Five kinds of activity must be given priority
What the document says“``(A) assist persons with extremely low-, low-, and moderate-incomes and other vulnerable populations to better recover from and withstand future disasters; ``(B) address housing needs arising from a disaster, or those needs present prior to a disaster, including the needs of both renters and homeowners;”
The new section 124 requires a grantee to prioritize activities that help people with extremely low, low, and moderate incomes and other vulnerable populations recover and withstand future disasters, address housing needs arising from or predating the disaster for both renters and owners, prolong the life of housing and infrastructure, use cost-effective means of preventing harm with protective features and redundancies, and otherwise assure critical services continue during future disasters.
What the document actually says“``(A) assist persons with extremely low-, low-, and moderate-incomes and other vulnerable populations to better recover from and withstand future disasters; ``(B) address housing needs arising from a disaster, or those needs present prior to a disaster, including the needs of both renters and homeowners;”
Work that helps people with the least money comes first. So does work that helps them stand up to the next disaster. Work on housing needs also comes first, for renters and for owners alike.
Priority sets the order, not the amount. Five kinds of work are named. Some address the last disaster and some the next one.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
