Bill Caption

Relating to the operation of a transitional housing pilot program by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. It is unknown how much future funding would be available for the Transitional Housing Pilot Program from the Ending Homelessness Fund (which is funded by voluntary contributions). Nor is it known which counties, if any, would receive grants under the program. Therefore, while a positive fiscal impact on those counties receiving grants from the program is anticipated, the extent of that impact, if any, cannot be determined at this time.

Bill Analysis

HB 1277 would allow the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to fund the transitional housing pilot program using funds contributed to the Ending Homelessness Fund. The bill would also allow the department to operate the program in coordination with one or more counties or municipalities.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral toward HB 1277.
