AB 1708: Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention program: round 8: smaller jurisdictions.

This bill would add a new article to the California Health and Safety Code, specifically related to the homeless housing, assistance, and prevention (HHAP) program. The program aims to provide jurisdictions with grant funds to address their immediate homelessness challenges. The bill would apply to the allocation of funding available in round 8 of the program and require a regionally coordinated homelessness action plan to include a description of programs and interventions provided by smaller jurisdictions. A region receiving funding under round 8 could allocate a portion of that funding to smaller jurisdictions to support those programs. Smaller jurisdictions would need to meet certain requirements to be eligible to receive funding.
