Summary

The federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 establishes various programs providing a range of services to homeless people, including the Emergency Shelter Grants Program. Under that program, state and local governments are eligible to apply for federal grant funds for distribution to local government agencies or private nonprofit organizations responsible for direct implementation of eligible activities under the program. The federal Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 amended the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act by, among other things, recasting the Emergency Shelter Grants Program as the Emergency Solutions Grant Program, and shifting more resources available under that program toward homelessness prevention. This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to adopt regulations for the distribution of the unobligated balance of federal Emergency Solutions Grant Program funds received by the state, if any, taking into account specified considerations relating to homelessness.
