<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005
<br />
<br />B. Eligible Applicants
<br />
<br />The FY 2006 HSGP integrates SHSP, UASI, LETPP, MMRS, and CCP into a single application
<br />kit. Funding from this combined program will significantly enhance the ability of States, Urban
<br />Areas, and local agencies to prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from threats and incidents
<br />of terrorism. The Governor of each State has designated a State Administrative Agency (SAA)
<br />to apply for and administer the funds under HSGP. II The SAA is the only agency eligible to
<br />apply for HSGP funds and is res~onsible for obligating HSGP funds to local units of government
<br />and other designated recipients. I
