Liberty City Rising Act

The Liberty City Rising Act requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish safety and security standards for public housing and federally assisted housing projects located in neighborhoods designated as "high-crime areas" based on violent crime data. It mandates specific security measures like cameras, locks, and lighting, requires anonymous tenant hotlines for reporting crime, and prioritizes funding for safety upgrades in these areas. The law applies directly to public housing agencies and property owners receiving federal housing assistance in designated high-crime zones. The Secretary must define high-crime areas within 90 days of enactment and establish the safety standards within one year. These provisions aim to enhance resident safety through concrete, measurable security requirements rather than general policy changes.
