This bill proposes amendments to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to enhance the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. A key provision removes specific appropriation limits, replacing them with an authorization for "such sums as may be necessary" to carry out the Council's functions, thereby providing more flexible and potentially increased funding. Additionally, the legislation strikes the Council's termination clause, effectively establishing it as a permanent entity within the federal government. These changes aim to strengthen the Council's operational capacity and ensure its long-term commitment to coordinating federal efforts to address homelessness, alongside technical adjustments to section numbering.
