AN ACT APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TINY HOMES.

SB 1364 appropriates $10 million from the General Fund to the Department of Housing for the construction of 500 permanent tiny homes. These homes must connect to private water/septic systems or public utilities (water, sewer, electricity) and will be built by private or nonprofit organizations. The funding covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with implementation starting July 1, 2025. The bill directly affects the Department of Housing (as the recipient of funds), private developers, and nonprofit housing entities, but does not specify target populations or housing outcomes.
