Grants to train local code officers
If enacted, HHS, with HUD and other agencies, would give grants to local governments. The money would train local enforcement officers to spot and respond to health threats from building code violations. Funds could develop and run training, partner with other local governments, and coordinate with public health departments or expert nonprofits. Local governments would apply to HHS. HHS would prioritize applicants with training capacity and areas where threats were found. "Enforcement officers" would mean staff who enforce consensus-based residential building codes and standards.
