Project to Protect America Act

H.R. 3272, the Project to Protect America Act, would establish a pilot program to provide a monthly housing allowance to FBI criminal investigators working in high-cost geographic areas. This allowance would be modeled after similar benefits provided to members of the military to help offset the cost of living in expensive cities. The bill aims to improve the recruitment and retention of federal law enforcement officers in regions where housing costs might otherwise discourage qualified investigators from serving.
