This bill changes how the state tracks funding for programs aimed at resolving encampments and connecting people experiencing homelessness to housing. Specifically, it requires applicants for these programs to report details about safe parking sites if they are operating them, and shifts the responsibility for evaluating program effectiveness from recipients to the Department of Housing and Community Development in the annual report. The bill also removes the department’s previous requirement to report directly to legislative committees.
