Bill overview
This bill, the Transitional Housing Protection for the Homeless Act, amends the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to clarify the definition of ‘chronically homeless.’ Specifically, it changes how long someone must shelter continuously to be considered chronically homeless, shifting the focus to a cumulative period of over a year in the last three years. It also defines transitional housing as a factor that can lead to a person being considered chronically homeless if they enter the program after meeting certain criteria. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is tasked with updating regulations to reflect these changes.
