Pray Safe Act of 2023
The Pray Safe Act of 2023 establishes a federal Clearinghouse within the Department of Homeland Security to provide evidence-based safety and security resources for houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations. The Clearinghouse compiles best practices covering threat prevention, emergency response, and recovery, along with a comprehensive index of federal grant programs available to these groups. It requires annual updates based on user feedback and includes contact points for security assistance, such as Protective Security Advisors and fusion centers. The resource aims to improve safety planning without creating new obligations for affected organizations.
