infrastructure and assets, and

6. NATIONAL STRATEGY
Priorities and
funding are based
on the National
Strategy for
Homeland Security
re-issued in 2007

7. HOMELAND SECURITY TRENDS
Funding For Homeland Security Grew
Substantially For Much Of The Past Decade But
Has Recently Declined
•
Funding for homeland security has dropped
somewhat from its 2009 peak of $76 billion, in
inflation-adjusted terms; funding for 2012 totaled
$68 billion.
•
Pre-9/11, the U.S. spent $12.1 billion
•
The allocation of homeland security funding
among the various federal agencies has remained
relatively constant since 2005.

8. FOUR STRATEGIC GOALS
Homeland Security Funding Is Organized To Meet Four
Strategic Goals outlined in the National Strategy for
Homeland Security:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks; (48%)
Protect the American people, critical infrastructure,
and key resources; (43%)
Respond to and recover from incidents; (9%)and
Continue to strengthen the homeland security
foundation.
(The fourth goal is very broad and does not receive explicit funding.)

security missions derived from those strategic goals.

10. HOMELAND SECURITY ALLOCATIONS
Although every Cabinet-level department receives
homeland security funding, approximately 90
percent of the requested funding would be allocated
to four departments:
•
Department of Homeland Security (DHS—
$35.5 billion, or 52 percent of the total
homeland security request);
•
Department of Defense (DoD—$17.9 billion, or
26 percent);
•
Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS—$4.1 billion or 6 percent); and
•
Department of Justice (DOJ—$4.0 billion or 6
percent).

18. DHS STRUCTURE TODAY

19. DHS AGENCIES
Funding for DHS spans all six homeland security missions,
but the majority of that funding is for border and
transportation security, accounting for almost 70 percent of
the department.
Four DHS agencies—Customs and Border Protection, the
Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, and the Coast Guard—are
designated to receive almost all of the funds in support of
that mission.

20. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Because of laws, policies, and
custom, the military’s involvement in
domestic operations and law
enforcement is limited.
 DoD and the military services tend
to focus their homeland security
efforts on protecting infrastructure
that is essential for U.S. military
operations from terrorist attack and
preparing to help civil authorities if
asked.
 Almost 80 percent of DoD’s
homeland security funding would be
for either military personnel or
operation and maintenance.

21. HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
HHS receives much less homeland
security funding than DHS and DoD.
However, funding for HHS supports
the missions of:
 defending against catastrophic
threats (mainly developing medical
countermeasures against
biological, chemical, or radiological
weapons)
 emergency preparedness and
response (mainly providing medical
supplies, equipment, and personnel
in order to respond to a
catastrophic health event).

22. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DOJ’s main homeland security
mission is
counterterrorism, primarily
conducted by the FBI, whose
mission is to investigate major
threats to the United States.
