Bill Summary
Relative to housing stability for families by strengthening the HomeBASE program. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen the HomeBASE program, which provides housing assistance to families, by making several key changes. It allows for 12-month renewable allotments of "re-housing, short-term housing transition program benefits" to help families avoid eviction or relocate to new housing, as long as they meet certain income and compliance criteria. The bill also allows families to combine benefits from the HomeBASE program and the Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) program, as long as the assistance is non-duplicative and promotes housing stability. The goal is to provide more comprehensive and flexible support to help families maintain stable housing.
