Pray Safe Act of 2025
Safety Resources for Houses of Worship and Nonprofits
The Pray Safe Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to two House committees for review and is not yet scheduled for a vote. The bill is considered active as it waits for these committees to begin their work.
Legislative Progress
The bill has strong support from both parties and addresses a popular issue, but many bills fail to move through committees during busy sessions.
Key Points
- The bill creates a central office within the Department of Homeland Security to help churches, synagogues, mosques, and other nonprofits stay safe. This office will provide a website with clear advice on how to prevent and respond to threats like terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
- It makes finding money for security easier by putting all available federal grants in one place. Organizations will be able to see which grants they qualify for and get direct links to apply, along with guides to help them through the process.
- A dedicated staff member will be assigned to answer questions and help these groups directly. This person will provide a human point of contact for religious leaders and nonprofit directors who need help navigating government security programs.
- The safety advice provided will be based on proven research. The government will rank different security measures so organizations know which actions, like reinforcing buildings or planning for emergencies, are most likely to keep their members safe.
- This program is designed to be temporary and will end four years after it starts unless Congress votes to keep it going. This allows the government to test if the resource center is actually helpful before making it permanent.
