The bill outlines updates to the Emergency Housing Assistance Program, as reported by the Executive Office for Administration and Finance and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities. Key data points as of October 2, 2025, indicate that there are currently 2,304 families supported across bridge and rapid shelter programs, with 124 families in rapid shelters. The report highlights the number of families who could not provide required verification during their application process, which stands at 385, and includes details on domestic violence cases, health and safety risks, and the number of families receiving assistance. Additionally, the report provides information on the number of families exiting the program, the average length of stay, and the financial assistance available through the HomeBASE program.

The bill also includes several insertions that enhance the existing legal framework, such as the addition of specific terms like "municipality," "waiver," and "safety needs," which clarify the context of the data being reported. Furthermore, it specifies the total estimated cost of the Emergency Assistance program for FY26 at $276.4 million and outlines efforts to maximize federal reimbursements for program costs. The report emphasizes the ongoing challenges faced by families in need of housing assistance and the administration's commitment to addressing these issues through various support services and programs.
