## Summary

**This bill would create a federal program to plant trees in heat‑vulnerable and redlined neighborhoods.** It would set up a HUD‑led Tree Planting Grant Program working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and authorize $50 million a year from 2026 through 2036 to fund projects and maintenance. - Families and residents in designated redlined or intra‑urban heat island areas could gain more shade and cooling. Projects that include housing plans to minimize displacement and public participation get priority. - State, territorial, tribal, local governments, Indian Tribes, and qualifying nonprofits could apply for grants and must submit a 5‑year planting and maintenance timeline and budget. - Grant money could pay for planning, buying noninvasive qualifying trees, site preparation, planting, training, and up to 5 years of maintenance and monitoring. HUD would coordinate with the Forest Service and must publish a notice of funding opportunity and set up the program on the timelines in the bill. *This bill would authorize $50 million per year from 2026 through 2036 for the program, increasing federal spending.*
