Federal aid for homeless children, youth, and families would reach more people and prioritize local needs.
This bill would make it easier for homeless children, youth, and families to get federal housing and service assistance by broadening the definition of who counts as homeless. It would also require federal programs to give more weight to local community priorities and make detailed homelessness data publicly available online.
Today, federal definitions of homelessness can be narrow, sometimes making it hard for families sharing housing or those recognized as homeless by other federal programs to get help. Federal grant decisions can also prioritize certain types of programs or populations. After this bill, the definition of homelessness would be broader, allowing more children, youth, and families to qualify for aid. Federal grant decisions would be required to prioritize local community needs and make detailed data about homelessness publicly available.
