This bill proposes an appropriation from the general fund to support Interfaith Action in acquiring and rehabilitating space to enhance shelter capacity for families experiencing homelessness. Specifically, it allocates funds for the development of child-friendly spaces, trauma-informed design, and on-site support services, ensuring that the facilities meet the needs of families in crisis. The funding is designated for use until the project is either completed or abandoned.
The new legal language introduced in this bill emphasizes the importance of expanding shelter services and improving the overall experience for families facing homelessness. By focusing on the acquisition and rehabilitation of facilities, the bill aims to create a more supportive environment that addresses both immediate shelter needs and long-term well-being for families in distress.
