S 735 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.

This bill (S 735) modifies funding authorization for the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. It removes fixed annual funding amounts (like the $3 million for 2010) and replaces them with flexible language allowing "such sums as may be necessary" for all fiscal years, ensuring funding can adjust as needed. The bill also reorganizes the law’s structure by removing Section 209 and redesignating Section 210 as Section 209, which now focuses on "Encouragement of State involvement" in homelessness efforts. These changes aim to streamline operations and strengthen state collaboration without altering core program requirements.
