Bill overview
This bill, the Public Housing Fire Safety Act, aims to improve fire safety in public housing by creating a grant program for public housing agencies to install automatic sprinkler systems. The program will focus on ‘exempted’ public housing projects – those that are not newly constructed or subject to certain fire safety regulations. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to report on the prevalence of sprinkler systems in public housing and offer recommendations for improvement.
