Plain-English Summary

The federal government currently conducts an annual count of homeless people to help guide housing assistance programs, but this bill would improve how that count is done to get more accurate numbers. Better data would help cities and states better understand their homelessness problems and allocate resources more effectively to help people experiencing homelessness. The changes would affect homeless service providers, local governments, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development that oversees these counts.
