Bill overview
The Bridge to End Homelessness Act of 2019 creates a grant program to help local governments and regional entities provide temporary housing, called ‘interim housing,’ for individuals experiencing homelessness. To receive funding, entities must identify suitable properties, offer on-site services like mental health support and job training, and coordinate with local agencies. The program also emphasizes using trauma-informed approaches and prioritizing permanent housing solutions for those experiencing homelessness.
