Creates grants to help communities prepare for extreme weather and other challenges.
This bill would create a new federal grant program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help states, territories, and Indian tribes set up or run offices that plan for and respond to extreme weather and other challenges. These offices would work to make communities stronger against disasters, with a focus on vulnerable areas. It would set aside $100 million each year for six years for this purpose.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to fund states, territories, and Indian tribes for creating and running local offices focused on community resilience. If this bill passes, HUD would be able to give formula grants, which are grants distributed according to specific criteria, to these groups, providing up to $100 million for each government's budget year from 2025 to 2030. This money would help them establish or maintain resiliency offices, develop plans to address risks from extreme weather, and carry out programs to make communities stronger.
