SCR1011 is a resolution that, pending voter approval, would statutorily require the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) to accept and allocate funds appropriated by the Legislature for services aimed at individuals experiencing homelessness. The resolution outlines the specific uses for these funds, which include creating parking areas with access to water and electricity, camping facilities, individual shelters, and larger shelters that provide programs to improve employment and prevent a return to homelessness. It also includes services for substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, and short-term housing assistance.

The resolution sets forth a series of provisions that dictate how the funds should be used and managed. It prioritizes spending on services for the homeless before permanent housing projects and includes measures to encourage political subdivisions to reduce homelessness. It also establishes liability protections for private campground owners and sets penalties for unauthorized use of government lands for camping. The resolution requires ADOH to adopt rules for allocating funds for homelessness services and mandates that the Secretary of State submit the proposition to voters at the next general election. If approved, it would become effective upon the Governor's proclamation.
