A resolution to urge the United States Department of Homeland Security to immediately release 56 million dollars in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds allocated to the state of Michigan.
This House Resolution (HR 51) is a symbolic request urging the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to release $56 million in FEMA disaster relief funds already allocated to Michigan. It directly affects Michigan's emergency management agencies, local governments, and nonprofits that rely on these funds for disaster response, recovery, and public safety programs. The resolution states delays in releasing these funds strain state resources and risk disrupting critical emergency services following natural disasters. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change funding policy but formally requests federal action.
