Which federal program directly addresses the issue of homelessness?

The Homeless Assistance Grants program is designed specifically to address the needs of homeless individuals and families. This program provides essential funding for a variety of initiatives aimed at helping those who are experiencing homelessness, such as temporary housing, supportive services, and outreach programs. Its focus is on providing immediate assistance as well as longer-term solutions to help individuals and families achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

In contrast, the other options serve different purposes within the housing and urban development landscape. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit primarily incentivizes the development of affordable rental housing but does not specifically target homelessness directly. The Community Development Block Grant focuses on broader community development objectives, enabling communities to develop viable urban communities, which can include improving housing but is not solely centered on homelessness. The Public Housing Capital Fund provides funding for major repairs and improvements to public housing but does not directly address the immediate needs of the homeless population.
