Grants Management

Mission Statement
The mission of the Grants Management Directorate (GMD) is to provide timely grant reimbursements to subgrantees of the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP), Infrastructure Protection Grant Unit (IPGS), and all other subgrantees receiving homeland security funding. The GMD shall also provide programmatic technical assistance to all Office of Homeland Security (OHS) subgrantees while ensuring grant expenditures are in compliance with all state and federal grant requirements. The GMD was created to enhance and improve the overall customer service of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security (OHS), which merged with the Office of Emergency Services (OES) in 2009 to become California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA).

Homeland Security Grants Processing Section
The Homeland Security Grants Processing Section is responsible for processing all requests for reimbursement from subgrantees across all grants, submitting Initial Strategy Implementation Plans (ISIP), Biannual Strategy Implementation Reports (BSIR), Categorical Assistance Program Reports (CAPR) and the Monthly Accomplishment Summaries which are posted on the Cal EMA website. The Homeland Security Grants Processing Section is also the lead in providing grant related information in support Cal EMA's annual report, reports to the legislature and California's State Preparedness Report (SPR). The Homeland Security Grants Processing Section conducts several workshops throughout the year including Reports and Recordkeeping, Fiscal Management and Biannual Strategy Implementation Reporting.

The HSGS conducts workshops throughout the state on grants management and grant application workshops. The HSGS is also responsible for the annual Investment Justification Planning Conference and coordinating the development and submission of California's applications for homeland security grant funds.

The TSGS administers transit related grants in coordination with California's four (4) Regional Transit Security Working Groups (RTSWG).

The IPGS also supports Buffer Zone Protection Program grants and California's federal Port Security Grant Program (PSGP) submission.
