AB 678: Interagency Council on Homelessness.

The bill requires the governor to create an interagency council on homelessness, which aims to facilitate partnerships among federal, state, and local governments, nonprofit entities, and private sector organizations to develop strategies to end homelessness. The council is tasked with creating inclusive and culturally competent services for LGBTQ+ people experiencing homelessness and making policy recommendations to the legislature. The council will coordinate with representatives from LGBTQ+ communities to identify best practices and expand data collection to understand the needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in state homelessness programs. The council must submit a report to the legislature by July 1, 2027, detailing their recommendations.
