CA SB914

Requires cities, counties, and continuums of care receiving state homelessness funding to include families, domestic violence survivors, and unaccompanied women as vulnerable populations for targeted system supports and services beginning January 1, 2024.

Mandates these entities develop analyses and goals with victim service providers addressing specific needs of these populations, including local landscape assessments incorporating victim service provider data and disaggregation of shelter beds provided.

Prohibits victim service providers from being required to enter client-level data into the statewide Homeless Data Integration System or Homeless Management Information System, while permitting state funding to support development of comparable alternative databases.

Requires the California Interagency Council on Homelessness to establish measurable goals by January 1, 2025, to prevent and end homelessness among domestic violence survivors and their children and among unaccompanied women, with evaluation every two years.

Establishes that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill contains state-mandated costs, reimbursement to local agencies shall be provided pursuant to existing state mandate reimbursement procedures.
