The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill funding the Department of Homeland Security.
“This full-year appropriations bill will bolster the border security wins provided by House Republicans in our reconciliation package and ensure the safety of our law enforcement officers and the communities they serve comes first,” U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), House Committee on Homeland Security chairman, said. “In addition, this bill provides funding for vital nonprofit security grants that act as a lifeline for the safety of faith-based communities on Long Island and across the country, protects the department’s skilled cybersecurity work force, extends essential cybersecurity authorities, and makes sure frontline personnel –– like TSA agents and the U.S. Coast Guard –– don’t have to worry about missing another paycheck due to a government shutdown.”
Key provisions include:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be allocated $32 billion to enhance preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. This is a $4.7 billion increase from 2025’s level.
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program will be allocated $300 million. This is a more than $25 million increase from 2025’s level.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency will be allocated $20 million to increase its work force, and support threat hunting, vulnerability management, and regional cybersecurity advising.
