Expenditures from the account may be used only for homeless housing programs as described in this chapter. During the 2019-21 fiscal biennium, moneys from the home security fund account may be appropriated for grants for local government drug and gang task forces to prevent substance abuse disorders that may lead to homelessness.

The first biennial expenditure review, for the 2017-2019 fiscal biennium, is due February 1, 2020. Independent reviews conducted thereafter are due February 1st of each even-numbered year."
