Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention program

California Governor Gavin Newsom, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, and Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón announced a budget agreement to eliminate deficits for the next two fiscal years, allocating $251.5 billion in general fund spending and $28 billion in reserve funds. The agreement addresses federal funding cuts attributed to President Donald Trump and includes $900 million for homeless housing programs.

California lawmakers passed a $355.9 billion budget draft that eliminates proposed healthcare cuts from Governor Gavin Newsom's plan, protecting Medi-Cal and CalFresh programs. The budget includes increased funding for healthcare, food assistance, and homeless housing, while Republicans criticized it as a partisan move tied to lawmakers' pay.
