Establish grant program to increase community shelter capacity for homeless population

Replaced the scoring criterion 'UP TO 250 POINTS FOR COMMUNITY NEED' with 'UP TO 250 POINTS FOR POTENTIAL IMPACT IN RESPONDING TO COMMUNITY NEED'.

Clarified that the $2 million appropriation is for the department of public health and human services COMMERCE.

Adjusted section numbering in the codification instruction from '3' to '2' and '4' to '3' to align with the new structure.

The list of eligible recipients was reordered and modified to prioritize individuals with mental health needs, substance use disorders, and homeless families with children, while retaining senior citizens, veterans, and youth transitioning from foster care.

A mandatory 1,000-point weighted scoring system was added to the grant application process, with specific point allocations for geographic diversity, applicant capacity, affordability, community need, and potential impact.

A new restriction was added stating that the department may not award more than $250,000 in matching funds for projects serving the same county.

The reporting requirement was modified to direct reports to the children, families, health, and human services ECONOMIC AFFAIRS interim committee instead of the original committee.

The grant funding ratio was changed to a one-to-one match between state funds and applicant funds.

The recipient department was changed from the department of public health and human services to the department of public health and human services COMMERCE.
