Amends Welfare and Institutions Code Section 4689.1 to authorize private for-profit agencies to serve as family home agencies, in addition to the previously allowed private not-for-profit agencies.

Family home agencies are vendored to recruit, approve, train, and monitor family home providers; provide social services and in-home support; and assist adults with developmental disabilities in moving into approved family homes.

Requires the Department of Developmental Services to promulgate regulations covering selection criteria, vendorization, operations, staffing, rates of payment, and monitoring standards for family home agencies and family homes.

Establishes that regional center reimbursement to family home agencies for services shall not exceed rates for similar individuals in other types of out-of-home care.

Mandates monthly monitoring visits by family home agency social service staff to approved family homes and family teaching homes, with procedures for enforcement, investigation of abuse or neglect, and sanctions.
