CA AB2061

Encourages counties participating in the federal Title IV-E waiver demonstration project to use innovative, evidence-based strategies to assist families experiencing homelessness who have a child in foster care.

Strategies should help families achieve supportive housing (with services linked to housing stability), rapid rehousing (quick stabilization and placement in permanent affordable housing), and permanent housing meeting California housing standards.

Targets families receiving child welfare services with a child placed in foster care who are experiencing homelessness, with goals of preventing foster care placement and reuniting children with birth parents.

No General Fund appropriation is authorized for implementing this act.
