VETERAN TRANSITIONAL HOUSING

This bill appropriates $500,000 from the state general fund to the Veterans' Services Department for fiscal year 2026 to contract services supporting transitional housing for veterans and their families. It directly affects veterans and their families in New Mexico by funding temporary housing support during transitions. The key mechanism is a one-time funding allocation for contracted housing services, with any unspent funds reverting to the state treasury by year-end. The bill does not change eligibility rules or create new programs, solely providing dedicated funding for existing transitional housing support.
