This bill amends Section 67-6223 of the Idaho Code to establish new reporting requirements for the Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) regarding federal funds received through the Continuum of Care (COC) program and the Emergency Solutions Grant program. The new provisions mandate that, starting July 1, 2026, the IHFA must report on various aspects of funding, including the names and addresses of recipients and subrecipients, total award amounts, unspent funds, and detailed expenses related to supportive services for homelessness assistance. Additionally, the report must include outcomes such as the number of individuals served, project participation dates, and the effectiveness of supportive services provided.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of data privacy by requiring that all information in the reports be de-identified or randomized, ensuring that personally identifiable information is not disclosed. Furthermore, the IHFA is required to submit these reports annually to the governor and the legislature, as well as make them publicly available on a website. The act declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately on the specified date.
