The proposed bill establishes "Hope Florida," a new initiative aimed at streamlining access to support services for residents in need. It creates Part IV of Chapter 23 of the Florida Statutes, which includes several sections outlining the goals, definitions, and structure of the program. The goals of Hope Florida include facilitating coordination among state agencies, breaking down silos in service delivery, and creating a centralized support network involving private businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations. The bill also defines key terms such as "Hope Navigators," who will assist participants in navigating services, and establishes the Hope Florida Office within the Executive Office of the Governor, which will be responsible for overseeing the initiative.

The bill outlines the eligibility requirements for participants, emphasizing that participation is voluntary and includes provisions for individuals to receive assistance through a dedicated hotline. It mandates the appointment of a director for the Hope Florida Office by the Governor and specifies the office's duties, including the development of care plans tailored to individual needs. Additionally, the bill requires that Hope Navigators be embedded in communities to facilitate access to resources and support, and it encourages collaboration among various state agencies to enhance service delivery. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
