This bill would amend title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. It would require project sponsors to offer substance use disorder treatment to people admitted to emergency shelter, transitional housing, or permanent housing. The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Tim Burchett and was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
If you run or manage programs covered by title IV, the bill would require your program to offer substance use disorder treatment to people when they are admitted to emergency shelter, transitional housing, or permanent housing. If you are admitted to one of these programs, the bill would mean program staff must offer you substance use disorder treatment at admission.
