H.906 is a bill introduced by Representatives Goodnow, Burke, and Kornheiser, which aims to provide financial support to municipalities in Vermont that have incurred costs related to addressing homelessness. The bill proposes to appropriate funds to the Department for Children and Families, which will then distribute these funds to one or more municipalities that have been impacted by the costs of providing municipal services to homeless individuals.
The primary focus of this legislation is to reimburse municipalities for the expenses they have faced in dealing with the effects of homelessness, thereby alleviating some of the financial burdens on local governments. This initiative underscores the state's commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting communities in their efforts to provide necessary services.
