Homelessness Support: Changes in Local Program Funding
This act modifies how funds are allocated for homelessness assistance programs, ensuring that smaller cities and counties also receive support. The goal is to better tailor aid to local needs and more effectively use resources to combat homelessness.
Key points
Smaller cities and counties that previously received minimal amounts may now have their funds reallocated to the state or a larger urban county for more effective use.
Exceptions allow certain cities to continue receiving direct grants if they meet specific criteria, such as population size and prior funding history.
Urban counties receiving reallocated funds must spend them to benefit metropolitan cities located within their jurisdiction.
