NAME IS THAT THE COURT HAS A

THE PRIVILEGE AND THE
REPRESENTING THE THANK YOU AND
AMONG THE AMAZING POPULATION
AND REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT
NUMBER OF MINOR AND NON MINOR
TO. WHO ARE SOME OF THE MOST
RESILIENT AND AMAZING PARENTS
AT RENOWN I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE
WITH YOU ONE OF THEIR STORIES
AND WHY EIGHTY SIX SEVENTY IS.
SO IMPORTANT. IN FEBRUARY
TWENTY SEVENTEEN AT AGE
SEVENTEEN. MY CLIENT TWO
CHILDREN WERE DETAINED AND PLAY
FOR THE PATERNAL GREAT
GRANDMOTHER. AFTER A VERY
HIGHLY CONTESTED HEARING. SHE
WENT INTO A VERY DIFFICULT
TWENTY FOUR MONTHS DEGREE
INDICATION SERVICES. DUE IN
LARGE PART TO HER STABILITY
WHICH ARE SOME OF THE REASONS
WHY HER CASE CAME IN AFTER THE
PENDANT. SHE WAS UNABLE TO
REUNIFY AND THE CHILDREN WENT
INTO PERMANENTLY PLANNING A
FAMILY. ALTHOUGH DURING THIS
TIME SHE MAINTAINED A VERY
CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH BOTH OF
HER CHILDREN. THREE YEARS LATER
AT AGE TWENTY WHILE SHE WAS
STILL A NON MINOR CONTENDED.
SHE HAD A NEW BABY THAT WILL BE
PAINTED BURKE. DURING THE TIME
SHE WAS BRIEFLY INCARCERATED
AND MADE APPROPRIATE PLANS BUT
DUE TO THE DEPARTMENT AFFECTING
HER HIGH WITH THE HARD. BECAUSE
OF THE PREVIOUS HISTORY AND
WALTER CURRENT INCARCERATION.
THE RECOMMENDATION WAS AND NOT
PROVIDE HER WITH FAMILY
REUNIFICATION THIRD OF THE
THIRD CHILD. THEY DID NOT AND
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY OF THE
CHANGES THAT SHE HAD MADE.
AFTER THREE YEARS AND A LOT OF
GROWTH INCLUDING PARTICIPATING
IN THIRD BALLING HARD RATED
AFTER HER RELEASE. SHE WAS NOT
ONLY ABLE TO REUNIFY WITH THE
THIRD CHILD AFTER A HIGHLY
COMPETITIVE DIVISION HEARING
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. HE
ACTUALLY CLOSED EXCESSIVELY.
WITH NO CONCERN SIX MONTHS
LATER. TODAY MY CLIENT HAD ALL.
SUCCESSFULLY FOR A MOTION AND
RE. WITH THE FOLDER TO CHILL
THAT WOULD. AND TWENTY SEVEN.
THE DEPARTMENT INITIALLY
RECOMMENDED ADOPTION OF THE TWO
CHILDREN. NOT BELIEVING THAT
SHE EVER WOULD HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO PARIS AND SAFELY.
BUT NOW ALL THREE CHILDREN IN
HER CARE AND BRIBING. SHE
STABLE. WORKING IN SCHOOL AND
PROVIDING A LOVING HOME FOR ALL
THREE OF HER CHILDREN. WHO ARE
NOW ABLE TO PROVIDE WE'RE NOW
AT A LIVE IN A HOME TOGETHER
ACTIVELY. IT'S A SOCIAL WORKER
IN THE DEPARTMENT INITIAL
RECOMMENDATION OF NO FAMILY
REUNIFICATION GRANTED. ALL
THREE OF THESE CHILDREN WERE
NOT OF THE TURN HOME AND NONE
OF THEM WOULD HAVE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY KILL THE TRAUMA. OF
THE PAST FIVE YEARS THE VERY
YOUNG FAMILY AND NOW ALL THREE
OF THEM ARE TOGETHER WITH THEIR
MOTHERS THE PLATE. AND WE DO
ANTICIPATE THAT IN OCTOBER HER
CAPABLE TO BE OLDER TWO
CHILDREN BOB. DOLE IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT TAKES INTO
ACCOUNT THE SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES THAT OUR YOUNG
CHARACTER BASIC AND- IF YOU'RE-
THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HER
CHILDREN THE CHANGES ARE. BUT
SHOULD NOT BE HELD AGAINST HER
THREE YEARS LATER ESPECIALLY
WHEN THEY'RE RELATED TO THE
VERY REASON FOR KATE COMING FOR
THE KIDS. TO GET WET.
ADDITIONALLY HER PRIOR BECAUSE
THE HISTORY OF THE MINOR SHOULD
NOT. BE CONSIDERED A RED. THE
REASON THAT SHE CAME TO THE
SYSTEM ONE IS USED AGAINST HER
AT THE PARENT AND THE COMPLETE
JACK ARE MINOR. AND MODERATE.
THE GROWTH THAT PLACE BETWEEN A
TEENAGE YEARS AND YOUNG ADULT
YEARS BUT SIGNIFICANT AND IS
BILL TO GIVE ALL OF OUR YOUNG
PARENTS A CHANCE TO SHOW THE
WORLD. AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN WALLET
KNOWLEDGE IN CHANGING
CIRCUMSTANCES. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY TO HELP STOP THE
GENERATIONAL CYCLE THE FOSTER
CARE. I NOTICED QUITE VERY VERY
WELL AND I CAN SAY THAT IT IS
AN AMAZING THING TO WATCH HER
BE ABLE TO PARENT HER CHILDREN
AFTER SO MANY PEOPLE DOUBTED
HER. AND I THINK THAT IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU REALLY HEAR
WINE YOU FOR EACH UNDERSTAND
WHY A BILL LIKE THIS. AGAIN
IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING IN
WRITING OR SOMETHING THAT YOU
SHOW THE BUNCH THAT THEY
ACTUALLY HAVE. SIGNIFICANTLY
AFFECT THE LIVES OF OUR
CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN'S

SO THAT WE STEP DOWN AND STEP
AWAY FROM. THESE MUCH MORE
INTENSE SERVICES BECAUSE WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS ARE
HEADED TOWARDS FAMILY TYPE
PLACEMENTS WITH RESOURCE
FAMILIES AND IN PLACEMENTS THAT
THAT SERVE THEIR INTEREST THE
BEST BUT SOMETIMES WE NEED TO
GET THEM READY. SO THAT'S
REALLY WHAT AB EIGHT EIGHT
AWAIT IS ABOUT IT'S ADDRESSING
THE PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED WHEN
WE HAD THE DECERTIFY KIDS AND
THE FACT THAT WE SEND KIDS OUT
OF STATE. AT TIMES WHEN WE
PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE DOING
THAT BECAUSE THE CLOSER KIDS
ARE HOME. THE BETTER THEY'RE
GOING TO BE THE MORE. THE
INDIVIDUALIZED PLACEMENT AND
THE THERAPEUTIC SETTING WITH
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND ALL
THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED.
THE MORE THAT THAT CAN HAPPEN.
INTENSELY IF NECESSARY AND THEN
STEP DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM
THOSE MORE. RESTRICTIVE
INTENSIVE ENVIRONMENTS INTO
INDIVIDUALIZED PLACEMENTS INTO
A MORE FAMILY LIKE SETTING. IS
FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THOSE
CHILDREN. THAT'S WHAT AB EIGHT
WAYS TO IT WERE ALSO TRACKING
LANGUAGE THROUGH BUDGET TRAILER
AND TALK WITH THE BUDGET
COMMITTEES AND A LOT OF FOLKS
TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN FORM
TRANSFORM THE SYSTEM. TO MAKE
IT WORK BETTER FOR OUTCOMES FOR
KIDS THAT WE WERE DOING A LOT
TAKE A LOT OF AMENDMENTS THAT A
LOT OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT THE
CHILDREN'S LAWCENTER ASKED US
TO TAKE IN THIS OF THE CONCERNS
THAT THEY'VE BEEN RAISING OVER
THE TIME REALLY ABOUT
ACCOUNTABILITY AND ENSURING
THAT WE HAVE. THE RIGHT KIND OF
REPORTING AND FEEDBACK ON THE
SYSTEMS SO THE KIDS ARE NOT
GETTING LOST WITHIN THE SYSTEM.
WE'RE ALSO ADDING A MORATORIUM.
IN THIS BILL ON SENDING KIDS
OUT OF STATE ON IT IT'S A
MORATORIUM ON. THE DEPARTMENT'S
ABILITY TO CERTIFY AT THE STATE
PLACEMENTS AND THAT'S IMPORTANT
HERE. ARE THERE IS SOMETHING
ACTUALLY THAT THE SENATE HAS
BEEN ASKING US TO DO SENATE
BUDGET HAS BEEN ASKING US TO DO
WE AGREED TO PUT THAT IN HERE.
AND I KNOW THAT THE CALIFORNIA
WELFARE DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION
WHO IS ONE OF THE SPONSORS. IS
NOT HAPPY WITH A MORATORIUM AND
I THINK THEY WILL ADDRESS THAT
COUNTY SAN EARLY WHEN SHE TALKS
WILL WILL ADDRESS THAT. I'M
FINE WITH THE MORATORIUM
BECAUSE IT MAKES IT PRETTY
CLEAR STATEMENT. THAT WE NEED
TO DEVELOP THIS CAPACITY IN
CALIFORNIA. TO THE BEST EXTENT
THAT WE CAN. I THINK THE
COUNTIES ARE APPROPRIATELY
CONCERNED RIGHT NOW. THAT AS WE
DEVELOP THE PILOT. WHICH IS
MEANT TO BE. THE REPLACEMENT
FOR THE OT OF STATE.
PLACEMENTS AS WE DEVELOP THAT
PILOT. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
WITH THE NEED. TO SERVE THESE
KIDS WE MIGHT HAVE TO BE
SENDING SOME OF THEM. OUT OF
STATE AND I THINK THAT IS. I
UNDERSTAND THAT CONCERN AT THIS
POINT. BUT I THINK IT'S
INCUMBENT ON US. TO DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN O KEEP THOSE
KIDS IN STATE. DEVELOP THE
CAPACITY TO SERVE THEM. AT THE
HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE. WITH
APPROPRIATE SERVICES INCLUDING
THE MENTAL HEALTH PORTION. AND
I WILL ADMIT THAT THAT MENTAL
HEALTH PORTION WAS WHAT WE
STRUGGLED WITH WITH THE
CONTINUED CARE REFORM IS
GETTING THAT PIECE PUT IN.
BECAUSE THE NOTION WAS THE
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. WE WERE
INSTEAD OF. PROVIDING MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES AFTER DIAGNOSIS
IN DOWN THE ROAD WE WERE TRYING
TO MAKE SURE THAT WILL PROVIDE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES UP FRONT
FOR THESE KIDS. BECAUSE EVERY
KID COMING INTO CONTACT. WITH
AN AGENCY OR WITH A PROGRAM
LIKE THIS. IS SUBJECT TO TRAUMA
AND ADVERSE CHILDHOOD
EXPERIENCES IN ALL OF THESE
THINGS THAT. THAT SHOULD LEAD
US TO MAKE IT NATURAL THAT WE
WOULD PROVIDE. MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES TO THEM. AND YET WE
HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THAT THAT'S
PART AND PARCEL TO THIS TO THE-
WHAT THE- PILOT IS FAR. LIKE
STA RT PEAS BUT MAYBE FOR ONE.
AND THEY ARE CO JOINED WITH
SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
SERVICES. WHICH FOR. NOW SO A
FOCUS OF THE ADMINISTRATION
WHICH IS A VERY GOOD THING. AND
IF WE CAN HELP THOSE KIDS IN
THAT SITUATION. WE CAN DEVELOP
THAT KEPT CAPACITY BETTER IN
CALIFORNIA ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
PLACEMENTS HERE. THAT'S WHAT AB
EIGHT AWAIT IS ABOUT TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION THAT
WE FOUND LAST FALL WHEN THE
STATE HAD TO DECERTIFY ALL OF
THOSE OUT OF STATE PROGRAMS.
AND BUILDING THAT CAPACITY
HERE. NOW IF THROUGH THE BUDGET
MAKING APPROPRIATE INVESTMENTS.
IN THOSE KIDS IN THOSE PROGRAMS
GETTING THEM STABLE GETTING
THEM ABLE TO BE SENT OUT TO
RESOURCE FAMILIES AND THEY'RE
ALSO COMPONENTS WITH THIS THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT. TWO GROW OUR
ABILITY CALIFORNIA TO RETAIN
RECRUIT. AND BRING THESE
RESOURCE FAMILIES. INTO OUR
COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE HAVE THAT CAPACITY ACROSS
THE STATE. SO THAT THE HOT AND
I KNOW THAT HE VETO IT IS A LOT
BUT IT IS LONG PAST TIME WE
ADDRESS THIS IN CALIFORNIA. AND
BECAUSETHERE'S MONEY IN THE
BUDGET IN BECAUSE WERE WE HAD
THE NEED TO DE CERTIFY ALL OF
THOSE OUT OF STATE IT JUST
SEEMS TO ME THIS IS OUR
OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE THOSE
GAPS. MAKE SURE THOSE KIDS ARE
NOT SENT OUT OF STATE. MAKE
SURE WE HAVE THAT CAPACITY IN
CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS THOSE
NEEDS IN THESE OUR DEPENDENCY
KIDS. AND DELINQUENCY KIDS USER
ANY KID HOW IDEALLY WHO NEEDS
THE SERVICES OF PROTECTION AND
HELP. THAT'S WHAT EIGHT AWAIT
IS ABOUT AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK

THE NEEDS THE SYSTEM INVOLVED
CHILDREN- THANK TO HIS
LEADERSHIP THIS AS OF ALL THE
WAY CON PLACE AND TORE MORE
FOR. BASED STUDY. WE NOW HAVE A
OF OUT OF PLACE OPTIONS DIDN'T
MEET THE RANGE OF NEEDS BY
SYSTEM INVOLVED. HOWEVER THE
KERN STRUCTURE IS NOT
SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
SOME CHILDREN WITH COMPLEX
MENTAL OR BEFORE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH NEEDS. AND IN THE PAST
SOME COUNTIES HAVE RELIED ON
OUT OF STATE PLACEMENTS FOR
THESE CHILDREN AS PREVIOUSLY
NOTED- SHOCKING REPORTS OF
CHILDREN. A CHILD. MULCH AND
EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CHILD.
AND THESE ARE THE STATE
PLACEMENTS HAS RAISED ALARMS
THROUGHOUT THE CHILD WELFARE
SYSTEM. IN RESPONSE A HUNDRED
THIRTY EIGHT FOSTER CHILDREN
WHO WERE PLACED IN OUT OF STATE
FACILITIES HAVE RETURNED. TO
CALIFORNIA AN NOW HAVE IN
STATE PLACEMENTS. THUS WE
CURRENTLY HAVE NO FOSTER
CHILDREN PLACED IN OUT OF STATE
GROUP HOMES. THIS BILL PROPOSES
TO FURTHER EXPAND IN STATE
PLACEMENT OPTIONS BY CREATING
NEW SPECIALIZED FOSTER HOMES
AND A- AND A CHILDREN'S CRISIS
CONTINUE A PILOT PROGRAM
INTENDED TO MEET THE COMPLEX-
MENTAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS
OF THOSE FOSTER YOUTH. AT AND
COUNTIES TO HAVE THE GREATEST
CHALLENGE CHALLENGES PLACING.
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS WILL
CREATE A MORATORIUM ON OUT OF
STATE PLACEMENTS AS IS
NECESSARY TO ENSURE OUR MOST
WINNABLE CHILDREN ARE. NO
LONGER PLACED IN HARM'S WAY
WILL IN FACILITIES ARE. THAT
ARE FAR AWAY FROM THE A
PROTECTIONS CREATED FOR AND
STATE PLACEMENT I UNDERSTAND WE
HAVE OPPOSITION TO THE-
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AND
ALTHOUGH I APPRECIATE THE
COUNTIES CONCERNS. THAT MORE
TIME IS NEEDED BEFORE OUT OF
STATE PLACEMENTS CAN BE STOPPED
I CONTINUED TO FEEL AS- THE
CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE- THAT I
CANNOT SUPPORT ANY PLACEMENT OF
CHILDREN IN OUT OF STATE CARE
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THESE
YOUTH AND THEREFORE WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL IN THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. AND ALSO-
LIKE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO. OUR COMMITTEE- MEMBERS TO
PROVIDE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS
ON THIS BILL AND- I HAVE AT
THIS TIME. SENATE QUARTERS HE
AND THEN FOLLOWED BY CENTER
PATH. AND THEN CENTER COME. ON
EARTH. THANK YOU IN I'M SURE
AND- THANK YOU OFFER FREE
LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA- MUCH
APPRECIATED I. AM SUPPORTIVE
AND I AND I UNDERSTAND- THE
ISSUES- AROUND OUR STATE
PLACEMENT IN THE ATTEMPT TO
CORRECT THE ERROR. I'M JUST
CURIOUS BECAUSE A BILL. IT WAS
IN WOULD HELP OTHER- WHAT I
WOULD CALL KIND OF CASCADING
EFFECT ON THE CONTINUUM. IN MY
RECENT EXPERIENCE APART FROM
THE SENATE- INFORMED ME THAT
THE EARLY- DAYS ON THE
CONTINUUM IN TERMS OF
PLACEMENT- ARE ARE PROBLEMATIC
AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU
COULD BRIEFLY INDICATE WHETHER
OR NOT THIS BILL WILL NOT THIS
BILL BECAUSE OF A SPECIALIZED-
THE SPECIALIZED. DEVELOPMENT A
SPECIALIZED FOSTER CARE
BASEMENT- IF IT'S IF IT'S YOUR
INTENT OR YOUR YOUR VISION WITH
THIS BILL THAT THAT WILL HELP
ON THE FRONT END OF THE
PLACEMENT PROCESS AS AS KIDS
ARE- ESSENTIALLY TAKING HIM. AT
INTAKE- IT IS IT IS AGAIN MY
EXPERIENCE THAT THOSE EARLY
DAYS- OFTENTIMES TURN INTO MORE
THAN DAYS AND IT TURNED INTO A
PROBLEMATIC PERIOD ON THE
CONTINUE- YES SHORT ANSWERS.
YES OR NO WHETHER OR NOT IT'S
THE INTENT OF THE BILL THE
IMPACT THAT IS FINE AND IT IS
IT IS. BUT REALIZED THAT THEY
CONSIST WHAT WE STRUGGLE WITH
WITH CONTINUE IT WAS WAS IT WAS
DESIGNED FOR TO CREATE A
THERAPEUTIC LEVEL. WITH MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES UP FRONT AND
THAT'S BEEN THE STRUGGLE AND A
LOT OF THIS TIER T. P.'S. WORKS
TAKING SOME OF THE KIDS WITH
HIGH SECURITY. AND THAT'S WHY A
LOT OF THEM WERE LED TO THE
COUNTIES WERE TRYING TO FIND
PLACEMENTS FOR THEM. AND WE'RE
SENDING THEM OUT OF STATE
REMEMBER THE OUT OF STATE
FACILITIES ARE NOT LICENSED BY
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THEIR
LICENSE BY THEIR HOME STATE.
THEY'RE JUST CERTIFIED BY THE
STATE THANK AND CURRENTLY THERE
ANDBELIEVE THERE ARE NO
CERTIFIED OUT OF STATE.
PLACEMENTS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT
PRECLUDES SHORT THE MORATORIUM
THE STATE FROM LICENSING THEM.
SO WHAT WE FOUND WAS AN
INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF THE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. AND
ESTHER TO SHORT TERM
RESIDENTIAL THERAPEUTIC.
PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTIES NOT
ALWAYS WILLING TO TAKE SOME OF
THE KIDS WITH THE HIGH
SECURITY. SO YES S. KIDS COME
IN IF THEY'RE EXHIBITING THOSE
HI CUTIE CHALLENGES. THERE WAS
A STRUGGLE LOCALLY TO FIGURE
OUT WHERE TO PLACE THEM THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS.
BUT TEY'RE STILL WILL REMAIN
SOME CHALLENGES ON GOING AND I
HAVE ANOTHER BILL THAT'S MOVING
THROUGH WE'RE WE'RE CONTINUALLY
WORKING. ON ON THE DRESSING
IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES WITH
THE CONTAINMENT CARE REFORM. IN
LESS CONTROVERSIAL SETTINGS
THIS IS A THIS IS A MAJOR STEP
SO YES IT IS INTENDED TO TRY TO
ENSURE THAT WE THAT WE HAVE A
BROADER RANGE OF PLACEMENTS FOR
KIDS. ESPECIALLY ONES THAT HAVE
BEEN HARDER TO PLACE. AS THEY
WERE IDENTIFIED AND BROUGHT IN
BROUGHT INTO THE SYSTEM BOTH
DEPENDENCY AND DELINQUENCY MORE
TRYING TO FIND PLACES. FOR KIDS
TO GO. THAT SERVE THEIR NEEDS
SO THIS IS A MISSING COMPONENT
THIS IS A GAP THAT I THINK WAS
GOING TO BE SHOWN WITH THE GAPS
ANALYSIS THAT THAT. DEPARTMENT
WAS DOING BUT IS LATE IN
PROVIDING- WE'RE JUST.
TIMELINE'S MOVED UP BECAUSE THE
SITUATION WE FOUND OURSELVES IN
WITH THE DECERTIFICATION SO
YEAH THIS IS INTENDED. TO HELP
WITH THAT BUT AS A COMPLETE
ANSWER NO WE ARE GOING TO
STRUGGLE WITH IMPLEMENTATION
CHALLENGES AND CONTINUE TO AND
THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT A BAD
THING. BECAUSE ANY SYSTEM IT'S
LARGER COMPLEXES THIS IF WE'RE
NOT CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT
TAKING FEEDBACK. LOOKING AT
DATA LOOKING AT WHAT HAPPENED
TO THOSE KIDS THEN WE'RE GOING
TO FIND OURSELVES IN THE SAME
SITUATION OF A REFORM THAT
NEEDED TO BE REFORMED BECAUSE
KIDS WILL BE DROPPING TO THE
CRACK. SO IT WE'RE LOOKING AT
IT AND THEN WITH THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH
THE COMMITTEE. AND TO BUDGET
STAFF AND ALL THESE OTHER
PLAYERS IS NOT JUST THE PILOT
BECAUSE WE CAN'T HAVE THE
PILOT. AND THIS IS WHERE THE
YOUTH LAWCENTERIS TALKING
ABOUT. THAT WHAT THEY WERE
ALARMED ABOUT. HOPE IT LEASE IT
WHAT WE DO IS THE PILOT. AND
THERE'S NO PLACE TO TAKE THESE
HIGH ACUITY KIDS AND STEP THEM
DOWN INTO BETTER PLACEMENTS
THAT ARE SERVING THEIR NEEDS.
THEN WE HAVE RESTRICTIVE AND WE
HAVE LESS RESTRICTIVE AND
THERE'S JUST NO BROADER PLAN.
SO THAT'S WHY THIS HAS BECOME
COMPLEX. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE
COMPLEX OTHERWISE WE'RE NOT
GOING TO BE SERVING ALL THE
KIDS. SO WHAT BABY MORE LOOKING
FOR IN THAT BUT YEAH THIS IS
NOT AN EASY THING BUT WE HAVE
SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY NOW HERE TO
CLOSE SOME OF THESE GAPS. AND A
LOOK AT KIDS AT THE HIGHER AND
GET THEM THE SERVICES THEY NEED
AND WHAT THE IMPORTANT
COMPONENT OF THIS IS. IS IF
THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN THAT
HIGH. ACUITY SERVICE LEVEL.
THAT WITHIN STEPPING THEM DOWN
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE
THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE-
ADDRESSING WHATEVER IT IS THEY
NEED TO ADDRESS. AND WE'RE
KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE MOST
RESTRICTIVE AND THE MOST
INTENSIVE SITUATIONS WHICH IN
WHICH IS GOOD FOR THEM TO START
OFF WITH THE HELP BUT NOT GOOD
FOR THEM LONG TERM. THANK YOU
YOUR I APPRECIATED THE RESPONSE
THANK YOU MARIA THE COMMISSION.
THANK YOU SENATOR CENTER PATH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ST RIVER-
STONE THAT FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS
WORKERS FOR MANY YEARS ON THE-
THE FORMS KHATOON CARE REFORMS
AND- CERTAINLY APPRECIATE WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH-
WITH WITH THIS BILL- AND-
FRANKLY I DO AGREE WITH THE-
MORATORIUM IT'S A CHALLENGE
BUT- FRANKLY I'M NOT SURE ANY
OTHER STATE DOES IT ANY BETTER
AND SO BY SIMPLY SHIPPING THEM
OUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE OUT OF
SIGHT OUT OF MIND. BECAUSE AND
I THINK WE FOUND OUT AS WE
ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING
ON YOU DON'T REALLY DOING ANY
BETTER NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT WE'RE DOING THAT WE
COULDN'T DO BETTER ALSO AND I
APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO BUILD THE CAPACITY INCLUDING
THE PILOTS. I GUESS THE
QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS
THAT- ULTIMATELY- I'M- ASSUMING
THAT THE PILOTS OR SUCCESSFUL
OR THAT. ANY AT SOME POINT TIME
WE'VE HAD- PEOPLE. DO SO THAT'S
WHY. I'M A PEDIATRICIAN I TOOK
CARE OF THE CHILDREN WITH
BEHAVIORAL ISSUES- INCLUDING
MANY FOSTER CHILDREN AND- SOME
OF THEM CAN BE EXTREMELY
CHALLENGING. RIGHT THERE IN
SITUATIONS AND- CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THAT WE SHOULD TRY
TO KEEP SOME OF THE LATE LEAST
RESTRICTIVE. AT THE SAME TIME
THERE ARE NO AT LEAST A CERTAIN
POINTS IN TIME AND- BEHAVIOR
ORDER SECURE CIRCUMSTANCES
WHERE THEY REALLY DO NEED
INTENSIVE. CARE AND- SO SOUNDS
LIKE WHAT WE DID IS THAT WE
SAID WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. IF
THERE'S- THE REALLY INTENSIVE.
WE'RE NAMING IT TAKE THEM INTO
OUR OWN STR DURING OUR OWN
SHORT TERM STR T. P.'S RIGHT.
WHAT'S GONNA SHIP THEM OUT
SOMEWHERE. HER EIGHT AND NOW
WILL SAY YOU CAN'T DO THAT. IT
YOU DO YOU THINK WE TOOK WHERE
ACTUALLY HERE IN CALIFORNIA
WE'RE GONNA SAY YOU KNOW NO
MATTER HOW DIFFICULT THEY ARE.
GONNA FIND A WAY TAKE CARE OF
THEM SOMETIMES THE RESULTS ARE
YOU KNOW THEY TAKE TIME IT'S
YOUNG IT'S NOT THERE'S NO MAGIC
BULLET TO KNOW TREATING SOMEONE
THAT'S ONLY TAKES A CHILD TO.
HAVE GIVEN A CERTAIN SET OF
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE TRAUMA
THE EXPERIENCE IN THE MIDDLE
HEALTH ISSUES THAT. EVEN WITH
THE BEST OF CARE THAT THEY'RE
INSTANTLY EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE
PERFECTLY FINE FOR THEM RIGHT
AT THAT. TREATMENT TAKES TIME
IT TAKES EFFORT. EVEN WITH A
HIGH PERCENTAGE OF HIS
SUCCESSOR STILL FRACTION AND
AREN'T SO SUCCESSFUL- THAT BUT
I ALSO SORT OF YOU AND YOU
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF YOU THINK
THAT YOU THINK FEEL DIFFERENTLY
OR THINK I'M WRONG. IS THAT TO
CERTAIN EXTENT PART OF THE
REASON WE GOT TO WHERE WE
GOTTEN AND WHAT YOUR AND I
THINK WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
SOMEONE ADDRESSING THE BILL IS
THAT. OF THE ONE WHO REALLY
NEED INTENSIVE CARE WE'RE-
WE'RE WE'RE ALMOST A LITTLE
FRAYED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM
THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS OKAY FINE
WE'LL REFER THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE
INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HERE. AND AND I ALSO
APPRECIATE WITH THE PILOT THAT
STILL DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE THE
CAPACITY TAKE CARE OF ALL OF
THEM- BUT HOPEFULLY- WE CAN GET
TO THAT PLACE- BUT- TO I GUESS
AND THEN TRY TO QUESTIONS THAT
RATE CLEAR BUT AT SOME SOME
POINT TIME WE HAVE TO SAY IS A
SYSTEM- WE- MATTER HOW.
DIFFICULT IT MAY BE TO TAKE
CARE OF SOME OF THE D. THEFT AT
THAT AT A PARTICULAR
CIRCUMSTANCE AGAIN AND AGREE
WITH THE HELP DESK BUT YOU HAVE
SOMEONE WHO'S- THAT. WITH THAT
WE DON'T JUST SHIP THEM OUT
SOMEWHERE WE HAVE TO SOMEHOW
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND SAY
YES WE'RE GOING TO JUST DO THE
BEST WE CAN. TO TAKE CARE OF
THEM DOES THAT MAKE SENSE- ARE
TODAY HE DOES IT YEAH. THIS IS
EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING. THAT
IT'S A PILOT FOR A COUPLE
REASONS. ONE OF WHICH SAID THIS
THIS IS. DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS
THIS IS A SECRET. WHAT ARE THE
REASONS THAT THE PILOT IS
BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THEY LIKE
PILOTS NOT PERMITTED SETTING
THE OTHER REASONS PILOT. IS TO
ENSURE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE
RECOGNIZE. THAT WE'RE GONNA
NEED TO FEED. THE NEED TO BE
TESTING AND ENSURING THAT WHAT
WE'RE DOING. WORKS BECAUSE WE
JUST SET SOMETHING UP AND SAY
WE'RE DONE RIGHT THERE'S NO.
THERE'S NONE OF THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY THERE'S NONE OF
THAT MAKING SURE WE DID THE
RIGHT THING. AND IF THIS IS
GOING TO MORPH OVER TIME I
THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING IN
THIS CASE BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
WE'RE LISTENING TO OURSELVES
AND WE'RE LOOKING WHAT THE
OUTCOMES ARE. GREAT SO THAT'S
KIND OF WHY. WE TALKED ABOUT IT
IT IT SORT OF SEEMS A PILOT BUT
IT IS THIS WORKS YEAH WE'RE
LOOKING AT. INTENSIVE SERVICES
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT
CAPACITY WE DID JUST SEND THEM
OUT AND BECAUSE WE JUST WE
WEREN'T ABLE TO SERVE THEM HERE
WE DIDN'T HAVE THE WILLINGNESS
AND A LOT OF THOSE OTHER
COMPONENTS WORK MORE QUITE
WORKING THAT'S REALLY WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO. THERE WERE
NOT ABOUT THAT MANY KIDS THAT
NEED THAT HELLO HIGH LEVELS OF
SERVICES AND ONE OF MY FEARS.
IS THAT IF WE CREATE. THESE
BETS THE- THERE ARE HIGH LEVEL
BEDS THAT ARE EXPENSIVE. THEN
WE CREATE THE DESIRE TO
CONTINUE TO FILL THEM ALL THE
TIME. WELL THAT'S OVER KILLING
WE'RE PUTTING KIDS IN
SITUATIONS THEY DON'T NEED THAT
IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM. IF WE SET
IT UP WITH THE STEP DOWNS IN
THIS CONCERT REVIEW. THEN THE
SYSTEM IS REALLY SET UP TO TEN
NOT NECESSARILY FILL THOSE BEDS
BUT MAKE SURE WERE.
APPROPRIATELY PLACING KIDS SO
THOSE KIDS WHO NEED LONGER
SERVICES. CAN GET THEM. AND THE
KIDS WHO DONALD PARTS STOCK IN
THAT. THEN THE FLIP SIDE TO
THIS AND WHERE THE- THE WILL
FOR DIRECTORS IN THE- PROBATION
SHE'S ARE CORRECT. WE BROUGHT
THOSE KIDS BACK AND THEY GOT
PLACE. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
ACTUAL DISTANCE STATISTICS THE
NUMBER OF KIDS WHO ARE A WALL
AT WAR WHO WENT BACK INTO
JUVENILE HALL. THAT LEVEL OF
THE PERCENTAGES OF THOSE KIDS
WE BROUGHT BACK. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
SO WE HAVE TO AND WHETHER
REASONS THAT THAT I'M
SUPPORTIVE OF A MORATORIUM.
ALTHOUGH I AM SENSITIVE TO MY
SPONSORS BELIEVE YOU ME ON THIS.
BUT WE HAVE TO LIGHT A FIRE AND
WE HAVE TO PUSH HARD TO MAKE
SURE WE GET THIS WORK DONE. WE
HAVE MONEY NOW IN THE STATE WE
HAVE THE MOMENTUM IN SOME
IMPETUS. LET'S TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THAT AND IF ALL WE DO IS
KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.
AND THEN ASK THE DEPARTMENT TO
DO MORE CERTIFICATIONS OF OUT
OF STATE FACILITIES WHERE WE
DON'T HAVE THE CONTROL WE DON'T
HAVE THE INSIGHT WE DON'T HAVE
THE OVERSIGHT. WE'RE GONNA END
UP BACK WITH THE SAME SCANDALS
SO LET'S TRY THIS A LITTLE BIT
HARDER. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF THOSE KIDS AND
FROM A PEDIATRICIAN STANDPOINT.
WHEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON
EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF
DEVELOPMENT DELAYS AND
CHALLENGES FOR KIDS. A LOT OF
PHYSICIANS PUSH BACK AND THEIR
PUSH BACK IS WE IDENTIFIED I
DON'T HAVE A PLACE TO REFER
THEM WE DON'T HAVE THE SERVICES.
SO IF WE HAVE THE SERVICES IF
WE BUILD THIS. IN WE CAN HELP
THOSE KIDS. AND WE NO LONGER
HAVE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY SO
LET'S JUST DO THAT. I'M WORKING
FOR THE WITH THIS POPULATION
SPECIFICALLY DEPENDENCY
DELINQUENCY KIDS YES. BUT
THEY'RE ALSO A LOT OF.
DEVELOPMENT DISABLED KIDS AND
OTHERS WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
REALLY WHERE TO GO THEY GO OUT
OF STATE. LET'S LOOK AT WHAT
WE'RE DOING HERE. TAKE A HARD
LOOK AT THE SYSTEM. FOR
CALIFORNIA FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
BURKE VERY LARGE STATE I DON'T
HAVE THE CAPACITY WE SHOULD BE
DOING ALL OF THAT HERE AND THIS
IS A STEP THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
TAKE IN THIS WAY WE NEED TO BE
DOING THIS NOW AND WE'RE DOING
HERE POLICY. RESIDENT BUDGET.
NO THANK THANK YOU AND I ALSO
SET ON THE BUDGETS OF THREE-
THE ON HEALTH AND EVEN SERVICE
SO SOFT TISSUE TO WORK AND-
CERTAINLY I AGREE WITH YOU THAT
WE NEED TO HAVE THE CAPACITY
HERE. WE ARE BIG STATE THERE'S
NO REASON WE SHOULDN'T HAVE
THAT CAPACITY WE- DOLLAR SIZE
BIRD INGENUITY HERE AND
ACTUALLY FRANKLY THE LEVEL
SERVICES THAT WE- BELIEVE THAT
SHOULD BE DELIVERED SO- THANK
YOU AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO MOVE
TO BUILD APPROPRIATE TIME.
THANK YOU THANK YOU SIR PAN US
SENATE CONGER. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR I AM. TO WILL BE
SUPPORTING- THIS BILL AND- I
AGREE WITH SENATOR PAM YOU KNOW
I'D- I ALSO SUPPORT A
MORATORIUM I THINK- YOU KNOW
WHAT WE LEARNED- ABOUT OUR OUT
OF STATE PLACEMENTS. INCREDIBLY
EGREGIOUS- AND REALLY SHOULD
NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND I
ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WE ARE
LIABLE FOR THE VIOLATIONS
AGAINST THOSE CHILDREN- AND THE
DEATH YOU KNOW I. I DON'T KNOW
IF I NECESSARILY AGREE THAT THE
LEAST AS RESTRICTIVE AS ALWAYS
THE BEST I THINK WE SHOULD BE
TRYING TO FOCUS ON A SETTINGS
AND PLACEMENTS THAT ARE SAFE
AND THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO THE
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH CHILD.
I THINK WE'VE SORT OF GOTTEN
AWAY FROM FOSTER CARE JUST LIKE
WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY FROM OUR
HOMELESSNESS BECAUSE WE PUT ALL
OF THESE FOLKS IN A BUCKET
THINKING THAT- THERE'S A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH THE
BIGGER THE NUMBER YOU KNOW THE
MORE THE MONEY THE MORE THE
BADS THE PROBLEM WILL BE
SOLVED. WITHOUT REALLY
RECOGNIZING THAT- EACH PERSON.
HAS INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
INDIVIDUAL TRIGGERS AND NEEDS
AN INDIVIDUALIZED AND
CUSTOMIZED RESPONSE THAT IS
CONSISTENT- IN ORDER TO HELP
THEM THROUGH WHATEVER THE
CRISES IT IS THAT THEY HAVE.
AND I KNOW AS THE STATE EVEN AS
COUNTIES AND CITIES WERE
LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS THAT ARE
SCALABLE WITHOUT NECESSARILY
FOCUSING ON WHAT'S GOING TO BE
SUCCESSFUL FOR THAT PARTICULAR
PERSON. I RESPECT THE FACT THAT
THERE'S THOUGHTFULNESS TO THIS
AND I RESPECT THE FACT FACT
THAT. YOU'RE SAYING IT IS
COMPLEX THIS IS COMPLICATED AND
IT IS COMPLEX. AND TO COME UP
WITH SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO
BE PERFECT RIGHT NOW. IF
SOMEONE SAID THAT I WOULD LOOK
AT THEM AND CROSS MY EYES- WE
SHOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT
DEVELOPING SOMETHING THAT'S
PERFECT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE
SO I ACTUALLY SEE THIS AS- PART
OF THE BUILDING BLOCKS TO HOW
WE RE ENGINEER A SYSTEM. THAT
WORKS FOR ALL OF THE YOUNG
PEOPLE THAT WILL BE IN IT
RECOGNIZING THAT TAKES TIME
RECOGNIZING THERE PROBABLY WILL
BE SOME FALSE STARTS BUT THAT
IS WHEN YOU KNOW. THAT YOU ARE
WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING THAT
WILL BE GOOD. BECAUSE YOU HAVE
KICKED THE TIRES YOU HAVE
BROUGHT IN STAKEHOLDERS YOU ARE
ADDRESSING THE SLIPS AND THE
FAILURES IN THE SETBACKS AND
YOU ARE REALLY WORKING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN CREATE A
LARGE SYSTEM. THAT SERVES
INDIVIDUAL KIDS IN A WAY THAT
MEETS THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS SO
I SUPPORT THIS AND RECOGNIZE
THROUGH YOUR- PRESENTATION. HOW
DIFFICULT THIS HAS BEEN AND
JUST WANT TO SALUTE YOU FOR IT-
AND I TO WILL BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL. THANK YOU THANK YOU- SO
WHAT DO WE HAVE A MOTION AND
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE

AFTERNOON SENATORS MY NAME IS
MERRY CHRISTMAS JOHNNY AND I AM
FORMALLY. UNDOCUMENTED FOLKS
USE I WAS BORN IN MEXICO AND
WAS BROUGHT TO THE UNITED
STATES WHEN I WAS ABOUT FIVE OR
SIX YEARS OLD. I ENJOY THE
FUNKY CARE WHAT OUR FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN DUE
TO CONCERNS OF THE COLLECTOR. I
REMEMBER BEFORE I WAS IN THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM I WANTED TO
HAVE A JOB BUT I FOUND OUT I
NEEDED A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
TO WORK. AND THAT I DIDN'T
CATCH IT WAS ONLY THEN THAT I
REALIZED. I WAS VERY.
UNDOCUMENTED PERSON A LITTLE
AFTER I ENTER FOSTER CARE MY
COUNTY SOCIAL WORKER CONNECTED
ME WITH SOMEONE WHO HELPED ME
OBTAIN A SPECIAL IMMIGRANT
JUVENILE PIZZA AND MY GREEN
CARD. I REMEMBER FEELING REALLY
HAPPY AND REALLY WHEN I GOT MY
GREEN CARD BECAUSE I KNEW HOW
MUCH A PERSON WITH NO SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER AND LOW
IMMIGRATION STATUS IN THE
COUNTRY STRUGGLES. TO MOVE OVER.
THEIR HEAD OR MOVE OUT OF
POVERTY. RIGHT NOW MAYBE THE
CARD EMIGRATE CARD. I GOT MY
FIRST JOB. IN I WILL WHICH
COULD MY FOR CAR. I HAD DEAL
BETWEEN TO REAP. AND CAN
POSSIBILITIES AND SILICON WORKS.
AND THEN I BILL I WANTED TO
LEAVE A TEAM OF PEOPLE TODAY I
EXPLORE DIFFERENT. OF AND
OPTION THAT I KNOW WOULD HAVE
ACCESS TO. WITHOUT A GREEN CARD
INCLUDING MY CURRENT GOAL OF
BECOMING A DETECTIVE- NONE OF
THESE BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T HAVE
THE TIME. TWELVE FOR MAKING
pCARD AND THE DOORS OPENED. I AM
EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TURN THE
CHALLENGING EXPERIENCES OF MY
YOU INTO SOMETHING GREAT. MY
SUCCESS STORY SHOULD BE ONLY
ONE OF MANY. IT IS MY HOPE THAT
A DOCUMENT TO YOU IN THE POCKET
CARE SYSTEM ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE
THE HELP I RECEIVED. SO THEY
TOO CAN OBTAIN IMMIGRATION
STATUS THEY QUALIFY FOR. AB
EIGHT NINE WOULD HELP ENSURE
FALSE YOU ARE LINKED TO THE
ASSISTANCE THEY NEED TO OBTAIN
IMMIGRATION STATUS AND
TRANSITION FOR COSTLY OUT OF
POCKET CHRIS THAT THEM. BECAUSE
OF THIS I'M HERE BECAUSE WE'RE.
GOING TO BILLS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TO. NOW WE
ARE MOVING ON LEAD WHAT THE
NUMBER TWO AT. A WHITE. MY NAME
IS KERRY WHITE AND I'M AN
IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY WITH
CHILDREN FOX HUNTER CALIFORNIA.
HILTY OF THE NONPROFIT LEGAL
SERVICES ORGANIZATION THAT
SERVES AS THE VOICE IN THE
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM FOR
DEPENDENT CHILDREN AND GET. OUR
TRAINS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL
STAFF REPRESENT OVER THIRTY
EIGHT THOUSAND ABUSED AND
NEGLECTED CILDREN IN THE LOS
ANGELES SACRAMENTO AND PLASTER
COUNTY FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. IN
ADDITION TO APPEARING ON BEHALF
OF CLIENTS AND DATED A
DEPENDENCY PROCEEDINGS. GLC
PROVIDES REPRESENTATION AND A
HOST OF RELATED HEARING THE
CHECK TO ENSURE THE WELL BEING
AND FUTURE SUCCESS OF EACH
CHILD. WE THINK IT'S SIMPLY
MEMBER LEVINE FOR AUTHORING
THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
WHICH WILL ENSURE THERE ARE
PROCESSES IN PLACE TO PROTECT
UNDOCUMENTED CHILDREN IN FOSTER
CARE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF
UNDOCUMENTED CHILDREN WHO ENTER
THE DEPENDENCY SYSTEM ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR FORMS OF
IMMIGRATION RELIEF. THAT WOULD
PUT THEM ON A PATH TOWARDS
OBTAINING LAWFUL PERMANENT
RESIDENTS ALSO KNOWN AS THE
GREEN CARD. CONGRESS RECOGNIZED
THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES AND
VULNERABILITIES OF UNDOCUMENTED
AUSTRIA. AND IN RESPONSE
CREATED A SPECIFIC FORM OF
IMMIGRATION RELIEF FOR THE FEW.
WHO ARE UNABLE TO REUNIFY WITH
THE PARENT CALLED SPECIAL
IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS.
WHICH IS ITSELF A PATH TOWARDS
BAKUL PERMANENT RESIDENCY. AND
DOCUMENTED CHILDREN WHO LEAVE
THE DEPENDENCY SYSTEM WITHOUT
OBTAINING SPECIAL IMMIGRANT
JUVENILE STATUS OR SOME OTHER
FOR IMMIGRATION RELIEF WILL BE
UNABLE TO LAWFULLY WORK OR
TRANSITION. SUCCESSFULLY TO
ADULTHOOD. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO
REQUIREMENTS IN PLACE TO ENSURE
THAT THE ISSUES ARE IDENTIFIED
AND LINKED WITH IMMIGRATION
LEGAL SERVICE PROVIDERS TO
ASSIST THEM IN OBTAINING THAT
IMMIGRATION REALLY. AS A RESULT
THE LEVEL OF THE SYSTEM FOR YOU
TO RECEIVE ON THEIR IMMIGRATION
MATTER VERY FROM COUNTY TO
COUNTY. EMBOLDEN COUNTY SUCH AS
SACRAMENTO OUR LAWYERS ARE
TYPICALLY THE ONES SEARCHING
FOR IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY OR
NONPROFIT TO REPRESENT OUR
CLIENTS. COMPARISON AND LOS
ANGELES THE CHILD WELFARE
AGENCY CLOSELY WORKS THAT ARE
TRAINED TO IDENTIFY LOCAL
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND PRO
BONO ATTORNEYS WILL PROVIDE
IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES FOR
OUR CLIENTS. WE HAVE ALSO HEARD
ACCOUNTS OF OTHER COUNTIES
WHERE NO IMMIGRATION LEGAL
SERVICES OR IN. ON OTHER
RESULTS YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE
IMMIGRATION RELIEF TO WHICH
THEY ARE ENTITLED AND
EVENTUALLY LEAVE THE FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM WITHOUT IMMIGRATION
STATUS. UNDOCUMENTED CHILDREN
IN THE PENALTY SYSTEM ALREADY
FACE A NUMBER OF HURDLES AT THE
WITH LITTLE TO NO INFORMATION
OR DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THEIR
IMMIGRATION STATUS. EVEN WHEN
THEY MAY BE AND REMOVAL OR
DEPORTATION PROCEEDINGS. EIGHTY
EIGHT TWENTY NINE WILL REQUIRE
THAT COUNTY CHILD WELFARE
AGENCIES HAVE A PROCESS IN
PLACE TO IDENTIFY AND TRACK
UNDOCUMENTED COST YOU THEIR
COUNTY. IT WILL REQUIRE THAT
THE AGENCIES MAKE BEST EFFORTS
TO LINK THE CHILDREN
IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICE
PROVIDERS. AND IF NECESSARY
IDENTIFY ANY GAPS IN SERVICES
AND SUPPORT. ALL OF THESE
MEASURES ARE AIMED AT ENSURING
THAT UNDOCUMENTED AUSTRIAN YOU
NOT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.
ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE
IMMIGRATION RELIEF FOR WHICH
THEY ARE SO FREQUENTLY ELIGIBLE

SURE- FIRST OF ALL- IF. THANK
YOU SO MEMBER FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AND- IN THIS AREA AB
EIGHT NINE CERTAINLY CAME IN
HERE VERY SUPPORTIVE AND I JUST
I WAS TROUBLED. BY SOMETHING
THAT SEEMED TO CONTRADICT WHAT
I READ A LITTLE BIT- IN THE
ANALYSIS I'M WONDERING IF-
THROUGH THE CHAIR OF THE AUTHOR
THE LEAD WITNESS WOULD BE
WILLING TO RESPOND- DURING THE
TESTIMONY. A COUPLE OF TIMES SO
THE WITNESS TALK ABOUT TRACKING
AND IDENTIFYING- IN A LOT OF
THE LANGUAGE IN THE BILL
ANALYSIS REALLY. TO MY COMFORT
GOES THE- WITH SORT OF IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE- YOU
KNOW ANY DATA WOULD BE DE
IDENTIFIED ON. AND IN LANGUAGE
SUCH AS THAT- REALLY MAKING IT-
SORT OF THE HELLO IS A
PERMISSIVE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE
INITIALLY WHEN I READ THE SAID
THE BILL WAS ESSENTIALLY TRYING
TO SAY- WHEN THAT INFORMATION
IS AVAILABLE TO THE AND I'M
SPEAKING TO THE COUNTY
PARTICULARLY AS OPPOSED TO
COMMITTEE BASE AGENCIES- WHEN
THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE-
THAT- THE COUNTY WOULD DO THE
REFERRAL MAKE SURE TO DO THE
REFERRAL THE IMMIGRANT
SERVICES. SOME LITTLE CONCERN I
KNOW IN IN MY HOME COUNTY SANTA
CLARA COUNTY- A KEEPING
REGISTRIES ON STATUS- RACE-
CREED BORGEN BAND- IN I JUST
WONDER WHAT THE BILL WOULD DO
IN TERMS OF SUPERSEDING ARE
TEMPTING HIM MANDATE THAT YOU
TO REGISTRIES OF AGAIN COULD
NOT UNDERSTAND THE PUBLIC
RECORDS ISSUES- IN IN A COUNTY
THAT IF THE LITERALLY.
IDENTIFIED AND TRACKED IT WOULD
IT WOULD SEEM TO MEAN THAT THE
INQUIRE AS TO STATUS AND THEN
KEEP A REGISTRY AVAILABLE OR
SOME KIND OF TRACKING DEVICE
WHICH WOULD BE ORDINARILY A
PUBLIC RECORD- IN THE COURSE.
IN MY COUNTY- THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF CONFLICT WITH WITH ICE
AND FEDERAL AGENCIES IN TERMS
OF KEEPING THAT CAN INFORMATION-
YOU KNOW OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THOSE SAID- INTERESTED IN IN
DETAINEES- IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
ADDRESS OUR COMMITTED SO THAT'S
A LONG QUESTION I'M JUST REALLY
INTERESTED IN. WHERE THE BILL'S
GOING IN TERMS OF MANDATING
THAT IDENTIFICATION VERSUS. A
NON MANDATED OR IDENTIFYING
VERSES I THINK THE LANGUAGE- IN
MY PACKET HERE SAYS THE ITEM
YEAH THANK YOU FOR YOUR
QUESTION SENATOR AND THIS IS
BEEN. EVER SINCE I AUTHORED AB
NINE HUNDRED SOMETHING THAT I
STRUGGLED WITH BECAUSE I
RECALL. LEARNING FROM ONE OF
THE LEGAL AID CENTERS THAT THE
VERY FIRST ASSIDUOUS YOUTH WAS
PROTECTED UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED
AND TODD I WAS GOING TO BE IN
LOS ANGELES AND I MADE A POINT
TO GO AND VISIT NO E. THE YOUNG
MAN- BECAUSE I WANTED TO MEET
SOMEONEWHO IS IMPACTED BY THIS
BILL AND GET TO KNOW HIM IN AND
LEARN HIS STORY AND- I FELT
LIKE I GAINED SO MUCH
PERSPECTIVE. ABOUT WHY HE CAME
TO CALIFORNIA AND WHAT WHAT HE
WAS RUNNING FROM AND- HOW YOU
KNOW HOW HIS FAMILY HAD TREATED
HIM BEFORE HE HE MADE THAT
JOURNEY. AND- AND WE YOU KNOW
AT. I WOULD GO INTO A HOW MANY
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HELPED
BY THIS BILL AND- AND WE DIDN'T
KNOW WE HAD NO IDEA WE DIDN'T
TRACK IT THOSE WHO GO AND APPLY
FOR SUGGESTS THERE IS NO WAY TO
COLLECT THAT DATA I'M EVEN THIS
BILL DOESN'T REALLY DO THAT.
BUT WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS IF I
COUNTY KNOWS- AND LEARNS THAT
SOMEONE IS- UNDOCUMENTED THAT
DATE AND MAKE THE CONNECTION TO
LEGAL REPRESENTATION- THE
TRACKING IS FOR. WHAT I HOPE IS
GOING TO BUDGETARY PURPOSES IN
THE FUTURE SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY PEOPLE NEED THE SUPPORT-
AND WE CAN'T BUDGET FOR IT
AFFECTIVELY AND SO THE WAY THAT
WE'VE AND THIS BILL REALLY
STARTED OUT AS A FUNDING
MECHANISM BILL AND IT CAME CAME
DOWN TO A DATA BILL SO WHILE
THE COUNTIES MAKERS PERSONAL
CONNECTIONS FOR LEGAL SERVICES
FOR THE UNDOCUMENTED
UNDOCUMENTED YOUTH. THE DATA
THAT IS COLLECTED AND IS DE
IDENTIFIED IS TO UNDERSTAND HOW
MANY YOUTH- MAY NEED TO BE THAT
MAY NEED TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF
THE SERVICES- AND HOW MANY OF
THEM ARE ACTUALLY GETTING THE
SERVICES SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND
COSTS AND PERHAPS FUTURE-
LEGAL- BUDGETARY MEASURES. THE
APPRECIATE THAT I'M- I AM-
BECAUSE SOME WORRIED AND I'M
NOT TRYING THIS PUT HAIRS HERE
BUT IT IS IMPORTANT- WHEN IT
COMES TO THE DAY TO DAY.
REDUCTION OF THE DATA THAT TO
DE IDENTIFY. ALMOST IMPLIES
THAT YOU INITIALLY IDENTIFIED
RIGHT AND- IT IS VERY HARD TO
UNRING THAT BELL AS YOU AS WE
ALL KNOW HERE UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC RECORDS ACT
OF WOOD COUNTY ASSEMBLES A
LIST. AND THEN FORWARD IT TO
THE STATE WITHOUT NAMES AND-
IDENTIFYING INFORMATION THE
ORIGINAL IDENTIFICATION IS
STILL THERE SOMEWHERE IS
SUBJECT TO- YOU KNOW A RECORDS
REQUEST WHICH- AGAIN HAS BEEN.
RELEASED I CAN ONLY SPEAK. TO
MY HOME COUNTY HAS BEEN
EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC IN TERMS
OF- PROTECTING THOSE
INDIVIDUALS FROM. ENFORCEMENT
ACTIVITIES UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES SO- I APPRECIATE
THE WITH THE RESPONSE FROM ALL.
THE SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY AND
KEEP. A STUDYING HERE TO SEE
IF- I'M SATISFIED YOU KNOW
FURTHER AS IT AS IT MOVES
ALONG- BUT IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE
IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE BILL
WOULD NEED TO. FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE WOULD NEED TO-
EXEMPT THE DATA THAT'S BEING
GATHERED FROM THE C. P. R. A.
YOU KNOW TO MAKE SURE THAT-
CARRIES DID NOT HAVE TO GIVE
THAT INFORMATION UP- YOU KNOW
TO THOSE WHO WERE OR TRYING FOR
OTHER PURPOSES TO. TO TRACK.
IDENTIFY IN SOME CASES PURSUE
YOU KNOW THE UNDOCUMENTED SO
THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S MY
CONCERN AND I WILL I CAN FOLLOW
UP WITH YOU AS FAR AS YOUR
MINOR NINE AGAIN- I WANT TO
REITERATE HER SUPPORT OF. THE
WORK IN THE ATTACK BUT I'M
SENSITIVE TO IT THAT THE OTHER
BILL I HAVE UP RIGHT NOW IS A
DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION
LEGISLATION INTRODUCED SO I'M
VERY SENSE OF THE POINT THAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT AS FAR
AS KEEPING INFORMATION. IN YEAH
MY VOTE TODAY BECAUSE I. KNOW
THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE WORKING. ON
UNDERSTAND THE INTENT OF THE
BILL THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SAN CRITTERS THE ANSWER PAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK
YOU CENTER LIVING FOR BRING
THIS BILL FORD- CERTAINLY WE
WANT ARE UNDOCUMENTED- FIRST
USED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS
TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED-
THAT MIGHT ALLOW THEM TO
ACTUALLY CONTINUE TO BE AN-
STANDS COUNTRY- IT'S
APPROPRIATE SO I GUESS THAT
COUPLE QUESTIONS WELL THE SORT
TOGETHER SO IT SAYS BEST
EFFORTS SO I GUESS MY QUESTION
IS WHAT DEFINES BEST EFFORT.
AND THEN SECONDARILY RELATED TO
THAT IS YOU KNOW WE FUNDED IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ACTUALLY THROUGH THE FARM
SOCIAL SERVICES A PROGRAM ON
CALIFORNIA PROVIDE ACTUALLY
STATE FUNDED IMMIGRATION-
ADVISER OR LEGAL COUNSEL SO- IS
THE ERROR I THOUGHT ABOUT-
INSTRUCTING ACTUALLY AGAIN
THESE FOSTER USER EASY TO AND
COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS
RIGHT- THAT- THAT THAT THAT
MINIMUM- IF THERE ISN'T A LOCAL
IMMIGRATION SERVICE THEY CAN
MAKE A FOR ALL TO THAT THERE'S
OF THESE REFERRAL PERHAPS OF
THE STATE ONE CALIFORNIA
PROGRAM- SO AS FAR THEIR BEST
EFFORTS SO I GUESS- THAT THAT'S
MY QUESTION WHAT'S BEST EFFORT
AND- IS THIS PERHAPS. MAYBE
ARTICULATING DATA WHETHER THE
LEGISLATION SOME DIRECTION SO
THAT SO THAT SO THAT WE CAN BE
MORE SURE TO THAT- FOSTER YOU
STUDIES ON SECOND THOUGHT SHE'D
ACTUALLY GET ACCESS TO.
IMMIGRATION COUNSEL YEAH I MEAN
THIS IS FAR FROM A MANDATE THAT
THEY HAVE TO DO ANYTHING BUT I
THINK THAT THE BEST EFFORTS IS
REFLECTIVE OF ONE THAT THEY MAY
OR MAY NOT KNOW THE STATUS AND
THEN TO OF COURSE WHETHER OR
NOT THERE IS A LEGAL AID-
ORGANIZATION OR FUNDING
AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE
SERVICES AND THE POINT TO THE
BILL IS LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT
THIS POPULATION IS LIKE THAT WE
CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT POSSIBLE-
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FLEEING
ABUSE ABANDONMENT NEGLECT. TO
BE SAFE SEEK ASYLUM IN
CALIFORNIA AS SO MANY HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO- WHEN THOSE RESOURCES
HAVE BEEN THERE AND WHEN
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE. TO IDENTIFY-
THE STATUS- THANK YOU I
CERTAINLY. THE THIS FIRST OF
ALL. THE FOURTEENTH MAY THE
NECESSARY TO REVEAL SO THAT
THAT'S- BUT ALSO I THINK ON THE
SOCIAL SERVICE SIDE- THAT
ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE ALSO
FUNDING. NOT TO SAY THAT WE CAN
PERHAPS GIVE MORE MONEY BUT-
IMMIGRATION COUNSEL. EVEN IF
THERE WASN'T LOCAL AVAILABLE
ABILITY TO- AT LEAST THERE
MIGHT BE ANOTHER CHANNEL THAT
THEY COULD. DIE ACCESS- THROUGH
BEST EFFORTS. I ALSO JUST STEP
BEFORE I CONCLUDE IS- I DID
MAKE NOTE THAT THE WITNESS WHO
TESTIFIED MENTION MY COUNTY
SACRAMENTO COUNTY IS NOT BE
PARTICULARLY HELPFUL SO I LOOK
FOR THE FOLLOWING UP. WITH THAT
WITNESS ON THAT WE SHOULD DO
BETTER HERE IN SACRAMENTO
COUNTY. AND WITH THAT- I
CERTAINLY I'D BE HAPPY TO MOVE
YOUR BILL. TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU A SENATOR PAN AND AT

ADOPTED ITS FIRST EVER ACTION
PLAN FOR PREVENTING AND ENDING
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA THE
ACTION PLAN PROVIDES THE
DETAILS ON HOW THE HOMELESS
COUNCIL WILL ACHIEVE ITS GOALS.
THIS PLAN COMES AT A CRITICAL
TIME AS THE BIDEN HARRIS
ADMINISTRATION IS BEGINNING TO
FOCUS ON THE ISSUE OF
HOMELESSNESS AS SUCH THE STATE
MUST ENSURE PROPER AND
EFFICIENT COORDINATION AMONG
STATE AGENCIES DEPARTMENTS AND
OTHER RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS.
OTHER STATES IN THE COUNTRY
HAVE SIMILAR COUNCIL STRUCTURES
SO THIS IS A STANDARD MODEL.
THIS LEGISLATURE HAS DEDICATED
SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES TO COMBAT
HOMELESSNESS WHILE STATE
FUNDING PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
HOMELESSNESS FUNDING ALONE WILL
NOT SOLVE SYSTEMIC ISSUES. WE
MUST ENSURE THAT THE COUNCIL IS
COMPROMISE OF STATE LEADERS AND
DEPARTMENT HEADS WHO ARE BEST
EQUIPPED TO EFFECTIVELY
COORDINATE AND RESPOND TO
HOMELESSNESS. TODAY TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL I HAVE
SHARON REPORT DIRECTOR OF THE
CORPORATION FOR SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING. THANK YOU SO MUCH OF
CENTER RIVAS A LOTTERY PLEASE
BRING ON TO THE LINER- THE MAIN
WITNESS- SHARON REPORT TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF AB TWELVE
TWENTY I BELIEVE YOU THREE

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING A SUPPORTER
OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER DEFENSE AT
TWELVE TWENTY. BATES THROUGHOUT
THE NATION HAVE CREATED
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON
HOMELESSNESS TO COORDINATE THE
ACTIVITIES OF DEPARTMENTS AND
AGENCIES IMPACTING ON MARTHA.
IN FEBRUARY OUR STATE AUDITOR
STATED AT LEAST NINE STATE
AGENCIES ADMINISTER AND OVERSEE
FORTY ONE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
THAT PROVIDE FUNDING FOR
PURPOSES RELATED TO
HOMELESSNESS. IT DRASTIC
DISJOINTED FRAGMENTED NATURE OF
THE STATE'S RESPONSE TO
HOMELESSNESS THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED AND GOVERNOR BROWN
SIGNED SB THIRTEEN EIGHTY TO
CREATE THE HOMER COORDINATING
AND FINANCING COUNCIL. AS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER RIVAS SAID THE
COORDINATING COUNCIL RECENTLY
ADOPTED AN ACTION PLAN TO
FOSTER STRONGER COOPERATION
BETWEEN THE AGENCIES AND
DEPARTMENTS. AB TWELVE TWENTY
WOULD STRENGTHEN THE COUNCIL'S
MECCA IT REFORM THE COUNCIL TO
FOLLOW THE MODELS AT THE U. S.
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON
HOMELESSNESS AND OTHER MODEL
STATE HEAD OF- OPERATED ACTIVE
H. INTERAGENCY COUNCIL. THE
FIRM MUNGER CHANGES WOULD BE TO
ENSURE REPRESENTATIVES OF
DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WERE
PROFICIENT MAKING AUTHORITY ARE
SITTING ON THE COUNCIL NOT JUST
TO UPDATE COUNCIL MEMBER
AGENCIES ON STATE WORK BETTER
HOLD HONEST CONVERSATIONS ON
PATHWAYS THE SOLUTION. WE ARE
HOPEFUL THESE CHANGES COULD
LEAD TO COLLABORATION THAT WILL
REDUCE DISCHARGES FROM STATE
FUNDED INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS
AND THE HOMEOWNER. AND STRONG
RECORDED COORDINATION OF STATE
RESOURCES. I APPRECIATE

FILED FOR YOU BEING THAT WE
WERE ABLE TO HELP HER GET STATE
FUNDED CAL WORKS FOR HERSELF
ABOUT A HUNDRED DOLLARS A
MONTH. AND WHEN SHE THANKED US
SHE EXPLAINED SHE WAS SO
GRATEFUL BECAUSE SHE'D BEEN
ABOUT TO DROP A RESTRAINING
ORDER AGAINST HER ABUSER
BECAUSE HE HAD PROMISED AN
EXTRA HUNDRED DOLLARS IN CHILD
SUPPORT EACH MONTH AND SHE
DESPERATELY NEEDED THAT MONEY
TO MAKE ENDS MEET. WITH THAT
LITTLE EXTRA BIT OF TOWERS SHE
COULD AFFORD TO KEEP THE
PROTECTIVE ORDER IN PLACE. I
THOUGHT OF THE THREE. WHEN THEY
LEGAL WORK WITH ANOTHER
UNDOCUMENTED SURVIVORS IS
ELIGIBLE FOR A DIFFERENT
IMMIGRATION PATHWAY UNDER THE
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT. AND
ONCE SHE FILED HER VOLATILE
PETITION IT WOULD BE ABOUT FOUR
MONTHS UNTIL SHE WAS ELIGIBLE

FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHAT'S WEBER
