Wants stronger protections for tenants and equity-focused targeting, and will look for adequate funding and community involvement.
Generally favorable to targeted grants that improve public safety and local capacity, but seeks clarity on funding amounts, oversight, and duplication with existing HUD or local programs.
Favors measurable pilots and conservative fiscal management.
Skeptical about expanding federal grant programs into local code enforcement; concerned about federal overreach, administrative costs, and long-term obligations.
May accept limited voluntary grants if strictly non-preemptive and locally controlled.
