AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which governs HUD homeless assistance programs. It expands who counts as homeless, including children, youth, and families verified as homeless under other federal programs such as school, Head Start, and runaway youth programs, and it changes a 14-day housing-loss timeline to 30 days. It bars HUD from giving different scoring priority to different homeless groups or housing models unless local data or plans support it. It requires HUD to post yearly homeless data online and to report to Congress each year. Programs serving families or youth must name a staff person to connect children to school and related services.
