This bill proposes several appropriations aimed at addressing homelessness in North Dakota for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It allocates $10 million to the housing finance agency for homeless grants, $50,000 for a one-time study on homelessness conducted by a consultant, and $1 million to the Department of Public Instruction for grants to support homelessness liaison services in the ten largest school districts, with a requirement for matching funds from the districts. Additionally, the bill includes a significant one-time appropriation of $200 million to be transferred to the housing incentive fund, intended for distribution over a four-year period.

Furthermore, the bill mandates a legislative management study on homelessness during the 2025-26 interim. This study will review existing data and funding, analyze the use of available resources, and seek input from a consultant engaged by the housing finance agency. The findings and recommendations from this study will be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly, potentially leading to further legislative action to address homelessness in the state.
