The proposed changes to the definition of chronic homelessness could significantly increase the number of individuals eligible for assistance, addressing the growing homelessness crisis.
By removing the strict criteria requiring four separate homeless instances, the new bill allows more individuals to qualify, ultimately enhancing access to critical support services.
The legislation aims to provide broader support for those experiencing homelessness and acknowledges the diverse circumstances that lead to such situations.
With the adjustment of the definition, lawmakers hope to facilitate broader access to shelters and services, potentially making a tangible difference in alleviating homelessness.
