	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 264, as amended, Hagman. Transitional housing.
   Under existing law, in each city and county there is a public
agency known as the housing authority of the city or county.
   This bill would require operators of transitional housing to
notify the city or county and residents within 300 feet of the
property when a transitional housing facility will be established so
that the city or county and residents have specified knowledge about
the transitional housing facility. The bill would exempt certain
domestic violence shelters from this requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

  SECTION 1.  Section 34251 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   34251.  (a) "Transitional housing" as used in this section has the
same meaning as that term is defined in subdivision (i) of Section
50801.
   (b) Any operator of transitional housing shall notify the city or
county, as the case may be, in which it will be located and residents
within 300 feet of the property when a transitional housing facility
is being established so that the city or county and the residents
will have knowledge of the following:
   (1) Where the transitional housing will be located.
   (2) The purpose of the transitional housing facility and what
segment of the population it will serve.
   (3) The name of the transitional housing operator with a point of
contact.
   (4) The state agency that will be responsible for oversight.
   (c) This section shall not apply to domestic violence shelters
that come within the definition of "emergency shelter" set forth in
paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 124250  , any
transitional or semipermanent housing that is operated by a domestic
violence shelter, or housing provided to domestic violence survivors
by a public or private entity  .
   (d) The purpose of this section is to allow the residents to work
problems out directly with the transitional housing operator and the
state agency that regulates the transitional housing facility.
