CARE Act for Those Without Homes

CARE Act for Those Without Homes

This bill authorizes additional grants under the Emergency Solutions Grants program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, for states, local governments, and private nonprofit organizations to assist individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness arising from the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency. Specifically, recipients of these grants may, among other things, use such funds to provide (1) hotel or motel rooms for homeless individuals experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, and (2) deployable medical stations to provide surge beds for homeless individuals.
