Bill overview
This bill, the Pandemic and Public Health Emergency Support for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities Act, aims to provide financial assistance to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support elderly individuals and people with disabilities living in federally owned or subsidized housing during a public health emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill directs HUD to offer housing support services like delivering groceries, meals, and medications to help these vulnerable populations maintain their independence and reduce the risk of contracting illness. It does this by utilizing existing grant programs and other housing assistance mechanisms.
