Safe Spaces for All Act
To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to clarify certain requirements relating to the Nonprofit Security Grant Program of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.
The Safe Spaces for All Act, introduced as HB9966, aims to modify the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Specifically, it seeks to clarify the criteria for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, managed by the Department of Homeland Security. This bill is designed to ensure that non-profit organizations receive the necessary funding and guidance to enhance their security measures and protect their spaces.
This legislation would primarily impact non-profit organizations that rely on these grants to improve their security infrastructure. By providing clearer guidelines, the bill aims to make it easier for these organizations to qualify for and utilize the available funding effectively. The changes could result in increased security measures, potentially reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing the safety of these organizations.
As of July 27, 2026, HB9966 has just been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Homeland Security. These committees will review the bill and determine its next steps in the legislative process.
