Interagency Task Force on Homelessness and Community Advisory Council on Homelessness; create within DHS.

HB 1346 creates two new bodies within Mississippi's Department of Human Services: an Interagency Task Force on Homelessness and a Community Advisory Council on Homelessness. The Task Force (comprising state agency leaders) must develop a statewide plan to reduce homelessness and improve housing stability, while the Advisory Council (with community members including people with lived experience of homelessness) provides annual recommendations to the Task Force. Both entities are required to submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature, starting in 2025. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and has not become law.
