Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to home stability support programs
AI Summary
This bill creates the Home Stability Support (HSS) program, which requires local social services districts to provide a shelter supplement to eligible individuals and families to prevent eviction and address homelessness. The bill defines "homeless" and "imminent loss of housing" and sets the shelter supplement at 85% of the fair market rent, with the option for local districts to provide up to 100% of fair market rent. The bill also requires the provision of additional funds to cover separate fuel for heating expenses. Eligible individuals and families include those on public assistance who are homeless or facing imminent loss of housing and are not currently receiving another shelter supplement. The program will provide up to 14,000 new shelter supplements statewide annually, with funding distributed based on the local district's share of households below the federal poverty level. The bill also requires the state to reimburse 100% of the costs for the shelter supplements and home stability support services.
