This bill originally moved appointment of the state homelessness coordinator to the Department of Workforce Services; the current substitute instead has the governor directly appoint the coordinator as head of the Office of Homeless Services, removable at the governor's will, while administrative oversight stays with the department's executive director. The bill eliminates the requirement for a statewide strategic plan on homelessness and removes many detailed data-reporting requirements (such as breakdowns by demographic characteristics and exit destinations), while still requiring the coordinator to set measurable goals and coordinate services among providers, and requiring reports to the Legislature only when requested rather than twice yearly. It creates a new option for shelter operators to temporarily expand a congregate shelter's bed capacity up to 135% of its normal limit through April 30, 2027, provided the operator notifies the state, secures written approval from the host city, and stays compliant with building and fire codes; these extra beds can count toward funding formulas and may be offset with existing program funds. Finally, starting January 2027 the bill adjusts, on a temporary one-year basis, the formula used to calculate how much money local governments must contribute to the fund that compensates cities and counties hosting homeless shelters, before a further formula change takes effect in 2028, and it makes various other technical, staffing, and reporting adjustments to boards and advisory groups involved in homeless services.
