The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6893 proposes to appropriate $33.5 million to the Department of Housing from the General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This funding is specifically designated for programs aimed at assisting homeless individuals. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and establishes a new section within the law to facilitate this appropriation.
The statement of purpose for the bill emphasizes the intent to provide necessary financial resources to support initiatives that address homelessness. Notably, the bill does not include any deletions from current law, as it introduces new legal language to create this funding allocation.
