Bill > SF3184

This bill establishes a new supplementary administrative rate for counties and Tribes involved in housing support programs. Under the proposed legislation, the commissioner of human services must determine an additional payment rate to help counties and Tribes cover administrative costs related to housing support, specifically for three key activities: (1) creating and maintaining housing support agreements with providers, including establishing contracting processes, (2) overseeing and monitoring the quality of provider services, and (3) determining provider eligibility and processing payments. The bill requires the commissioner to report to legislative committees about the established rate and its methodology by February 27, 2026, and annually thereafter if the rate is modified. The bill also includes an appropriation from the general fund to support this new administrative rate in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This legislation aims to provide financial support to help counties and Tribes more effectively manage housing support programs by compensating them for the administrative work involved in maintaining and overseeing these critical services.
