KMHC Supports State Matching Funds for Housing

KMHC is pleased to support the funding recommended by the Governor for $40 million to establish the Local Government Housing Security Grant Fund.  This is one time funding to provide matching grants to local governments to establish local housing resources.  We encourage the House Committee on Welfare Reform to amend HB 2723 beyond emergency shelter beds to transitional and permanent supported housing, to allow multiple communities to submit proposals based on their specific community needs and avoid state mandates to criminalize homelessness.  Time is running short for the legislation to pass the committee, pass the House of Representatives and get to the Senate for action.
