           SUBJECT:   Budget Act of 2016


          SOURCE:    Author

          DIGEST:   This bill makes adjustments to two budget items that  
          provide new resources for homeless programs. The Legislature  
          passed the 2016 Budget Act on June 15, 2016.

          ANALYSIS:  As part of the 2016-17 Budget package, AB 1622 makes  
          changes necessary to implement the Budget Act. This bill: 

          1)Provides the Department of Health Care Services $500,000  
            Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funds from the state  
            administrative cap for additional oversight staff to conduct  
            county program reviews, pursuant to MHSA performance  
            contracts, and work with counties on findings from these  
            reviews and corrective action plans.

          2)Carves out $10 million of the budget appropriation previously  
            made for the California Emergency Solutions Grants Program

                                                                    Page  2


            and, instead, directs it for the expansion of the existing  
            Homeless Youth and Exploitation Program at the Office of  
            Emergency Services. Specifies that the expansion shall  
            include, over five years, new pilot projects in four  
            additional counties: Orange, Fresno, San Bernardino, and El  
            Dorado. 

          3)Carves out $10 million from the current Proposition 41 program  
            and, instead, directs it for loans to counties and/or  
            nonprofit organizations for the construction or rehabilitation  
            of transitional housing or shelter facilities that provide  
            services for homeless veterans. Priority will be given for  
            applicants that demonstrate need and focus on long-term  
            solutions, including mental health and addiction treatment  
            services, as well as having proven long-term effectiveness.
