THREAT Act

The Targeting Homeland Security Resources Effectively Against Terrorism Act (THREAT Act) would establish a federal grant program specifically designed to support cities at the highest risk of terrorist attacks. Under this bill, the Department of Homeland Security would provide direct funding to no more than 15 high-density urban areas each year, selected based on their population size, the presence of critical infrastructure, and the severity of specific threats. For citizens in these areas, the bill aims to improve local safety by ensuring that anti-terrorism resources are concentrated where they are most needed and that funds are delivered directly to local governments rather than being diverted through state agencies.
