LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1377, as amended, Friedman.
Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program: Round 3.
Existing law establishes, among various other programs intended to address homelessness in this state, the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention program for the purpose of providing jurisdictions with one-time grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges informed by a best-practices framework focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing. Existing law provides for the allocation of funding under the program among continuums of care, cities, counties, and tribes in 4 rounds, which are to be administered by the Interagency Council on Homelessness.
Existing law, beginning with round 3 of the program, requires
applicants to provide specified information for all rounds of program allocations through a data collection, reporting, performance monitoring, and accountability framework, as established by the council. This includes data on the applicant’s progress towards meeting their outcome goals, to be submitted annually, for each year of the program, and other information if the applicant has not made significant progress towards those goals.
This bill would also require data and a narrative summary of specific and quantifiable steps that the applicant has taken to improve the delivery of housing and services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, on transit properties that operate facilities owned and operated by a transit district, as defined, in their juridiction.
