I. The sum of $18,000,000 for the biennium ending June 30, 2023, is hereby appropriated to the department of health and human services for the purpose of providing homeless shelter services in the state.

The need for such services has been exacerbated during the pandemic.

The project currently has three locations through the state, and the Department expects the funding in this bill would be used to expand to additional locations.
