Summary of Bill HR 1485

Bill 119 HR 1485, also known as the "Shelter and Services Program Termination Act," aims to end the Shelter and Services Program operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This program provides assistance to individuals and communities affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods.

The bill proposes to terminate this program and redirect its funding and resources to other disaster relief efforts. Supporters of the bill argue that the current program is inefficient and duplicative of other existing programs within FEMA and other federal agencies.

Opponents of the bill, however, express concerns that terminating the Shelter and Services Program could leave vulnerable populations without access to critical resources during times of crisis. They argue that the program plays a crucial role in providing temporary shelter, food, and other essential services to those in need. In addition to terminating the Shelter and Services Program, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to disaster relief efforts. These provisions are not specified in the summary provided. Overall, the passage of Bill 119 HR 1485 would have significant implications for how FEMA provides assistance to individuals and communities affected by natural disasters. It is important for lawmakers to carefully consider the potential impacts of terminating the Shelter and Services Program before making a decision on this bill.
