Overview
Text
Bill Intelligence

The bill proposes to amend the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, allowing recipients to request waivers for expenditure limits from 2027 to 2030. To obtain a waiver, recipients must demonstrate local needs, provide a plan for fund usage, justify how it supports their Consolidated Plan, and solicit public input. Requests will be made public on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website and must be approved or denied within 60 days. However, waivers will be denied if recipients relocate individuals without providing housing options. Approved waivers will remain in effect unless revoked, which requires subrecipient input and justification. Any revocations will be publicly published.
