Bill 117 HR 4086, also known as the Rehabilitation of Historic Schools Act of 2021, aims to provide funding and support for the restoration and preservation of historic school buildings across the United States. The bill recognizes the importance of these buildings in preserving our nation's history and culture, as well as their potential to serve as valuable community resources.

Overall, the Rehabilitation of Historic Schools Act of 2021 seeks to ensure that these important buildings are preserved for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
