## Summary

**This bill would permanently authorize an Emergency Safety and Security Grant Program** in the United States Housing Act of 1937 to fund safety, security, and health upgrades in public housing. It ties the program to the Capital Fund set-aside and authorizes $225.0 million in annual appropriations. - Families and residents: Public housing residents could get more security cameras, fencing, lighting, alarm systems, window bars, stronger locks and doors, plus carbon monoxide and smoke detectors and measures to meet minimum heating guidelines. - Public housing agencies: Public housing agencies would be eligible to apply and may submit separate applications for distinct uses. Grants are capped at $250,000 per PHA per year unless the PHA is labeled extra large or has more than 5,000 units. - Federal funding and program design: The program would be funded from amounts appropriated under the new paragraph and a Secretary-determined set-aside from the Capital Fund formula, creating a continuing funding stream for these safety and health measures. *If enacted, this bill would authorize $225.0 million per year for emergency safety grants, increasing federal spending when appropriated.*
