The document provides an overview of homeland security funding in the United States. It discusses how funding is allocated across federal departments and agencies based on strategic goals to prevent terrorism, protect infrastructure, respond to incidents, and strengthen foundations. The Department of Homeland Security receives around 50% of total homeland security funding and allocates it across agencies like Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard. The document also outlines resources for small businesses seeking homeland security contracting opportunities.

7. HOMELAND SECURITY TRENDS
Funding For Homeland Security Grew
Substantially For Much Of The Past Decade But
Has Recently Declined
•
Funding for homeland security has dropped
somewhat from its 2009 peak of $76 billion, in
inflation-adjusted terms; funding for 2012 totaled
$68 billion.
•
Pre-9/11, the U.S. spent $12.1 billion
•
The allocation of homeland security funding
among the various federal agencies has remained
relatively constant since 2005.

Strategic Goals outlined in the National Strategy for
Homeland Security:

4.
Prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks; (48%)
Protect the American people, critical
infrastructure, and key resources; (43%)
Respond to and recover from incidents; (9%)and
Continue to strengthen the homeland security
foundation.
(The fourth goal is very broad and does not receive explicit funding.)

$35.9B, or 49 percent of the total homeland
security request);
•
Department of Defense (DoD—$17.4B, or 24

20. DHS AGENCIES
Funding for DHS spans all six homeland security missions, but the
majority of that funding is for border and transportation
security, accounting for 88% or $24.6B in 2014 across Customs and
Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration and the
Coast Guard.
Four DHS agencies—Customs and Border Protection, the
Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, and the Coast Guard—are designated to receive almost
all of the funds in support of that mission.

21. CBP FUNDING
 CBP is responsible for securing America’s borders
against terrorist threats, while facilitating legitimate
travel, trade, and immigration. This critical mission
is carried out by CBP’s personnel, as well as the
use of
intelligence, targeting, technology, infrastructure, a
nd a broad range of other assets and capabilities.
CBP also partners with
Federal, State, local, tribal, and international
stakeholders to perform its mission.

22. TSA FUNDING
 TSA’s mission is to maximize transportation
security in response to evolving threats while
protecting passengers’ privacy and
facilitating the flow of legal commerce. TSA’s
specific responsibilities include ensuring
effective and efficient screening of all air
passengers, baggage, and cargo on
passenger planes.
FY 2014 Budget Request: $7.4B

23. ICE FUNDING
 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) is the principal investigative arm of the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
and the second-largest investigative agency
in the Federal Government. Created in
2003, through a merger of the U.S. Customs
Service and the Immigration and
Naturalization Service, ICE has more than
19,000 employees in all 50 states, the District
of Columbia, and 48 foreign countries.

24. COAST GUARD FUNDING
 The Coast Guard remains the principal Federal agency responsible for
maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and
inland waterways, along the coasts, and on the high seas. As one of the
five Armed Services of the United States, the Coast Guard is the only
military organization within DHS. Unlike the other services in the DOD, the
Coast Guard is also a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad
domestic legal authorities.
The Coast Guard's FY 2014 budget priorities are:
• Build essential coast guard capability for the Nation
• Strengthen resource and operational stewardship
• Sustain the most critical front-line operations
FY 2014 Budget Request: $9.8B
Net Discretionary: $7.9B
Mandatory Fees & Trust Fund: $1.8B

25. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Because of laws, policies, and
custom, the military’s involvement in
domestic operations and law
enforcement is limited.
 DoD and the military services tend
to focus their homeland security
efforts on protecting infrastructure
that is essential for U.S. military
operations from terrorist attack and
preparing to help civil authorities if
asked.
 Almost 80 percent of DoD’s
homeland security funding would be
for either military personnel or
operation and maintenance.

26. HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
HHS receives much less homeland
security funding than DHS and DoD.
However, funding for HHS supports
the missions of:
 defending against catastrophic
threats (mainly developing medical
countermeasures against
biological, chemical, or radiological
weapons)
 emergency preparedness and
response (mainly providing medical
supplies, equipment, and personnel
in order to respond to a
catastrophic health event).

27. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DOJ’s main homeland security
mission is
counterterrorism, primarily
conducted by the FBI, whose
mission is to investigate major
threats to the United States.
