AI Summary

This bill, titled "To end child homelessness," proposes to prevent families with children under eighteen from being evicted or removed from public housing, publicly subsidized housing, or any shelter funded with public money, including motels or hotels used for emergency shelter. Before such an eviction can occur, the Department of Children and Families (DCF), working with the Department of Housing and Community Development, must create and be ready to put into action a plan to ensure that all children in the family will have suitable housing. The bill also mandates that reasonable efforts be made to keep these children with their parents or current caregivers.
