Summary of SF 2741: Housing Stabilization Service Authorizations Modifications

Overview

Bill Number: SF 2741
Title: Housing stabilization service authorizations modifications
Status: Referred to Human Services
Introduced: March 20, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary goal of SF 2741 is to expand and enhance housing stabilization services provided through the state's Department of Human Services. The bill aims to improve access to critical support for individuals and families at risk of homelessness or housing insecurity.

Key Provisions

  • Authorizes the Department of Human Services to provide a broader range of housing stabilization services, including:
    • Rental and utility assistance
    • Eviction prevention counseling
    • Landlord-tenant mediation
    • Transitional and temporary housing
    • Connection to long-term affordable housing
  • Increases funding for the state's Housing Stabilization Program by $25 million annually
  • Requires the Department to establish standardized eligibility criteria and service delivery protocols statewide
  • Directs the Department to partner with local governments and nonprofit organizations to expand the geographic reach of stabilization services

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Individuals and families at risk of homelessness or housing insecurity would have greater access to a comprehensive suite of stabilization services
  • Landlords may benefit from reduced tenant turnover and eviction costs through expanded mediation and rental assistance programs
  • Local governments and service providers would receive additional funding and coordination support to meet the housing needs of their communities

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SF 2741 has been referred to the state's Human Services committee for initial consideration. If approved, the bill would then move to the full legislature for debate and a vote. If passed, the expanded housing stabilization services would be implemented by the Department of Human Services within 12 months of the bill's effective date.
