California AB2162 allocates funding to county child welfare agencies to assist young adults with housing, prioritizing those formerly in foster care.

California AB2162 amends the Health and Safety Code to allocate funding to county child welfare agencies for housing assistance. The bill prioritizes young adults who were formerly in the state's foster care or probation system.
