Ask Capital Investment Conference Committee Members to Support Funding for Homeless Programs

Where do things stand
The House passed a bonding bill that sets aside $30 million for permanent supportive housing and $2 million which could be used throughout the state for emergency shelter, transitional housing, or additional permanent supportive housing. The Senate’s bill includes the $30 million, but does not include the $2 million.

The Ask

URGE THEM to support the House version which includes $30 million in bonding for permanent supportive housing and $2 million in flexible state bonds, which could be used for emergency shelter, transitional housing, or additional permanent supportive housing.
