Diminished DHS Grants Draw Praise For Targeting Highest Risks – HSToday
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released grants guidance to US states and localities for fiscal 2011 Thursday, emphasizing a focus on getting the most for its money due to almost 25 percent in grant funding reductions compared to fiscal 2010.
“In today’s tight fiscal environment, we are maximizing limited grant dollars by setting clear priorities and focusing on the areas that face the greatest risk,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement. “The FY 2011 homeland security grants are focused on mitigating and responding to the evolving threats we face.”
