The bill also introduces a new requirement for interim housing to be counted towards meeting acute low-income housing needs until 2032, and establishes a seventh round of the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention program with specific eligibility criteria and a ‘housing now action plan’ requirement. It also includes provisions related to property tax exemptions for qualifying nonprofits.
