<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURfTY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 <br /> <br />II. PROGRAM GUIDANCE <br /> <br />A. Overview <br /> <br />The following section highlights important guidance, policy, and coordination requirements, as <br />well as a broad discussion of allowable costs applicable across all programs through the FY 2006 <br />HSGP. Applicants should pay close attention to the language in this section as this year's HSGP <br />guidance has been adjusted to reflect the new strategic context of the Goal and the National <br />Priorities. <br /> <br />The FY 2006 HSGP continues the streamlined approach employed in FY 2005 with the inclusion <br />of multiple grant programs in a single solicitation. This consolidation helps ensure that all <br />available funding is leveraged for maximum impact. The integration of these programs also <br />strengthens the coordination across the various programs and encourages regional preparedness <br />efforts in support of implementing the Goal. 8 State and Urban Area Homeland Security <br />Strategies were recently updated to reflect the Goal, and will continue to serve as the overarching <br />guide for homeland security efforts as the Goal is finalized. These strategy updates represent an <br />important first step in transitioning to the common framework for building, sustaining, and <br />improving national preparedness for a broad range of threats and hazards that is envisioned in the <br />Goal. While developing the application for the FY 2006 HSGP, grantees are encouraged to look <br />across all available support and assistance programs and leverage all available funding and <br />resources from multiple sources wherever possible. <br /> <br />Table I outlines the programs included in FY 2006 HSGP and the homeland security mission <br />areas each program supports. In addition, Appendix G illustrates in greater detail how each grant <br />program relates to the Goal and the TeL. <br /> <br />Table I - FY 2006 Homeland Security Grant Program <br /> <br />FY 2006 HSGP Program Overvic\\ Goal Mission <br />Arca <br /> SHSP supports the implementation of the State Homeland Common <br />State Homeland Security Strategy to address the identified planning, equipment, Activities, Prevent, <br />Security Program training, and exercise needs for acts of terrorism.
