Just this morning, Congress passed a sweeping, two-year budget agreement that raises the caps on overall spending for domestic programs like the ones that fund homelessness assistance. This is a major step forward toward achieving our goals to secure more funding for federal homelessness programs.
You can learn more about the budget deal, and what comes next, in this new blog post.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work. This success would not have been possible if not for the thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls you all have made in the last year. Our effort is paying off, and Congress is listening.
But the job isn't done. The House and Senate Appropriations Committees are now working on bills to determine how this money will be dispersed across all federal programs.
We still need to secure an increase to $2.6 billion for the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants by March 23rd. The Alliance will be reaching out over the coming days and weeks, and we have created easy-to-use tools to help you.
