Homeless multidisciplinary personnel teams.

Existing law authorizes a county to establish a homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel team, as defined, with the goal of facilitating the expedited identification, assessment, and linkage of homeless individuals to housing and supportive services within that county and to allow provider agencies to share confidential information for the purpose of coordinating housing and supportive services to ensure continuity of care. Existing law requires that the sharing of information permitted under these provisions be governed by protocols developed in each county, as specified, and requires each county to provide a copy of its protocols to the State Department of Social Services.
