AZ HB2561

Appropriates $7,000,000 from the state general fund in fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Economic Security for elderly housing assistance.

Funds will be distributed to area agencies on aging established under the federal Older Americans Act of 1965.

Housing assistance is designated for persons who are at least 60 years of age.

The legislature intends for this appropriation to be considered ongoing funding in future years.

The appropriation is exempt from standard lapsing provisions, meaning unused funds will not automatically revert to the general fund.
