Overview
This bill amends California law to specifically include women with children as a vulnerable population within the focus of efforts to address homelessness. It requires cities, counties, and continuums of care receiving state funding to develop analyses and goals addressing the needs of these women, incorporating data from victim service providers and aligning with federal policies. The Interagency Council on Homelessness will post these analyses and goals on its website, and the state will provide reimbursement for any mandated costs.
