(1) THREATENED WITH THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF HOUSING OR OTHER
SHELTER;
(2) WITHOUT RESOURCES TO AVOID AN IMPENDING EVICTION; OR
(3) OTHERWISE AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 88A, § 132(b)(2).
The only changes are in style.
(E) PROGRAM.
"PROGRAM" MEANS THE SHELTER, NUTRITION, AND SERVICE PROGRAM FOR
HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of the full reference to the "Shelter, Nutrition, and Service Program for
Homeless Individuals and Families".

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FINDS AND DECLARES THAT:
(1) AN INCREASING NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN THE
STATE ARE HOMELESS AND LACK PROPER NUTRITION AND ADEQUATE SERVICES;
(2) CURRENT STATE-OPERATED PROGRAMS DO NOT ADEQUATELY
ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS; AND
(3) AS A RESULT, THERE IS A LACK OF QUALITY EMERGENCY PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE HOUSING, NUTRITION, AND SERVICE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE FOR
THESE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88A, § 131.
The only changes are in style.
The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that this section was originally enacted in 1983. The
General Assembly may wish to consider whether this section continues to
accurately reflect current conditions.
6-419. ESTABLISHMENT AUTHORIZED.
THE GOVERNOR MAY ESTABLISH A SHELTER, NUTRITION, AND SERVICE
PROGRAM FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 133(a).
The General Assembly may wish to consider whether to mandate the
program or continue to leave establishment of the program within the
discretion of the Governor.
