Homeless Services Advisory Committee - Apr 1, 2026
Federal funding for the city's 582 Emergency Housing Vouchers is expected to run out in October 2026, putting roughly 500 previously homeless households at risk of losing rental assistance. Only about 125 transitional vouchers may be available, and the city is advocating for state and federal help with no clear fix yet.
