This bill appropriates a total of $211,050,000 from the general fund of the state treasury for various initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness in North Dakota for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. Specifically, it allocates $10,000,000 to the housing finance agency for homeless grants, $50,000 for a study on homelessness, and $1,000,000 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 one-time transfer of $200,000,000 to the housing incentive fund, intended to be distributed over a four-year period.

Furthermore, the bill mandates a legislative management study on homelessness during the 2025-26 interim, which will involve reviewing available data and funding, analyzing the use of these funds, and gathering input from a consultant hired by the housing finance agency. The findings and recommendations from this study, along with any necessary legislation, are to be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly.
