Bill overview
This bill creates a three-year pilot program called the Family Advocacy Pilot Program, overseen by the California Department of Social Services. The program will provide grants to qualified organizations to offer legal services aimed at preventing child welfare involvement and stabilizing families at risk. These services include legal representation, assistance from interdisciplinary teams, and training for other organizations providing similar support, with the goal of reducing unnecessary family separations and foster care placement.
