Safe SHORES Act of 2024

This bill extends and updates a federal housing pilot program for people recovering from opioid use disorder. It reauthorizes $50 million annually (2025-2029) to help states provide stable housing through temporary recovery housing facilities, directly affecting individuals in opioid recovery seeking housing stability. Key changes include requiring states to use all funds within five years (instead of one year), allowing up to 1% of funds for furniture, and mandating states to prioritize projects offering workforce training, follow-up support, and accreditation. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress tracking housing projects, resident demographics, program outcomes, and interagency coordination with health and agriculture departments.
