$110M to faith-based organizations for security improvements: Noem

() The Department of Homeland Security will allot $110 million to more than 600 faith-based organizations and nonprofits for security improvements, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced Friday.

The announcement follows a deadly shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota that killed two and injured 18 others. Police say the 23-year-old shooter “expressed hate towards almost every group imaginable.”

“In the face of violent criminals and radical organizations intent on hurting American communities, the Trump Administration is helping houses of worship, schools and community centers to harden their defenses against attacks and protect themselves,” Noem said in a post on X.

The funds would be administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s existing nonprofit security grant program, which doles out cash for “physical security enhancements and activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of terrorist attack,” according to its website.

The money could be used for cameras, gates, lighting, training programs for staff and warning and alert systems, Noem said.

The additional $110 million is roughly 45% of the grant program’s FY 2025 budget, which sits at $274.5 million.
