AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to set up, within 270 days, an online Federal Clearinghouse that publishes safety and security best practices for nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, and houses of worship. The Clearinghouse would also list federal grant programs these groups can apply for, link to applications, and name at least one staff contact to help them. Federal agencies would have to send the Clearinghouse information on their grant programs, and states could choose to share theirs. The department would update the Clearinghouse at least once a year and report to Congress every 3 years, and the Government Accountability Office would report on federal safety grants for these groups. The law would end 4 years after it takes effect.
