          Shelter and Services Program
The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly, and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.

Only those entities listed in the FY 2024 SSP-A Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) are the only eligible applicants for SSP-A.**Competitive (SSP-C):**Any entity that meets the Applicant Eligibility Criteria in Section *C. Eligibility Information* in the SSP-C NOFO may apply for SSP-C.
