An Act To Support Diversion Efforts To Address Homelessness In Maine
LD 641 allocates $750,000 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $750,000 for fiscal year 2026-27 to support Maine's Housing Problem Solving Program through the Maine Housing Authority. This one-time funding directly supports existing diversion efforts aimed at preventing homelessness, primarily benefiting individuals and families at risk of losing housing. The bill does not create new programs or policies but provides specific financial resources for current homelessness prevention services. It affects the Housing Authority's operations and the communities served by its Problem Solving Program.
