This bill institutes a comprehensive policy solution to assist local communities struggling to identify and provide services to homeless families with students. AB 27 establishes a standardized process for identifying homeless children across all of our school systems. Additionally, this measure creates three temporary geographically located County Offices of Education to develop regional Technical Assistance Centers. These centers assist schools to implement best practices for identifying and connecting homeless students to services. The bill idea came as a result of roundtable discussions hosted by our office.
