A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REQUIRE STATE AGENCIES STUDY HOW BEST TO COORDINATE STATE AGENCIES' PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The Department of Human Resources, the Department of Economic and Community Development, the Housing Finance Agency, the Department of Public Instruction, and all other affected State agencies, shall collaborate in a study of how best to coordinate State-level programs and services for the homeless, including McKinney programs.  This study shall include recommendations as to which agency should have the central State role, as to whether a State position of coordinator of programs and services is needed and, if so, where to place the position, as to what statutes need changing, if any, and as to what additional legislative action needs to be taken to effect proper coordination.
Sec. 2.  The Departments and other State agencies performing the study shall consult with the local public and private agencies and individuals providing services and programs for the homeless.
Sec. 3.  The study required by this act shall be presented to the Legislative Research Commission's Study Committee on Homeless Persons, if reauthorized, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations, and to the Fiscal Research Division, by October 31, 1991.
Sec. 4.  This act is effective upon ratification.
