Establishes the "True Charity" Act
SB 1803, the "True Charity" Act, establishes a coordinated program within Missouri's Department of Social Services to help residents overcome barriers to self-sufficiency. It directly affects Missouri residents who are legal residents, U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and meet age requirements (18+ or with parental consent for minors). The bill requires the Department of Social Services to coordinate with state agencies and community partners (including nonprofits and faith-based organizations) to provide holistic support, such as referrals for employment training, housing assistance, and skills development, while using existing resources. Participation is voluntary, and the program will use a dedicated website and case management system to connect individuals with needed services.
