Ensuring Continued Access to Funding for Colonias Act

This bill amends the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act to update eligibility requirements for the Community Development Block Grant Colonia Set-Aside Program . The legislation specifically targets the metropolitan statistical area population limits that determine program eligibility. It proposes to increase this population threshold from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000. This change is designed to expand the number of communities that can qualify for the program, thereby ensuring continued access to critical funding for colonias.
