This bill enacts Chapter 33-D of Title 13 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, establishing a "Homeless Diversion Pilot Program" in Orleans Parish. The program aims to address homelessness by providing various support services, including drug and alcohol treatment, mental health care, job training, and housing assistance. The district attorney for Orleans Parish is tasked with creating and administering the program, which may include pretrial diversion options for homeless defendants. The program's goals include reducing drug dependency, criminal recidivism, and prison overcrowding, while also increasing accountability and providing necessary counseling services.

Additionally, the bill outlines the essential characteristics of the pilot program, such as integrating healthcare and education, early identification of eligible participants, and ongoing judicial interaction. It mandates the district attorney to adopt written policies for implementation and allows for the dismissal of certain criminal charges upon successful completion of the program. The program's effectiveness will be evaluated annually, with reports submitted to the Louisiana Supreme Court.
