The President's Budget Proposal called for a 19 percent increase in funding for HUD's McKinney-Vento programs, to $2.381 billion for fiscal year (FY) 2014. However, the President's Budget Proposal is not law, but is meant to guide Congress as it works through the appropriations process. Therefore, we need YOUR help to make this proposal a reality!

The Alliance has submitted comments on a new proposal by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that would change regulations defining chronic homelessness for all of HUD's homeless assistance programs. The proposed definition would introduce a time measurement for an episode of homelessness that would disqualify a significant number of vulnerable people from receiving permanent supportive housing.

This fact sheet highlights key information for beginning conversations with community leaders and partners about health care benefits enrollment, including where to go for more specific information. Under the Affordable Care Act 2010, new state programs and processes could affect how vulnerable homeless people receive medical services, behavioral health treatment and long-term supports; and how these services are funded in communities. In many topic areas, definitive answers to questions that may arise are not yet available, or may vary from state to state. The Alliance will continue to update this resource as new information becomes available.
