Summary

Replaces a one-time FY2010 $3,000,000 appropriation reference in Title II of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act with an open-ended authorization of “such sums as may be necessary,” removes one obsolete statutory subsection, redesignates another, and updates the Act’s table of contents. The changes are technical and conforming: they alter statutory text and headings but do not create new programs, set funding amounts, add agencies, or impose new deadlines.

Key Points

• Replaces a singled-out FY2010 $3,000,000 appropriation reference with an open-ended "such sums as may be necessary" authorization for Title II of McKinney‑Vento.
• Removes one statutory subsection (former section 209) and redesignates the next subsection (former 210) as the new section 209.
• Updates the Act’s table of contents to reflect the removal and redesignation.
• Changes are technical and conforming; no new programs, agencies, or reporting deadlines are created.
• Does not appropriate funds or guarantee future funding—Congress would still need to pass appropriations.
• Gives statutory authorization language that can support future appropriations for Title II activities.
• Main administrative impact is clean up of statutory text and headings, reducing outdated references.
• Affects the written authorization structure but does not change program eligibility, benefits, or service delivery rules.
• Impacts are primarily administrative for HUD and current grantees; direct services and beneficiaries are unaffected unless and until Congress appropriates funds under the authorization.
