Funding Local Resilience: Better Disaster Preparedness and Community Recovery Grants.

This act authorizes the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide grants to states and tribes to establish local resilience offices. The goal is to help communities better prepare for extreme weather and other disasters, ensuring faster recovery of infrastructure, housing, and the local economy after crises. Priority will be given to projects assisting the most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
Key points
Disaster Preparedness Funding: Authorizes $100 million annually (2025-2030) to support local efforts aimed at increasing resilience against natural disasters and extreme weather.
Mandatory Local Planning: Requires grantees to develop and update comprehensive resilience frameworks every 5 years, covering infrastructure, health, housing, and the economy.
Focus on Equity: Priority is given to grant applications that identify risks in disadvantaged communities and prioritize projects benefiting those areas.
