11330.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Stable housing is a fundamental component of self-sufficiency and child well-being.(b) According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, residential stability is a necessary precursor to effectively addressing barriers that inhibit self-sufficiency, and research is clear that children who lack safe and stable housing demonstrate worse academic and social outcomes.(c) Housing support in the CalWORKs program is minimal and families struggle to find and retain safe, affordable, and stable housing.(d) Expanding homeless and housing support in the CalWORKs program would help meet a critical need for families working to achieve self-sufficiency.(Added by Stats. 2014, Ch. 29, Sec. 70. (SB 855) Effective June 20, 2014.)

11331.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the connection between teenage parenting and long-term welfare dependency has been well documented by recent social science research. An estimated 60 percent of teenage parents who are currently receiving welfare will have 10 or more years of dependency on aid. Average time on aid for teenage parents is significantly longer than for parents who begin families at an older age.(b) The Legislature finds that teenage parents who receive assistance under the CalWORKs program have unique education, vocational, training, health, and other social service needs that are not specifically provided for as part of the welfare-to-work activities. Research shows that successful programs that help teenage parents achieve self-sufficiency contain the following features:(1) A comprehensive range of health and social services.(2) Adequate supportive services.(3) A sympathetic and supportive program atmosphere.(4) Individual attention, especially regarding education pace and plan.(5) An open format and an extended period of program availability.(6) Caring, nonjudgmental staff.(7) Strong case management systems, including followup activities to determine whether a student is progressing in his or her studies.(c) The Legislature declares that this article is intended to ensure that the GAIN program does all of the following:(1) Provide the education and training services needed by teenage parents to help them earn a high school diploma or its equivalent, including vocational training and preparation that may be available through local education agencies.(2) Link teenagers to other needed health and social services available in the community.(Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 902, Sec. 40. Effective January 1, 1999. As prescribed in former Section 11334.8, this section (as part of Article 3.5) resumed full operation on April 1, 2013, after a period of inoperation or limited operation. Note: Former Section 11334.8 was last amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 439, before its repeal on April 1, 2013.)
