To amend the United States Housing Act of 1937 to permanently authorize the emergency safety and security grant program, and for other purposes.

# HR 7360 Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would make permanent a federal grant program that helps public housing authorities address emergency safety and security needs. Currently, this emergency grant program operates on a temporary basis and must be reauthorized periodically. The bill would establish it as a permanent fixture in federal housing law, eliminating the need for future reauthorizations. **Who It Affects** The legislation primarily affects public housing authorities (local agencies that manage federally-subsidized housing) and the low-income residents who live in public housing.

These grants could be used for urgent safety improvements like emergency repairs, security upgrades, or other critical facility needs that protect residents. **Current Status** HR 7360 is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Daniel Goldman (D-New York). Without further action, the bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
