What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Pray Safe Act of 2025, requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish a federal clearinghouse for safety and security best practices. The clearinghouse will serve as a primary resource to educate nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, and houses of worship on safety measures. It will provide an online platform containing evidence-based recommendations, training materials, and details regarding available federal grant programs. The bill also mandates regular updates to the clearinghouse, reports to Congress, and a GAO report on federal safety grants. Finally, the provisions of this Act are set to expire four years after enactment.
