Relates to home stability support supplement programs
This bill requires local social services districts to provide rent supplements directly to landlords for eligible individuals and families facing imminent eviction or homelessness, defined broadly to include unsafe housing, domestic violence, or lack of permanent shelter. The supplement covers 85% of the federal fair market rent (up to 100%), with additional heating cost coverage paid directly to vendors. It applies to those receiving public assistance who are homeless or at immediate risk of losing housing, with support lasting up to five years (or one additional year after losing public assistance eligibility if income stays below 200% of the federal poverty level). The program prohibits recouping payments for rent arrears or heating costs and ensures supplements don't count toward public assistance need calculations.
