BLANKET Act Building Local Access for Needs in Key Emergency...
To amend subtitle B of title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act to establish supplemental severe weather emergency solutions grants, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9303, proposes to create additional funding and support for communities facing severe weather emergencies. Specifically, it aims to amend the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act to establish grants for local governments to address critical needs during severe weather events. This would help ensure that people in vulnerable situations have access to necessary resources during emergencies.
The bill would mainly affect local governments and organizations that provide support to homeless individuals, particularly during times of extreme weather. By providing these grants, the bill aims to improve the ability of communities to respond effectively to severe weather, thereby reducing the impact on those who are most at risk.
HB9303 was introduced on June 11, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This is the initial step in the legislative process, and it will now be reviewed by the committee before potentially moving forward for further consideration. There have been no further actions or history recorded as of the last status update on June 11, 2026.
