What it does
The CLUSTER Act would amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to allow federal disaster assistance funds to be used for community hardening or cluster hardening—coordinated mitigation efforts across private residential structures—to improve threat resistance and safety. This change would affect homeowners and communities seeking federal support for disaster resilience projects by expanding eligible uses of assistance under Section 404 of the Stafford Act. The bill specifically adds community hardening as a new eligible activity, enabling coordinated, neighborhood-scale upgrades to reduce vulnerability to disasters.
