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.

Who Bears the Burden and How

HUD would need to administer the 50 percent wraparound-services allocation and annual certification/reporting; low-barrier housing providers and homeless individuals unable or unwilling to meet prerequisites could face reduced access or funding emphasis.

Key Provisions

  • Bars HUD from prohibiting, limiting, or restricting CoC grants to providers requiring supportive services.
  • Bars HUD from restricting grants to providers that use occupancy or assistance prerequisites such as sobriety or lack of drug use.
  • Bars restriction of grants to faith-based organizations.
  • Requires at least 50 percent of CoC funds each fiscal year to be used by recipients that provide or offer access to wraparound services.
  • Requires annual certification and a congressional report on NOFO compliance.
