Summary

Replaces a one-time and limited-year funding authorization in Title II of the McKinney-Vento Act with an open-ended “such sums as may be necessary” authorization and removes the statutory expiration date for the federal homelessness Council, while keeping the law’s provisions that encourage State interagency coordination and a State contact point. Also corrects the Act’s table of contents and renumbers the State involvement provision so it remains in force. The change does not itself appropriate money or create new programs; it alters how funds for Title II may be authorized going forward and removes an explicit statutory sunset date for the Council, potentially allowing continued authorization of funding and ongoing federal Council activity unless Congress acts otherwise.

• Replaces a limited, dated funding authorization for Title II with a continuing "such sums as may be necessary" authorization.
• Removes the statutory expiration/sunset date for the federal Council under Title II so the Council no longer has a legislated end date.
• Preserves State interagency coordination and State contact provisions by renumbering them rather than eliminating them.
• Corrects the Act’s table of contents and section numbering for clarity and consistency.
• Does not appropriate funds or change program eligibility or operational requirements.
• Leaves Congress responsible for actual appropriations despite broader authorization language.
• Reduces the need for a future reauthorization solely to prevent program termination, while leaving substantive authority with Congress.
• Primarily administrative and technical changes rather than policy or programmatic overhauls.
