Bill > SB01364

This bill appropriates ten million dollars from the state's General Fund to the Department of Housing for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, specifically to fund the construction of 500 permanent tiny homes. The funding will be distributed through grants to private and nonprofit entities, with the requirement that these tiny homes must be connected to either private water or septic systems, or to comprehensive water, sewer, and electric utilities. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to address housing needs by supporting the development of small, affordable housing units. A "tiny home" is typically a compact, efficiently designed dwelling that is significantly smaller than traditional houses, often ranging from 100 to 400 square feet, and can provide a more affordable housing option for individuals or families.
