Ending Homelessness Act of 2025
The Ending Homelessness Act of 2025 would expand housing assistance to reduce homelessness through several key provisions. It would allocate 500,000 additional housing choice vouchers in 2025, increasing to 1 million annually by 2028 for extremely low-income families and individuals receiving supplemental security income. The bill prohibits housing discrimination based on source of income (including housing vouchers and Social Security benefits), provides $1 billion annually for emergency relief grants targeting high-need areas, and establishes a permanent entitlement program for housing vouchers starting in 2029. It also repeals certain ineligibility criteria for housing assistance and makes faith-based and private nonprofit organizations eligible for funding.
