Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 OS 009 001
The FY 2022 Operation Allies Welcome Airport Assistance Grant (Funding Opportunity Number: DHS 22 OS 009 001; Assistance Listing/CFDA: 97.009) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through its Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division. The purpose of the program is narrowly focused: it provides federal funding to reimburse airport authorities for qualifying services they delivered and expenses they incurred while their airports served as U.S. points of entry during Operation Allies Welcome. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help airports recover costs tied to the rapid reception and processing of Afghan allies arriving in the United States, supporting safe and orderly welcoming operations rather than funding unrelated airport improvements or long-term projects.
This opportunity is structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and falls under an “Other” funding activity category, indicating it does not fit neatly into standard categories like research or infrastructure and instead reflects a mission-driven operational reimbursement effort. The central concept is reimbursement: airports that supported Operation Allies Welcome and can document eligible costs can seek federal funds to offset those specific, already-incurred expenses associated with acting as an entry point during the operation.
Eligibility is broad across government entities that commonly own, operate, or oversee airport facilities and related public functions. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other entities as further described in the full eligibility clarification section of the notice. This design aligns with how airports are governed across the country, where a city, county, state authority, or special district may be the primary airport sponsor or the entity responsible for operational costs and emergency response coordination.
Key timing details reflect the urgent, event-driven nature of the program. The opportunity was created on August 5, 2022, with an original closing date of August 24, 2022, giving applicants a short window to compile documentation and submit requests. The program anticipated making a small number of awards (Expected Awards: 2), which suggests the funding was targeted to a limited set of airports that played especially significant roles as points of entry during Operation Allies Welcome or that experienced particularly notable eligible costs.
The maximum award amount listed for a single recipient is $2,500,000 (Award Ceiling: $2,500,000). With only two expected awards, this implies a potentially concentrated distribution of funds rather than many smaller awards spread across numerous airports. Because the stated purpose is reimbursement for services and expenses incurred, applicants would generally be expected to substantiate their requests with clear records of costs, descriptions of services provided, and evidence tying those costs directly to Operation Allies Welcome-related activities performed at the airport as a port of entry.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted DHS reimbursement mechanism designed to ensure airports are not left absorbing extraordinary, mission-related costs associated with a major humanitarian and national operational response. It recognizes that airports serving as arrival and processing hubs may have needed to provide extra services, staffing, coordination, security-related support, space usage, logistics, or other operational measures to facilitate the safe reception of Afghan allies, and it offers federal support to make those public entities whole for eligible, documented expenses.Apply for DHS 22 OS 009 001
