Provides for the establishment of a program by a county or city to provide certain housing facilities to assist persons experiencing homelessness. (BDR 20-863)

AB 317 allows counties and city councils to create local programs providing housing for people experiencing homelessness. The bill requires each program to offer housing facilities with individual units (each including a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and front porch) plus a community kitchen, alongside mandatory supportive services like case management, health care, and employment assistance. It specifically prohibits kitchens in individual housing units. The bill directly affects local governments (counties and cities) by authorizing and defining these housing programs, with no fiscal impact on state or local budgets.
