The introduced bill would expand Housing Choice Vouchers, establish a voucher entitlement beginning in FY2029, provide $1 billion annually for FY2025-FY2029 emergency homelessness grants, and require most such grants to support permanent supportive housing.
Assessments
Waters sponsored H.R. 4872, the Ending Homelessness Act of 2025, which substantively matches the promise by proposing major homelessness and affordable housing investments. However, the bill remains only introduced and referred to House committees, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential action, or enacted funding. Because the 119th Congress is still ongoing, the promise is not yet failed, but it has not been delivered.
