<br />FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005
<br />
<br />required to build and sustain the capabilities analyzed in the Program and Capability Review.
<br />The Enhancement Plan is intended to serve as an enterprise-wide program management plan
<br />for the State homeland security program. It is not linked to or associated with one particular
<br />grant program or funding stream. Rather, it is intended to look globally at the prioritized
<br />needs of the State homeland security program across all Urban Areas, jurisdictions, and
<br />disciplines.
<br />
<br />6. Investment Justification: States will use the Program and Capability Enhancement Plan to
<br />identify areas from their Enhancement Plan for which they wish to utilize FY 2006 HSGP
<br />funding. States will develop an Investment Justification to request FY 2006 HSGP funds for
<br />those areas from the Enhancement Plan they have identified as priorities to use FY 2006
<br />HSGP funding in the near-term. An Investment Justification template will be provided to the
<br />States to facilitate the application submission process. In the Investment Justification
<br />template, States will outline which Initiatives identified in their Enhancement Plans they
<br />wish to support in whole or in part through FY 2006 HSGP funding.
<br />
<br />The Investment Justification template includes blank worksheets for States and Urban Areas
<br />to complete that are divided into the following four sections:
<br />
<br />. Background.
<br />. Regionalization.
<br />. Impact.
<br />. Funding and Implementation Plan.
<br />
<br />States and Urban Areas must submit an individual worksheet within the Investment
<br />Justification template for each investment they are requesting FY 2006 SHSP, UASI,
<br />LETPP, MMRS, and CCP funding. The template also includes a summary sheet that is
<br />populated automatically with information from the individual investment worksheets.
<br />
<br />A maximum of 15 investments may be submitted per State. Additionally, Urban Areas will
<br />also be allowed to propose up to 15 investments to request UASI funds, separate from the 15
<br />State investments. While States and Urban Areas will develop their own investments, the
<br />Urban Area investments must be included as part of the overall State application.
<br />States and Urban Areas are strongly encouraged to coordinate with each other to present an
<br />application that represents a collaborative, integrated approach, and to avoid duplication of
<br />efforts. The sum of the investments must account for all FY 2006 HSGP funding the States
<br />and Urban Areas are requesting across all programs.
<br />
<br />The Investment Justification will be used to review applications for completeness, adherence
<br />to programmatic guidelines, feasibility, and how well the proposed solution addresses the
<br />need identified in the Enhancement Plan. The Investment Justification will also be used to
<br />score applications and make funding decisions for the needs-based component ofHSGP.
<br />Evaluation points will include:
<br />
<br />· Relevance to the Goal, National Priorities, Target Capabilities, State/Urban Area
<br />Homeland Security Strategy goals and objectives, and Enhancement Plan Initiatives.
<br />. Regionalization and effective collaboration.
