Kentucky holds mandatory meetings for agencies wanting Homeland Security grants | News

FRANKFORT, KY (FOX19) - The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security (KOHS) has scheduled workshops across the state to assist agencies in preparing applications for State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grants.

Two of the workshops are in Northern Kentucky, with a third not terribly far away in Frankfort.

Due to revised SHSP application issues, KOHS says they are requiring attendance at one of eight state-wide application workshops for those local government units who intend to make application for FFY 2012 funds.

Applications from city, county or special districts that do not have at least one representative at one of the workshops will not be accepted. KOHS says this is not to imply that the application process has become more complicated, but with the current funding levels received by the Commonwealth, it is important to be aware of the information provided at these workshops.

There is no registration for these workshops (all times local):
