Public Housing Safety: New Standards and Support

This act introduces new safety standards for residents of public and federally assisted housing, especially in high-crime areas. This means housing agencies will need to provide better security measures like cameras and improved locks, and establish anonymous hotlines for reporting crimes. The goal is to enhance safety and improve living conditions in these communities.
Key points
Mandatory safety standards for public housing in high-crime areas, including security cameras, locks, and lighting.
Requirement for anonymous hotlines for tenants to report suspicious activity and crimes.
Priority for grant funding for public housing projects in high-crime areas to implement safety and security measures.
