Web navigation elements (skip to content, home, accessibility, FAQ, feedback, sitemap, login, search boxes) were added as part of the website interface.

A 'Digest Key' metadata block was added showing Vote: MAJORITY, Appropriation: NO, Fiscal Committee: YES, Local Program: YES.

Version history links and publication date (10/13/2025) were added as part of the web interface.

Section 8264(a) changed from 'families, including single women with children' to 'families, including women with children,' removing the word 'single' and broadening the protected population to include all women with children, not just unmarried mothers.

Section 8266(a) removed the standalone phrase 'and among children' from the list of populations for which the Interagency Council must set goals. Children are still covered as part of 'domestic violence survivors and their children,' but they are no longer listed as a separate category.

Section 8266(a) changed 'The California Interagency Council on Homelessness' to 'The Interagency Council on Homelessness,' likely correcting the agency name to match its official designation.

New amendment to Section 8264 of the Welfare and Institutions Code requires cities, counties, and continuums of care receiving state funding to address homelessness on or after January 1, 2024, to include 'families, including single women with children' within vulnerable populations for which specific system supports are developed.

New requirement that cities, counties, and continuums of care develop analyses and goals with victim service providers to address the specific needs of the described population, using data measures not included in the Homeless Management Information System, in accordance with federal policies.

Local landscape analyses must incorporate aggregate data from victim service providers along with other data sources.

Analyses and goals must ensure responses to family homelessness include victim service providers, as these organizations consistently provide shelter and housing responses to survivors and their children.

Analyses and goals must address the nexus of homelessness and justice-involvement, particularly for women and survivors of domestic violence.

Analyses and goals must disaggregate the number of beds provided by victim service providers in the city, county, or region served by a continuum of care.

The standalone legislative intent statement ('It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to housing') was removed from the operative text.

Vote tallies changed from 'no' to 'yes' for appropriation, fiscal committee review, and state-mandated local program, reflecting the new obligations imposed on local agencies through the Section 8264 amendment.

The enrolled bill header (Assembly/Senate passage dates, clerk signatures, blank Governor receipt date) was replaced with the standard chaptered format: 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' and the assigned chapter number 499.

The Governor's approval date (October 10, 2025) and filing date with the Secretary of State were added to the chaptered version.

Page numbering changed from 'AB 790' references to 'Ch. 499' references throughout the document.

Added entirely new Section 50207 to the Health and Safety Code. The bill went from a single intent statement to a full statutory section with definitions, program lists, funding requirements, and compliance obligations.

The bill's title changed from 'An act relating to housing' to 'An act to add Section 50207 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing, and making an appropriation therefor.' The digest now identifies the target population as single women with children and notes the bill involves an appropriation, fiscal committee review, and a state-mandated local program (all previously 'no').

Requires each qualifying program to set aside 10 percent of total available funds specifically for housing and services for single women with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, or who are fleeing domestic violence and lack a safe and stable housing alternative.

Defines 'domestic violence' (cross-referencing Section 124250), 'homeless or at risk of homelessness' (cross-referencing Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15770 and the McKinney-Vento Act as applied to women and children in unstable housing), and 'qualifying program' (listing 12 specific state programs).

Requires any organization receiving funds under the 10 percent set-aside to submit a comprehensive plan to the administering state entity detailing how it will comply with the section's requirements.

Adds a state mandate reimbursement provision (Section 2) requiring the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the bill, as determined by the Commission on State Mandates.
