Fiscal Year 2007 Homeland Security Grant Program and H.R. 1: Description and Analysis

Abstract

On January 5, 2007, the Office for Grants and Training - within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - issued the FY2007 Homeland Security Grant Program: Program Guidance and Application Kit, to states and localities. On January 10, 2007, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1 - "Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007." The FY2007 guidance provides information on how the department intends to allocate Homeland Security Grant Program funding to states, urban areas, and U.S. insular areas. H.R. 1 proposes changes to the distribution methods the Department of Homeland Security uses to allocate some components the Homeland Security Grant Program funding. The Homeland Security Grant Program includes the State Homeland Security Grant Program, the Urban Area Security Initiative, the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program, the Metropolitan Medical Response System, and the Citizen Corps Program. H.R. 1, however, only addresses the State Homeland Security Grant Program, the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program, and the Urban Area Security Initiative distribution methods, and is silent on Metropolitan Medical Response System and Citizen Corps Program.
