Summary
What This Bill Does
Requires HUD Continuum of Care funds to remain available to grantees using wraparound services, prerequisites such as sobriety or lack of drug use, or faith-based status, and requires at least half of funds to support grantees that provide or offer access to wraparound services.
Who Benefits and How
Faith-based homeless-service providers and providers requiring or offering supportive services, counseling, job training, addiction treatment, or sobriety-related preconditions could receive greater access to Continuum of Care funds.
