What this bill would do
The Liberty City Rising Act aims to improve safety and security for families in public and federally assisted housing located in high-crime areas. It requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to define high-crime areas and set specific safety and security standards for these locations. These standards may include things like security cameras, locks, and lighting. The bill also mandates the creation of anonymous hotlines for tenants to report crimes and suspicious activity. Additionally, it gives grant priority for safety and security funding to public housing projects in these high-crime areas.
