Bill > AB366

This bill revises Nevada's supportive housing program by making several key changes to enhance housing assistance for vulnerable populations. The bill removes the previous restriction that the Housing Division's supportive housing grant program was dependent on available appropriations, ensuring a more consistent approach to developing supportive housing. It redesignates the Nevada Supportive Housing Development Fund from a special revenue fund to an account within the State General Fund, with a critical provision that any remaining money will not revert back to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year but instead be carried forward. The bill appropriates $21 million to the newly created Nevada Supportive Housing Development Account to carry out the supportive housing grant program. Additionally, the bill introduces a transparency measure requiring the Governor to submit a statement to the Legislature explaining why no budgetary request was made for the supportive housing account, starting with the 2027-2029 budget. The supportive housing program targets individuals with disabling behavioral or physical health conditions who have experienced homelessness or unnecessary institutionalization, providing housing and supportive services to help them maintain stable living arrangements. These changes aim to strengthen Nevada's commitment to addressing housing insecurity and supporting vulnerable populations.
