What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Administration provides transitional

housing grants to counties, municipalities, community action agencies, and private

organizations for the purpose of providing housing and associated supportive

services to homeless individuals and families in order to facilitate the movement of

homeless persons to independent living. This bill provides an additional $2,500,000

in the 2017-19 fiscal biennium to fund that grant program.

Also, under the bill, in awarding transitional housing grants, DOA must give

priority to counties, municipalities, community action agencies, and private

organizations using rapid-rehousing and housing first program models, as

determined by the department.
