Presidential Residence Protection Security Grant

Who Can Apply

• Local (includes State-designated lndian Tribes, excludes institutions of higher education and hospitals
• State

Eligible applicants are limited to state and local law enforcement and emergency response agencies , either directly or through the State Administrative Agency (SAA), that conducted protection activities associated with any non-governmental residence of the President of the United States designated or identified to be secured by the USSS. The SAA may apply on behalf of one or more eligible agencies. If the SAA submits an application on behalf of any agency, those agencies covered under the SAA’s application cannot also apply directly to FEMA for funding under the applicable year’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Multiple applications may result in a delay in reimbursement and/or an application to be denied funding. Coordination between the SAA and any eligible agencies agency is therefore encouraged. Local includes designated Indian Tribes, but excludes institutions of higher education and hospitals.
