The "Safe Spaces for All Act" proposes amendments to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, specifically targeting the Nonprofit Security Grant Program . The primary goal is to clarify and expand the types of security-related expenses that eligible nonprofit organizations can cover using these federal grants. Key changes include explicitly allowing funds to be used for the hiring of onsite security personnel and the hiring of off-duty police officers to enhance protection. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that grant funds can cover expenses related to both the application for and administration of the grant. A new provision also permits the hiring of personnel specifically to assist with the grant application process, with such expenses capped at 5 percent of the total grant amount.
