AB 1432: Homelessness Accountability, Recovery, and Treatment Act.

This bill aims to improve homelessness in California by authorizing the use of 40% of existing funds for recovery housing that doesn't meet the core components of housing first. The bill requires nonprofits that receive state or local government funding for homelessness programs to report standardized performance metrics annually. A state agency must develop a reporting template, compile and publish an annual report, and provide technical assistance to nonprofits. Regulations must be adopted by January 1, 2027, and nonprofits must start reporting performance metrics in the first full fiscal year after regulation adoption. The bill also establishes procedures for certifying the accuracy of performance metrics and requires reimbursement for costs mandated by the state if determined by the commission on state mandates.
