Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill increases the funding for the Department of Health Services to make grants to independent living centers to provide independent living services to individuals with disabilities. Current law defines an independent living center as a community-based, nonresidential private nonprofit agency operated by individuals with disabilities that provides independent living services to individuals with disabilities. Under current law, DHS makes grants to independent living centers, and independent living centers must provide services to individuals with disabilities, including the following: 1) facilitating the transition of individuals with significant disabilities from institutions to home and community-based residences;

2) providing assistance to individuals with significant disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the individuals may remain in the community; and 3) facilitating the transition of youth who have significant disabilities to postsecondary life.
