Title: CalWORKs: childcare programs.
Author: Pilar Schiavo

Summary
AB 2343, as introduced, Schiavo. CalWORKs: childcare programs. Existing federal law provides for allocation of federal funds through the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program to eligible states. Existing law provides for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program, under which, through a combination of state and county funds and federal funds received through the TANF program, each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families. Existing law provides for state-subsidized childcare programs and childcare for recipients of benefits under the CalWORKs program and establishes 3 stages of childcare services managed by county welfare departments and agencies contracting with the State Department of Social Services. This bill would authorize an administrator of a childcare program providing services during the first and 2nd stages of childcare to provide additional enhanced support and navigation services to those recipients experiencing homelessness, escaping domestic violence, or both. The bill would also authorize the administrator of a childcare program to partner with specified agencies to provide those services.
