The proposed Bill No. 6764 aims to provide housing assistance to impoverished veterans by authorizing department heads to coordinate the delivery of twenty-foot insulated prefabricated homes. These homes will be equipped with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a bathroom, and will be made available to veterans whose income is below the federal poverty line and who have been without a permanent residence for the preceding ninety days. The bill also stipulates that these homes can be delivered to properties owned by the veterans or, with consent, to properties owned by third parties.
Additionally, the bill requires municipalities to identify alternative locations for the prefabricated homes if they do not comply with local zoning regulations, with a deadline of sixty days for such identification following a determination of noncompliance. This legislation seeks to establish a program that addresses the housing needs of vulnerable veterans, ensuring they have access to stable living conditions.
