Incentivizing Local Solutions to Homelessness Act

Introduced·5/19/26

Incentivizing Local Solutions to Homelessness Act allows recipients to request a waiver for funding cap limits to address local homelessness needs.

The Incentivizing Local Solutions to Homelessness Act amends the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to allow recipients to request a waiver for funding cap limits for fiscal years 2027 through 2030. Recipients must submit a waiver request to the Secretary, including a demonstration of local needs, a detailed plan for fund use, and justification for the proposed use of funds. The Secretary can deny a waiver if the recipient relocates individuals without providing necessary housing options.
