More support for local recovery programs
If enacted, the bill would rename and reauthorize the federal recovery grant program to focus on strengthening community recovery. It would explicitly let grants be used to build new recovery infrastructure or strengthen existing recovery services. The bill would authorize $16 million per year for each of fiscal years 2025 through 2029. That replaces the prior statutory authorization of $5 million per year for FY2019–FY2023. Congress would still need to appropriate the funds.
