The SSP is a grant program designed to award funding to nonfederal entities that provide services to migrants encountered by and released from DHS custody. The SSP is replacing the Emergency Food and Shelter Program for humanitarian relief (EFSP-H), which supplemented the humanitarian relief efforts of local government, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations that provide food, shelter, and supportive services to migrants encountered by DHS at the southern border. However, the SSP is being implemented somewhat differently, as described below. Authority and Background The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. F of P.L. 117-328) directed CBP to transfer $800 million of its FY2023 appropriation to FEMA for the SSP. The funding is to support sheltering and related activities provided by non-Federal entities, including facility improvements and construction, in support of relieving overcrowding in short-term holding facilities of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.... FEMA may use a portion of the $800 million-specifically, up to $785 million-to implement the EFSP- H in FY2023. FEMA has awarded $425 million to the EFSP National Board, which governs the program and is responsible for making EFSP-H award determinations and disbursing funding. The EFSP National Board has awarded $403.7 million ($425 million minus administrative costs) to local government and nonprofit organizations supporting migrants encountered by DHS. On May 5, 2023, DHS stated that funding would be awarded through the SSP later in FY2023, and on June 12, 2023, DHS/FEMA announced that $363.8 million is being made available for the SSP, as described below. Funding for Migrant Support Congress first appropriated funding for the EFSP-H in FY2019, and subsequently provided additional funding in FY2021-FY2023.
