The Ending Homelessness Act (H.R.4232) includes one of the HoUSed campaign’s top priorities, ensuring universal rental assistance for every eligible household. The bill would also increase the supply of housing affordable to people with the lowest incomes, prohibit landlords from discriminating against renters based on source of income and veteran status, and enact other critical measures to help end homelessness. Specifically, the bill would: expand the Housing Choice Voucher program, making it a federal entitlement phased in over eight years; appropriate $10 billion over five years for the national Housing Trust Fund and McKinney-Vento homeless assistance grants; permanently authorize the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) and the “McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act;” and provide funding for outreach and case management to connect individuals experiencing homelessness to needed services. The Ending Homelessness Act would fund the development of 410,000 new rental homes for people experiencing homelessness. Researchers from Columbia University project that the bill would lift 9 million people out of poverty, reduce child poverty by more than a third, and decrease racial disparities in poverty rates among Black and white households. It is out goal that within 3 years our 5 unit W.I and W. L. Hunter Memorial Complex will be open to help meet the housing needs in the Alleghany Highlands.
