Bill 119 HR 834, also known as the "Disaster Assistance for Common Interest Communities Act," aims to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to provide assistance for common interest communities, condominiums, and housing cooperatives that have been damaged by a major disaster.

By providing specific assistance for these communities, the bill seeks to ensure that all residents are able to recover and rebuild after a disaster strikes.

In addition to providing assistance for common interest communities, condominiums, and housing cooperatives, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to disaster relief and emergency assistance. This may include additional funding for disaster response and recovery efforts, as well as measures to improve coordination between federal, state, and local agencies in the event of a major disaster. Overall, Bill 119 HR 834 represents a bipartisan effort to address the needs of a specific group of housing structures that are often overlooked in disaster relief efforts. By providing targeted assistance for common interest communities, condominiums, and housing cooperatives, the bill aims to ensure that all individuals and families affected by a major disaster have access to the support they need to rebuild and recover.
