HR 7360 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the United States Housing Act of 1937 to permanently authorize the emergency safety and security grant program, and for other purposes.

This bill permanently authorizes a grant program under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 to help public housing agencies improve safety and security in federally assisted housing for low-income residents. It provides funding for specific items like security cameras, fencing, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke alarms, and heating systems to address threats from crime, drug activity, and health hazards like extreme temperatures. Public housing agencies can apply for grants up to $250,000 per year (with higher limits for larger agencies), supported by $225 million annually in dedicated funding. The change replaces a temporary program, ensuring consistent resources for critical safety upgrades in public housing communities.
