Existing federal law, the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999, provides the state with federal funding to enable programs that, among other things, identify children who are likely to remain in foster care until 18 years of age and help those children make the transition to self-sufficiency by providing services such as assistance in obtaining a high school diploma, career exploration, vocational training, job placement and retention, training in daily living skills, training in budgeting and financial management skills, substance abuse prevention, and preventive health activities. Existing law designates the State Department of Social Services as supervisor and administrator of public social services, including the Independent Living Program. Existing law declares the administration of public social services in each of the several counties of the state to be a county function, and in the case of public social services for which federal or state funds are provided, subject to the regulations of the department. Existing law requires the department, in consultation with county and state representatives, foster youth, and advocates, to develop statewide standards for the implementation and administration of the Independent Living Program. Existing law requires each county department of social services to submit an annual Independent Living Program report to the department, as specified.

The bill would require the department to annually update those links. By increasing county responsibilities, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
