Key Takeaways

  • Establishes three-year initial contracts for foster youth transitional housing providers.
  • Allows providers to renew contracts twice for one year each after the initial term.
  • Permits additional ten-year contract renewals after completing the one-year extensions.
  • Authorizes counties to terminate provider contracts with 90 days advance notice.

Summary

Assembly Member Schiavo's proposal to restructure contracts for transitional housing providers serving foster youth would establish standardized terms for these essential support services. The legislation creates a three-tiered contract structure: an initial three-year term, followed by eligibility for two one-year renewals, and then the option for subsequent ten-year renewal terms.

The measure grants counties authority to terminate contracts or specific contracted services with 90 days' notice to providers. This applies to both transitional housing placement providers serving foster youth age 16 and older, and Transitional Housing Program-Plus providers working with former foster youth who have exited the system after turning 18. While the bill creates new contractual requirements for counties to implement, it specifies that state reimbursement is not required for any resulting cost increases to local agencies beyond existing funding levels.
