Relating to the provision of services for individuals experiencing homelessness at certain locations.
SB 2624 prohibits service providers (such as faith-based or nonprofit organizations) from offering "navigation services" within 1.5 miles of schools, playgrounds, or colleges. Navigation services include helping homeless individuals access shelter, healthcare, job resources, housing, and other support for stable living. The law directly affects organizations providing these services near educational or recreational facilities, requiring municipalities and counties to enforce the restriction. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025, and does not change broader homelessness assistance policies.
