Fiscal Year 2023 Homeland Security Grant Program <br />October 1, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />4 <br />5 <br />7 <br />5 <br />Total funding for the UASI Grant Program is established through an Appropriation Act <br />set forth by Congress. Award amounts for each Urban Area are determined using a <br />methodology assessing relative risk of terrorism, in accordance with the 9/11 Act. Over <br />the years, Congress has steadily decreased the amount of funding allocated to DHS <br />and subsequently the UASI Grant Program. As a result, the total number of Urban <br />Areas and the award amounts have been greatly reduced. Santa Ana’s UASI award <br />amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to the current award <br />amount of $5,113,750 for FY 2023. <br />Of the current award, $835,000 is obligated to the Orange County Intelligence <br />Assessment Center. Other projects to be funded by this grant includes the “If You See <br />Something, Say Something” campaign, Ready OC Preparedness campaign, portable <br />vehicle barriers, and training and exercises for the Orange County area.
