UASI ‘26 Grant Cycle

In past years, the RDPO would have launched an application timeline and process for UASI ‘26 projects by August 2025. However, most of the RDPO’s funding comes from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI).

Due to continued federal grant uncertainties and the impact of the ongoing government shutdown, all FY26 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant funding is still in the legislative process. Until a federal budget is passed and we get more clarity on UASI ‘25 funding, the RDPO will wait to release an application for UASI ‘26. 

The situation is complicated and rapidly evolving. The RDPO will continue to do our best to keep you informed and respond to any questions or concerns.
