California Code, Welfare and Institutions Code - WIC § 15651

County adult protective service agencies and the Home Safe Program, as established in Chapter 14 (commencing with Section 15770), may refer individuals with complex or intensive needs to the appropriate state or local agencies, as determined by the adult protective services agency or the Home Safe Program case workers, and based on a determination that the individual may be eligible for services and that those services may support the individual's safety goals. A referral may be made before or after an individual begins to receive adult protective services, and a referral does not preclude the individual from receiving adult protective services or Home Safe program services.
