What this bill would do

This bill aims to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. It proposes specific changes to Title II of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The primary action involves amending the authorization of appropriations. Specifically, it replaces a fixed dollar amount for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 with a broader standard. It also strikes section 209 and redesignates section 210 as section 209.
