Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 GPD 134 00 01
The Fiscal Year 2017 Presidential Residence Protection Assistance Grant (PRPA), also referred to in the notice as the Presidential Residence Extraordinary Security (PRES) Grant, is a discretionary federal grant program run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its core purpose is narrow and practical: it reimburses state and local law enforcement agencies for certain personnel costs they incur when they are tasked with helping protect a non-governmental residence of the President, but only when that residence has been designated or identified for security by the United States Secret Service (USSS). The legal authority cited for this reimbursement is Section 544 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-31), which is the specific statutory basis for providing these funds tied to extraordinary security requirements.
In terms of what the money is meant to cover, the opportunity is focused on law enforcement personnel costs connected to protective operations at an eligible presidential residence. In other words, the grant is structured as a reimbursement mechanism for staffing-related expenses that arise because local, county, or state agencies are supporting USSS-directed security missions at a designated non-governmental location associated with the President. The funding activity category is listed as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, which aligns with the operational, public safety nature of the work being reimbursed. The notice describes the assistance as federal funds to reimburse costs already incurred (or incurred during the relevant period), rather than a broad program to build capacity, purchase equipment, or fund unrelated public safety initiatives.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at public-sector law enforcement partners at different levels of government. The listed eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with an “Others” category that is further defined in the full announcement’s additional eligibility information. The emphasis throughout is on state and local law enforcement agencies that actually incur the personnel costs tied to these USSS-designated protective activities, meaning the program is targeted to jurisdictions that have a direct operational role in providing security support at the qualifying location.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 17 GPD 134 00 01 and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 97.134. The grant type is listed simply as a “Grant” under funding instrument type, and the opportunity category is discretionary, indicating funds are awarded under a competitive or otherwise discretionary federal process rather than by formula allocation. The opportunity was created on August 17, 2017, and the original closing date for applications was October 31, 2017, placing it within the FY 2017 grant cycle.
A few other details help frame expectations. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum per-award cap was not stated in the summarized fields (or that awards depend on documented reimbursable costs rather than a preset cap). The expected number of awards is 9, suggesting FEMA anticipated funding a limited set of jurisdictions, consistent with the fact that only a small number of agencies would likely incur these specific presidential-residence protection costs in a given year. Overall, PRPA/PRES is best understood as a targeted reimbursement program designed to offset extraordinary, mission-driven staffing costs that local and state partners absorb when supporting Secret Service protective responsibilities at qualifying non-governmental presidential residences.Apply for DHS 17 GPD 134 00 01
