Homeland Security Grant Program September 15, 2015 Page 2 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. 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 award amount has steadily decreased from a high of $25,254,334 in 2004 to the current FY 2015 award of $4,400,000.
