SUMMARY: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a $400 million increase in federal funding for security in places of worship amidst rising concerns about threats against Jewish and Muslim communities. The money will be available through the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program, allowing synagogues and mosques to hire security personnel or install cameras. Last year, the program allocated $305 million to protect nonprofit facilities from potential attacks.

Houses of worship must apply by May 21 to access the initial round of funds. Schumer emphasized the importance of ensuring religious institutions are not living in fear.
