Bill overview
The Healing Act of 2020 aims to provide emergency economic relief to communities that have experienced significant damage from civil unrest and social crises, particularly during 2020. It directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to distribute funds through a modified Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and establish a Civil Unrest Business Recovery Program. The bill prioritizes investments in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, historically disinvested communities of color, minority-serving institutions, and businesses owned by minorities, while also supporting anti-poverty initiatives and sustainable economic development. The program is set to expire after two years.
