Liberty City Rising Act of 2023

S 578, the Liberty City Rising Act of 2023, requires public housing agencies and project-based assisted housing owners in designated high-crime areas to implement specific safety measures, including security cameras, locks, and lighting, and establish anonymous hotlines for tenants to report crimes. It defines "high-crime area" using recent violent crime data from local sources and mandates that housing quality inspections include these new safety standards. The bill prioritizes Capital Fund grants for safety projects in such areas and directs HUD to determine high-crime zones within 90 days and establish safety standards within one year. This directly affects public housing agencies and assisted housing owners managing properties in these designated areas.
