Grants for homelessness case management services
This bill requires DCF to allocate in each fiscal year $1,000,000 of funding under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program for DOA to make grants to shelter facilities for case management services for homeless families. Current law requires DCF to allocate $500,000 of that funding to DOA to make the grants.
Under current law, DOA may award 10 annual grants of up to $50,000 to homeless shelter facilities to provide case management services for homeless families. The bill increases the annual limit on grants to a shelter facility from $50,000 to $75,000 and eliminates the restriction that limits DCF to making no more than ten grants in total each year.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section
