(a)Cities, counties, and continuums of care receiving state funding to address homelessness on or after January 1, 2024, shall include families, including women with children; people fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence; and unaccompanied women within the vulnerable populations for whom specific system supports are developed to maintain homeless services and housing delivery.

(b)Cities, counties, and continuums of care receiving state

funding to address homelessness on or after January 1, 2024, shall develop analyses and goals with victim service providers to address the specific needs of the population described in subdivision (a) with data measures not included within the Homeless Management Information System, in accordance with federal policies and all of the following guidelines:

(1)Any local landscape analysis that assesses the current number of people experiencing homelessness and existing programs that address homelessness within the jurisdiction shall incorporate aggregate data from victim service providers, along with any other data sources.

(2)The analyses and goals shall ensure the responses to family homelessness include victim service providers, as these organizations

consistently provide shelter and housing responses to survivors and their children.

(3)The analyses and goals shall address the nexus of homelessness and justice-involvement, particularly for women and survivors of domestic violence.

(4)The analyses and goals shall disaggregate the number of beds provided by victim service providers in the city, county, or region served by a continuum of care.

(c)(1) Cities, counties, and continuums of care that develop analyses and goals pursuant to subdivision (b) shall provide that information to the Interagency Council on Homelessness.

(2)The Interagency Council on Homelessness shall post the information developed by cities, counties, and continuums of care pursuant to subdivision (b) on its internet website.
