Background: 1. The proposed amendments to Part 1, section 102, subsections (c) and (d) reflect the statutory adjustments provided under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The adjustment is a 2.3% reduction in the standards of aid. 2. The proposed amendments to Part 1, section 104 reflect the following factors. The amendment provides for a reduction of the cash grant to $30 per month for homeless applicants and recipients residing at a county shelter or a private shelter. This amount is derived from the figures determined by the market basket survey for these items which was done in 1989 ($24), and applying the annual Bay Area Consumer Price Index. Also, in consideration of the requirement that General Assistance applicants and recipients must take all actions necessary to obtain any available resource, and of the county's right to cooperation in administering its General Assistance program, the standard of aid shall be reduced to $142 per month if a homeless person declines to accept available county or private shelter. This amount reflects the $30 personal needs and basic transportation allowance, plus the current Federal Thrifty Food Plan allowance of $112 for food.
