What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the requirement that a recipient of a transitional housing

grant may not permit homeless persons to reside in housing facilities provided by the

grant recipient for more than 24 months. The Department of Administration

provides transitional housing grants to counties, community action agencies, and

private organizations for the purpose of providing housing and associated supportive

services to homeless individuals and families. In addition to eliminating the

24-month housing occupancy restriction, the bill renames “transitional housing

grants” as “housing grants.”

The bill also eliminates the requirement that DOA reasonably balance among

geographic areas of this state certain grants and loans DOA makes to defray the

housing costs of persons and families of low and moderate income.
