CA SB1010

Creates a Supportive Housing Pilot Program by January 1, 2019, operating alongside the existing Integrated Services for Mentally Ill Parolees program to provide supportive housing and mental health services to eligible parolees.

Establishes memoranda of understanding with participating counties in which the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation pays for bridge rental assistance and mental health treatment costs while counties provide community-based mental health treatment and post-parole rental assistance through Mental Health Services Act programs.

Defines eligible participants as inmates or parolees with serious mental illness who voluntarily participate and are either within 60-180 days of release and likely to become homeless, or are currently homeless parolees.

Requires participating counties to report program outcomes including number of participants served, housing status, arrests, mental health treatment access, and recidivism, with an independent evaluator to analyze results by January 1, 2023.

Mandates that housing meet supportive housing standards including lease-based tenancy, fair market rent subsidies, and wraparound services such as case management, housing navigation, and benefit assistance.
