Bill > HB2561

This bill appropriates $7,000,000 from Arizona's state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to the department of economic security, which will then distribute these funds to area agencies on aging. These area agencies on aging are established under the Older Americans Act of 1965, a federal law designed to provide services and support for older individuals. The purpose of this appropriation is to provide housing assistance specifically for individuals who are at least sixty years of age. The legislature intends for this funding to be ongoing in future years, meaning it's not a one-time allocation, and this specific appropriation is exempt from rules that would cause unused funds to expire at the end of the fiscal year.
