Specifically, it allocates $....... from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of human services. The funds are designated for various purposes, including shelter operations, case management, staffing, on-site support services, and programming aimed at promoting stability and self-sufficiency for families experiencing homelessness.

The appropriation is set to remain available until June 30, 2027, ensuring that Interfaith Action can effectively utilize the resources for ongoing support and services to families in need. This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing homelessness and providing essential support to vulnerable populations within the state.
