Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Housing, homelessness, and indigence
1. Grants to facilitate the independent living of homeless persons
Under current law, the Department of Administration provides housing grants
to counties, municipalities, community action agencies, and private organizations
for the purpose of providing housing and associated supportive services to homeless
individuals and families in order to facilitate the movement of homeless persons to
independent living. This bill provides an additional $5,000,000 in the 2021-23 fiscal
biennium to fund that grant program.
2. Rental assistance grants
The bill creates a rental assistance program under which DOA awards grants
to provide tenant-based rental assistance to individuals and families who have
suffered an economic hardship and whose annual household income does not exceed
80 percent of the median household income for the county in which the individual or
family resides. The bill appropriates $10,000,000 for the program in the 2021-23
fiscal biennium.
3. Grants to defray housing costs
The bill increases funding for DOA to award grants to persons or families of low
or moderate income to defray housing costs. The bill provides an additional $220,000
in each fiscal year of the 2021-23 fiscal biennium for that purpose.
4. Duties of the Interagency Council on Homelessness
The bill requires the Interagency Council on Homelessness to do all of the
