A bill to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.
Sponsored By: Senator Reed, Jack [D-RI]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would shift funding for the Interagency Council on Homelessness to a flexible, ongoing funding authorization instead of a fixed initial appropriation. It removes the statutory $3 million FY2010 line and the temporary FY2011 language, repeals one section and renumbers another in Title II of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and places a new Section 209 titled Encouragement of State involvement in the table of contents to signal a focus on State engagement while leaving annual funding levels to the regular appropriations process.

Funding and structure for homelessness council
This bill would change how the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness is funded and organized. It would remove the old one-time $3,000,000 statutory payment and replace it with "such sums as may be necessary," so annual appropriations would decide funding. The bill would repeal section 209 and rename section 210 to be section 209, and the table of contents would show a new heading encouraging State involvement. If enacted, agencies and service providers could face more uncertainty about future federal coordination money.
