PAWS Reauthorization Act of 2023
The PAWS Reauthorization Act of 2023 extends the Emergency and Transitional Pet Shelter and Housing Assistance Grant Program through 2028, replacing its previous 2019-2023 authorization period. This program provides federal grants to animal shelters and housing providers that assist pet owners in emergency situations, such as domestic violence victims who cannot leave their pets behind. The bill amends Section 12502(b)(8)(A) of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to update the funding timeframe. This extension directly affects animal welfare organizations and vulnerable pet owners seeking crisis housing support.
