HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING


Homeland security is defined as those activities that detect, deter, protect against, and respond to terrorist acts occurring within the United States and its territories.

This includes: counterterrorism efforts, protection of civilians and critical infrastructure and assets, and

emergency preparedness and response.

HOMELAND SECURITY DEFINED


Priorities and funding are based on the National Strategy for Homeland Security re-issued in 2007

NATIONAL STRATEGY

FULL REPORT IS AVAILABLE AT:http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/nat_strat_homelandsecurity_2007.pdf

Funding For Homeland Security Grew Substantially For Much Of The Past Decade But Has Recently Declined

• Funding for homeland security has dropped somewhat from its 2009 peak of $76 billion, in inflation-adjusted terms; funding for 2012 totaled $68 billion.

• Pre-9/11, the U.S. spent $12.1 billion

• The allocation of homeland security funding among the various federal agencies has remained relatively constant since 2005.

HOMELAND SECURITY TRENDS

Source: Congressional Budget Office

Homeland Security Funding Is Organized To Meet Four Strategic Goals outlined in the National Strategy for Homeland Security:

1. Prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks; (48%)2. Protect the American people, critical infrastructure, and key

resources; (43%)3. Respond to and recover from incidents; (9%)and4. Continue to strengthen the homeland security foundation.

(The fourth goal is very broad and does not receive explicit funding.)

FOUR STRATEGIC GOALS


The National Strategy identified six specific homeland security missions derived from those strategic goals.

• Border and transportation• Protecting critical infrastructure and key assets• Emergency preparedness and response • Domestic counterterrorism • Defending against catastrophic threats• Intelligence and warning

HOMELAND MISSION AREAS


Although every Cabinet-level department receives homeland security funding, approximately 90 percent of the requested funding would be allocated to four departments:

• Department of Homeland Security (DHS—$35.5 billion, or 52 percent of the total homeland security request);

• Department of Defense (DoD—$17.9 billion, or 26 percent);

• Department of Health and Human Services (HHS—$4.1 billion or 6 percent); and

• Department of Justice (DOJ—$4.0 billion or 6 percent).

APPROPRIATIONS


Although every department receives homeland security funding, DHS receives the most – around 50% of all funding.

DHS’ CREATION

DHS STRUCTURE TODAY

Funding for DHS spans all six homeland security missions, but the majority of that funding is for border and transportation security, accounting for almost 70 percent of the department.

Four DHS agencies—Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard—are designated to receive almost all of the funds in support of that mission.

DHS AGENCIES


Because of laws, policies, and custom, the military’s involvement in domestic operations and law enforcement is limited.

DoD and the military services tend to focus their homeland security efforts on protecting infrastructure that is essential for U.S. military operations from terrorist attack and preparing to help civil authorities if asked.

Almost 80 percent of DoD’s homeland security funding would be for either military personnel or operation and maintenance.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


HHS receives much less homeland security funding than DHS and DoD. However, funding for HHS supports the missions of:

defending against catastrophic threats (mainly developing medical countermeasures against biological, chemical, or radiological weapons)

emergency preparedness and response (mainly providing medical supplies, equipment, and personnel in order to respond to a catastrophic health event).

HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES


DOJ’s main homeland security mission is counterterrorism, primarily conducted by the FBI, whose mission is to investigate major threats to the United States.
