Local groups helping people without homes could get more flexibility with federal funds.
This bill would let local organizations helping people without homes ask for more flexibility with federal funds. For budget years 2027 through 2030, these groups could request waivers to current spending limits, helping them create solutions that better fit their community's needs. It also protects people experiencing homelessness from being moved without new housing options.
Today, local groups that receive federal money to help people experiencing homelessness must follow specific spending limits. If this bill becomes law, these groups would be able to ask for exceptions to those limits for budget years 2027 through 2030. This would give them more flexibility to use funds for local solutions, while also protecting individuals from being moved without new housing options.
