FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM ~ DECEMBER 2, 2005 Governance: The geographical area identified through the data count represents the candidate Urban Area jurisdiction eligible to apply for funding under the FY 2006 UASI program. The geographical area must be part of the defined Urban Area and must be fully represented on the Urban Area Working Group. The SAA POC must determine appropriate representation for that geographic area to serve on the UA WG. The UA WG will be responsible for coordinating development and implementation of all program initiatives, including the Investment Justification, Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy development, the methodology for allocating funds (in coordination with the SAA), and any direct services that are delivered by G&T. Furthermore, where there is a RTSWG or an Area Maritime Security Committee active within the geographical area, the UA WG should include them as functional sub-committees to their organization. G&T strongly encourages that, wherever possible, previously established local working groups be leveraged for this purpose. Local MMRS and Citizen Corps Council representatives must be included as well. An overview of the UA WG structure and a list of members and their associated jurisdictions must be provided to G&T along with the grant application. Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy: Urban Areas must utilize their Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy and the State's Program and Capability Enhancement Plan as the basis for requesting funds to support Investments identified in the Investment Justification. There must be a clear correlation between the goals, objectives, and priorities identified in the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy and FY 2006 UASI program activities. In addition, the Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy must also be consistent with and supportive of the State Homeland Security Strategy and the Program and Capability Enhancement Plan submitted by the State as part ofthe FY 2006 HSGP application. Any newly identified Urban Areas receiving funding in FY 2006 must develop an Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. Findings from the Program and Capability Review as well as recently updated State Homeland Security Strategies can serve as a guide for the development of an Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. This strategy must be developed jointly by all units of government in the defined Urban Area and comport with Homeland Security Strategy Guidance released in July 2005 (htto:l/www.ojo.usdoi.gov/odo/assessments/definition.htm) to ensure that strategies align with the Goal. All new Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies must be completed and submitted to G&T no later than March 2, 2006, as part of their application for FY 2006 HSGP funds. Allocation of Funds: The intent of the grant is to establish a metropolitan area-wide approach to homeland security. Therefore, the use and allocation of all grant funds available through the FY 2006 UASI program must focus on the investments identified in the Urban Area's Investment Justification and the implementation of the validated Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. The use of funds must also be consistent with the State Homeland Security Strategy, the Program and Capability Enhancement Plan, and the UASI program guidelines. The SAA POC, in coordination with the UA WG, must develop a methodology for allocating funding available through the UASI program. The UA WG must reach consensus on funding allocations. If consensus cannot be reached within the 60-day time period allotted for the State PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAfNING 78
