SB 479: Homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel teams.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 25, 2026

What SB 479 does, verified August 25, 2026

The bill aims to expand the existing homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel team model to cities designated as local health jurisdictions. This team will facilitate the identification, assessment, and linkage of homeless individuals to housing and supportive services. The team will share confidential information to coordinate care and ensure continuity of services. Each city will develop its own protocols for information sharing, which will be provided to the state department of social services. This expansion will enable more cities to establish these teams and provide comprehensive support to homeless individuals.
