The funding will be used to continue implementing the goals and objectives of the Sacramento Regional Homeland Security Program. The term of performance for the grant award is 33 months, beginning September 1, 2019 and ending May 31, 2022. The previous award to the SPD under this federal program was through the FFY 2018 appropriation, the performance period of which expires May 31, 2021. Under the terms of the FFY 2019 award, expenses related to the grant’s activities may be charged retroactively to the grant effective September 1, 2019.
