Fighting Homelessness Through Services and Housing Act

HR 516, the *Fighting Homelessness Through Services and Housing Act*, establishes a federal grant program to fund local and tribal efforts addressing homelessness. It provides $1 billion annually for five-year implementation grants (up to $25 million each) and one-year planning grants (up to $100,000) to eligible entities like cities, counties, or tribal organizations. These grants require recipients to offer housing, mental health services, job training, and child-specific support (like education and trauma-informed care), maintain a 1:20 case manager-to-client ratio, and report on outcomes like housing stability and health improvements. The bill mandates that at least 5% of funds target tribal communities and requires non-Federal matching for implementation grants (25% of costs).
