REPORT ON EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER GRANT PROGRAM.

SEC. 301. REPORT ON EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER GRANT PROGRAM. Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall submit a report to the appropriate committees of the Congress on the emergency food and shelter grant program administered under subtitle B of title III of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11341 et seq.). The report shall include— (1) proposed legislation for a minimum of 2 alternative statutory formulas incorporating the criteria on which the distribution and disbursement of such grants is based, including utilization of data that reflect the number of long-term unemployed workers in the States involved (including those whose unemployment benefits have run out and those who have been out of work so long they are no longer actively seeking employment); and (2) supporting evidence for each alternative formula and criteria that explains how each formula would be effective in targeting such grants to the areas in the Nation that have the greatest need.
