Pray Safe Act of 2025
Summary
The Pray Safe Act of 2025 would direct the Department of Homeland Security to establish a Federal Clearinghouse on Safety and Security Best Practices for nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, and houses of worship. The clearinghouse would be created within 270 days of enactment and would operate for four years unless extended. It would provide centralized access to information on safety and security best practices, available federal grant programs, and training materials to help these organizations improve their security measures. The bill would also require the Government Accountability Office to report on federal grants aimed at ensuring the safety and security of these organizations and evaluate the effectiveness of relevant programs. Supporters note the bill would not create new grant programs or impose mandates, but rather streamline and make more accessible resources Congress has already authorized. The legislation is bipartisan, with support from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the Senate and House.
