TITLE: Lautenberg Measure to Fund Housing Security Initiatives Passes Key Senate Committee
DESCRIPTION:
Time: 10:04:26
A measure by U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) to set aside funding for
emergency safety and security programs in public housing was included in a bill
passed by a key Senate committee Thursday.
The measure was part of the Fiscal Year 2009 Transportation, Housing and
Urban Development Appropriations bill that passed the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. This bill must be approved by both the Senate and House of
Representatives before it can be signed into law by the President. President
Bush has threatened to veto this bill.
“As public housing authorities struggle to deal with rising energy
and maintenance costs, they face cuts in essential services such as security
guards and cameras,” Sen. Lautenberg, a member of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations, said. “This funding would make sure that these
public safety measures continue and help residents feel safe in their homes.”
Sen. Lautenberg’s measure would allocate $20 million for public housing
safety and security programs nationwide. These funds could be used for crime
prevention programs such as installing security cameras or employing security
personnel.
The $20 million in funding is part of a total $100 million allocated to the
Public Housing Capital Fund. The Public Housing Capital Fund helps public
housing authorities pay for maintenance and major repairs to public housing.
