The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness coordinates federal efforts to address homelessness, but its funding authorization expired years ago. This bill reauthorizes the Council with open-ended funding ("such sums as may be necessary") instead of a fixed dollar amount, and removes a sunset provision that had set the Council up to expire. It's a relatively simple housekeeping measure, but it ensures that the federal body responsible for coordinating homelessness policy across 19 federal agencies continues to operate with stable legislative backing.
Congressional Summary
This bill permanently reauthorizes the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, an independent federal agency within the executive branch that coordinates the federal response to prevent and end homelessness.
