FY2023 Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Funding Program May 2, 2023 Page 2 3 4 0 9 Award amounts for each Urban Area are determined using a methodology assessing relative risk of terrorism, in accordance with the 9/11 Act. Over the years, Congress has steadily decreased the amount of funding allocated to the UASI Grant Program. As a result, the total number of Urban Areas and the award amounts have been greatly reduced. Santa Ana’s UASI award amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to the current award amount of $5,113,750 for FY 2023. For the FY 2023 UASI grant program the City of Santa Ana will be awarded funding in the amount of $5,113,750, of which $835,000 is obligated to the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center. The FY 2023 grant will cover the period of September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The State of California, California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) anticipates finalizing the grant award agreements by the end of the 4th Quarter, 2023. Upon receipt of the official award letter or agreement from Cal OES, the grant award will be presented to City Council for appropriation of the funds in the FY 23-24 budget.
