The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6553, aims to amend current statutes to enhance the referral process for families seeking shelter. Specifically, it allows coordinated action networks to refer families to homeless shelters that have overflow beds or triage rooms available. This provision is contingent upon each shelter manager or director retaining decision-making authority regarding the admittance of individuals to their facilities.

The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the referral process for families in need of shelter. By empowering coordinated action networks to direct families to appropriate resources, the bill seeks to improve access to shelter services and ensure that families can find necessary accommodations during times of crisis.
