Housing PLUS Act of 2025
This bill changes how federal homeless assistance funds are distributed. It prevents the government from blocking grants to programs that require supportive services (like job training or addiction treatment) for residents, or that set occupancy conditions (such as sobriety requirements), and protects faith-based organizations from exclusion. At least 50% of funds must go to grantees offering wraparound services, and the government must report annually to Congress on compliance. It directly affects homeless assistance providers receiving McKinney-Vento funds. The bill focuses on funding rules, not new services or outcomes.
