FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 I. NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS A. The FY 2006 Homeland Security Grant Program The FY 2006 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) integrates the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI), the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP), the Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS), and the Citizen Corps Program (CCP). This combined FY 2006 HSGP Program Guidance and Application Kit builds upon the FY 2005 HSGP to streamline efforts for States and Urban Areas in obtaining resources that are critical to building and sustaining capabilities to achieve the Interim National Preparedness Goal (the Goal) and implement State and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies. 1 Several significant changes in the HSGP and its focus are being made for FY 2006. First, this marks the first grant cycle in which the Interim National Preparedness Goal is in place to outline National Priorities and focus expenditures on building capabilities. This common planning framework and the tools that support it allow the Nation to define target levels of performance and measure progress made toward achieving them. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is adopting in FY 2006 a risk- and need-based approach to allocating funding for certain programs within HSGP. The aim is to allocate and apply these resources to generate the highest return on investment and, as a result, strengthen national preparedness in the most effective and efficient manner. In addition to integrating these new policy developments, the FY 2006 HSGP guidance: .
