LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Digest Key
Vote: 2/3 Appropriation: YES Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NOBill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
This act shall be known, and may be cited, as the End the Foster Care-to-Homelessness Pipeline Act.SEC. 2.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(9)Similarly, the Community Investment Guarantee Pool (CIGP), launched in 2019, has pulled together major names in philanthropy and impact investing, including, among others, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Arnold Ventures, the Annie E. Casey and Kresge foundations, to offer loan guarantees for a range of socially conscious private enterprises. In 2021, the CIGP used $15,000,000 in guarantees to leverage $131,000,000 in capital to develop affordable housing.
(10)The solution for foster youth is the stable, predictable, and affordable housing they need to find their footing and success. The state needs to create an unfunded loan guarantee pool, administered by the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank), to spur private debt financing to develop housing for current and former foster youth. In conjunction with existing rental subsidies this strategy portends a dramatic ramp-up in housing for this particularly vulnerable population.
