Findings and Purpose of Bills -- Health Issues -- Emergency Food and Food Stamp Issues -- Income Maintenance Issues -- Prevention of Homelessness of Disabled and Institutionalized Persons -- Housing Issues -- Increased Low-Income Housing.

This paper compares the provisions of three bills introduced in the 100th Congress: H.R. 4, H.R. 286, and H.R. 558. All of these bills attempt to provide not only support services and emergency shelter for the homeless, but also strive to prevent homelessness through the preservation of the existing housing stock occupied by low-income persons.
