LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires the Governor to create the Interagency Council on Homelessness, formerly known as the Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council, to, among other things, identify mainstream resources, benefits, and services that can be accessed to prevent and end homelessness in California and to serve as a statewide facilitator, coordinator, and policy development resource on ending homelessness in California. Existing law establishes the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program for the purpose of providing jurisdictions, as defined, with one-time grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges, as specified.
Existing law requires the council, upon appropriation, to distribute $650,000,000 among cities, counties, and continuums of care, for
round 1 of the program in the 2019–20 fiscal year, as provided. Existing law requires a recipient, after receiving program funds, by January 1 of the year following receipt of the funds and annually on that date thereafter until all funds have been expended, to submit a report to the council, as specified, and requires each applicant that receives a round 1 program allocation, no later than January 1, 2026, to submit to the council a final report in a format provided by the council, as well as detailed uses of all program funds.
This bill would, instead, require each applicant that receives a round 1 program allocation to submit the final report by July 1, 2026.
