2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 6 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS › CHAPTER 5 - The Domestic Violence Shelter-Based Programs Act › Section 18290.

18290. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that there is a present and growing need to develop innovative strategies and services to ameliorate and reduce the trauma of domestic violence. There are hundreds of thousands of persons in California who are regularly abused. In many cases, the acts of domestic violence lead to the death of one of the involved parties. Victims of domestic violence come from all socioeconomic classes and ethnic groups, though it is the poor who suffer most from domestic violence, since they have no immediate access to private counseling and shelter for themselves and their children. Children, even when they are not physically assaulted, very often suffer deep and lasting emotional effects.
The Legislature further finds and declares that there is a high incidence of death and injury sustained by law enforcement officers in the handling of domestic disturbances. Police arrests for domestic violence are low, and victims are reluctant to press charges or make citizen’s arrests. Furthermore, instances of domestic violence are considered to be the single most unreported crime in the state.
It is the intent of the Legislature to begin to explore and determine ways of achieving reductions in serious and fatal injuries to the victims of domestic violence and begin to clarify the problems, causes, and cures of domestic violence. In order to achieve these results, it is the intent of the Legislature that the state shall support projects in several areas throughout the state for the purpose of aiding victims of domestic violence by providing them a place to escape the destructive environment in an undisclosed and secured location, on a 24-hour basis, where staff meet the requirements set forth in Section 1037.1 of the Evidence Code.
It is further the intent of the Legislature to resolve conflicting interpretations as to whether county boards of supervisors have discretionary authority to fund nonshelter-based county domestic violence programs that lack any emergency or transitional shelter component, by restricting funding under this chapter to shelter-based domestic violence programs, as described in Sections 18294 and 18295. These clarifying and conforming changes are intended to be declaratory of existing law.

2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 6 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS › CHAPTER 5.7 - Nutrition Program for the Elderly › Section 18331.1.

18331.1. Notwithstanding the limitations of Section 18331 of this code, the director is empowered to allocate money from the Nutrition Reserve Fund in order to implement the Nutrition and Volunteer Services Program for Senior Citizens for the calendar year commencing January 1, 1981.

2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 6 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS › CHAPTER 5.7 - Nutrition Program for the Elderly › Section 18332.

18332. (a) All allocations from the Nutrition Reserve Fund shall be approved by the Director of Finance prior to issuance.
(b) The funds shall be used to maintain existing nutrition services when it is determined that no federal funds are available for this purpose. To the extent funds are available in the initial appropriation under Chapter 1189 of the Statutes of 1979, Nutrition Reserve Fund moneys may be used for increased cost per meal resulting from inflation and increased number of participants in existing projects resulting from the fact that inflation is causing more seniors on fixed incomes to fall below the poverty level.
(c) When appropriated by the Legislature, the Nutrition Reserve Fund, not to exceed an aggregate total of one million dollars ($1,000,000), may be used to extend or implement innovative nutrition demonstration projects.
(d) In addition, one million dollars ($1,000,000) of the fund shall constitute a revolving loan account from which the Department of Aging may extend loans, without interest, not to exceed three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) per loan to be repaid from yearend balances in any senior nutrition project.
(e) In order to qualify for funds from the Nutrition Reserve Fund a nutrition project shall be required to seek from the community in which it is located, a matching grant in the amount equal to 5 percent of the requested allocation. The matching grant may be in the form of in-kind services, unless these services are presently being used as the basis for a matching grant for the project. In addition, if all other alternatives are exhausted to meet the 5-percent federal matching requirement required in PL 95-478, the Department of Aging may allocate funds from the Nutrition Reserve Fund as are necessary to meet this 5-percent match requirement. These funds may be used to maintain existing services, one-time major expenditures or to expand services to fulfill unmet needs. Thirty days prior to allocating funds from the Nutrition Reserve Fund for the purpose of meeting the 5-percent federal matching requirement, the Department of Aging shall advise the Assembly Committee on Aging, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the fiscal committees in both houses of its plan for these allocations.
(f) When a nutrition project receives an allocation of funds from the Nutrition Reserve Fund due to the presence of fiscal difficulties, the Department of Aging shall, in conjunction with the applicable local area agency on aging and the nutrition project receiving these funds, take immediate action to determine the reason for the project’s fiscal difficulties.

2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 6 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS › CHAPTER 5.7 - Nutrition Program for the Elderly › Section 18333.

18333. (a) The Nutrition Reserve Fund shall also be used for the purpose of making loans to maintain existing levels of supportive services provided pursuant to Section 3030d of Title 42 of the United States Code, in order to compensate for cuts in federal funds for those services for the 1989–90 state fiscal year.
(b) The loans shall be repaid with one-time-only funds as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 9315, or with federal funds received in the fourth quarter of the 1989–90 federal fiscal year.

18335. Notwithstanding any other provision of law:
(a) Retired firemen may be utilized to conduct fire inspections of the sites of nutrition projects for senior citizens in order to determine whether such sites are in compliance with state and local fire safety standards.
(b) Retired licensed sanitarians may be utilized to conduct sanitation inspections of sites of nutrition projects for senior citizens in order to determine whether such sites are in compliance with applicable state and local sanitation standards.
Such retirees may contract with local area agencies on aging or nutrition projects to perform the required inspections as independent contractors. Fees for the undertaking of such inspections shall be paid out of federal funds allocated to local area agencies on aging which are provided by Title III of the Older Americans Act.
A written report of the findings of such fire safety and sanitation inspections shall be furnished to the appropriate area agency on aging or the director of the nutrition project in which sites inspected are located.
A report of uncorrected fire safety deficiencies, after a followup inspection, shall be supplied or mailed to the local fire protection agency.
A report of uncorrected sanitation deficiencies, after a followup inspection, shall be supplied or mailed to the local health agency.
It is the intent of this section that inspections carried out pursuant hereto shall satisfy federal regulations which provide that sites for nutrition projects for senior citizens must meet applicable state and local fire sanitation standards.
