report must also include a discussion of
the extent to which target capabilities
identified in the applicable state
homeland security plan and other
applicable plans are unmet, and an
assessment of resources needed to meet
the preparedness priorities established
under PKEMRA Section 646(e),
including: (i) An estimate of the amount
of expenditures required to attain the
preparedness priorities; and (ii) the
extent to which the use of Federal
assistance during the preceding fiscal
year achieved the preparedness
priorities. To meet this requirement,
States, Tribes, territories, and urban
areas first identify capability targets
through THIRA and then assess against
these targets in the SPR. Through the
SPR, these jurisdictions estimate their
current capabilities, identify and
describe gaps between current
capabilities and targets, indicate their
intended approach for addressing gaps
in the future, and report on the impact
of Federal grant dollars in building and
sustaining capabilities. It is also
important to note that completing the
THIRA and SPR are allowable expenses
under the grant awards.

* Over the three-year period of performance for the OAHMP grant, we expect up to 9,000 clients may apply for services. Of these potential clients, we conservatively estimate 33% (or 4,433) will be determined ineligible, 25% (or 2,250) will not consent to participate in the Evaluation, and
another 25% (or 1,688) will be lost to Evalution follow-up six- to nine-months after the homes have received modifications. Of the 5,625 homes
expected to receive modifications, up to 563 clients are expected to be contacted to participate in the Client Process Evaluation Interview and up
to 506 are anticipated to participate.
