Bill > S965

This bill amends the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness by modifying its funding authorization and structure. Specifically, the bill removes the previous specific fiscal year funding limit of $3,000,000 for fiscal year 2010 and replaces it with more flexible language allowing "such sums as may be necessary" to carry out the council's activities. The bill also eliminates section 209 of the original act entirely and renumbers the subsequent section (previously section 210) to become the new section 209. Additionally, the bill updates the table of contents in the original act to reflect these changes, replacing the entries for sections 209 and 210 with a new entry for section 209 titled "Encouragement of State involvement." These modifications provide more budgetary flexibility for the Interagency Council on Homelessness and simplify the act's organizational structure.
