State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) Open and Competitive Funding - Public Comment

The Homeland Security Advisory Committee (HSAC) has decided that the State will no longer use the regional funding allocation methodology for the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP). Instead, the SHSGP funding will be open and competitive. Regions may still submit as a region. The HSAC has now tasked our subcommittee to make recommendations on two specific items:

1) A scoring rubric that ranks applications

2) Who should rank the applications

Please provide any comments you would like the subcommittee to consider while considering recommendations. You may submit multiple comments.

Submit your comments on the SHSGP Public Comment Form by August 14, 2025.
