This bill enacts Chapter 3-I of Title 40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, specifically R.S. 40:600.161, which focuses on housing for survivors of human trafficking. It establishes definitions for key terms such as "local housing authority" and "voucher," and mandates that local housing authorities give preference for housing vouchers to individuals identified as human trafficking survivors. The bill outlines the verification process for applicants, which includes meeting the standards of the voucher program and providing evidence of their status as survivors through various means, such as law enforcement reports or verification from qualified professionals.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect the privacy of survivors by prohibiting local housing authorities from disclosing the addresses associated with vouchers without the informed consent of the individual involved, or as mandated by a court order. It specifically states that consent cannot be provided by an abuser or alleged abuser of a minor or incapacitated person, ensuring that the safety and privacy of survivors are prioritized in the housing assistance process.
