The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5160 proposes to appropriate $33.5 million from the General Fund to the Department of Housing for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This funding is specifically designated for programs aimed at assisting homeless individuals. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, 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. There are no deletions from current law, as the bill introduces new legal language to create this funding allocation.
