The proposed bill establishes "Hope Florida," a new initiative within the Executive Office of the Governor, aimed at streamlining access to support services for residents in need. It creates a new part IV of chapter 23 of the Florida Statutes, which includes sections that outline the goals of Hope Florida, define key terms, and establish the Hope Florida Office. The office will be directed by a governor-appointed director and will focus on coordinating care through "Hope Navigators," who will assist participants in developing personalized care plans to achieve their goals. Participation in the program is voluntary, and individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria, including being a legal resident of Florida and at least 18 years old, or younger with parental consent.

Additionally, the bill mandates that Hope Navigators be embedded in communities to facilitate access to resources and support systems. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various state agencies and the establishment of a partner network that includes public-private partnerships and nonprofit organizations. The legislation also requires the designation of a state agency to operate a toll-free "Hope Line" for inquiries and referrals, as well as to maintain a website and case management system for participants. The overall aim is to create a cohesive support network that promotes self-sufficiency and community integration for individuals seeking assistance.
