California AB319 aims to enhance trauma-informed services for foster youth by requiring counties to develop plans for coordinated care.

California AB319 mandates that counties create plans to ensure coordinated, timely, and trauma-informed services for foster youth who have experienced severe trauma. These plans must outline how counties will provide services, including family-based aftercare, and address local and statewide systemic issues. The bill also requires the establishment of a joint interagency resolution team to review placement and service options, develop recommendations, and provide technical assistance to counties.
