The FY2027 President's Budget requests $324.0M for Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grants, within Homeland Security's Federal Assistance account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $324.0M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $324.0M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $324.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $324.0M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The SAFER Grants were created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, "front line" firefighters available
Extracted from Federal Emergency Management Agency, p. 5. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
