The SSP is a grant program that funds reimbursement or advanced payments to nonfederal entities that provide shelter and other eligible services to migrants encountered by and released from DHS custody, as well as funding to increase their temporary shelter capacity. The SSP is replacing the Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian (EFSP-H), which supplemented the humanitarian relief efforts of local government and nonprofit organizations providing 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 (P.L. 117-328, Div. F, Title II) directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (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.... Congress authorized FEMA to use a portion of the $800 million-specifically, up to $785 million-to implement the EFSP-H in FY2023 while the SSP was established. FEMA awarded $425 million for the EFSP-H. DHS stated that the remaining funding, totaling approximately $360 million, would be awarded through the SSP. On June 12, 2023, DHS/FEMA published the NOFO for the first tranche of SSP funding. Subsequently, on August 21, 2023, DHS/FEMA amended the original NOFO, updating it for the second tranche of SSP funding. For more information on the EFSP-H and transition to the SSP, see CRS Insight IN 12132, FEA L4' Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian Relief (EFSP-H) and the New Shelter and Services Program (SSP).
