To direct the Secretary of Transportation, in coordination with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, to establish a thriving communities grant program.

Bill 119 HR 2088, also known as the Thriving Communities Grant Program Act, aims to create a new grant program overseen by the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of this program is to support and promote the development of thriving communities across the United States.

The bill outlines that the grants provided through this program will be used to fund projects and initiatives that enhance the quality of life in communities, improve access to affordable housing, promote economic development, and create sustainable transportation options. These grants will be awarded to local governments, non-profit organizations, and other eligible entities that demonstrate a clear plan for how the funds will be used to achieve these goals.

In order to be eligible for a grant, applicants must submit a detailed proposal outlining their project, including how it aligns with the goals of the program and how it will benefit the community. The Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will review these proposals and award grants to those that best meet the criteria outlined in the bill. Overall, the Thriving Communities Grant Program Act seeks to support the development of vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable communities across the country by providing funding for projects that address key issues such as affordable housing, economic development, and transportation. This bill represents a bipartisan effort to invest in the future of our communities and improve the quality of life for all Americans.
