Grants for state and tribal resilience offices
If enacted, this bill would let HUD provide formula grants to States, territories, and Indian tribes to set up and run local resiliency offices. It would authorize $100 million for each fiscal year 2025 through 2030. Ten percent of each year’s funding would be reserved for Indian tribes, awarded by competition. Grants would be large enough to fund at least 24 months of activities, and HUD could use up to 1.0 percent for administration and technical help. Eligible offices would need to develop and update a resiliency framework at least every five years and run planning, technical assistance, coordination, and pre-disaster mitigation programs. Grant money would be limited to those office and program activities and to paying non‑Federal shares. HUD would prioritize applications showing greatest need and benefits to disadvantaged communities and requiring prevailing wages for subgrants. Grantees would report to HUD within 90 days after each fiscal year end on activities, costs, and effectiveness.
