FY 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program Funding May 4, 2021 Page 2 6 7 7 will continue to be designated as an Urban Area Core City and will share grant administrative responsibilities with the City of Anaheim. The City of Santa Ana Police Department has worked with the City of Anaheim, the County of Orange, and cities within the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area to determine current capabilities and needs, and have established goals and objectives for the Anaheim/Santa Ana Urban Area. The Police Department will work in collaboration with the City of Anaheim to develop projects and implement complimentary strategies for responding to acts of terrorism. In addition to new projects, much of the grant award is allocated to sustainment projects, personnel cost, and training and exercises. Total funding for the UASI Grant Program is established through an Appropriation Act set forth by Congress. 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 DHS and subsequently 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 $4,993,750 for FY2021. For the FY2021 UASI grant program, the City of Santa Ana will be awarded funding in the amount of $4,993,750 of which, $715,000 is obligated to the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center. The FY 2021 grant will cover the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
