Once awarded, it is often required (there are pass-through requirements for many DHS grants) that the SAA pass funding down to the appropriate sub-grantees. Sub-grantees will often include municipalities, counties, and tribes, though some grants can also be passed down to fire stations, emergency management organizations, and nonprofit organizations, among others. As the SAA, PEMA is responsible for managing and administering homeland security grant funding. This agency ensures that the funding reaches the appropriate local jurisdictions, municipalities, counties, or organizations. PEMA primarily interacts with counties. The counties, in turn, then provide support to local cities, towns, and boroughs. Ordinarily, DHS grant funding can also be passed through to tribes; however, there are no federally tribes in the state of Pennsylvania. Counties: Adams County Allegheny County Armstrong County Beaver County Bedford County Berks County Blair County
