The goal of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is to help states, local governments, rural areas, and territories address cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity threats to information systems. The program enables DHS to make targeted cybersecurity investments in state, local and territorial government agencies, thus improving the security of critical infrastructure and resilience of the services that state, local, and territorial governments provide to their communities.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are jointly managing the SLCGP. CISA will provide subject-matter expertise and determine allowable activities, while FEMA will conduct eligibility reviews and issue/administer the grant awards consistent with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligible entity or multi-entity group must pass through at least 80 percent of the federal funds provided under the grant to local governments, including rural areas, within the jurisdiction of the eligible entity or multi-entity group.
Four requirements must be met to pass-through grant funds:
The eligible entity must make a firm written commitment to passing through grant funds or equivalent services to subrecipients;
The eligible entity’s commitment must be unconditional (i.e., no contingencies for the availability of eligible entity funds);
There must be documentary evidence (i.e., award document, terms, and conditions) of the commitment; and
The award terms must be communicated to the subrecipient.
The signatory authority of the eligible entity must certify in writing to DHS/FEMA that pass-through requirements have been met. A letter of intent (or equivalent) to distribute funds is not considered sufficient; after the funds have been distributed, the SAA must self-certify, on behalf of the state, that the pass-through requirements have been met.
