AB 2470: Public social services: domestic violence services.
The bill aims to improve services for survivors of domestic violence by expanding the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWorks) program. It would require counties to provide the full value of temporary shelter assistance to survivors who do not use it all due to finding permanent housing. The bill also establishes a one-stop reentry program to assist survivors in obtaining vital records, credit reports, and financial information. Additionally, the bill would change the way the state funds the CalWorks program, requiring reimbursement for costs mandated by the state if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
