One way that members of Congress can show support for ending homelessness is by working to secure adequate funding for the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants programs. Each year, key members of the House and Senate circulate “Dear Colleague” letters which propose necessary funding levels for homelessness programs. By signing onto a letter in support of federal funding, individual representatives demonstrate their commitment to ending homelessness.
