The Housing to Homes Act of 2025 amends the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to expand the eligible activities under the Continuum of Care Program . It specifically defines a "furniture bank" as a charity or nonprofit providing household furnishings to needy individuals at little to no cost. This expansion allows Continuum of Care funds to be used for payments to these furniture banks to cover the costs of providing household furnishings, including delivery, installation, and assembly. These furnishings are intended for individuals who are currently homeless, were homeless within the prior six months and are now in permanent housing, or were homeless and are in permanent supportive housing; importantly, the furnishings become the sole property of the individual or family. The bill also requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to submit a report to Congress within three years on the impact of these payments and to annually publish a report on "furniture poverty" in the United States. This Act and its amendments are set to be repealed five years after its enactment.
