Establishes requirements for agencies providing temporary homes for children and pregnant women in crisis.

The bill mandates that agencies approved by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) facilitate voluntary temporary placements for children, pregnant women, and their parents in crisis. These agencies must conduct home studies, background checks, and criminal history record checks for prospective volunteers and their household members. The approved agencies are responsible for oversight, assistance in restoring stability, and locating alternative placements if necessary.
