Safe Spaces for All Act
The Safe Spaces for All Act expands funding for nonprofit organizations to hire security personnel, including off-duty police officers. It allows these groups to use grant money to cover the costs of applying for the funds, provided such expenses do not exceed 5% of the total grant amount. By amending the existing Homeland Security Act, the bill directly affects nonprofits that currently seek DHS grants for safety and security purposes. This change aims to broaden the scope of eligible security measures and reduce administrative barriers for applicants.
