Cyber Grants
On September 16, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a first-of-its-kind cybersecurity grant program specifically for state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) governments across the country.
Funding from the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) and the Tribal Cybersecurity Grant Program (TCGP) helps eligible entities address cybersecurity risks and threats to information systems owned or operated by—or on behalf of—SLTT governments. Through separate Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs), SLCGP and TCGP will make $1 billion available over four years, including more than $200 million in FY 2022, $400 million in FY 2023, $300 million in FY 2024, and $100 million in FY 2025.
Read about the authorization for SLCGP
Through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, Congress established the State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act, which established the SLCGP and TCGP, appropriating $1 billion to be awarded over four years.
These entities face unique challenges and are at varying levels of preparedness in defending against increasingly sophisticated and ever-changing cyber threats. DHS, through CISA in coordination with FEMA, is taking steps to help stakeholders across the country understand the severity of their unique local cyber threats and cultivate partnerships to reduce related risks across the SLTT enterprise.
