Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Representative Goldman, would create a permanent program to give money to local public housing agencies for safety and security upgrades.
- The funding would help protect residents from crime and drugs by paying for security cameras, better lighting, fencing, and stronger locks and doors.
- It also addresses health hazards by providing money for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and systems to keep apartments at safe temperatures during extreme heat or cold.
- Most housing agencies could receive up to $250,000 each year, while very large agencies with more than 5,000 units could receive even more funding.
- The plan calls for $225 million in federal spending every year to ensure these safety improvements are available to low-income families across the country.
