What it does
The FASTER Act would authorize FEMA to provide grants to fire departments for programs that improve home safety and prevent falls among older adults, including installing safety devices, hiring community paramedicine personnel, and making minor home modifications. Grants would be awarded competitively for three-year periods, with federal cost-sharing decreasing from 75% in the first two years to 35% in the third year, and would require applicants to demonstrate a long-term sustainability plan. The bill also includes provisions for technical assistance, performance evaluation, reporting to Congress, and a sunset date of September 30, 2036.
