Bill overview
This bill aims to establish a crisis evacuation loan program within the State Department’s operations. It modifies the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 to allow for loans to be provided to individuals needing to evacuate during emergencies. The bill redirects funds currently allocated to the Department of Homeland Security’s Shelter and Services Program to support this new evacuation loan program. This would provide financial assistance to those requiring evacuation due to unforeseen crises.
