DHS is allocating $94 million in grants to over 500 Jewish organizations across the US
The Department of Homeland Security is allocating $94 million in grants to over 500 Jewish organizations across the US to combat antisemitism.
The grants, which are allocated through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, are part of a pre-designated fund to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a staggering $94.4 million in federal grants through the National Security Supplemental (NSGP-NSS) to 512 Jewish faith-based organizations on Friday.
“DHS is working to put a stop to the deeply disturbing rise in anti-Semitic attacks across the United States,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.
“However, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that Jewish people in the United States can live free of the threat of violence and terrorism.”
Sources at DHS tell Fox News Digital that similar grants have been used for improved security measures like cameras, physical barriers, and other enhanced safety initiatives.
Anti-Semitic attacks in the US have been on the rise since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the continuous war between the Jewish state and neighboring countries.
