Homelessness: Appropriate Controls Implemented for 1990 McKinney Amendments' PATH Program

Pursuant to a congressional request and a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Projects for Assistance in Transition From Homelessness (PATH) Program, focusing on how: (1) HHS ensures that PATH expenditures are consistent with the 1990 McKinney Act amendments; (2) HHS and states ensure that PATH funds reach the target population; and (3) local providers assess the appropriateness of homeless individuals receiving PATH services.
