(a) In order to promote the development of placements that will allow children to move into more homelike environments, the department shall establish Options for Recovery as a permanent program. This program shall be available to any county that requests participation pursuant to procedures established by the department to the extent funds are made available through the Budget Act.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Options for Recovery services shall be funded with a 30-percent nonfederal county share consistent with the normal sharing ratio for child welfare services. This county share may be provided with county general funds, or other sources of funds which are unrestricted and are eligible for this use as provided by the funding source. The source of the county share shall meet all applicable state and federal requirements and provide counties with maximum flexibility.
