Pray Safe Act of 2024
The Pray Safe Act of 2024 creates a DHS-run Federal Clearinghouse to provide evidence-based safety and security guidelines, grant opportunities, and resources specifically for houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits. The online resource will compile best practices for preventing threats, natural disasters, and terrorism, including facility safety checklists and incident response tools, while linking directly to applicable federal grants. The Clearinghouse must be updated annually based on user feedback and will expire four years after enactment. It aims to centralize security support for organizations deemed at risk of threats, without altering existing civil rights protections.
