During the 2018 General Session, the Legislature passed, and the Governor then signed, S.B. 235, Homeless Shelter Funding Amendments. The bill creates the Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation Restricted Account (Account) and sets forth how the Department of Workforce Services (Department) is to administer the Account. Under the bill, there are two categories of governmental entities that are eligible to receive funding from the Account for homeless shelter mitigation efforts: "eligible municipalities", which are given funding priority, and "grant eligible entities". Section 35A-8-608 specifically instructs the Department to make rules regarding the circumstances in which there is sufficient revenue in the Account for grant eligible entities to receive a grant from the Account, how grant eligible entities will be notified of grant availability, and the timeline for how grants may be issued. This proposed new rule sets forth these procedural requirements.
