Makes targeted changes to the McKinney‑Vento Homeless Assistance Act to tighten and clarify who is eligible for homeless assistance programs, require wider and more frequent public reporting of Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data, change how HUD scores grant applications, and add new reporting requirements to Congress. It requires communities to count people identified as homeless by any federally funded program, requires HUD to publish HMIS data at least annually, and bars HUD from favoring a subpopulation, program model, or national priority absent local data support.
