Summary

The Secretary must use federal allotment money that a State did not take to make grants to public and nonprofit groups. Those grants pay for services to help eligible homeless people get the program services. The funds come from allotments not paid to a State because the State failed to submit an application, sent one late or improperly, or told the Secretary it would not spend the full allotment. Money tied to a State can only be used for grants that provide services inside that same State.
