## Summary

**Targeted urban heat mitigation grants for underserved communities.** This bill would create a HUD-managed program that funds tree canopy expansion, cool roofs and pavements, cooling centers, and other local actions to lower extreme urban heat and protect public health. - Residents in high-heat neighborhoods: At least 75 percent of grant dollars in a year must go to projects in designated "covered" census tracts, boosting local cooling, shade, and heat-related health protections. - Local governments, tribes, and nonprofits: Eligible applicants include states, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, Indian tribes, territories, and nonprofits. The federal share would be up to 80 percent with a waiver allowing 100 percent for projects showing economic hardship. - Program support and oversight: HUD would run the program in coordination with EPA, the Forest Service, and NOAA. Up to 3 percent of funds can pay technical assistance and 5 percent can support an oversight board that selects recipients and reviews outcomes. *Would authorize $30.0 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2033 for grants and program administration.*
