Chair called the Joint Finance Committee to order and opened the morning orientation, announcing the first presentation would be the Governor's Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens (GACC) orientation and asking Victoria Brennan to begin.
Joint Finance Committee orientations and budget presentations focused on the Governor’s Advisory Council for Exceptional Citizens, the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (kids department) budget requests (housing support, SRAP vouchers, and a proposed no-eject/no-reject shelter), and the Delaware State Housing Authority’s FY27 housing and homelessness proposals. Committee members pressed departments on service delivery, data gaps, and coordination; dozens of nonprofit speakers urged sustained or increased housing and homelessness funding.
