What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a grant program under which the Department of

Administration may award a grant of up to $75,000 annually to a municipality for

the purpose of connecting homeless individuals with permanent employment. A

municipality receiving a grant under the program must itself contribute at least

$50,000 for the purpose of the grant. In awarding a grant under the bill, DOA must

give preference to a municipality that obtains an agreement from a nonprofit

organization to provide additional employment and support services to homeless

individuals participating in the grant program.
