Maine LD1910 would enhance housing stability services by funding outreach caseworkers and housing stability workers.

Maine LD1910 mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to contract with community-based nonprofit organizations to hire outreach caseworkers and housing stability workers. These workers provide housing and supportive services to individuals who are unhoused and chronically homeless, ensuring they are in safe indoor environments while housing is secured. The bill allocates $800,000 annually for outreach caseworkers and $900,000 annually for housing stability workers. The workers are distributed across the state, targeting areas with higher populations of individuals who are homeless.
