Bill Summary
AN ACT amending title 41, chapter 37, article 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 41-3958; appropriating monies; relating to the Arizona department of housing.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the "homeless shelter and services fund" to be administered by the Arizona Department of Housing, which will consist of legislative appropriations, other designated monies, and investment earnings. The fund's monies are continuously appropriated, meaning they are always available for use, and will be used by the department to award grants to counties, cities, towns, Indian tribes, and nonprofit organizations for programs that offer shelter and services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Importantly, any unspent monies in this fund will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year, and the bill also appropriates $50,000,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to this newly created fund.
