Reduce County Share/SA In-Home Program.
This bill directs the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to use $500,000 in state funds to lower the portion of costs that counties must pay for the Special Assistance in-home program. Starting in the 2026-2027 fiscal year, the state will cover more of the expenses for this service, which supports individuals who need assistance at home. The change is designed to reduce the financial burden on local governments while maintaining the availability of the program. The legislation takes effect on July 1, 2026.
