Bill overview
The Public Housing Fire Safety Act creates a grant program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help public housing agencies install automatic sprinkler systems in certain public housing projects. The goal is to improve fire safety in these buildings, particularly those that don't qualify for mandatory sprinkler requirements. The bill also directs the Secretary of HUD to report on the prevalence of sprinkler systems and offer recommendations for improvement. Finally, it authorizes $25 million annually for the grant program over ten years.
