Summary

The bill establishes the Tribal Foster Care Prevention Program, giving eligible California Indian tribes annual money to run family‑preservation services. Tribes must sign an agreement with the Department of Social Services, send a yearly letter of interest, and report on the children served. The goal is to lower the high number of Native children in foster care by supporting culturally appropriate prevention work.
