The fiscal year 2007 grant program announced by DHS today includes changes to the distribution of funding for the UASI program.
DHS released the fiscal year 2007 grant guidance and application kits for five grant programs that will total roughly $1.7 billion in funding for state and local counterterrorism efforts. Of this, $746.9 million is allocated for the Urban Area Security Initiative with nearly 55% earmarked for six cities identified as the highest risk "Tier 1" Urban Areas. The Metro Boston Homeland Security Region falls in to the "Tier 2" category and is eligible to compete with 38 other cities for a portion of the remaining 45%.
