Bill > HR7360

This bill permanently authorizes the emergency safety and security grant program, which provides funding to public housing agencies (PHAs) to improve safety and security measures. The program allows PHAs to use grant money to purchase, install, repair, or replace items that address threats from crime and drug-related activity, such as security cameras, fencing, lighting, and reinforced doors and windows. It also covers items that address health and safety threats like carbon monoxide and fire, including alarms and detectors, and measures to combat extreme temperatures, such as ensuring adequate heating. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will administer the program, with grants capped at $250,000 per PHA annually, unless the PHA is classified as "extra large" or manages over 5,000 units. The bill authorizes $225,000,000 to be appropriated each fiscal year for this program, in addition to other existing funding.
