Creates new grants to build more homeless shelters and housing nationwide
This bill would create a new grant program to help communities build and improve homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing across the country. It would set aside $500 million each year for five years to help state and local governments, tribal groups, and non-profits fund these projects. This aims to increase housing options for people experiencing homelessness.
If this bill becomes law, a new competitive grant program would be established under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. This program would set aside $500,000,000 annually for five years (from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031). This money would fund construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of shelters and permanent supportive housing nationwide.
