BILL SUMMARY DETAILS

Homelessness (Watch)

SB 68 (Book) HB 163 (Altman) create a dedicated revenue source for grants provided to the state office on homelessness and local homeless continuums of care (CoC). The bills direct $10 million annually from the Sadowski State and Local Housing Trust Funds to the challenge grants. The bills increase the amount of funds available to each CoC for challenge grants from $500,000 to $750,000 and reduces the amount of matching funds or in-kind support required from local governments for a grant recipient from 100% to 25%.
