Section § 10530

Explanation
这条法律规定旨在确保加州的各个县不会重复已经做过的规划工作。相反,当它们制定与就业、经济发展以及家庭和儿童服务相关的计划时,应该利用现有的计划。这包括使用过去的计划,例如县GAIN计划、经济发展计划,特别是与CalWORKs(一项福利计划)相关的计划。

Section § 10531

Explanation

加州的各县必须根据州法律的要求,制定并更新计划,以帮助CalWORKs受助人从福利转向工作。这些计划应说明各县将如何与公共和私人机构合作,提供必要的培训、支持服务和就业机会。计划必须列出药物滥用治疗、心理健康支持、儿童保育、交通以及对家庭暴力受害者的支持等服务。

此外,各县还需要描述其了解当地就业市场需求的策略、将提供的福利转工作活动的类型,以及如何确保社区参与规划过程。计划必须明确绩效目标、预算细节以及支持脱离援助家庭的策略。遵守联邦临时贫困家庭援助(TANF)计划的要求以及与地方行业委员会的协调也至关重要。
