Overview: Bill A 868, Requires the office of temporary and disability assistance to provide an informational notice to supportive housing tenants
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to ensure that tenants living in supportive housing receive clear and comprehensive information about the services and resources available to them. Supportive housing provides affordable housing combined with on-site social services for individuals with special needs, such as those experiencing homelessness or with mental health or substance abuse issues.
Key Provisions:
- Requires the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to develop and distribute an informational notice to all supportive housing tenants
- The notice must include details on the available on-site services, how to access them, and contact information for the service providers
- Mandates that the notice be provided to new tenants upon move-in and annually to all existing tenants
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Tenants living in supportive housing, who will have improved access to information about the services and resources available to them
- Supportive housing providers, who will be required to distribute the informational notice to their tenants
- The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which will be responsible for creating and distributing the notice
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been referred to the Committee on Social Services for further consideration
- If passed, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance would have 6 months to develop and implement the informational notice requirement
