Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Safe Spaces for All Act amends the Homeland Security Act to expand the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which provides federal funding to help nonprofits improve their security. The bill clarifies that grant money can be used for hiring onsite security personnel, off-duty police officers, and staff dedicated to applying for and administering the grants themselves. The legislation caps administrative costs for grant application work at 5 percent of the total grant amount. The bill affects nonprofits across the country that are vulnerable to security threats and seek federal assistance to protect their facilities and members. No specific funding amount or timeline is established in the legislation, as it primarily clarifies existing program rules rather than creating new appropriations.
