What the program funds
The Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) Continuing Training Grants (CTG) program, was created to enhance the nation’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from various emergencies. This program provides financial support to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as non-profit organizations, to develop and deliver specialized training programs. These programs are designed to improve the skills and knowledge of emergency responders and community members in handling incidents such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other emergencies. The CTG program is integral to the National Preparedness System, which aims to build and sustain core capabilities necessary for achieving a secure and resilient nation. Since its inception, the CTG program has focused on key areas such as public health emergencies, pandemic preparedness, mass care, sport and special events, and enhancing preparedness in tribal and rural communities.
