Global Security Watch > GAO probes DHS grants to non-profits

http://www.hlswatch.com [Homeland Security Watch] The GAO issued a report today on the program at DHS to earmark $25 million/year of grant funds to non-profit organizations for their physical security, a total that was funded in FY 2005 and FY 2006. In FY 2005, DHS had delegated these funding decisions to cities, which apparently displeased the appropriators, because they inserted language in FY 2006 that said that these grant decisions should be “determined by the Secretary to be at high-risk of international terrorist attack”

The President's budget proposal fails to lift the current ban on health care for legal immigrant children and pregnant women, does not provide funding to enhance access to health services to limited-English-proficient individuals."
