AB 1969: California Community Schools Partnership Program: Promise Neighborhoods.

The bill aims to establish a grant program to reduce child poverty and advance economic mobility for families disproportionately affected by intergenerational poverty. The program would be administered by the state department of social services and would grant awards to eligible neighborhood or regional partnerships for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 fiscal years. Grant recipients would need to develop an application process and establish performance standards to measure progress on relevant indicators and results. Annual reports would be required from each grant recipient, including information about the number and percentage of individuals served and data related to the program's success. The collected data would be subject to applicable privacy laws, and the department would need to enforce data privacy and protection policies with all grant recipients.
