SB 528-FN-A- FISCAL NOTE

 

AN ACT making an appropriation for supportive housing for persons with substance use disorders.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant states this bill, as introduced, will increase state  general fund expenditures by $2,000,000 in FY 2016.  There will be no impact on state, county and local revenue or county and local expenditures.

 

This bill appropriates $2,000,000 in state general funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016 to the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority for the purpose of the bill.

 

METHODOLOGY:

The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant states this bill makes a general fund appropriation of $2,000,000 in FY 2016 to the Housing Finance Authority to fund supportive housing for persons with substance use disorders.

 

The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) states the NHHFA was created under RSA 204-C as a public benefit corporation and an instrumentality of state government, but with a “distinct legal existence separate from the state.”  The NHHFA is not included in the state budget, receives no operational or administrative funding from the state, counties or municipalities and does not typically make payments to any of these levels of government.  The NHHFA indicates the bill would increase its revenue and expenditures by the amount of the appropriation assuming suitable housing projects could be financed consistent with the bills conditions.
