HR Bill 1668 To terminate the Shelter and Services Program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and for other purposes.Updated 8 days ago

Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-02-27

Bill 119 HR 1668, also known as the "Shelter and Services Program Termination Act," aims to end the Shelter and Services Program operated by the Federa...

l Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The program provides assistance to individuals and families who have been displaced by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. The bill proposes to terminate this program and redirect the funds and resources to other purposes. The exact nature of these other purposes is not specified in the bill itself, leaving room for interpretation and potential debate. Supporters of the bill argue that the Shelter and Services Program is redundant and inefficient, and that the funds could be better utilized in other areas of disaster relief and recovery. They believe that ending the program will streamline FEMA's operations and improve overall effectiveness in responding to emergencies. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that terminating the Shelter and Services Program will leave vulnerable populations without crucial support in times of crisis. They believe that the program plays a vital role in providing temporary shelter, food, and other essential services to those in need, and that cutting it would have negative consequences for disaster-affected communities. As of now, the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been voted on by Congress. It remains to be seen how lawmakers will ultimately decide on the fate of the Shelter and Services Program.

Recent Activity

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations, and in addition to the Committees on Financial Services, and Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
