Inventory of Federal Programs That May Assist Homeless Families with Children
Description:
This inventory of federal programs that have the capacity to serve homeless families with children has been developed by the member agencies of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). The inventory consists of both targeted homeless programs, which are designed specifically to serve persons experiencing homelessness, as well as mainstream programs, whose mission may be to serve a far broader population, but for which persons experiencing homelessness may be eligible by virtue of the program’s eligibility criteria. All programs included have the capacity to benefit families. The purpose of this inventory is to provide a current picture of all existing federal initiatives, help identify gaps or overlaps in services that may exist across programs, and offer new avenues for program collaboration.
