appropriation; homeless shelter services fund

SB 1482 establishes Arizona's Homeless Shelter and Services Fund to provide dedicated state funding for homelessness services. It appropriates $50 million from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026, with these funds continuously available (not subject to annual lapse) for grants. The fund will support counties, cities, towns, tribes, and nonprofits in delivering shelter and services directly to unsheltered homeless individuals. This is a funding mechanism, not a service mandate, focusing on financial support for local providers.
