Extend FEMA Funding to Speed Rebuild | San Jose News
Description
Senator Adam Schiff’s new bill, the Reducing Red Tape for Rebuilding Act, aims to give communities more time and flexibility to rebuild after disasters by extending FEMA’s funding window from 180 days to two years—and letting local governments pick when that clock starts. With cleanup often taking longer than six months, current rules leave rebuilding stalled. The bipartisan legislation also helps address staffing backlogs in permitting departments, with support from key groups like the National Association of Home Builders. Now headed to the Senate Homeland Security Committee, it’s designed to speed up recovery without bureaucratic delays.
