The bill outlines the reporting requirements for reentry programs funded by line item 7004-9034 of the FY2025 Final Budget. It details the proposed subsidies, estimated number of individuals qualifying for these subsidies, demographic information, planned distribution of funds, and other available reentry services. The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) and the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) have established two programs: one for permanent housing vouchers for individuals exiting long-term incarceration and another for sponsor-based transitional housing programs. The average subsidy for the permanent housing vouchers is reported to be $1,693 per month, while the sponsor-based program is estimated at $21,429 per year per client.

The report also provides demographic insights into the individuals qualifying for these programs, indicating a significant representation of Black/African American individuals among the eligible populations. EOHLC forecasts spending over $600,000 on vouchers in FY25 and has outlined contracts with various vendors to support the sponsor-based programs. Additionally, the report emphasizes the comprehensive reentry services available to participants, including health insurance applications, discharge planning, and employment preparation. The bill concludes with contact information for further inquiries, including a new email address for the Undersecretary of the Division of Public Housing & Rental Assistance.
