Legislative Agenda
Homes for All
An investment of $39 million would serve communities across the state:
• Reduce chronic homelessness, hence reducing the cost of jails, emergency rooms, shelter, and detox facilities.
• Every public dollar invested in supportive housing returns $1.44.
• Prevent and end homelessness for an additional 4,836 households and develop or rehabilitate over 280 apartments and single family homes.
• Improve educational outcomes for students without stable housing.
Prosperity for All
Increase MFIP cash assistance by $100 per month using TANF funds. This would be the first increase since 1986.
