Show full summary
  • People experiencing homelessness: Could see more housing tied to counseling, job training, or addiction treatment and may need to meet prerequisites such as sobriety to get assistance.
  • Faith-based organizations: Would be explicitly eligible for Continuum of Care grants and could operate programs that include religious elements without HUD restriction.
  • Funding and oversight: At least 50% of CoC funds each year would be set aside for entities that provide or offer access to wraparound services, and HUD would have to report within 180 days after each fiscal year to the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee certifying compliance and showing how Notices of Funding Opportunity reflect it.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More services, sobriety rules allowed for homeless housing

If enacted, HUD homeless grants would steer at least 50% each year to groups that provide wraparound services, like counseling, job training, and addiction treatment. HUD would not be allowed to deny or cut grants to groups that require supportive services, set sobriety or no-drug-use rules, or are faith-based. This could mean more services are offered, but some programs could require conditions to get housing or help. Within 180 days after each fiscal year, HUD would have to certify to Congress that it followed these rules and show how that year's funding notices reflect them.
