A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to homelessness.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that in order for nonprofit organizations to effectively work in concert with state and county governments, these organizations require a clear understanding of the state procurement system, including the proposal and bid processes, to most effectively offer homeless outreach services or manage homeless housing programs. The legislature further finds that while these types of programs are robust in urban areas, services for homeless outreach services and homeless housing programs are lacking in rural areas of the State.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to establish a program within the department of human services to provide training on government procurement and other relevant procedures to nonprofit organizations that offer homeless outreach services or manage homeless housing programs in rural areas of the State.
SECTION 2. (a) The department of human services shall establish and implement a training program on government procurement and other relevant procedures for nonprofit organizations that offer homeless outreach services or manage homeless housing programs in rural areas of the State.
(b) The department of human services shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to effectuate the purposes of this section.
SECTION 3. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $250,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2019-2020 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2020-2021 to establish and implement a training program for nonprofit organizations that offer homeless outreach services or manage homeless housing programs in rural areas of the State.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of human services for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2019.
