In the latest version of House Bill 2803, definitions were added for "homeless service provider" and "mixed hoteling." This change clarifies the types of services being offered and who is providing them, which is important for understanding how hotels can also serve as shelters for homeless individuals. By defining these terms, the bill aims to create a clearer framework for mixed-use facilities that provide both hotel accommodations and temporary housing for those in need.
