What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
