AN ACT relating to homelessness prevention, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The bill establishes a Homelessness Prevention Fund in the state treasury, run by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, to give grants to nonprofits, local governments, or their instruments for building, acquiring, or renting housing and related supportive services. It earmarks $2 million from the General Fund for fiscal year 2026‑27, requires quarterly public reporting, and ties grant awards to performance‑based criteria. It also amends existing law to bar state money for permanent homeless housing unless mental‑health, substance‑use, and criminal‑activity safeguards are included.
