Bill > SB0255

This bill establishes the Homelessness in Vulnerable Populations Task Force, a 17-member group responsible for assessing the housing needs of vulnerable populations, defined as individuals and families in specific counties facing housing instability due to factors like developmental disabilities, domestic violence, severe mental illness, substance abuse, age-related limitations, pregnancy, medical frailty, or aging out of foster care. The task force, which will include representatives from various housing authorities, continuums of care, and other relevant organizations, is tasked with identifying housing gaps, analyzing displacement risks, and exploring funding sources for affordable housing, particularly in anticipation of the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The task force will report its findings and legislative recommendations to a legislative committee by November 2026, and the task force itself is scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026.
