Summary
This Bill updates the definition of emergency housing shelter to correlate time frames and program terminology with those accepted by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Delaware State Housing Authority, and current best practices. This will allow emergency shelters to be in compliance with consistent and reasonable length of stay time frames across funding sources and will provide an accurate reflection of present day emergency shelter services and client needs.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Emergency Housing Shelters.
