Shelter & Services Grant Program Listening Session

The 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R.2617) establishes the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Shelter and Services Grant Program (SSP). The grant program aims to support the sheltering and related activities provided by non-federal entities, including facility improvements and construction, in support of relieving noncitizen overcrowding in short-term holding facilities operated by CBP. FEMA and CBP will administer grants or cooperative agreements with Tribal Nations, state and local governments, as well as non-governmental organizations. FEMA and CBP will work with these governments and organizations to fund eligible costs of providing temporary shelter and related services to individuals released from Department of Homeland Security custody.

FEMA and CBP are hosting listening sessions with stakeholders to inform implementation of the new grant program.
