Bill > SB2030

This bill appropriates funds to address homelessness in North Dakota through several key provisions. The housing finance agency will receive $10 million for homeless grants and $50,000 for a homelessness study during the 2025-2027 biennium. The department of public instruction will be allocated $1 million to provide grants to the ten school districts with the largest student enrollments for homelessness liaison services, with each district eligible for up to $50,000 per fiscal year and required to provide matching funds. Additionally, the bill includes a $200 million transfer to the housing incentive fund, which is intended to be distributed over a four-year period from 2025 to 2029. The bill also mandates a legislative management study on homelessness during the 2025-26 interim, which will review available data and funding, analyze fund usage, and seek input from a consultant. The study aims to identify gaps and potential solutions, with findings and recommendations to be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly, potentially including proposed legislation to address homelessness in the state.
