Summary

The law expands the existing county‑only program so that any city classified as a local health jurisdiction – and specifically the City of Oakland – can set up a homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel team. The teams may include mental‑health workers, police, legal counsel, medical staff, social workers, case managers, veterans counselors, domestic‑violence advocates, educators and housing providers, and they can exchange confidential information to coordinate care. By requiring written protocols, privacy safeguards and public posting, the bill aims to improve coordination while protecting client privacy.
