Summary
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has committed to bolstering the capacity of non-federal entities to receive noncitizens for a temporary period not to exceed 45 days after they have been processed by the U.S. Customs and Board Protection (CBP). DHS has also committed to ensuring appropriate coordination with and support for state, local, and community leaders to help mitigate increased impacts to their communities. The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly, and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.
Shelter and Services Program – Competitive (SSP-C)
The goal of SSP is the safe, orderly, and humane release of noncitizen migrants from DHS short-term holding facilities.
The objectives are:
- To provide funding to non-federal entities that serve noncitizen migrants recently released from DHS custody to temporarily provide shelter, food, transportation, acute medical care, personal hygiene supplies, and labor necessary to provide these services; and,
- To provide funding to non-federal entities to increase their capacity to temporarily shelter noncitizen migrants recently released from DHS custody, including renovations and modifications to existing facilities.
