Grants Regional Workshops

The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) Grants Program Administration (GPA) Regional Workshops are an annual event which are held at multiple locations statewide every fall.

The purpose of the Workshops is to provide critical updates on homeland security grant funding, provide technical assistance on meeting the various grant requirements and to obtain feedback as well as answer your questions on these key issues.
