Bill > AB2470

This bill aims to enhance support for domestic violence survivors by modifying the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program and establishing a new reentry program. Specifically, it allows individuals receiving homeless assistance due to domestic violence who find permanent housing before exhausting their temporary shelter benefits to receive the value of the unused temporary shelter days as permanent housing assistance, ensuring they don't lose out on support. Additionally, the bill mandates the State Department of Social Services to create a "one-stop reentry program" that will collaborate with various agencies like local registrars, credit bureaus, and financial institutions to help survivors obtain vital records, credit reports, and financial account information, and to assist them with issues like identity theft and establishing new financial accounts. The bill also makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to the stated purpose of public social services programs.
