Welfare and Institutions Code Section 17000 requires counties to relieve and support indigent persons who are lawful residents of the County. Welfare and Institutions Code 17001 requires each Board of Supervisors to adopt standards of aid and care for the indigent and poor of the County. The County of Yolo has adopted standards of care, and this agreement supports those standards by providing the following services for homeless General Assistance recipients referred by the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA): shelter, meals, cleaning and hygiene items, case management, employment training, and housing support. HHSA finds there is a need to provide increased services at this time.
