AB 1574: The Tribal Foster Care Prevention Program.
This bill establishes a Tribal Foster Care Prevention Program to provide funding to federally recognized Indian tribes in California or with lands extending into California. The program aims to preserve families and prevent children from entering foster care. Indian tribes can submit an annual letter of interest to receive funding, which is allocated annually by the Department subject to a budget appropriation. The Department must also provide guidance to implement and interpret the program's provisions without taking regulatory action.
