LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1618, as introduced, Wilson.
Homelessness.
Existing law establishes the California Interagency Council on Homelessness to identify mainstream resources, benefits, and services that can be accessed to prevent and end homelessness in California by creating partnerships between federal, state, local, and nonprofit entities.
Existing law requires the coordinating council to conduct, or contract with an entity to conduct, a statewide assessment to identify state programs that provide housing or services to persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, as defined, and collect and analyze data to provide a comprehensive view of the homeless response system. Existing law requires a state agency with a member on the council to provide requested data within 60 days, subject to certain exceptions.
This bill would make a technical,
nonsubstantive change to these provisions.
