ARIA To Build Fire Stations

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

Program Overview

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 19, is designed to jumpstart the U.S. economy, create or save millions of jobs and address national needs-while supporting unprecedented levels of transparency, oversight and accountability.

In awarding ARRA funds, DHS prioritizes shovel-ready projects that infuse resources into local economies quickly while meeting critical security needs. DHS grant programs funded under ARRA will further strengthen the nation's ability to protect critical infrastructure facilities and transit systems and assist fire departments in improving their response capability/capacity and strengthening firefighter safety.

ARRA Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP)

ARRA Port Security Grant Program (PSGP)

ARRA Fire Station Construction Grants (SCG)

Together, the ARRA TSGP, ARRA PSGP, and ARRA SCG fund a range of preparedness activities centered around capital projects, Operational Packages, equipment acquisition, and new and upgraded fire stations.

Fire Station Construction Grant (SCG) Program
Purpose

The ARRA is an economic stimulus package that was designed to jumpstart the U.S. economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges nationally. Funds received under this Act are intended to support these goals, and unprecedented levels of transparency, oversight, and accountability are required of the expenditure of Act dollars.

The purpose of the FY 2009 ARRA SCG is to create or save jobs in recession-hit areas and achieve other purposes stated in ARRA, and achieve AFG goals of firefighter safety and improved response capability/capacity based on need through the construction, renovation or modification of fire stations.

Eligibility and Funding

Total Funding Available: $210,000,000

Non-Federal Fire Departments and state and local governments that fund/operate fire departments are eligible for SCG.
