Who is eligible to apply for a DHS grant?
Eligibility for these federal funds is dictated by the federal granting agency and may differ depending upon the funding agency. However, in general, jurisdictions eligible for pass-through sub-grants must be a governmental entity (county, tribe, city or township) and its sub-divisions (i.e. fire district). Non-governmental entities providing first responder services are not eligible to receive direct funding but may apply through its respective county, tribe and/or city.
