Existing law, the California Community Care Facilities Act, requires the State Department of Social Services to license and regulate transitional housing placement providers as a community care facility. A "transitional housing placement provider" is defined as an organization licensed by the department to provide transitional housing to foster children at least 16 years of age and not more than 18 years of age, and nonminor dependents, as defined, to promote their transition to adulthood. Existing law provides for a "Transitional Housing Placement Program" serving foster children at least 16 years of age and not more than 18 years of age, and provides for a "Transitional Housing Placement-Plus Foster Care Program" serving nonminor dependents at least 18 years of age and not more than 21 years of age. Existing law requires transitional housing to include, among others, programs in which a participant lives independently in an apartment, single-family dwelling, or condominium owned or leased by the provider either with an adult employee of the provider or in a building in which one or more adult employees of the provider reside and provide supervision, and programs in which a participant, who is either a minor foster child placed prior to October 1, 2012, or a nonminor dependent, lives independently in an apartment, single-family dwelling, or condominium owned or leased by a provider under the supervision of the provider if the department approves. A violation of the act is a misdemeanor.
