or term appointments.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 2/17/2026 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Acceptance and authorization for staff to File the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Reports as of 12/31/25.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 12/31/25.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 12/31/25.

BACKGROUND:

Quarterly Investment Report
The City has approximately $139.1 million in investments and cash, across all funds, as of 12/31/25.

Recent Activity
The City actively maintains a minimum balance of $3.5 million in its Wells Fargo cash accounts.

Meeder, the City’s portfolio manager, continues to reinvest proceeds as securities mature. Longer- term securities are currently being selected to lock in higher interest rates as the Federal Reserve continues to reduce rates. The portfolio is well positioned to achieve competitive yields while maintaining a balanced maturity structure, with investments ranging from overnight to five-year terms.

Current Investment Environment
At the October meeting, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25%, lowering the target range for the federal funds rate from 4.00%-4.25 % to 3.75%-4.00% as policymakers responded to signs of a weakening labor market and broader economic uncertainty.

The easing cycle continued at the December meeting where the Federal Reserve cut interest rates another 0.25%, bringing the federal funds target range down to 3.50%-3.75%. This was the third rate cut of 2025, reinforcing the shift toward a more accommodative monetary stance amid continued labor market softness and risks to growth.

In total, interest rates were lowered twice for a combined reduction of 0.50%, as it balanced slowing economic signals with its goals of price stability and maximum employment.

The 10-year Treasury note interest ended the year at approximately 4.18%, down from 4.58% at the end of 2024.

Future Actions
The City's portfolio will be actively managed and re-invested as securities mature. As idle cash is available, the City will deposit to the US Bank custody account to be invested by Meeder. A review of the investment pool interest rates will occur as LAIF tends to achieve higher yields during rate-cutting environments due to their investments in longer average maturity securities. Meeder provides Staff with in depth quarterly reviews and timely economic updates as available.

Summary
The primary purpose of the City’s cash is to provide residents of Hanford with services. In order to maximize the earnings potential on the City’s idle cash, the City utilizes Meeder to actively monitor the portfolio and purchase low-risk investments which will provide a higher return versus allowing the cash to be held in savings accounts earning little to no interest. Additionally, idle cash is also held with government pools, including the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), Tulare County Investment Pool and CLASS. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide a high investment return with a high level of security (low risk) while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This item is informational. Investing the City's cash will generate continual interest earnings on the investment portfolio.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 2/17/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution 26-07-R to present to voters a measure to amend the municipal code and increase the transient occupancy tax to twelve percent.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Adoption of Resolution 26-07-R in support of introducing an ordinance increasing Transient Occupancy Tax from eight percent (8%) to twelve (12%); and ordering the submittal of the ordinance via a tax measure to the voters at the primary election on June 2, 2026.

Recommended Motion: I move to adopt Resolution 26-07-R in support of introducing an ordinance increasing Transient Occupancy Tax from eight percent (8%) to twelve (12%); and ordering the submittal of the ordinance via a tax measure to the voters at the primary election on June 2, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

At the February 3, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare the necessary documents for submission to the Kings County Elections office to present a measure to the voters for a general tax increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT or Hotel Tax) from its current eight percent (8%) to twelve percent (12%). Staff is now returning to the City Council with a resolution approving various actions related to a proposed measure for the primary election to be held on June 2, 2026.

1. Calling of the June 2, 2026, primary election for a ballot measure to present to voters a measure to amend chapter 3.24 of the municipal code to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax from eight percent (8%) to twelve percent (12%).

In accordance with the California Elections Code, the Council must adopt a resolution by March 6, 2026, to call an election that will occur on June 2, 2026. At this election, a measure proposing an increase to the City’s Transient Occupancy Tax will be submitted to the City’s qualified voters.

By calling the election, the City Council is presenting a measure proposing a four percent (4%) increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT or Hotel Tax) in Hanford – a proposed increase from eight percent (8%) to twelve percent (12%). The proposed TOT increase and measure is for a general tax, available for general fund use and not legally restricted to a particular use. Approval of the four percent (4%) TOT increase will require a ‘yes’ vote by a simple majority of votes cast on the measure at the June 2, 2026, primary election.

2. Approving ballot measure description

Elections Code section 9051 limits the text of ballot measure questions to be submitted to voters to 75 words, not including the title. The proposed question to be placed on the ballot for Council consideration is as follows:

CITY OF HANFORD TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX MEASURE: Shall a measure be adopted amending the Hanford Municipal Code to increase the maximum rate of the City’s Transient Occupancy (Hotel) Tax paid by hotel and vacation rental guests from 8% to 12%, providing approximately $375,000 annually, for City general services, including, without limitation, police, fire, parks and recreation, maintaining public infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, parks and facilities, and general government use, until ended by voters?"

YES NO

3. Authorizing the City Attorney to prepare the impartial analysis

In accordance with the Elections Code section 9280, the City Council is directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure showing the effect of the measure on the existing law and the operation of the measure. The analysis shall include a statement indicating whether the measure was placed on the ballot by a petition signed by the requisite number of votes or by the City Council. The analysis shall be printed in the voters’ pamphlet preceding the arguments for and against the measure and shall not exceed 500 words in length.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The anticipated costs to the City associated with placing this measure on the June 2, 2026 Primary Election ballot include the City Attorney’s time to assist with document preparation, staff time, and costs from the County Elections Office. Staff would estimate total costs to be between $60,000 to $80,000.

The Ordinance to be enacted to implement the Measure, if the Measure is approved by the voters, will not be printed in the sample ballot and voter’s pamphlet. However, the full text of the Measure and the full text of the Ordinance will be made available at the Office of the Kings County Registrar of Voters and the Office of the City Clerk.

The calling and noticing of a Special Election for the submission of a ballot measure to voters is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

The transient occupancy tax increase submitted to the voters is a general tax that can be used for any governmental purpose; it is not a commitment to any particular action or actions.

As such, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), the tax is not a project within the meaning of CEQA because it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

4 SECTION 14. Severability.

The City Council of the City of Hanford hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional and, to that end, the provisions hereof are hereby declared to be severable.

Ordinance 2026-XX
City of Hanford Transient Occupancy Tax Ordinance of 2026

AN ORDINANCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF HANFORD, CALIFORNIA AMENDING HANFORD MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 3.24.030 TO INCREASE THE CITY’S TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX RATE FROM EIGHT PERCENT (8%) TO TWELVE PERCENT (12%) EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2026.

WHEREAS, the City of Hanford’s prime responsibilities are to protect the public’s safety, maintain fiscal stability, and provide a high quality of life for its residents; and

WHEREAS, over the last several years the State of California has gone from one financial crisis to another with no end in sight; and

WHEREAS, during each of the past several years the State of California has reduced or taken funding from cities, counties, and school districts in order to fund its deficits and may continue to do so into the foreseeable future; and

WHEREAS, the State of California has shifted responsibility for many programs back to cities, like Hanford, without the necessary funds to provide the services residents need and expect; and

WHEREAS, transient occupancy tax revenues, which have been a source of locally controlled funds available to pay for essential City services, are limited; and

WHEREAS, the City of Hanford needs dependable and local sources of revenue to fund and to support essential, necessary, and appropriate general City services provided to the public; and

WHEREAS, the City’s general fund expenditures are projected to increase due to inflationary costs and unfunded mandates from the state in the near future causing the City to have challenges to maintain all levels of service and will not have capacity to fund facilities that are necessary to deliver services that the community desires; and

WHEREAS, a local funding measure to increase transient occupancy tax revenues would provide an additional local revenue source to help maintain and limit or prevent additional future cuts to essential, necessary, and appropriate general City services; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code section 7280, et seq., the City of Hanford (“City”) has the authority to levy a transient occupancy tax (“TOT”) upon the privilege of occupying a hotel, as defined in Chapter 3.24 of the City’s Municipal Code, for a period of 30 days or less; and

WHEREAS, the City’s TOT rate is currently eight percent (8%). Many nearby jurisdictions have a TOT rate between ten percent (10%) and twelve percent (12%). At this time, the City’s TOT rate is less than each of the following jurisdictions: Visalia, Porterville, Tulare,

Fresno, Selma, and Kingsburg; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to increase its TOT from the existing eight percent (8%) to twelve percent (12%) effective July 1, 2026; and

WHEREAS, this measure will give the City of Hanford local control over local funds for local needs and no funds from this measure can be taken by Sacramento.

NOW THEREFORE, the people of the City of Hanford do ordain as follows:

Section 1. Hanford Municipal Code Section 3.24.030 is amended to state:

§ 3.24.030. Tax imposed.

For the privilege of occupancy in any hotel, each transient shall be subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of eight percent (8%) of the rent charged by the operator. Effective July 1, 2026, such tax shall be in the amount of twelve percent (12%). Such tax shall constitute a debt owed by the transient to the city, which debt shall be extinguished only by payment to the operator or to the city. The transient shall pay the tax to the operator of the hotel at the time the rent is paid. If the rent is paid in installments, a proportionate share of the tax shall be paid with each installment.

The unpaid tax shall be due upon the transient's ceasing to occupy space in the hotel. If for any reason the tax due is not paid to the operator of the hotel, the director of finance may require that such tax be paid directly to the director of finance.

Section 2. This Ordinance has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations), and the City’s environmental procedures. The City has determined that this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) because the city council hereby finds with certainty that there is no possibility the passage of this Ordinance will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment nor have a significant effect on the environment

Section 3. If any section, subsection, clause, sentence, word, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid and/or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of remaining portions of this Ordinance. The city council declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each of the provisions thereof irrespective of the fact that one or more such provisions, sections, subsection, phrases, or clauses be declared invalid and/or unconstitutional.

Section 4. If this Ordinance is approved by a majority of the electors voting on the issue at the June 2, 2026, primary municipal election, pursuant to Elections Code Section 9217, the Ordinance shall become effective ten (10) days after the city council accepts the certified results of the election.

Section 5. The city clerk is hereby directed to publish this Ordinance at least once, within fifteen (15) days after the election results are certified, in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Hanford.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED, on this second (2nd) day of June 2026.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 2/17/2026 AGENDA SECTION: GENERAL BUSINESS

SUBJECT:

Council Direction Regarding Single-Family Residential Development Standards

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Provide input on the Objective Design Standards for single-family development BACKGROUND:

In March 2025, the City of Hanford initiated a project to draft Objective Design Standards for single- family development. This project is one component of a larger project also aiming to draft an Environmental Justice Element and updated Subdivision Regulations for the City and is funded through the REAP 2.0 Local Suballocation Grant Program. Mintier Harnish was selected as the consulting firm to prepare project documents.

This goal of this project is to increase housing choice and affordability by ensuring that all single- family housing projects can be reviewed objectively, without bias, while promoting designs that enhance community livability. Objective design standards will ensure a more predictable, transparent, and consistent residential development approval process for developers, permit applicants, decision- makers, City staff, and the public, thereby removing barriers to housing production.

Outreach for this project has consisted of interviews and meetings with local developers and City staff. In July 2025, Mintier Harnish initiated an audit of existing City design standards and guidelines with City Planning staff to determine which guidelines and standards should be considered for inclusion with or without modifications in the draft Objective Design Standards for single-family development. In August 2025, City staff and Mintier Harnish conducted one-on-one interviews with local stakeholders from the development community and Public Works Department to gain an understanding of conditions, issues, and opportunities as it relates to residential development in the city.

At this stage, staff is presenting all input received from developer stakeholders, the Public Works department, and City Planning staff, as well as a summary of recommendations to consider in the drafting of the Objective Design Standards for single-family development.

Developers emphasized the need for increased flexibility, cost reduction, and improved project feasibility. Key themes included:

Dimensional Standards
• Reduce minimum lot size to 2,500 square feet.
• Reduce rear setbacks to 10 feet (including two-story homes). • Reduce side setbacks to 3–5 feet.
• Allow front setback flexibility (±7 feet from the garage setback). • Reduce park strip width from 7 feet to 2 feet.

Garage and Site Design
• Increase maximum allowable garage frontage to 75 percent to allow two-car garages on smaller homes.

Open Space
• Reduce minimum open space width to 10 feet.
• Allow a combination of private and shared open space.

Design Controls
• Avoid specific exterior color requirements, citing concerns that color standards are subjective and limit flexibility.

Process and Cost Considerations
• Streamline plan check and approval timelines.

Developers indicated that these changes would improve the financial feasibility of smaller-lot housing products and better align local standards with current market demand.

Planning staff emphasized the importance of predictable, objective standards that maintain neighborhood quality and long-term consistency.

Key recommendations include:

Zoning-Based Standards
• Govern setbacks, height, lot size, fencing, and landscaping through zoning districts.

• Convert subjective language (“should”) to objective, enforceable standards (“shall”).

Design Quality and Consistency
• Require variation in building materials and/or colors. • Ensure consistency across buildings within the same project. • Limit the number of colors per project.

Open Space
• Maintain minimum open space requirements of 250–400 square feet per unit. • Require a minimum width of 15 feet to ensure usability.

Streetscape and Pedestrian Orientation
• Require windows along street frontages.
• Require a walkway from the sidewalk to the primary front entry.

Fence and Architectural Standards
• Require transparency for front fences over three feet in height. • Define acceptable roof styles and roofing materials.

Downtown-Specific Standards
• Provide objective design standards tailored to the downtown area to ensure cohesive infill development.

Staff’s position is that objective standards provide predictability for applicants while protecting neighborhood character and ensuring long-term community quality.

The final Objective Design Standards will be brought to the Planning Commission and City Council for formal approval at a later date. Once adopted, this document will provide design guidance for single-family developments in the city.
