Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment limits housing assistance under the general assistance program to a maximum of 3 months in a 12-month period, except for temporary housing and emergency shelters. This limit could reduce the amount of general assistance expended on housing assistance. A more precise estimate of the fiscal impact is not possible because recipient data related to number of months on assistance, amounts paid to each recipient, and what type of assistance was received resides at the municipal level and varies over time.
