Thriving Communities Act of 2024

The Thriving Communities Act of 2024 establishes a federal grant program to provide technical assistance and funding for infrastructure projects in underserved communities. It directs the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development secretaries to jointly administer the program, with $100 million annually for Transportation and $5.5 million for HUD coordination. The bill requires annual reports detailing how projects promote transit-oriented development, interagency coordination, and the equity metrics used to distribute funds. This directly affects low-income and historically marginalized communities seeking to build sustainable, accessible infrastructure.
