(d) While living on the streets, these youth fall prey to drug abuse, prostitution, and other illegal activities.

The purpose of this chapter is therefore to maintain one homeless youth emergency project in the County of Los Angeles and one in the City and County of San Francisco, where the problem is most acute, and to the extent funds are appropriated in the Budget Act of 1991, to establish additional homeless youth emergency service pilot projects pursuant to this chapter.

2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 3 - AID AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE › CHAPTER 6.5 - Nonmedical Care Facilities › ARTICLE 2 - Out-of-Home Care › Section 13911.

13911. The director shall, by regulation, establish standards for specialized out-of-home care. The department shall establish rate schedules which include separate rates for room and board, for the specialized care component and for personal and incidental needs.
The director shall develop an overall plan which integrates the system of out-of-home nonmedical care facility services covered by the provision of this chapter with the system of medical care facility services covered by the provisions of Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 14000) of this part. The purpose of such overall plan shall be to maintain an appropriate balance between nonmedical and medical facilities to the end that recipients of public assistance or persons otherwise defined as needy by the provisions of this code are given the care they require at the lowest possible cost.
The plan established by the director pursuant to this section may include the use of an interdisciplinary review process to insure that persons are not placed or retained in medical care facilities when appropriate care can otherwise be provided at lower cost.
Nothing in this article shall be interpreted to preclude any facility licensed under the provisions of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 1250) of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code from providing out-of-home care services, provided such facilities meet the standards established by the provisions of this section.

13912. In the establishment of the rate schedules for out-of-home care, the director shall consider and reflect in the rate schedule annually, in addition to any other factors he deems to be relevant, the availability of such homes in the community, cost of living, appropriateness of the facility, the cost of providing care under the required standards, activity programs required for the maintenance or restoration of function of aged and disabled persons and the cost of differentials of room, board and care required for persons of differing ages and needs.

The room, board, and care allowance established pursuant to this section does not include the personal and incidental needs established pursuant to Section 13921.

13922. The sum of the allowances established in Sections 13920 and 13921 shall not be less than five hundred ten dollars ($510) and shall be the sum for purposes of subdivision (g) of Section 12200. Should such sum result in individuals or members of couples becoming ineligible for categorically needy medical services under Section 14005.1, then the sum shall be reduced separately for individuals to the highest whole dollar amount which will allow all individuals to retain eligibility under Section 14005.1 and for members of couples to the highest whole dollar amount which will allow all members of couples to retain such eligibility.

2023 California Code › Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC › DIVISION 9 - PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES › PART 3 - AID AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE › CHAPTER 7 - Basic Health Care › ARTICLE 1 - General Provisions › Section 14000.

14000. The purpose of this chapter is to afford to qualifying individuals health care and related remedial or preventive services, including related social services that are necessary for those receiving health care under this chapter.
The intent of the Legislature is to provide, to the extent practicable, through the provisions of this chapter, for health care for California residents who lack sufficient income to meet the costs of health care and whose other assets are so limited that their application toward the costs of that care would jeopardize the person or family’s future minimum self-maintenance and security. It is intended that, whenever possible and feasible, all of the following shall apply:
(a) The means employed shall allow, to the extent practicable, eligible persons to secure health care in the same manner employed by the public generally, and without discrimination or segregation based purely on their economic disability. The means employed shall include an emphasis on efforts to arrange and encourage access to health care through enrollment in organized, managed care plans of the type available to the general public.
(b) The benefits available under this chapter shall not duplicate those provided under other federal or state laws or under other contractual or legal entitlements of the person or persons receiving them.
(c) In the administration of this chapter and in establishing the means to be used to provide access to health care to persons eligible under this chapter, the department shall emphasize and take advantage of both the efficient organization and ready accessibility and availability of health care facilities and resources through enrollment in managed health care plans and new and innovative fee-for-service managed health care plan approaches to the delivery of health care services.
This section shall remain in effect only until subdivision (b) of Section 14005.62 is implemented, and as of that date is repealed.
(Amended by Stats. 2022, Ch. 291, Sec. 1. (AB 2727) Effective January 1, 2023. Conditionally repealed by its own provisions. See later operative version added by Sec. 2 of Stats. 2022, Ch. 291.)

14000.03. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1396a(a)(11)(A) of Title 42 of the United States Code provides that California’s state plan for medical assistance under the Medicaid program must “provide for entering into cooperative arrangements with the State agencies responsible for administering or supervising the administration of health services and vocational rehabilitation services in the State looking toward maximum utilization of such services in the provision of medical assistance under the plan.”
(b) In furtherance of Section 1396a(a)(11)(A) of Title 42 of the United States Code and Section 7560 of the Government Code, it is the intent of the Legislature to maximize the amount of federal and state funds continually available under agreements identified in Section 1396a(a)(11)(A) of Title 42 of the United States Code and entered into by the State Department of Health Services by making later-appropriated and budgeted funds immediately encumbered and available for expenditure under agreements by operation of law.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon additional funds being appropriated and budgeted for the support of the services identified within the scope of work of an agreement of the type identified in Section 1396a (a)(11)(A) of Title 42 of the United States Code and previously entered into by the State Department of Health Services, the amount of the encumbrance in such an agreement shall be amended, by operation of law, to reflect the newly appropriated and budgeted funds.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, once an agreement of the type identified in Section 1396a (a)(11)(A) of Title 42 of the United States Code is entered into by the State Department of Health Services, the agreement shall continue in effect indefinitely and need not be amended unless the State Department of Health Services changes the scope of work to be provided under the agreement.
