The 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 a specified amount of money to the commissioner of employment and economic development for this purpose. The funds are intended to be used for creating child-friendly spaces, implementing trauma-informed design, and providing on-site support services to improve the overall experience for families in need.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriated funds will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, ensuring that the resources can be utilized effectively to meet the needs of the community. This initiative aims to bolster economic development by addressing homelessness and providing essential services to vulnerable families.
