What it does

The START Housing Act of 2025 would reauthorize and expand a pilot program that helps individuals in recovery from substance use disorder achieve stable housing, extending its authorization from 2019–2023 to 2026–2031 and removing prior time limits on assistance. It would prioritize funding for states with the greatest need based on unemployment, labor force participation, drug overdose death rates, and unsheltered homelessness, while requiring states to supplement—not replace—existing housing and recovery funds and to consult with local agencies on implementation. The bill also allows up to 2% of program funds to be used for technical assistance, best practices, and outreach.
