About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 18, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This bill extends the deadline for organizations to spend federal funding designated for homeless children and youth under the American Rescue Plan Act. Originally, these organizations had a specific deadline to obligate and use the money, but this legislation pushes that deadline back to September 30, 2025, giving them additional time to deploy the funds. The bill affects nonprofits, schools, and other entities that received grants to support homeless youth through housing, education, and other services. No new funding is being created by this bill—it simply extends the timeline for spending money that was already appropriated under the American Rescue Plan. The change allows organizations more flexibility to plan and implement their programs without losing unspent funds due to bureaucratic deadlines.
