Expanded Housing Aid: Support for Homeless and Those in Need

This new law makes it easier for cities and states to use funds to help people experiencing homelessness and those at risk of losing their homes. It increases flexibility in spending money on public services like shelters and rental assistance, and changes rules for counting income when providing emergency housing aid.
Key points
Easier access to funds for combating homelessness and providing rental assistance for cities and states.
Emergency housing payments (up to 6 months) will not count as income, making it easier to qualify for other aid programs.
