Address Confidentiality: Enhanced Protection for At-Risk Individuals

The "Safe at Home Act" aims to protect at-risk individuals by allowing them to use a designated mailing address instead of their actual physical address. Federal agencies and courts will be required to accept this substitute address, enhancing citizens' privacy and safety by preventing disclosure of their personal location. These changes will simplify life for those needing anonymity, while still providing exceptions for law enforcement in justified cases.
Key points
Use of Designated Address: At-risk citizens can use a special mailing address for federal agencies and courts, instead of their actual home, school, or work address.
Personal Data Protection: The true physical address of program participants will be confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
No Penalties for Using Designated Address: Individuals participating in the program will not face federal penalties for providing a designated address.
Law Enforcement Exceptions: In federal criminal proceedings or when a federal agency requires the physical address to fulfill legal requirements, a court may order its disclosure, but with confidentiality safeguards.
