What This Bill Would Do
The California Housing and Homelessness Agency must conduct a study on the needs of pregnant people experiencing homelessness and submit recommendations for a 'PINK Alert' notification system to the Legislature by July 1, 2028. This proposed system would allow nonprofits to receive alerts when a pregnant person requires emergency housing or prenatal services.
