What Wyoming does differently
- •Wyoming's recent application period has closed in May — earlier than almost any other state, and well before the federal midsummer date.
- •Wyoming states the award is entirely federally funded with no match or cost-share, and that its performance period runs three years, which is longer than many states allow for spending the money.
Wyoming process details last checked against WOHS's own page on September 20, 2026. Deadlines move between cycles — confirm on the official page before you apply.
Common questions about applying in Wyoming
- Who do I actually apply to in Wyoming?
- Wyoming Office of Homeland Security — not FEMA. Every NSGP application goes through the state's administering agency, which reviews and scores it before passing it to FEMA.
- Does Wyoming run a security grant of its own as well?
- Not in this catalog. In Wyoming the federal NSGP, applied for through WOHS, is the route — which makes its deadline the one that matters to you.
