Dear Legal Aid Program Executive Directors: Please consider this an official request for representatives from California’s Legal Services Corporations (LSC) funded programs to provide information and input to the California Legislature regarding AB 2369 (Salas). This input can be provided in written and or oral form. AB 2369 protects every person’s right to be safe and free from violence and abuse by improving California’s Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) process. This bill requires the court, after issuing a DVRO, to order a restrained party to pay the prevailing protected party’s attorney’s fees and costs. AB 2369 encourages attorneys to take survivors’ cases, and removes unnecessary hurdles for survivors requesting DVROs. Should your staff share information with my office directly, my office will share the communication with other legislative staff, committee, agencies and the executive branch as appropriate. This invitation is also to share such information orally or written with any member of the relevant committees Judiciary and Appropriations, including their staff. My intention is that this request for information and feedback be encompassing of all legal aid programs in the state, including the LSC-funded programs. I understand that the LSC-funded programs in California are: Bay Area Legal Aid California Indian Legal Services California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. Central California Legal Services Community Legal Aid SoCal Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance Inland County Legal Services Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. Legal Services of Northern California Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles Thank you for providing important information to help us shape this legislation and for your continued work to serve vulnerable Californians.

Millions of Californians every year are touched by the programs we oversee or operate. Out of the imperative to make fully informed decisions, DHCS has created an inclusive culture of regularly soliciting input from numerous perspectives, both formally and informally. For this purpose, DHCS convenes regular stakeholder meetings, engages in informal reviews of all-county letters and similar instructions or communications, and formally promulgates regulations under California’s Administrative Procedures Act or other applicable state laws. Since at least 1998, California’s Legal Services Corporation (LSC)-funded programs always have been, and continue to be, invited to participate in these DHCS-organized engagements. The LSC-funded programs are a valued partner in the appropriate and responsible delivery of services to beneficiaries of the programs and services overseen or operated by DHCS. On behalf of DHCS, I appreciate and continue to invite their participation in these various efforts as they occur. Also, I continue to invite their input directly to me, and any DHCS employee or contractor outside of these efforts in written or oral formats on any topic related to DHCS’ programs and services and whenever else deemed appropriate.

Dear Legal Aid Program Executive Directors: Please consider this an official request for representatives from California’s Legal Services Corporations (LSC) funded programs to provide information and input to the California Legislature regarding AB 2369 (Salas). This input can be provided in written and or oral form. AB 2369 protects every person’s right to be safe and free from violence and abuse by improving California’s Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) process. This bill requires the court, after issuing a DVRO, to order a restrained party to pay the prevailing protected party’s attorney’s fees and costs. AB 2369 encourages attorneys to take survivors’ cases, and removes unnecessary hurdles for survivors requesting DVROs. Should your staff share information with my office directly, my office will share the communication with other legislative staff, committee, agencies and the executive branch as appropriate. This invitation is also to share such information orally or written with any member of the relevant committees Judiciary and Appropriations, including their staff. My intention is that this request for information and feedback be encompassing of all legal aid programs in the state, including the LSC-funded programs. I understand that the LSC-funded programs in California are: Bay Area Legal Aid California Indian Legal Services California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. Central California Legal Services Community Legal Aid SoCal Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance Inland County Legal Services Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc.

Millions of Californians every year are touched by the programs we oversee or operate, which include, but are not limited to, the programs listed on the attachment to this letter. Out of the imperative to make fully informed decisions, the CDSS has created an inclusive culture of regularly soliciting input from numerous perspectives, both formally and informally. For this purpose, the CDSS hosts various meetings as needed, convenes periodic stakeholder meetings, engages in informal reviews of all-county letters and similar instructions or communications, and formally promulgates regulations under California’s Administrative Procedures Act or other applicable state law. Since at least 1998, California’s Legal Services Corporation (LSC)-funded programs always have been, and continue to be, invited to participate in these CDSS-organized engagements. The LSC-funded programs are a valued partner in the appropriate and responsible delivery of services to beneficiaries of the programs and services overseen or operated by the CDSS. The Department appreciates and continues to invite their participation in these various efforts as they occur, and similarly continues to invite their input outside of these efforts as well, when LSC-funded programs deem it appropriate. Questions regarding this letter can be directed to me, at (916) 657-2598. Sincerely, PETE CERVINKA Chief Deputy Director [bookmark: _GoBack] Attachment Non-Exclusive List of COSS Programs and Services California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs, California’s federal Temporary Aid for Needy Families program) CalFresh (California’s federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program) Refugee programs Subsidized child care Statewide Automated Welfare Systems (SAWS) and Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) systems Children and Family Services (including prevention, intervention, in- and out-of home placement, reunification and other permanency options, and transitional planning and housing, all for children and youth ages 0-21) Supplemental Security Income \/ State Supplementary Payment (SSI\/SSP) In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS, the nation’s largest Home and Community Based Services Medicaid program) Adult Protective Services Deaf Access program Guide Dog Food for the Blind program Community Care Licensing (non-medical day and residential programs for children, adults, and seniors) Drought and Emergency Food Assistance programs State Hearings (providing client due process for 22 different public programs) Civil Rights Ay STATE OF CALIFORNIA\u2014HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY A DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES CDSS 744 P Street * Sacramento, CA 95814 * www.cdss.ca.gov PAT LEARY GAVIN NEWSOM ACTING DIRECTOR GOVERNOR ”
