McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 established emergency food and shelter programs; programs providing longer-term housing and supportive services; and programs designed to demonstrate effective approaches for providing the homeless with other services, such as physical and mental health, education, and job training. GAO evaluated the act's impact in Baltimore, Maryland; San Antonio, Texas; Seattle, Washington; and St. Louis, Missouri. This report discusses (1) what difference the McKinney Act programs have made in these cities' efforts to help the homeless, (2) what problems the cities have experienced with McKinney Act programs, and (3) what directions the cities' programs for the homeless are taking and what gaps the McKinney Act programs may fill. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-37/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-37.htm GAO/RCED-94-37 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-37 Chapter Report GAO/RCED-94-37; Homelessness: McKinney Act Programs Provide Assistance but Are Not Designed to Be the Solution; Disadvantaged persons Public assistance programs Homelessness Housing programs Health care programs Educational programs Employment or training programs Grants to local governments Information dissemination operations Mental health care services Baltimore (MD) San Antonio (TX) Seattle (WA) St. Louis (MO) Emergency Community Services Homeless Grant FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program Emergency Shelter Grant HUD Rural Homeless Housing Assistance Program HUD Safe Havens Program HUD Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program for SRO Dwellings for Homeless Individuals HUD Shelter Plus Care for the Homeless Program HUD Supportive Housing Demonstration Program HHS Research Demonstration Projects for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment of Homeless Persons HHS Community Mental Health Services Demonstration Projects for Homeless Individuals VA Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans Program HRSA Health Care for the Homeless Program HHS Health Care for Homeless Children Demonstration Program VA Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program HHS Homeless Family Support Services Demonstration Program HHS Projects to Assist in Transition from Homelessness Program DOL Homeless Veterans Reintegration Projects Program DOL Job Training for the Homeless Demonstration Program Dept. of Education Adult Education for the Homeless Program Dept. of Education Homeless Children and Youth Program
