S. 374, known as the "Direct Property Acquisitions Act," proposes a pilot program allowing select local governments, termed "covered communities," to directly apply for federal hazard mitigation assistance for property acquisitions and structure demolitions or relocations....
Simple Explanation
The Direct Property Acquisitions Act is like setting up a special test for certain towns to try getting help from the government to buy land and move buildings if they are in danger, like from a storm. There will only be a few towns picked in each region, and they can try this test for up to 4 years to see if it works well.
