Public housing residents would get safer homes through a permanent federal grant program for security and health upgrades.
This bill would make a federal grant program permanent, helping public housing agencies pay for important safety and security upgrades. It would allow $225 million to be set aside each year for things like security cameras, fire alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors. This means public housing residents could live in safer, healthier homes.
Today, the emergency safety and security grant program is not permanently authorized, meaning its funding and rules can change year to year. If this bill passes, the program would become permanent, allowing the federal government to set aside $225 million each year for public housing agencies to make lasting safety and health improvements for residents.
