SO ON. BASICALLY THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THAT KEPT OUR
SOCIETY OUR SOCIETY MOVING.
WHILE MANY OF S WERE ABLE TO
STAY HOME SAFE AND QUARANTINED
WE CANNOT FORGET THAT THE LAST
TWO YEARS. HAVE BROUGHT
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO FAMILIES
AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. SOME OF WHICH
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC. BEFORE WE HEAR FROM
THE ADMINISTRATION I WANT TO
GIVE MY COLLEAGUES AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE COMMENTS.
ON THEIR BUDGET PRIORITIES WITH
REGARDS TO ISSUES UNDER THEIR-
JURISDICTIONS AND WHAT'S
IMPORTANT TO THEM. ANYONE ON THE
COMMITTEE I MISS WICKS PLEASE GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR-
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS.
BUDGET COMMITTEE- APPRECIATE
FOLKS COMING IN TODAY- YOU KNOW
I APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR'S
COMMITMENT HOUSING HOMELESSNESS
AND HE'S OBVIOUSLY DONE A LOT
MORE- THAN PREVIOUS GOVERNORS-
BUT I ALSO WANT TO SEE A LOT
MORE MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IN MANY OF
MY COLLEAGUES AND I WENT ON THAT
STATE WOULD HOUSING FOR THE
FALL. WE WENT TO EVERYWHERE FROM
CHICO TO INLAND EMPIRE TO FRESNO
LA. AND EVERY SINGLE STOP. IT
WAS RAISED WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
MONEY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING- WE
HEARD IT FROM EVERY COMMUNITY
LARGE AND SMALL- AND SO IT'S AN
OBVIOUS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY SINCE
WE'VE GOTTEN RID OF
REDEVELOPMENT THAT'S- THAT A
CHALLENGE FOR A LOT OF OUR LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES- AND I KNOW THAT
OUR STATE'S FLAGSHIP AFFORDABLE
pGONNA RUN OUT OF FUNDS- AND I
KNOW IT I THINK THERE'S JUST A
REMAINING- TURNED FIFTY MILLION
. WHICH WILL BE AWARDED NEXT
YEAR- SO I KNOW THE STATE'S OWN
AND ARE THOSE ARE THE
MINISTRATIONS OWN STATE WHAT
HOUSING PLAN CALLS FOR AN
ADDITIONAL ONE POINT TWO MILLION
NEW UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR. LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
I'M SO I THINK WE'RE NEEDS TO
SEE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE M. H.
P. PROGRAM IN PARTICULAR IN THE
ACCELERATOR FUND WHICH WAS
CREATED LAST YEAR TO
CONSTRUCTION OF THIS. SO I JUST
WANT TO YOU KNOW. AS ONE
LEGISLATOR WHO ALSO WAS TO BE
THE HOUSING CHAIR- CALL FOR MORE
FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE LL KNOW WE NEED TO DO- YOU
KNOW THEY SAY YOU ARE. BUDGET
REFLECTS OUR VALUES AND I THINK
FOR MANY AT LEAST IN MY DISTRICT
AND I KNOW MANY FOLKS IN
CALIFORNIA OUR VALUES ARE. THAT
WE VIEW IT AS A MORAL IMPERATIVE
TO ENSURE WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE
SLEEPING ON OUR STREETS- IN ALL
OF OUR COMMUNITIES- URBAN
SUBURBAN AND RURAL ARE FACING
THIS CRISIS RIGHT NOW- AND SO
THIS CRISIS I THINK WARRANT
SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES.
SIGNIFICANT ONGOING RESOURCES
WHICH WILL BE A CONTINUED COMP A
CONVERSATION I KNOW IN THE
ASSEMBLY AND I KNOW THAT AGAIN
HÌNH I KNOW THE GOVERNOR SAID A
LOT IN THE SPACE BUT- I WOULD
ASK FOR FORMER. MORE RESOURCES
BECAUSE WE HAVE A GROWING. AND
CATCHMENTS AND UNDERNEATH OUR-
HIGHWAY OVERPASSES WE HAVE.
CONSTITUENTS WERE LIVING IN
THEIR CARS WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO
ARE BARELY HANGING ON TO AFFORD
RENT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE
LOSING THEIR HOMES- IT'S SIMPLY
NOT OK. SO I JUST WANT TO BE ON
THE RECORD AS A FIERCE ADVOCATE
AND FIGHTING FOR MORE FUNDING
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING- AND I
KNOW THAT THOSE VALUES ARE ALSO
THE GOVERNOR'S VALUES AND I
APPRECIATE THAT BUT WITH THAT
JUST PREACHING THE CONVERSATION.
THANK YOU MISS WICKS AND
APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND-
THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND THE

AND WITH ME ARE MY COLLEAGUES
FROM PARTNER FINANCE RELEVANT
DEPARTMENTS TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE THANK
YOU. SIR L. A. O. SKINNER
PERCENT WRECKED. YEAH THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR GRANULAR FROM THE L.
A. O. ALL RIGHT YOU'RE OVER
THERE SORRY IS. FROM THE PEANUT
GALLERY LA HOPE IS- BEFORE-
MOVING TO OUR OUR COMMENTS ON
THE INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL JUST
VERY BRIEFLY WANT TO OFFER A
COUPLE OF HIGH LEVEL COMMENTS ON
THE KIND OF THE STRUCTURE THE
MAY REVISION OVERALL. OVERALL
THE MAY REVISION ALLOCATES FIFTY
TWO BILLION AND A GENERAL FUND
SURPLUS WITH THE LARGEST TWO
CATEGORIES GOING TO NATURAL
RESOURCES AND TRANSPORTATION
PROGRAMS. OTHER MEMBERS INCLUDES
THIRTY NINE BILLION PROPOSALS TO
ME A STATE APPROPRIATION LIMITS
REQUIREMENTS AND THIS INCLUDES A
ONE POINT FIVE BILLION- IN TAX
REFUNDS AND THIRTEEN BILLION FOR
CAPITAL OUTLAY- THE MIRRORS AND
DOES LEAVE SOME SELL
REQUIREMENTS UNADDRESSED IN
PARTICULAR. A THREE POINT FIVE
BILLION IN REQUIREMENTS IN
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE AND WE
THINK- OVER TWENTY BILLION IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR AND
DOESN'T SET FORTH A PLAN FOR
ADDRESSING THOSE FUTURE
REQUIREMENTS- WHICH WE THINK
PRESENTS SOME RISKS TO THE THAT
BUDGET PLAN- IN ADDITION WE SEE
THAT CERTAIN. ECONOMIC
INDICATORS THAT HISTORICALLY
HAVE A SIGNALED- A RECESSION
COULD BE ON THE RISE IN ARE
SUGGESTING THAT THE BUDGET MAY
BE FACING SOME DOWNSIDE RISK
GOING FORWARD- GIVEN THESE
FACTORS WE WOULD SUGGEST OF THE
LEGISLATURE THAT RESERVES WILL
BE ESSENTIAL. TO THE STATE AND
MAINTAINING ITS CURRENT LEVEL OF
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES GOING
FORWARD- SO WITH THAT LET ME.
MOVE THROUGH OUR COMMENTS ON A
NUMBER OF THE ITEMS POSE HERE
STARTING WITH OF THE CANNABIS
PROPOSALS- WE THINK THE
PROPOSALS TO MOVE- THE RETAIL
EXCISE POINT OF COLLECTION AND
TO ELIMINATE THE CULTIVATION
TAX- MATCH RECOMMENDATIONS.
WE'VE PREVIOUSLY MADE IN OUR
TWENTY NINETEEN REPORT- THE PER.
RATE CHANGE FOR THE RETAIL
EXCISE TAX IS PERHAPS MORE
COMPLEX THAN WOULD BE IDEAL-
THAT BEING SAID WE- WE RECOGNIZE
THAT THE PROPOSAL'S KALU TRYING
TO STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN-
KEEPING FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAMS
THAT ARE FUNDED OUT OF THESE
REVENUES BUT HELPING LICENSE
CANNABIS- THE LICENSE CANNABIS
MARKET COMPETE WITH THE ILLICIT
MARKET. ON HOUSING- WE THINK
THAT CONTINUES THEY FUNDING TO
ADDRESS THESE AREAS IS.
REASONABLE GIVEN THE SCALE OF
THE CHALLENGES FACED BY THE
STATE BUT WE THINK THERE MAY BE
OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE.
EXISTING PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE
EFFICIENCY IS AN APPROVED
PROGRAM MINISTERED MINISTRATION
AS OPPOSED TO PURSUING SOME OF
THE NEW AND EXPANDED PROGRAMS
THAT THE MAY REVISION SETS
FORTH- IN ADDITION THE MAY
REVISION PROPOSES TO. ALLOCATE
HOUSING FUNDING FOR HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS OVER MULTIPLE
YEARS- UNDER THE CONSIDERATION
OF SOME OF THE ISSUES
SURROUNDING THE STATE
APPROPRIATIONS ON THE
LEGISLATURE MIGHT WANT TO
CONSIDER APPROPRIATING. ALL OF
THE FUNDING THIS YEAR A TO BE
DISPERSED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS
AND THIS WOULD HAVE THE
ADVANTAGE. OF ALLOWING THE
LEGISLATURE TO WEIGH IN NOW ON
AN AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GO TO
HOUSING- AND SPREADING THAT
BENEFIT OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS-
MORE OVER AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT
THAT COULD BE GAINED FROM THAT
IS AS WE MENTIONED- IF IN FACT
THE STATE DOES. START TO SEE
SOME ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN IN FUTURE
YEARS IT IT COULD GAIN SOME
BENEFIT AND HAVING ADDITIONAL
INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS GOING
INTO THE ECONOMY. IN THOSE IN
THE FUTURE TIME PERIOD. ON A
BROAD BAND- WE KNOW THAT THE
BUDGET YEAR. THERE'S NO
APPROPRIATION IN THE BUDGET YEAR
AND THERE'S NO ABOUT YOUR BILL
OR OVER LANGUAGE THAT CODIFIES.
THE OUT YOUR ALLOCATIONS THAT
ARE PROPOSED. UNDER THE MAY
REVISION- IN ADDITION THERE ARE
OTHERS ANTICIPATED FEDERAL FUNDS
COMING TO THE STATE IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR AND TWENTY
FOUR TWENTY FIVE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE. SOME
ALLOWANCES FOR THOSE FUNDS TO
FLOW INTO THE STATE'S EFFORTS IN
THIS AREA. ON GIVEN THESE
FACTORS WE THINK THE LEGISLATURE
COULD- THE LADY MAKING ANY
DECISIONS ON THESE
APPROPRIATIONS- OR UNTIL NEXT
YEAR. ON THE TAX BILL
FLEXIBILITY- WE THINK THAT THE
CONCEPT- DOES HAVE SOME MERIT-
BUT WE FEEL THAT THE PERHAPS-
LIKELY MODEST BENEFITS THE MOST
TAXPAYERS- I CANNOT JUSTIFY THE
RELATIVELY HIGH COSTS OF
ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM IS
ESTIMATED. BY THE ADMINISTRATION
. ON E. I. T. C. OUT REACH
THERE'S A NUMBER OF PROPOSED OUT
REACH EFFORTS- WE HAVE CONCERNS
ABOUT- ONE PROPOSAL FOR FTV TO
PROACTIVELY REACH OUT TO
HOUSEHOLDS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE
FOR YET YOU SEE BUT DID NOT
CLAIM IT. AND WHILE THIS SEEMS
LIKE IT COULD BE A REASONABLE
PROPOSED- BASED ON PREVIOUS
ATTEMPTS TO MAKE SIMILAR EFFORTS
WE THINK IT'S LIKELY TO BE AN
EFFECTIVE. ON THE PROPOSALS
WITHIN GOBIZ TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL RELIEF GRANTS TO
BUSINESSES- THE STATE HAS MADE A
CAN'T RELIEF GRANTS TO SMALL
BUSINESSES FOLLOWING AN APPROACH
THAT PRIORITIZE. RAPID
DISBURSEMENT OF ASSISTANCE TO
BUSINESSES AND WE THINK THAT
THAT WAS WARRANTED AS A
PRIORITY DURING THE HEIGHT OF
THE PANDEMIC BUT- THAT APPROACH
DID MAKE SOME TRADE OFFS IN THE
YEARS OF TRANSPARENCY AND
OVERSIGHT AND EFFECTIVE
TARGETING AND WE THINK THAT
APPROACH IS NO LONGER WARRANTED
NOW THAT THE ECONOMY. HAS
RECOVERED FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE
PANDEMIC AND SWEET- I. REJECTING
ALLOCATING FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
FOR THE NEW HARD HIT INDUSTRIES
GRANT PROGRAM SIMILARLY ON THE-
RELIEF GRANTS- FOR AT DROUGHT-
WE HAVE A SIMILAR CONCERN- THE
PROPOSALS TO FOLLOW AGAIN A AND
AN EMERGENCY MODEL THAT APPROACH
IS GETTING THE FUNDING OUT
RAPIDLY. AND GIVEN THAT DROUGHT
IS A LONG STANDING PROBLEM FOR
THE STATE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
PROBLEM GOING FORWARD WE DON'T
THINK THAT THAT KIND OF- THAT
THAT APPROACH THAT PRIORITIZES
RAPID DISBURSEMENT OVER THESE
OTHER FACTORS IS APPROPRIATE AS
AN APPROPRIATE MODEL FOR THAT
FUNDING. ALL ON THE O. D. I.
PROPOSAL WERE STILL REVIEWING
THE PROPOSAL- IT GENERALLY
APPEARS REASONABLE GIVEN THE
OVERLAP. IN ADMINISTRATIVE AND
PROGRAMMATIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF
THESE ENTITIES WITH THEN GOV
OPS. WE THINK THERE ARE SOME
ELEMENTS THAT COULD BE CLARIFIED
IN TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE. AND
FINALLY ON THE OFFICE OF
COMMUNITY- PARTNERSHIPS AND
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS- IN. IN
JANUARY WE NOTED THERE COULD BE
SOME MERIT IN HAVING A PERSON
WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION TO
BETTER COORDINATE THE STATE'S
EFFORTS. ARE OFTEN DISPARATE AND
DUPLICATIVE EFFORTS- FOR PUBLIC
AT REACH ACROSS STATE AGENCIES-
BUT THE ADMINISTRATION'S
PROPOSAL TO CREATE A LARGE NEW
OFFICE WITHIN- PR- RAISES MANY
CONCERNS FOR US IT'S ALSO NOT
CLEAR WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE. TO
MOVE- PUBLIC EVERYTHING
ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS OF
PUBLIC HEALTH AND DROUGHT- FROM
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
TO. A NEW AGENCY AT OPR- WE'RE
CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD DELAY
THOSE OUT REJECTED BT'S AND
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT
WHETHER THEADMINISTRATION HAS
ADEQUATELY CONSIDERED. OR TAKEN
TAKEN STEPS TO AVOID DUPLICATION
OF EFFORTS WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
DOING SIMILAR OUTREACH. WITH
THAT WERE HAPPENING ANSWERING
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR THE
PRESENTATIONS- MISTER COOPER
YEAH I DO HAVE A QUESTION
REGARDING THE MIDDLE MILE WE
TALKED ABOUT- IS A FLEXIBILITY
TO ALSO USE THAT SUPPORT FOR THE
LAST MILE PROJECTS THERE'S A BIT
THE SAME COST PRESSURES. CRISCO
WITH DEPARTMENT FINANCE- I
BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A COLLEAGUE
ON THE LINE WHO COULD ANSWER
THAT.
BOB. HI THIS IS SCOTT ADAMS THE
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF- BROADBAND
AND DIGITAL LITERACY- STANDING
UP FOR PARKMAN ROAD WHO SAID
OVER AT THIS BUDGET COMMITTEE
HEARING- YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION
PLEASE. AS FAR AS THE FUNDING
FOR THE FOR THE MIDDLE MILE IS
OUR FLEXIBILITY BUT IT CAN ALSO
BE USED TO SUPPORT THE LAST MILE
PROJECTS THEY'RE SUBJECT TO THE
SAME COST PRESSURES. I'M NOT TO
SURE BACKUP NEW DEAD. ON EASY
SUBMITTED BY BOB RELATED COST
PRESSURES THE BELMONT. YOU'RE
YOU'RE CUTTING OUT I GOT BITS
AND PIECES OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID
. I'M SORRY THE PROPOSAL THAT
WAS SUBMITTED IT'S REALLY AREN'T
. COST PRESSURES SPACE TO MODEL
AND WHY THEY MAY BE SIMILAR ON
THE LINE MONTH THAT WE'RE GOING
START AND WE'RE TO ASK YOU CARE
OFF AND HOPEFULLY WERE ABLE TO
pCRITICAL THAT OUR CONVERSATIONS
ARE BROADBAND OR ABLE TO.
CLEARLY HEAR YOU. HOW IS THIS
YOU HEAR ME NOW. BETTER YES
THAT'S BETTER. YES. MAKE YOUR
POLICIES I'M- I WE'RE NOT QUITE

CALL PRESSURES AND FISH WITH THE
MIDDLE MOM AND WHILE THEY MAY BE

TO CIRCLE BACK YOU FOR ANY ON
THE- YEAH IF YOU COULD DO THAT

INTERIM HOUSING PLACEMENTS THAT
PROVIDES FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
OVER TWO YEARS TO ADDRESSED.
UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS ON
STATEOWNED LAND THROUGH TURKEY
GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

THE DEPARTMENT FINANCES- WELL
ALLOW MY COLLEAGUE ON THE LINE
TO- TO GET READY I WILL SAY
THOUGH THAT WE WE'VE BEEN IN
CONTACT WITH STAFF AND WE'RE
PREPARING TO HAVE MORE DETAIL
WRITTEN TO SHARE AND PROVIDE- I
STAFF ON THE COMMITTEE. BUT WHAT
ASSET WHEN'S THE DEADLINE FOR
YOU TO DO THAT. I COULD DO IN
THE NEXT DAY OR SO. FINALIZING
THE DOCUMENT NOW BUT I WILL ASK
THAT MY COLLEAGUE AT FROM CALAIS
C. H. H. C. D. TO PLEASE-
ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN
THE PROPOSAL WITH. IF THIS IS
SUCH A CARD GAME ANDTHE DEPUTY
SECRETARY FOR HOUSING AT THE
BUSINESS CONSUMER SERVICES AND
HOUSING AGENCY AND I'LL BE
SPEAKING ABOUT THIS CRISIS OF
WHAT WE'RE SPLIT IN THE OTHER
HEARING- THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION CHAIR. OF THE PROPOSAL
IS TO HAVE THE STATE ASSIST WITH
THAT INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION FOR LAND SITE
PREPARATION AND PROCUREMENT OF
STRUCTURES THAT CAN BE USED TO
EXPEDITE HOUSING PLACEMENT
OPTIONS. REALLY TO ENSURE THAT
UNSHELTERED. UNSHELTERED
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ON
STATE RIGHT OF WAY. GET EXCEPT
IT CAN'T MINCE INTO STABLE
SUPPORTIVE INTERIM AND PERMANENT
HOUSING SETTINGS I'M THIS WOULD
INCLUDE FUNDING FOR THE
STRUCTURES FUNDING FOR SITE
PREPARATION WHEN REQUIRED. AND
ALSO SERVICES COMPONENTS THE
GRANTS WOULD BE ADMINISTERED BY
EACH TV AND WE WOULD WORK IN
CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH I. C. H.
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR BEST
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS CONTINUE
TO STAY ALIGNED AND COORDINATED
WITH THINGS EXISTING PROGRAMS.
THANK YOU. THANK THANK YOU FOR
THAT MY CONCERN IS THAT
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR I HAVE ASKED
A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ON THE
INCOMING GRAHAM PROCESS A
PROCESS THAT HAD VERY LITTLE
STRUCTURE AND STILL LEFT ME IN
THE COMMITTEE WITH MORE
QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS THE
INCOMING GRAHAM PROGRAM HAD
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE IN THIS
PROGRAM DOES NOT ADDITIONALLY
I'D LIKE TO KNOW OUT OF THE WHAT
IS ADDRESSED HERE **** STATE
OWNED LAND WHICH IS CALTRANS
PROPERTIES. WHAT IS THE
PERCENTAGE OF UN HOUSED
INDIVIDUALS COMPARED TO THE REST
OF ENCAMPMENTS ACROSS THE STATE
PARTICULARLY SKID ROW WHICH IS
THE BIGGEST ENCAMPMENT IN THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY WHICH IS NOT ON
STATE PROPERTY. THAT'S A VERY
GOOD QUESTION I'M SURE I DO NOT
HAVE THOSE STATISTICS AT THE
READY I THINK THAT THE PIECE
THAT I WOULD BUT WE CAN SHARE
THE BEST INFORMATION THAT WE
HAVE AVAILABLE. THE PEACE. AFTER
THAT AFTER THE HEARING TODAY-
THE PIECE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
LIFT UP IS JUST THE URGENCY- AND
THE- LACK OF SAFETY THAT EXISTS
FOR. I'M SHELTERED INDIVIDUALS
REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY ARE
PARTICULARLY ON STATE RIGHT OF
WAY BECAUSE IT IS A J. SENT. TO
BE A KILLER TRAFFIC V. VERY FAST
MOVING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AT
TIMES I'VE BEEN THIS IS RESIDENT
WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE
GOVERNOR HAS SHARED ABOUT THE-
THE LACK OF I'M NOT ONLY
STABILITY AND BASIC SERVICES FOR
FOLKS. I'M LIVING THERE BUT ALSO
JUST SPECIFICALLY FOLKS THAT-
ARE SO ADJACENT TO ROADWAYS SO
THAT'S WHY THERE'S THIS FOCUS
HERE ON MAKING SURE THAT B. I'M
STATE IS ADDRESSING ENCAMPMENTS
ON ITS OWN LAND AND WORKING IN
COORDINATION WITH LOCALS I'M TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S WAYS TO
EXIT. SAFELY THANK YOU I DON'T
THINK THE WEARER DEBATING THE
MERITS OF. ENSURING THAT SAFETY
IS A PRIORITY ON. ON RIGHT AWAY
IS ON FREEWAYS ON CALTRANS
PROPERTY WHERE ASKING FOR THE
DETAILS AS TO HOW THIS PROGRAM
IS GOING TO BE ROLLED OUT. AND
COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING WHAT IS
THE PERCENTAGE OF IN HOUSE
INDIVIDUALS ON RIGHT OF WAYS
VERSUS THE PERCENTAGE OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE. NOT ON
STATE OWNED PROPERTY. YES I
UNDERSTAND AND THANK YOU FOR
THAT- WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT THE
NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUALS ON STATE
RIGHT OF WAY OR IN THE THOUSANDS
I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS OF THE
INDIVIDUALS LIVING ON IN. ON
CAN'T MEDS AND SKID ROW OR IN
OTHERS AREAS AT THE READY. THE
WAY THAT THIS WOULD BE
ADMINISTERED I AM IS REALLY.
THROUGH EACH TV THAT THE GRANTS
WOULD BE ADMINISTERED BUT AS I
MENTIONED- KELLY C. H. BRINGING
THEIR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE.
ACCORDING TO SHIN WITH EXISTING
PROGRAMS INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE ENCAMPMENT
RESOLUTION PROGRAMS TO ENSURE
THAT WE'RE GETTING SOME
ACCOUNTABILITY- COMPONENTS BUT I
KNOW THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
AS YOU JUST STATED- ADDITIONALLY
WE WOULD BE PARTNERING CAN ABOUT
A STRIKE TEAM BASIS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STATE CAN
ASSIST WITH PROCUREMENT OF
STRUCTURES. IDENTIFIED STATE OF
LAND FOR CITING- AND WORK TO
PROVIDE- OVERSIGHT OF SITE
IMPROVEMENTS IF LOCALITIES
NEEDED THAT SUPPORT. ELIGIBLE
APPLICANTS WOULD BE CITIES AND
COUNTIES. WHERE PEOPLE ARE
I'M AT THE ELIGIBLE USES COULD
BE THOSE STRUCTURES FOR RAPID OR
INTERIM SHELTER SITE PREPARATION
INCLUDING ELECTRICAL OR
SANITATION LAND ACQUISITION IF
NEEDED AND SERVICES FOR UP TO
THREE YEARS. THANK YOU FOR THAT
I JUST DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH
WHILE LISTENING TO YOUR
PRESENTATION AND CALMATTERS HAS
AN ARTICLE BASED ON THE LAST
CALIFORNIA COUNT WHICH PUT THE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE THOUSAND
PEOPLE. THAT ARE ON HOUSE ACROSS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IF YOU
DO THAT THE SAME SEARCH FOR SKID
ROW IT'S OF MORE THAN EIGHT
THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT ARE ON
HOUSE ON SKID ROW SO AS WE
CONTINUE TO DEBATE FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION OVER TWO YEARS TO
ADDRESSED UNSHELTERED.
INDIVIDUALS ON STATE OWNED LANDS
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
NEED PRIORITIZE WHERE THE NEEDS
ARE THE MOST- WHICH AS MENTIONED
SKID ROW IS THE BIGGEST
ENCAMPMENT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
- AS WE PRIORITIZE. YOU KNOW
WHERE THESE FINDINGS ARE GOING
TO GO ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN DO A
COMPARISON ANALYSIS A TO HOW
MANY FOLKS ARE ACTUALLY ON.
STATEMENT THAT WOULD BE
INCREDIBLY HELPFUL TO THE
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH- I
JUST WONDER IF I MAY WOULD JUST
MENTION ONE MORE THING AND THAT
THIS IS NOT CERTAINLY AS YOU
KNOW WELL THIS IS NOT THE ONLY
STRATEGY THAT WE ARE PUTTING
FORWARD OR ARE CURRENTLY
IMPLEMENTING WHEN IT COMES TO
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS- AND
WORKING WITH ENCAMPMENTS AROUND
THE STATE. SO THIS IS ANOTHER
IMPORTANT SOLUTION ONE WHERE AS
YOU MENTIONED WE ALL WILL NOT BE
DEBATING THE MERITS OR THE NEED
FOR BRINGING PEOPLE INTO MORE
SAVE SITUATIONS- BUT REALLY AS
ANOTHERIMPORTANT TOOL FOR A
VERY CRITICAL NEED- WE WEEK WE
CAN FOLLOW UP WITH MORE DATA AS
YOU REQUESTED. THANK YOU AND IF
WE CAN FOLLOW UP AS TO I ASKED
IN THIS LAST COMMITTEE AS WELL-
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DID
APPLY FOR A GRANT FOR I BELIEVE
SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP
WITH THE ENCAMPMENTS ACROSS GET
ROW. AND I AM TALKING ABOUT SKID
ROW SPECIFICALLY AS THE CITY OF
LOS WITHIN THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES IT IS NOT IN MY DISTRICT
SPECIFICALLY BUT IT'S RIGHT NEXT
DOOR TO THE DISTRICT THAT I
REPRESENT AND WITH THE CONTINUED
ECONOMIC BOOM IN DOWNTOWN LOS
ANGELES SKID ROW CONTINUES TO
GROW AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW
OUTSIDE OF SKID ROW AND IT'S NOW
GROWING. IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
ACROSS THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
SO AS WE LOOK AT THIS BEING THE
HIGHEST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING
THAT CALIFORNIANS ARE TALKING
ABOUT I THINK IT BE IMPERATIVE
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
FOCUS ON BE BIGGEST ENCAMPMENT.
WHICH IS RIGHT HERE AT HOME. IN
OUR OWN STATE IN MY OWN BACKYARD
IN LOS ANGELES. SO THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE-
pTO KNOW. A REASON AS TO WHY THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES WAS NOT
GRANTED THAT SIXTEEN MILLION.
GRANT FOR ENCAMPMENTS. AND
FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. THAT
ULTIMATELY ALSO HELPS-
NAVIGATORS ACROSS A SKID ROW IN
PARTICULAR. THANK YOU I'M I MAY
HAVE ANOTHER COLLEAGUE ON FROM
OUR INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON
HOMELESSNESS BUT I'M OUR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
COUNCIL IS IN THE SENATE.
HEARING SO AT VICTOR ARE YOU ON
AND DID WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU
WANTED TO ADD RELATED TO. THIS
YEAR. YES ARBITRON YOUR GRANTS
DIRECTOR WITH CALA SPEECH THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION MANAGER ON-
SO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
DESIGNING INTO THE NEXT ROUND
TRIP IN CAMDEN RESOLUTION GRANTS
AS WE WOULD IMMEDIATELY
PRIORITIZED- A FUNDING THOSE
PROPOSALS THAT WERE NOT FUNDED
DURING THE FIRST ROUND I'VE
ALREADY HAD A WONDERFUL VERY
PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION WITH THE
LOS ANGELES- WITH THE FOLKS WHO
PRESS AMID THE PROPOSAL FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR SKID ROW- AND HAVING
CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM ABOUT-
PROPOSAL AND SOME NEXT STEPS.
AND ASSURING THAT IF THE- FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION IN KEVIN
RESOLUTION- PART TWO WHERE TO
MOVE FORWARD THEY WOULD BE AT
THE FRONT OF THE LINE- FOR
HAVING THAT. HAVING A PROPOSAL
FUNDED- AS YOUR ALL THE WHERE
THE FIRST ITERATION OF THE
PROGRAM'S ONLY FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS- WE WERE OVERSUBSCRIBED
. IT WITH PROPOSALS- NEARLY
THREE TIMES OVER WHAT WAS
AVAILABLE- AND ONE OF THE IT WAS
COMPETITIVELY- SCORED
APPLICATION IT WAS NOT. BASED ON
POPULATION NEED LIKE SOME OF OUR
OTHER BLOCK GRANT FORMULA ARE-
AND ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF
COURSE WAS TO SUPPORT AS MUCH
GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY AND THE-
AWARDS AS POSSIBLE- AND WE GET
AWARD PROPOSALS FOR TO OUR
PROPOSALS IN L. A. COUNTY ONE IN
LONG BEACH AND ONE IN THE CITY
OF LA AND WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD
TO. CONTINUING TO WORK WITH CITY
OF LA- TO FIND ADDITIONAL
PROPOSALS AS NEW RESOURCES COME
ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WELL
WILL CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION
SAYS AS NEEDED THEN THANK YOU
WELL LET'S MOVE ON TO QUESTIONS
ON HOUSING CAN FINANCE EXPLAINED
THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
RELATED TO HOUSING WHAT IS THE
GOAL BY LAYERING THESE GOALS
OVER THE EXISTING PROGRAM WHO
DECIDES WHAT AND HOW. THE GOALS
WORK. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION SO
THE HOUSING TRADABLE INTENT IS
TO- IDENTIFY SOME PRIORITY AREAS
IN THE STATE MANY OF THOSE WHICH
ARE ALREADY EXISTING- I BELIEVE
ALL OF THEM ARE EXISTING HOUSING
POLICY GOALS. FOR EXAMPLE-
REDUCE SEEN EM TEA AND THE
CLIMATE FOCUSED OBJECTIVE SO
THAT THE TRAILER BILL IS MORE-
INTENDED TO BRING THOSE ALL
TOGETHER AND USES AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR SOME OF THE STATE PROGRAMS
AND HOUSING. TO POINT TO AND TO
IDENTIFY THOSE HOUSING PRIORITY
AREAS AND TO BE USED. AS THE
GOALS THAT THAT THOSE PROGRAMS
ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE. THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE SAYS THAT
THIS POLICY WOULD GO INTO EFFECT
JULY OF JULY FIRST OF THIS YEAR.
HAS THIS POLICY BEEN VETTED
ANYWHERE- OR WITH ANY
STAKEHOLDERS AND IF SO WITH WHOM
. I'LL ASK IF THERE'S ANY
COLLEAGUES FROM- THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING RESEARCH ON THE LINE IF
THEY'VE HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS
WITH ANY STAKEHOLDERS. HONEST
LANGUAGE.
THIS IS CAN YOU HEAR ME THIS IS
NEW IN TARA KEEP FROM OPR YES
PLEASE GO AHEAD. RIGHT YES I AM
I DO NOT HAVE. INFORMATION ON
THAT IMMEDIATELY AT HAND BUT WE
WILL FOLLOW UP TO GET
INFORMATION ON THAT QUESTION. IS
THERE SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN CALL
THAT MAY HAVE THAT INFORMATION
ON HAND FOR THIS HEARING. HI
SORRY ABOUT THAT. ISSUE AND YET
LET ME REACH OUT TO A COLLEAGUE
HERE AND SEE IF WE CAN GET A
RESPONSE JUST ONE JUST ONE
MINUTE. SHARKS. THE REQUESTED MR
COOPER- I WANNA GO BACK ON
SOMETHING I FORGOT TO ASK
EARLIER CHARLOTTE FALL DATE
LET'S GIVE THEM SOME TIME TO DO
A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND YOU
CAN ASK YOUR QUESTION AS WELL
THANK YOU. THE OTHER CANNABIS
TAX PROPOSAL COULD YOU TALK
ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF IT. AND
GO MORE IN DEPTH ON THAT. SURE
IS THE DEPARTMENT OF CANNABIS ON
THE LINE. HI NICOLE ELLIOTT
DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT
CAMPUS PLAN TO BE HERE WITH YOU
GUYS TODAY I'M ALSO JOINED BY
NICK MADURO'S- I BELIEVE OR SEND
YOU WILL SEND FROM THAT COMPANY
DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE
ADMINISTRATION. I HAD TO SPEAK
ON THIS ISSUE IF EITHER OF THEM
ARE ON THE LINE WHICH WE ARE
DOING DOUBLE DUTY AND BOTH AT
COMMITTEE HEARINGS RIGHT NOW.
YES THIS IS NICK WITH- SOME
ONLINE. THANK YOU NICK WOULD YOU
LIKE TO WALK THROUGH THE TAX
PROPOSAL. SURE SO A SITE
TESTIFIED I RECENTLY- WE HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AROUND THE
CURRENT STRUCTURE OF THE-
CANNABIS TAXES AND STATE- AND
RECOMMENDED THAT WE BOTH
SIMPLIFY THE TAX STRUCTURE TO
MAKE IT EASIER FOR TAXPAYERS-
SIMPLER FOR CONSUMERS AND
FRANKLY- ENABLE OUR TEAM TO
BETTER MINISTER THE TAX- THAT
CANNABIS TAXES. AS WELL AS TO
ADD ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN- WORK MOST
EFFECTIVELY TO- ADDRESSED THE
ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM OF
THE ILLEGAL MARKET- THAT WE FIND
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND SO- THE PROPOSAL WOULD MOVE
THE EXCISE TAX WHICH IS THE 15%
TAX- FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR TO THE
RETAILER WHICH IS- THE WAY THE
TAX WAS STRUCTURED IN PROP SIXTY
FOUR- THAT WOULD HAVE A NUMBER
OF BENEFITS- FIRST IT WOULD
ALIGN BETTER LINE THE TAX WITH.
PROP SIXTY FOUR IT WOULD
ELIMINATE THIS- SITUATION WE
HAVE CURRENTLY WHERE WE- COME UP
WITH IT- AVERAGE STATEWIDE
MARKUP RATE. TWICE A YEAR- THAT
RESULTS FRANKLY IN WILDLY
VARYING TAX RATES- FOR VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE AND IT'S VERY
CONFUSING- TO CONSUMERS AND
RETAILERS- WE BELIEVE THAT WOULD
RESULT IN BY MANY FEWER
REPORTING ERRORS ON OUR RETURNS-
IT WILL MAKE OUR COMPLIANCE
EFFORTS MUCH MORE
STRAIGHTFORWARD- AS WELL AS
ALLOW US TO. LEVERAGE OUR VERY
LARGE SALES AND USE TAX- JEAN TO
ALSO TRY TO ADDRESS THE-
PROBLEMS IN THE CAMPUS MARKET
SINCE. THE CANNABIS RETAILERS
ARE SALES AND USE TAX PAYERS SO
WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH THEM
ON SALES AND USE- AND
FURTHERMORE IT- THE MOVE MOVING
THIS TO THE POINT OF SALE- WOULD
ELIMINATE A LOT OF THE DISPUTES
THAT WE'RE- IN BETWEEN. JUST AND
RETAILERS ABOUT WHO IN FACT DOES
THE TAXES AND- WHETHER OR NOT
THE DISTRIBUTORS HAVE BEEN-
GIVEN THE MONEY FOR THE TAXES
AND WOOD- I BELIEVE THAT THIS
REALLY STREAMLINED THE THIS
SITUATION FOR US IN THE
ENFORCEMENT PIECES ARE EQUALLY
IMPORTANT IT WOULD SIMPLY GIVE
US THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE IN
OTHER TAX PROGRAMS INCLUDING
SALES AND USE TAX. AS WELL AS IN
OUR- TOBACCO TAX PROGRAMS TO
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE
COMPLYING WITH THE TAXES- YOU
COMPLAIN I CAN GOING TO THOSE IN
MORE DETAIL IF YOU'D LIKE BUT-
THEY'RE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD-
AND ALIGN OUR CANNABIS TAXES
WITH THOSE OTHER. TAXES. THANK
YOU. I KNOW WE HAVE THE SAME
ISSUE LAST YEAR AND ADJUSTED AND
ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC. ON THE-
THE FUNDING FOR EDUCATION AND
INTERVENTION TREATMENT. IT WAS
IT WAS VERY VERY LAST YEAR WHAT
IT WAS. I THINK THEY DIDN'T GIVE
ALL THEY GASSER ARE COMPLETE
ANSWER WHAT WHAT THAT DID
SPECIFICALLY. CAN SOMEONE COME
ALONG THAT. HI THIS IS KIMBERLY
HARVEST DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WE
HAVE A- DOCUMENT THAT WE'VE
SHARED WITH COMMITTEE STAFF
MOVED OVER TO YOU ON WHAT YOU TO
THE DEPARTMENTS DO WHAT THAT
FUNDING. CAN YOU TELL ME THAT
REYNELLA- I DON'T HAVE AT HAND
I'M SORRY. BUT BUT IT IS THE
THREE BUCKETS A 60% FOR THE
YOUTH EDUCATION TREATMENT
PREVENTION. 20% FOR NATURAL
RESOURCE PROTECTION AND THEN 20%
OR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OF
SAFETY. SURE SO I'D LIKE TO
BROKEN ON THAT ALSO THE LAST
BUDGET CYCLE WHAT IT DID FOR
THERE WAS DIFFERENT LAST TIME
WAS THIS TIME ALSO. IF YOU COULD
READ THAT ALSO ON THE EDUCATION
PORTION. OKAY WILL PROVIDE THAT
TO YOU- EITHER THIS AFTERNOON OR
TOMORROW. OKAY THANK YOU. THE
REPORT. THANK YOU. I REGARDING
THE PROPOSED CANNABIS RETAIL
GRANT PROGRAM WHAT WOULD BE THE
TIMELINE TO ROLL OUT THIS
PROGRAM IS THERE AN ANTICIPATED
ANTICIPATED DEADLINE. FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO APPLY. THANK
YOU FOR THAT QUESTION- WE WOULD
ANTICIPATE IF APPROVED WOULD
SEEK TO- ISSUE THE SOLICITATION
FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM IN THE
FIRST QUARTER OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE AND I'M CALENDAR YEAR
TWENTY TWENTY THREE I SHOULD
SAY. SPENDING THE SIX MONTHS
BETWEEN JULY FIRST AND THEEND
OF THE YEAR WORKING WITH-
ELIGIBLE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO
DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT BEST
SUITS THEIR NEEDS. SO THE SECOND
PART OF THE QUESTION THE
ANTICIPATED DEADLINE FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO APPLIES WITHIN
. YEAH THAT IS IT SO SORRY FOR
CLARIFICATION THAT WOULD BE PART
OF THE GUIDELINE PROCESS THAT WE
WOULD BE DEVELOPING WITHIN THE
NEXT SIX MONTHS BUT WE WOULD
OBVIOUSLY BE WORKING IN EARNEST
TO ENSURE THAT THAT SOLICITATION
PROCESS. I IS PRETTY SWIFT
SIMILAR TO THE WAY THAT WE
STRUCTURE IT ARTICLE
JURISDICTION ASSISTANCE GRANT
PROGRAM FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
I WOULD OPEN IT CLOSED IN. TWO
MONTHS. THANK YOU AND WITH THE
DEPARTMENT BE ABLE TO INCLUDE IN
ITS ANNUAL REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE AN UPDATE ON THE
JURISDICTIONS THAT APPLIED AND
WHERE THE AWARDS WERE GRANTED.
ABSOLUTELY BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS CODE TWO SIX ONE
NINE ZERO DOES REQUIRE US REPORT
ANNUALLY STARTING IN MARCH FIRST
OF NEXT YEAR WE CAN- VERY
HAPPILY I INCLUDE DATES ON THIS
PROGRAM AS PART OF THAT. WOULD
YOU BE ABLE TO. BREAK DOWN THE
JURISDICTIONS BETWEEN ASSEMBLY
DISTRICTS. OR HOW IS IN CHECK
HOW HOW IS A BROKE INTO. I SAW
IT WOULD BE PER CITY OR COUNTY-
I THINK WE CAN INDICATE IN THAT-
REPORTING STRUCTURE WHICH
ASSEMBLY DISTRICT ASSOCIATED
WITH I THOUGHT I WOULD BE. YEAH
THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IF
YOU'RE ABLE TO INCLUDE THAT. AND
LASTLY JUST TO KIND OF ECHO MR
COOPER'S QUESTION HOW WAS THE
19% EXCISE TAX CEILING
DETERMINED. A FOR THAT QUESTION
I WILL DEFER TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. HI THIS IS KIMBERLY
HARVESTING AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE THE 19% IS REFLECTIVE OF
WHAT THE TAX RATE IS NOW BECAUSE
THE TAX RATE IS CURRENTLY. ABOUT
FOUR IT'S 4% FOR CULTIVATION
WHICH WE ARE ZEROING OUT AND
IT'S 15% EXCISE TAX. SO IN AN
EFFORT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN A
BALANCE BETWEEN HELP THINKING OF
THE FOLKS THAT HAVE COME INTO
THE LEGAL MARKET WE WANT TO
SUPPORT THEM BY GIVING THEM A
TAX BREAK BY LOWERING THE
CULTIVATION IMMEDIATELY AND-
PROVIDE THAT WE'RE ALSO
COGNIZANT THAT THERE ARE
PROGRAMS. AS MEDICAL PREVENTION
TO THAT RELY ON FUNDING FROM THE
ALLOCATION THREE PART OF THE TAX
REVENUE SO WE'RE TRYING TO
STRIKE A BALANCE. BETWEEN THE
PROVIDING FUNDING FOR THOSE
PROGRAMS BUT ALSO LOWERING THE
TAX- ARDEN ON FOLKS WITH THE
IDEA THAT IF THE TAXES ARE LOWER
THE HOPE IS THAT THEY'LL BE
MORE. LEGAL CANNABIS SOLD SO
THAT THE OVERALL REVENUE.
REMAINS ABOUT THE SAME AND THEN
WE'VE ALSO- ARE PROPOSING A
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR.
GENERAL FUND BACK FILL TO SORT
OF MITIGATE ANY. LOWER REVENUE
IF NEEDED AND THEN THE TAX RATE
CHANGE- BETWEEN FIFTEEN AND
NINETEEN PERCENT. IS ANOTHER
MITIGATION STRATEGY. THANK YOU
MUCH APPRECIATE THE ANSWER. CAN
WE GO BACK TO. OF BACK TO
HOUSING TO THE QUESTION ON
STAKEHOLDERS IS THAT. DO WE HAVE
THE INDIVIDUAL ONLINE. FIVE IS
NEWMAN TARA KEY AGAIN FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF PLANNING
RESEARCH AND WE HAVE DONE SOME
PRELIMINARY OUTRAGE I DON'T HAVE
THE LIST OF STAKEHOLDERS AND
WHAT THAT ENGAGEMENT HAS LOOKED
LIKE- WE HAVE DONE NO FORMAL IN
ABOUT REGION ENGAGEMENT EFFORT
BUT- I CAN CIRCLE WITH MY
COLLEAGUES TO. GET ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION WE CAN SHARE THAT IN
THAT- AS A FOLLOW UP. OKAY THAT
WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF WE CAN
HAVE THAT INFORMATION PLEASE.
LET'S MOVE ONTO A DIFFERENT
TOPIC AGO THIS. CAN GO BATES
EXPLAINED THE GRANTS FOR THE
HARD OF FOR THE HARD HIT
BUSINESSES HOW WAS THE PROGRAM
SIZED AND HOW WILL CAL ALWAYS BE
A ENSURE. THAT IT IS
ADMINISTERED EQUITABLY THIS THE
PROGRAM ON A FIRST COME FIRST
SERVE BASIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE QUESTION BRIAN RUTLEDGE
BUDGET OFFICER. GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT. SO IN TERMS OF THIS
SIZE THE ADMINISTRATION WAS
TRYING TO. REVISED SOME
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WE KNOW THAT-
BUSINESSES THAT WERE THE HARDEST
HIT AT SPECIFICALLY FOOD
SERVICES ACCOMMODATION THOSE
INDUSTRIES THAT SAW DRAMATIC
LOSSES IN TERMS OF PERCENTAGE OF
JOBS THAT WENT AWAY BUT UNDER
COBIT. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THEM
BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE AND TO
DRIVE THE RECOVERY SO THAT'S THE
IMPETUS FOR THIS PROGRAM. IN
TERMS OF THE SIZING ARE WE
ANTICIPATE THE FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AWARDS TO
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES-
THERE IS AVAILABLE RESOURCE
CONSTRAINTS SO- WE DO BELIEVE
THERE'S FIVE HUNDRED MILLION UP
DEMAND OUT THERE AN ELIGIBILITY-
BUT THAT'S IN TERMS OF HOW WE
GOT TO THE FIVE HUNDRED. MILLION
SO IN TERMS OF EQUITY WE THIS
COMMITTEES FOCUS ON EQUITY-
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE
WE KNOW THAT'S A PRIORITY
ADMINISTRATION CERTAINLY SHARES
THAT AND HELLO IT'S BE A- THE
DIRECTOR APOLOGIES- APOLOGIZES
COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. BUT SHE
SHE SHARES THAT SO WITH THIS
PROGRAM THE HARD HIT INDUSTRIES.
THE WAY WE WOULD ENSURE THAT
EQUITY AND INCLUSION IT IS BIG
TEN YEARS WE WOULD LEVERAGE THE
COBIT RELIEF GRANT PROGRAMS
NETWORK OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
PROVIDERS- AND OTHER EXISTING
PRACTICES THAT ESSENTIALLY IN
THE LAST TWO YEARS WE'VE
DEVELOPED- IN IN GETTING OUT
GRANTS TO SMALL BUSINESSES FOR
RELIEF. I WOULD ALSO DO
CAMPAIGNS MEDIA CAMPAIGNS IN
MULTIPLE LANGUAGES THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SORT OF
WORKED OUT AND ARE. MOVING
TOWARDS A SUCCESSFUL MODEL SO WE
WOULD BASICALLY BE LEVERAGING
THE COMPANY RELIEF GRANT
PROGRAM. TRYING TO USE THE
NETWORKS AND THE PRACTICES WE-
WE'VE SEEN THAT ARE EFFECTIVE IN
GETTING AWARENESS UP. AND ALSO
ENSURES THAT DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES HAVE A MAXIMUM
PARTICIPATION. THAT WHILE ALL
LEAVE IT THERE BUT- HAPPY TO ADD
ANYTHING IF THAT'S HELPFUL. DO
YOU THINK THAT THE PROGRAM WILL
BE OVERSUBSCRIBED. WE DO THINK
THE AWFUL FIVE HUNDRED WILL GO
OUT AND PROBABLY YOU KNOW
RELATIVELY QUICKLY- THERE'S
BEEN- THE THOUGH THE WAY IT'S
GONE IS IT'S NOW. THERE'S BEEN A
COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS OF FUNDING
THROUGH THE COVERED RELIEF GRANT
PROGRAM SO WE HAVE A SENSE OF.
THAT THE TIMING ON HOW THOSE
WAYS OF FINDING GO OUT. AND IN
RECENT MONTHS THERE'S BEEN A
LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWDOWN WHICH
DOES MAKE US THINK THAT THE FIVE
HUNDRED. I IS A PRETTY GOOD-
ESTIMATE FOR TERMS OF IT
WOULDN'T GO OUT DAY ONE IT'S NOT
IS IT- GOING TO THE FULL. VALUE
WOULD BE MASSIVELY
OVERSUBSCRIBED SO WERE WE DON'T
CLAIM THAT THIS IS THE PERFECT
NUMBER BUT WE DO CLAIM IT'S- I
PRETTY. SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT AND
THAT THE THAT IN OUR OVERALL
FISCAL RESILIENCY DESIGN IS- IT
SORT OF. MAKES SENSE. OKAY THANK
YOU I KNOW IN IN OUR LAST
HEARING WE DISCUSSED- YOU KNOW
HOW HOW DO WE EXTEND
OPPORTUNITIES TO BUSINESSES AND
OUTRAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. SO
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING AFTER THE
SAME BUSINESSES THAT HAVE
ALREADY. APPLIED OR HAVE
KNOWLEDGE AS TO HOW TO APPLY BUT
REALLY. ALSO INCLUDE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO OUTREACH TO
COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST YOU KNOW
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES DIFFERENT
CULTURES. TO ENSURE THAT THEY
TOO ARE ALSO PART OF. THE
CONVERSATION ON ECONOMIC
RECOVERY. YEAH I'LL JUST ECHO
THAT POINT AND KNOW THAT
CALLAWAY'S BA IS DEFINITELY
TAKING THAT. INTO CONSIDERATION
THAT'S BEEN THEIR GOAL AND THERE
HAS BEEN A LEARNING CURVE BUT IT
WORKED WE'VE GOTTEN BETTER AND
WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE- YEAH
RICH HERE IS ALREADY IN PLACE
THE TO THE NETWORKS OF TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE NONPROFITS. REYES
PARTNERS TO HELP GET THE WORD
OUT AND SO WE'RE- WE WOULD BE
EXCITED BECAUSE WE THINK THERE'S
A- THERE'S BEEN. SUCH A NETWORK
BUILT UP THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED
HER. I BELIEVE THAT I HAD ASKED
IN A PREVIOUS HEARING AND
FORGIVE ME IF THERE WAS SHARED
AND I'LL JUST ASK AGAIN. IF WE
CAN PUT YOU CAN PROVIDE A LIST
OF ALL THE- NOT OFFICE
STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY GROUPS
THAT YOU POTENTIALLY WORK IN OUR
WORK WITH. THE CAN HELP WITH
THIS PROGRAM AND OUTREACH
EFFORTS. I APPRECIATE THAT ALL I
CAN I CAN GET BACK TO YOU- I
DON'T WE HAVE NOT SHARE THAT
SENSE- MY APOLOGIES IF THAT WAS-
MISTAKE BUT BUT ESSENTIALLY WE
CAN ALL GET BACK TO YOU. GREAT
THANK YOU- AND MOST RECENTLY I
WAS REALLY ALARMED. TO HEAR THE
PROPOSAL WHICH WAS LATER
WITHDRAWN. TO FUND INSTACART
WITH A CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX
SUBSIDY. DOES THE GOVERNOR'S NEW
CAL COMPETES PACKAGE INCLUDE
PROVISIONS TO FOCUS THE
SUBSIDIES ON COMPANIES. WITH
STRONG LABOR COMPLIANCE
INCLUDING. PROPERLY CLASSIFYING
WORKERS AVOIDING WAITSTAFF AND
COMPLYING WITH OSHA STANDARDS.
SIR GOBIZ DEFINITELY IGNORE ALL
AGES THE CONCERN- WE KNOWLEDGE
AND HAVE- HEARD AND TALKED
CLOSELY WITH. SPECIFICALLY ON
THE ASSEMBLY SITE IN GENERAL THE
LEGISLATIVE. FOLKS THAT WE'VE
BEEN PARTNERING WITH SO WE
ACKNOWLEDGE AND HAVE- THOUGHT
CLOSELY ABOUT THIS INTERNALLY.
BEAT THE PACKAGE WE ARE PUTTING
FORWARD FOR KHALKHIN PETE'S.
DOES NOT HAVE A NEW. FRAMEWORK
OF ANY SORT TO THE PROGRAM
ITSELF IN TERMS OF WHO IS
ELIGIBLE TO APPLY OTHER SOME
OTHER TWEAKS I TO THE PROGRAM OR
PROPOSING THAT ARE NOT RELATED
TO THE INSTACART. SPECIFICALLY
BUT WE HAVE HEARD THE CONCERNS
WE'VE- WE'VE BEEN PROCESSING
INTERNALLY AND WE ARE YOU KNOW
ESSENTIALLY I THINK THAT IT'S A
- IT'S NOTED AND- ON OUR RADAR
HERE. I'M GLAD THAT IS BEING
NOTED BUT IF I AM GOING TO BE
JUST SPECIFICALLY VERY CLEAR.
THE LEGISLATURE SPECIFICALLY
THIS SUBCOMMITTEE WOULD NOT BE
IN AGREEMENT WITH CAL COMPETE
SUBSIDIES GOING TO COMPANIES
THAT DO NOT HAVE STRONG LABOR
PROTECTIONS COOL MISCLASSIFIED
WORKERS AND WERE PART OF A LARGE
A LARGER CONVERSATION RELATED TO
WAIT WAIT STAFF AND NON
COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA. SO I HOPE
THAT THAT CLEAR IN THE DIRECTION
OF ANY TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
MOVING FORWARD. DEFINITELY HEARD
LOUD AND CLEAR SUB APPRECIATE
THAT THANK YOU- MISS WICKS YOU
WANTED TO GO BACK AND HAVE A
CONVERSATION- QUESTION ON
HOUSING YEAH AN APOLOGIES FOR.
GOING BACK AND FORTH HERE- I
BELIEVE WHEN I WAS OUT I THINK
ELIADE SUGGESTED- INVESTING IN
MULTI YEAR FUNDING- I WAS NOT IN
THE ROOM NOW SO I WAS TOLD THAT
BUT I HOPE THAT'S THE CASE- IF
SO I AGREE- AND I JUST WANTED TO
ASK D. O. F. YOU KNOW IF YOU ALL
AGREE WITH. THE PREMISE THAT WE
NEED SOME SORT OF ON GOING
FUNDING TO TACKLE THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS IN THE STATE. AND
IF SO WOULD YOU HAVE A
RECOMMENDATION A VIABLE PATH FOR
THAT ONGOING FUNDING. SO I.
ADDED MORE BROADLY THE BUDGET IS
YOU KNOW PRECARIOUSLY BALANCED-
IT WITH THE CONSIDERATION OF OUT
YOUR SPENDING BY I BELIEVE IT
THAT NUMBER WAS IS LIKE NINETY
SOMETHING 9597% OF THE FINDING.
IS IN ONE TIME- INVESTMENTS SO I
DON'T THINK THE COMMITMENT FOR
ONGOING FUNDING FOR HOUSING
PROGRAM IS SOMETHING THAT. IS
WITHIN THAT THAT LARGER
BUDGETARY FRAMEWORK. BUT
DEFINITELY IF YOUR QUESTION IS
MORE OF HOW WE CAN DISTRIBUTE.
THE HOUSING FUNDING. UNLOCKS THE
YEARS I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY
SOMETHING THAT WERE OPEN TO
HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THE
LEGISLATURE ON. HOW TO STRUCTURE
THAT. AND IF NOT THEN ON GOING
WHAT ABOUT A SORT OF DEFINED
APPEARED OF TIME TO GIVE THIS A
LONG ENOUGH RUNWAY TO REALLY
SERVE TACKLE THE PROBLEM. YEAH I
MEAN AGAIN I WOULD JUST SAY IT
OPENED OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE LEGISLATURE ON ON HOW
TO STRUCTURE THAT FUNDING. OKAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU MISS WICKS
LET'S MOVE ON TOWARDS EDT. I

THAT WE HAVE IN THE JAN TEN PER
PROPOSAL. FOR MAINTAINING THE
SUPPORT THAT WE'VE USED OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS SOME OF THESE
WILL EVENTUALLY MERGE INTO EDT
NEXT- BUT FOR EXAMPLE FOR THE
TIME BEING WE STILL NEED THINGS
LIKE ACCENTURE TO COMPLETE. SOME
OF THE CSA RECOMMENDATIONS- WE
ALSO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
MODERNIZE AT THE SAME TIME WE
CALL IT CARILLO MODERNIZATION-
TO BE PREPARED FOR A RECESSION
OR- SOME SORT OF AN UNEMPLOYMENT
SEARCH- OF COURSE CONSISTENT
WITH THE CS AT EIGHT AND STRIKE
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS- JUST TO
SORT OF WRAP IT UP SOME OF
THESE. VENDORS WILL LIKELY BE
REPLACED AS WE ROLL OUT YOU'D
NEXT- WERE FINISHING UP THE CSA
CSA RECOMMENDATIONS AS THE COMPS
COMMITTEE IS AWARE- AND AT SOME
POINT THESE THINGS WILL MERGE I
YOU KNOW BASICALLY THE VENDOR
BCPS FROM JAN TEN. ARE TO TAKE
CARE OF WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW
AND EDT NEXT IS FOR THE FUTURE
AND FOR THE TOMORROW OF EDT.
WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
WE'VE AFTER THE BCPS PROBABLY
THE NEXT THREE YEARS AS MOST OF
THIS WILL PROBABLY BE ROLLED
INTO EDT NEXT. ENTER VERY I AM
SORRY I MISSED THE ANSWER BUT-
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE IMPACT TO
THE VENDOR PROPOSALS THAT WERE
INCLUDED IN THE JANUARY BUDGET
IF ANY AT ALL- SO EASY THE NEXT
EATING NEXT IS A SEPARATE
PROPOSAL THAN THE JAN TEN
PROPOSAL SO WE NEED TO JAN TEN
PROPOSALS TO MOVE WHAT WE'RE
DOING. NOW YOU KNOW I'M
UPDATING- LANGUAGE ACCESS YOU
KNOW SOME OF THE- SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN JAN
TEN THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING OVER
THE PANDEMIC TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE READY. FOR A RECESSION
BECAUSE EDT NEXT AS A FIVE YEAR
PROJECT. AND SO WE THAT'S WITH
THOSE BCPS FOR THREE YEARS TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO GAP.
IN IN SOME OF THE MODERNISATIONS
THAT WE'RE DOING. EBS TWO EDT
NEXT BEING FULLY IMPLEMENTED. Q.
AND WHAT IS THE TOTAL
ANTICIPATED COST OF THE
MODERNIZATION PROJECT. SO IT'S
I'M SORRY CHRIS DID YOU WANNA GO
FOR A HER JOURNAL SO YEAH. SO
THAT TOTAL- THE TOTAL PROJECTED
AMOUNT IS ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE MILLION FOR ONE TIME
COSTS WHICH IS IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE ROADMAP OVER A FIVE YEAR
PERIOD THERE ARE OTHER COSTS
THAT ARE- SEVERAL YEARS OF
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TO
SUPPORT EDT NEXT DURING THAT
FIVE YEAR PERIOD. THAT'S ABOUT
THREE HUNDRED MILLION SO IT'S
ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OVER A
BILLION DOLLARS. TOTAL THANK YOU
THANK YOU YOU KNOW I'D- THERE
ARE MOMENTS IN THIS COMMITTEE
WHERE I HEAR THE BILLION DOLLARS
YOU KNOW AND ABOVE AND IT'S SUCH
A JUST A JUST A MOMENT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS OUR- THE
CURRENT SITUATION WE FIND
OURSELVES AND RIDE IT MAY BE THE
ONLY. MOMENT THAT WE ALL LIVE
THROUGH WHERE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE SUMS THE SUMS OF
MONEY. SO THAT JUST. YOU KNOW
JUST A MOMENT OF REFLECTION
HERE. AT DIRECTOR VARIOUS HOW
MANY LANGUAGES ARE CURRENTLY
SUPPORTED BY EDT AND HOW MANY
ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ARE PLANNED
TO BE SUPPORTED THROUGH THE
CONVERSATION EFFORT. SO WE
CURRENTLY HAVE I BELIEVE SIX
LANGUAGES THAT HAVE DIRECT PHONE
LINES ANSWERED BY EDT STAFF.
THAT BASICALLY DOES NOT SPEAK
THOSE LANGUAGES WE ALSO HAVE A
LANGUAGE LINE. THAT PROVIDE
INTERPRETER SERVICES- IN OVER
ONE HUNDRED LANGUAGES- A LOT OF
THIS IS THANKS TO AB ONE THIRTY
EIGHT THIS COMMITTEE- WE ALL
REMEMBER THAT VERY WELL FROM
LAST YEAR THAT- AND WE'RE GONNA
CONTINUE. THE CALL CENTER
COURSE- AND I LANGUAGE ACCESS
AND EDT NEXT IS REALLY GOING TO
LEVERAGE THE CHANGES THAT WERE
MAKING RIGHT NOW PER AB ONE
THIRTY EIGHT WE ALSO HAD A-
MEDIATION- THAT SORT OF MERIT
ONE THIRTY EIGHT. SO GOING TO
LEVERAGE THOSE CHANGES THAT WERE
MAKING NOW- AND JUST BUILD UPON
THEM AT THE GOAL IS TO MAKE ALL
ENHANCEMENTS AVAILABLE TO
EVERYONE IN THEIR NATIVE
LANGUAGE. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE
OF MY PRIORITIES AS I THINK THIS
COMMITTEE- KNOWS WELL- AND I CAN
GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE DOING SOON IF YOU'D
LIKE OR LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANK
YOU DIRECTOR- INTERFERE HEARING
THIS COMMITTEE OUTLINED CONCERNS
WITH ID ME AND THE USE OF FACIAL
RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY. CAN YOU
PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON HOW
THE DEPARTMENT PLANS TO ADDRESS
THE PRIVACY. WHAT'S WITH ID ME
SO THEY DO NOT USE OF FACIAL
RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY UNLESS
THE CLAIMANT WANTS TO BASICALLY
SO THEY- NOW THE ALTERNATIVE IS
THAT YOU CAN USE A TRUSTED
REFEREE. WHEN YOU GO THROUGH ID
ME WHICH IS A LIVE PERSON ON THE
OTHER THING THAT- DELETING THE
SELFIE SO IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO
TAKE A SELFIE- NUMBER ONE THEY
ARE NO LONGER USING THE ONE TO
MANY RECOGNIZE FACIAL
RECOGNITION- SO IT'S ONE TO ONE-
I BELIEVE THAT IT'S CALLED. AND
ONCE YOU TAKE A SELFIE AND
UPLOAD IT- ID NY IT WILL DELETE
THEM- RIGHT RIGHT AFTER THEY ARE
APPROVED BASICALLY. SO IT WAS IT
WAS THAT I MENTIONED THAT THE
IRS ALSO ASKED FOR THE SAME.
SAME THINGS FOR MY TEAMMATES. SO
I BELIEVE THOSE ARE THREE
CHANGES TO THE IDB PROGRAM THE
DELETION OF THE SELFIE BEING A
REFEREE- S. LIVE PERSON
INDIVIDUAL AND THE FIRST ONE
THAT YOU MENTIONED. THAT ONE TOO
MANY. THAT WAS THE STAR OF SORT
OF SOME CONTENTION ABOUT- ID ME
USING PHOTOS AGAINST OTHER
PHOTOS OF PEOPLE BUT THEY LONGER
DO THAT GOT IT OKAY. THANK YOU

DID I MEAN WITHOUT KNOWING IT IN
DETAIL I MEAN I AM AN ATTORNEY
AFTER ALL. ABOUT THE LAST YEAR
WE TALKED ABOUT SO FOUR FEATURED
ON THE SAME TOPIC. AND WE NEVER
HEARD ANYTHING FROM ANYONE ABOUT
THAT. SO FINANCE. I DON'T THINK
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A POSITION
ON THAT AT THIS TIME ASSET
FORFEITURE OKAY THIS IS THE
PEOPLE'S MONEY THAT'S WHAT IT
COMES DOWN TO AND FOLKS ARE OUT
THERE THAT THAT STOLE THIS MONEY
ILLEGALLY AND THEY'RE OF AVENUES
TO RECOUP THAT MONEY BUT MISSED
I'M I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY CURRENT
LAW THAT ALLOWS FOR THAT. OR OR
DARE DISALLOWS THAT I'M NOT
FAMILIAR WITH WITH THE CURRENT
LAW ON THAT BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING
FOR THE POSITION ON WHERE WE
WOULD BE AT IF LEGISLATION WERE
TO SPECIFY THAT I DON'T THINK AT
THIS TIME WE HAVE A POSITION
BUT- OKAY. I BELIEVE THERE WAS
LEGISLATION THIS YEAR ON THAT
SAME TOPIC. AND I MEAN I CAN SAY
WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
TO GET EVERY DIME BACK THAT WE
CAN SOWE WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK
AT THAT. IT'S OKAY THANK YOU.
WE'RE GONNA- JUST A QUICK
QUESTION I WANT I'D LIKE TO GO
BACK ON THE ENCAMPMENTS FOR JUST
A BIT. HOW TO THE IN CAMPING
GROUNDS IN NEW HOMELESSNESS
PROGRAM ELPS YOUTH HOMELESSNESS
AND HOW CAN WE BEST ADVOCATE FOR
YOUTH. HOUSING AT THE MOMENT.
BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO- VICTOR
AT KELLY C. H. I. WOULD JUST
KNOW I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING SPECIFIC IN THE CAN'T
MAKE GRANTS THAT SETS ASIDE OR
DOES ANYTHING SPECIFIC FOR
YOUTH. I WILL SAY I AND I THINK
YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH THAT
HOME HE DOES HAVE A SET ASIDE.
FOR A REQUIREMENT. FOR YOUTH
HOUSING AND I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT THERE'S A SET ASIDE IN THE
HOT FUNDING. FOR YOUTH- AS WELL
BUT VICTOR IS THERE ANYTHING
SPECIFIC IN THE PLANS FOR THE
AND CAN'T MAKE GRANTS- FOR YOUTH.
EXCUSE ME THAT'S THE SUBJECT
AGAIN DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR
HOUSING FROM B. C. S. H. VICTOR
HAD TO STEP AWAY FOR A MOMENT IF
WE COULD COME BACK TO THIS- BUT
I. APPRECIATE WHAT CHRIS COOK
SHARED ABOUT THE FOCUS WITHIN
THE HUNKY PROGRAM THAT'S FOR
TRANSITION AGE YOUTH AND THAT
SET ASIDE IS ALREADY SHOWING
SHOWN A LOT OF- BENEFIT- IN THAT
WE'RE FUNDING TRANSITION AGED
YOUTH UNITS- AND REALLY FOCUSING
ON THAT COMPONENT. I'M VICTOR
ARE YOU BACK ON YET. APOLOGIES
CARE AND YES YOU KNOW WE'RE JUST
HOLDEN LITERALLY TWO DIFFERENT
PLACES RIGHT NOW TO APPRECIATE
YOUR NOT PRETENDING HE'S- TRYING
TO GET BACK IN. NOT A PROBLEM
I'M HAPPY TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT
AND THE TWO GUYS COMMUNICATE
WHEN HE'S BACK AND WE CAN
REVISIT THE QUESTION. OUT WE CAN
GO AT THIS TIME TO A QUESTION I
HAVE ON KELLY ATC. SO REALLY
GLAD TO SEE THE TEN MILLION AND
ONGOING FUNDING BUT- NOT ENOUGH
WONDERING IF THERE'S- A SOMEONE
THAT CAN SPEAK ON. THE NEED
TOWARDS- THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED
IN THIS COMMITTEE BEEN A FOR.
TOWARDS OUTREACH PLANS- THAT
ACTUALLY BENEFIT. THE ABILITY
FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BECOME I TEND
TAX HOLDERS AND THEREFORE GET
OPPORTUNITIES. TO BE ABLE TO
APPLY FOR KELLY ITC. RIGHT SO
BEFORE I ASK ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES FROM F. T. B. THE
JUMP ON AS NOTED THAT- IN THE L.
A. WAS TESTIMONY THERE IS ALSO-
OUT REACH FUNDING AT F. T. B. TO
DO THEIR OWN- INTERNAL KELLY AT
ATC OUR REGION I THINK I NOTED
IN MY OVERVIEW- THERE IS A
DEDICATED STAFF AT- FTV. TO DO
OUTREACH AND THAT IS IN ADDITION
TO THE TEN MILLION AS AS YOU
JUST MENTIONED THAT FOR THE ON
GOING FUNDING SO THE THERE HAS
BEEN- OKAY. CONCERNS SHARED FROM
THE ADVOCATES THAT THE ONE TIME
NATURE OF THOSE OUTREACH FUNDS
AREN'T CONDUCIVE TO YOU KNOW
PLANNING WITH LOCALS AND THAT
THE CONTRACT AWARDS AND SO. OUR
HOPE IS THAT NOW THAT THE
FUNDING IS ON GOING THAT THERE
IS A IS A ESTABLISHED A NETWORK
OF THAT OUTREACH AND TAX
PREPARATION FOR INDIVIDUALS. TO
PROVIDE- INCREASED AWARENESS AND
BENEFIT TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS BUT
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE FROM FDB
HAS ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADD
UP. AT FRONT AT OXFORD YES SIR.

WITH ON FOR OF DURING THE COURSE
THE STUDY I HOW TO INCREASE THE
OF THE I. THAT'S OF THE COPS

FOR THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED. IS
THAT YES ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE IN
HOUSE IN ORDER TO. REACH THE
FILERS AND NON FILERS. SO IN
LOOKING. AT THE DATA THAT WE
HAVE FOR FOLKS WHO FILED. BUT

NUMBER OF TAX FILERS. THANK L.
FOR THE QUESTION- TAKE LONG
ENOUGH TO BE SO WE ARE IN OUR
FOLLOW AND UNFOLLOW ALTHOUGH WE
ARE ESTIMATING A 5% RESPONSE
RATE- THE AVAIL NOTED. THE
RESPONSE RATE COULD BE HAS BEEN
VERY LOW TRADITIONALLY- HOWEVER
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE POPULATION
OF FOR EXAMPLE LET'S LOOK AT
THAT ON TOP. OF THE- NINE
HUNDRED THOUSAND I DON'T OUT
BEACH TO. WEAR INTO GETTING
ALMOST STRAIGHT UP. HOUSE YOU
KNOW WE'RE HAVING- I'M HAVING A
HARD HEARING YOU LET'S CAN WE
TRY MAYBE TAKING OFF THE VIDEO
AND JUST HEARING- JUST HEARING
YOU THE LAST I HEARD WAS NINE
HUNDRED THOUSAND NON FILERS. YES
THE WE'VE IDENTIFIED NINE
HUNDRED- DOT NON FILERS- BUT WE
CLING OUTREACH TO- RESPONSE RATE
THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT- IT. I
ALSO TO CHECK THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ANSWER EARLIER QUESTION ABOUT
HOW ARE WE MEASURING I'M SUCCESS
I THINK WE DID DISCUSS THIS LAST
TIME- OUR VITAL. IS THAT WE ARE
WORKING- AND HAVEN'T SPECIAL
PROGRAMS- IN ORDER TO PUT THE
METRICS SUCH AS THE PLACE ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING
AT IS- OUR GRANTEES ARE LOOKING
AT REALLY. THE POPULATION WAS
CARTONING USING OUR BY OUR
BUSINESS DAY. FOUR THREE. TO IT
. SO AVERAGE. ACT IN ORDER. TO
NUMBER. THANK YOU FOR THE
RESPONSE FOR JUST DOING SOME
QUICK MATH 5% OF NINE HUNDRED
THOUSAND IT'S FORTY FIVE
THOUSAND. BUT WHICH IS A
SIGNIFICANT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
- LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW
THAT'S GONNA WORK OUT MISTER
LUCKY TO HAVE A COMMENT YEAH. I
HAD A FOLLOW UP QUESTION WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE ABOUT- MY
COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS ON THE
NEUTRALITY THAT. POSITION THAT
YOU SEEM TO TAKE ON THE ASSET
RECOVERY- QUESTION THERE'S A
BULLET POINT IN HERE THAT SAYS
THAT THERE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. BEING REQUESTED
ANNUALLY ON THE TWENTY TWENTY TO
TWENTY THREE AND TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR FOR THREE POSITIONS
DEDICATED TO ASSET RECOVERY
PROCESS. SO WHY THE NEUTRAL
POSITION. YEAH I THINK I WASN'T
FAMILIAR WITH THE SPECIFIC
LEGISLATION IF ASSEMBLYMEMBER
COOPER WAS REFERRING TO
SPECIFIC- THAT LEGISLATION- AND
MAYBE JUST NOT MY FAMILIARITY
WITH- THOSE THOSE RESOURCES THAT
ARE BEING PROPOSED. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER IT'S NANCY FROM IT FROM
EDT YEAH AS I AS I MENTIONED I
MEAN WE ARE 1100% DEDICATED TO
ASSET RECOVERY- THERE'S ALREADY
RESTITUTION WHEN SOMEONE IS
PROSECUTED. YOU KNOW AND WE ARE
. THERE I SEE NO SITUATION WHERE
WE WOULDN'T GO AFTER ASSETS-
WHEN WE FELT WHEN THEY ARE
FOUND- SO IF I DON'T ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION I DON'T THINK WE ARE WE
ARE WE CAN SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ON
THE LEGISLATION BUT GENERALLY.
CORRECT THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE IN
OUR B. C. P. AND THAT IS FOR
ASSET RECOVERY AND WE PLAN ON
GOING AFTER MIGHT THE PREVIOUS
DOCTOR SAID AND I WILL SAY IT WE
PLAN ON GOING AFTER EVERY DIME
THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY GET IT NO
MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. IT'S
MORE COURAGE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU MISTER LUCKY YES AND CHAIR I
BELIEVE. MY COLLEAGUE FROM-
KELLY C. H. IS BACK ONLINE TO
ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION. ON YOUR
COMMON SENSE. ON YOUTH. YES
SEVENTH ST THAT THE SET ASIDE IF
THERE'S ANY IN. ANY CLOSELY FOR
VICTOR. THANKS SO MUCH AND-
WEBER LET ME TRY. JUST WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING. SO VICTOR I
BELIEVE THE WAS- IF I MAJOR I
BELIEVE THE QUESTION WAS IS
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE AND CAN'T
MAKE GRANTS IF THERE'S ANYTHING-
EARMARKED OR SET ASIDE FOR TO
ADDRESS YOUTH HOMELESSNESS AND
MY AND MY RESPONSE WAS I DON'T
BELIEVE THERE'S ANYTHING
SPECIFIC BUT IF MAYBE YOU COULD
ELABORATE ON WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN
THE A CAP MEANT- PROPOSALS THAT
HAVE BEEN TARGETED TOWARDS YOU.
THAT'S WHERE THE QUESTION WAS
ABOUT THE ENCAMPMENTS BETTING
ENCAMPMENTS YES THANK YOU.
ABSOLUTELY SO- HE HAS CURRENTLY
AS CURRENTLY DESIGNED THE NEXT
GENERATION OF INCOME AND
RESOLUTION GRANT WOULDN'T HAVE A
SPECIFIC SET ASIDE FOR YOU-
HOWEVER ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT IN OUR
PROPOSALS. IN BOTH THE FIRST
ITERATION AND THIS NEXT
ITERATION WILL BE UP- PROPOSALS
THAT LOOK AT COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED
I'M OF COURSE USE BEING ONE OF
THOSE COMMUNITIES I'M AND OTHER
COMPONENTS AROUND EQUITY AS
WELL- ALTHOUGH I WOULD ALSO
SHARE THAT ALL OF OUR- FLEXIBLE
. PRO WHICH ARE KNOWN AS HAPPY
HABIT YOUTHS ASIDE AND THAT
WOULD SET ASIDE HAS BEEN
INCREASING WITH EACH GENERATION-
IN FACT THE LATEST ROUNDS OF CAP
REQUIRED THAT TEN PERCENT. OF
THE BLOCK GRANTS E UTILIZED
SPECIFICALLY FOR SERVICES. FOR
YOUTH AND I JUST- BECAUSE THAT
INCIDENTALLY SIR IF YOU BUT THAT
ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE
FOR THE NEEDS OF USE AND SO AS
WE LOOK AT HALF THREE AND A HALF
FOR AND THE LOCAL ACTION
PLANNING. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE WILL BE LOOKING AT IS HOW ARE
THEY LEVERAGING OTHER PROGRAMS
THAT COME ONLINE- IN
IMPLEMENTING THOSE LOCAL ACTION
PLANS FOR HAPPENED THAT'LL OF
COURSE INCLUDE HOW ARE THEY
LEVERAGING THE ENCAMPMENT
RESOLUTION GRANT AND WILL THERE
BE ANY SYNERGY THERE BETWEEN.
THE US SATISFIED INDIAN CAPTAIN
RESOURCES. ARE GOING TO BE
COMING ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR
THE- FOR THE RESPONSE. WE'VE HAD
SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH-
HOMELESS YOUTH. WHO LIVE IN
ENCAMPMENTS. AS WELL AS FOSTER
YOU WHO FIND THEMSELVES LIKE IN
THIS LIMBO SPACE OF TRYING TO.
YOU KNOW. FIGURE OUT WHAT THEIR
LIVES GOING. LIFE GOING TO LOOK
LIKE AN END UP OFTEN TIMES- FUND
HOUSE. SO I. I'D BE CURIOUS TO
KNOW. WHY ONLY. WHY IS THE FOCUS
ONLY ON HALF FUNDING AND
POTENTIALLY NOT HAVING FUNDING
FOR THAT NEXT YEAR. I WANT TO
GET MYSELF CONFUSED WITH ALL THE
PROPOSALS THAT WERE. CURRENTLY
LOOKING AT I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE'S A CONVERSATION
ABOUT YOUTH HOUSING- AND YOUTH
ENCAMPMENTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
NO ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THE
QUESTION AND- YOU KNOW SOMETHING
WE WILL TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT LIKE
I SAID WE'VE BEEN REQUIRED A
YOUTH SET ASIDE ALL OF OUR OTHER
PROGRAMS- AND IN FACT WE WILL BE
LOOKING AT THE EFFICACY OF THOSE
PROGRAMS. THAT SET ASIDE AS WELL
. THANK YOU MISTER LUCKY. YEAH
MY QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH- THE
CALVET INITIATIVE AND THE- I
DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO
ANSWER MY QUESTION BUT- THERE'S
OBVIOUSLY IF I'M LOOKING THIS
CORRECTLY FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
OF A ONE TIME FUNDING THAT WILL
BE GOING TO THIS INITIATIVE TO
SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AND
SUICIDE AWARENESS WHICH IS
CLEARLY. AN IMPORTANT
DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS HOWEVER-
HOW TO RURAL AREAS COMPETE FOR
THESE FUNDS AND HOW WILL WE BE
ASSURED THAT THEY ARE JUST-
CLUSTERED IN URBAN REGIONS. TIM
WEBER DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE I
BELIEVE WE SOME FROM CAVAN WHEN
THEY CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
SURE GOOD AFTERNOON THANKS FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK UP
CALIFORNIA BETTER HEALTH
INITIATIVE. OF THE GRANTS WILL
BE DISTRIBUTED STRATEGICALLY-
FOCUSING ON THEM HE BOTH
INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE. WE WILL
TARGET DIVERSE BETTER
POPULATIONS. GEOGRAPHICALLY BOTH
IN RURALAND URBAN SETTINGS AS
WELL AS VETERANS OF ALL AGES
SERVICE TYPE OF SERVICE
DISCHARGED STATUS DISABILITY
RATING AND SO ON. SO AS YOU
KNOW- RURAL AREAS TEND TO HAVE A
HARDER TIME THAT COMMUNITY BASED
SYSTEM CARE IS GENERALLY NOT IS
STRONG IN THOSE AREAS SO TO
STAND UP PROGRAMS IT OFTEN.
TAKES A LOT MORE EFFORT ON CAL
THAT'S PART AS WELL AS WORKING
CLASS VERY CLOSE TO THAT
COMMITTEE BASSIST MARK KERR WE
SIMILAR TO THE WAY WE STRUCTURED
IN THE VETERAN HOUSING THE
HOMELESS PREVENTION PROGRAM. TO
GET DEVELOPMENTS FOR THAT
PROGRAM INTO RURAL AREAS THERE'S
A LOT OF LEG WORK ON OUR END IN-
ACTING THAT LOCAL. MANY BASIS TO
OF CARE. AND HELPING THEM. STAND
UP THE STRUCTURE IDENTIFY THEIR
PARTNERS IN BUILDING NINETEEN
WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY TO. TO
PROVIDE SUCH EFFORTS.
ADDITIONALLY WITH THIS PROGRAM
THE IDEA OF IT ALSO. IS TO FOR
THOSE AGENCIES WITHIN. EIGHT
MORE OWNERS LIKE SAN DIEGO FOR
INSTANCE TO REACH OUT TO
IMPERIAL COUNTY OR OR FOLKS IN
THE SACRAMENTO AREA TO REACH OUT
FURTHER UP NORTH THERE IS
ADDITIONAL EFFORT WILL BE
ADDITIONAL EFFORT UNDER WAY TO
COORDINATE AND CONNECTING THOSE
COMMUNITIES TOGETHER. ON INFILL
MORMON NETWORK OF CARE
ADDITIONALLY WILL BE PROPOSED
THE BE CERTAIN PARTS OF THE
FUNDING THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY
FOR TELE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL. ALSO
ASSIST IN FILLING SOME OF THAT
GAP THAT- COULD BE AN OBVIOUSLY
FROM A MORE URBAN SETTING. OKAY
MY FEAR IS THAT- THE DIFFICULT
THAT YOU'VE DESCRIBED. AWFULLY
EQUATES TO DENIAL. AND THAT'S
WHAT I STILL FAIR AND I HOPE
THAT- MY FEARS ARE. NOT
JUSTIFIED AND THAT YOU ACTUALLY
WILL MAKE AN EQUITABLE OUT
REACH. TO THESE I KNOW IT'S MORE
DIFFICULT BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE DESERVING
OF THEIR- OF THEIR SUPPORT IT'S
NOT FAIR. FOR THEM TO BE DENIED
JUST BECAUSE IT'S MORE DIFFICULT
TO DISTRIBUTE THE FUNDS SO I'M
HOPING THAT- YOU GUYS WILL TAKE
US A- THIS REQUEST- SINCERELY
THANK YOU. YES SIR AND THAT AND
THAT'S AGAIN THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE FEEL VERY PASSIONATELY
ABOUT AS WELL AND THERE ARE
OTHER PROGRAMS MUCH OF WHETHER
BECAUSE SUPPORT ARE ANY VETERAN
SERVICE OFFICERS WHO ARE
SUBVENTION FUNDING IN THAT
PARTNERSHIP- WE ALWAYS DEVELOP A
WAY TO- SHOULD SHARE THAT NEED
IS ALSO ADDRESSED IN THOSE MORE
RURAL COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU
MUCH APPRECIATE THAT WE WILL
SOON BE GOING TO PUBLIC COMMENT-
MY LAST SET OF QUESTIONS- BEFORE
WE DO THAT OUR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT SO I JUST. SHERA A
FEW QUESTIONS CAN THE
ADMINISTRATION PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM PROPOSED
UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ONE. WHAT
TYPES OF APPRENTICESHIPS WILL BE
SUPPORTED TO. POWER THE
DEPARTMENT ENSURE UNDER
REPRESENTED COMMUNITIES CAN
LEARN AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
PROGRAM THREE QUESTIONS. GREAT
RISK UP FRONT PART IN FINANCE
AND I DON'T. OKAY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM DEPARTMENT OF
GENERALIZATIONS WILL JUMP ON IN
THE SECTOR EXPAND A LITTLE BIT
MORE ON THE PRINCIPLES OF BUT-
AS SHE'S PREPARING I WOULD JUST
SAY THEIR PARTNERSHIPS- IS.
PROPOSING THAT PRINTER PROPOSALS
IS- IT TO EXPAND NONTRADITIONAL
PRINCES IN AREAS SUCH AS LIKE
FARM AND RANCH COMPUTER SCIENCE
SOFTWARE IT COMPUTER SUPPORT
AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING AND
HEALTH CARE. AND MY COLLEAGUE

AFTERNOON AND- I'M HAPPY TO.
ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS HERE
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT
MORE CONTEXT ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
INNOVATION FUNDING. WAS
MENTIONED BY CHRIS THAT BETTER
IDEA HERE IS TO BE EXPANDING.
NEW ALKA APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
TO SCALE TO SERVE MORE EMPLOYERS
AND MORE APPRENTICES AND
ULTIMATELY. TO ADVANCE MORE
QUICKLY TOWARDS THE GOAL OF
SERVING FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
APPRENTICES BY TWENTY TWENTY
NINE. SO WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO
LAUNCH AN APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM. IT REALLY IT'S
NECESSARY TO HAVE A CONVENING
FORCE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER ALL
THE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS AND
PARTNERS NEEDED TO CREATE A
PROGRAM. INCLUDING EMPLOYERS
EDUCATORS OF COURSE APPRENTICES-
AND SOMETIMES ALSO WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARDS OR COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS. AND WE
REALLY NEED THAT CONVENING FORCE
TO BRING THOSE PARTNERS TOGETHER
TO DESIGN REGISTER. AND LAUNCH A
PROGRAM SO THE TRADITIONAL
APPRENTICESHIPS SCIENCE IN THE
C. A. C. FIVE IN THE BUILDING
AND THE FIRE TRADES. OFTEN THIS
CONVENING ROLE IS PLAYED BY A
UNION. BUT AS WE LOOK TO TRY TO
EXPAND APPRENTICESHIPS TO LOTS
OF DIFFERENT SECTORS. WHO PLAYS
THIS CONVENING ROLE CAN LOOK A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN
DIFFERENT CONTEXTS WE CALL THIS
CONVENING ROLE AN APPRENTICESHIP
INTERMEDIARY. AND REALLY WHAT WE
WANT TO BE DOING WITH THE
SUBCONSCIOUS IN ADDITION.
FUNDING IS TO BE. OR TOWARDS THE
SYSTEM. AGREES FOR THESE PRINTER
SHOULD TO MEET AND ALL WE WANT
TO BE. A WHOLE. OF THESE
APPRENTICESHIP INTERMEDIARIES SO
TO YOUR QUESTION- I DON'T YOU
KNOW WHO ARE THE POTENTIAL
RECIPIENTS OF THIS PROGRAM- AS
YOU KNOW AS I'VE TALKED ABOUT I
ACCURATE APPRENTICESHIPS WHAT
THAT MEANS IS. APPRENTICESHIPS
IN ALL SECTORS THAT ARE NOT THE
BUILDING PRIOR TRADES SO THAT
INCLUDES HEALTH CARE EARLY CARE
AND EDUCATION TAX CYBER SECURITY
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PUBLIC
SECTOR TRANSPORTATION. I COULD
GO ON BUT BASICALLY EVERY SECTOR
THAT'S NOT THE BUILDING AND FIRE
TRAINS- AND SO THIS. INVESTMENT
IS INTENDED TO REALLY CULTIVATE
MORE PROGRAMS AND PROGRAMS TO BE
ABLE TO SCALE MORE- SERVE MORE
APPRENTICES IN SECTORS SUCH AS
TO GIVE YOU A FEW. CONCRETE
EXAMPLES OF WHO COULD BE
POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS OF THE FUND
- ONE EXAMPLE IS THERE'S A GROUP
CALLED THE LAUNCH APPRENTICESHIP
NETWORK WHICH IS IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE. AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE
OF A REGIONAL APPRENTICESHIP
INTERMEDIARY SO THEY HAVE THEY
ALREADY HAVE OCCUPATIONS
REGISTERED IN AUTOMOTIVE HEALTH
CARE T. MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY
CHAIN EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION
SO THEY ARE A REGIONAL
INTERMEDIARY THAT'S SERVING
MULTIPLE OCCUPATIONS. I'M A
DIFFERENT KIND OF EXAMPLE IS WE
HAVE A PROGRAM WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONAL HEALTH
CARE SERVICES AND SEIU LOCAL ONE
THOUSAND. AND BAND HAVE CREATED
A PATHWAY FOR LICENSED
VOCATIONAL NURSES TO BECOME
REGISTERED NURSES AND THIS
PROGRAM IS PHENOMENAL IT HAS 75%
WOMEN 80% OF MINORITIES AND-
THROUGH THAT PROGRAM THEY MORE
THAN DOUBLED THEIR WAGES THEY GO
FOR MAKING FORTY TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR TO OVER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR SO THIS
IS. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT WOULD BE
ABLE. TO SCALE- WITH THIS
FUNDING SOME OTHER EXAM. IS- WHY
IN THIS HOW WHICH IS OUT OF. HAS
AND- DEVELOP UPON PRO. SAN
JOAQUIN COUNTY SCHOOL
APPRENTICESHIPS IS ANOTHER
PROGRAM WITH INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT SPECIALIST.
AND THAT PROGRAM ACTUALLY STARTS
IN HIGH SCHOOL SO I'M NOT
CERTAIN EXAMPLE ABOUT- AN EARLY
MOVER IN TERMS OF HIGH SCHOOL
AND YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP- AND
THEN I'VE ALSO MENTIONED THE
CALIFORNIA FARM ACADEMY
APPRENTICESHIPS THAT'S BEGINNING
FARM AND RANCH MANAGERS SO. THIS
IS JUST THAT A SET OF EXAMPLES
TO OFFER YOU THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTEEN REGISTERED
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS ALREADY
TODAY IN THIS AYE ACCESS SPACE
OF APPRENTICESHIP- BUT THAT. THE
MEAN NUMBER OF APPRENTICES IS
TWELVE SO WHAT THAT SHOULD TELL
YOU IS THAT WE HAVE PROOF OF
CONCEPT BUT THERE'S REALLY A
NEED TO SCALE AND AS WE'VE
TALKED TO THESE PROGRAMS THEY
REALLY IDENTIFIED. FUNDING FOR
THE ON GOING RUNNING AND
SOMETIMES THE TRAINING COSTS IN
ORDER TO SERVE MORE
PARTICIPANTS. SO THIS FUNDING
AIMS TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT
YOU'RE TO SCALING AND THEN-
FINALLY TO YOUR QUESTION AND
HOWEVER WE MAKING SURE THAT WERE
MAKING USE OPPORTUNITIES
AVAILABLE TO. UNDER REPRESENTED
POPULATIONS AND THOSE THAT HAVE
FACED BARRIERS. TO EMPLOYMENT-
AS WE TO APPRENTICESHIP AND NO.
IT'S IN OUR AND LEARN TALK. SO%
BY. THIS EARLY LEARN TO. INTO A
OF DIFFERENT CAREERS AND ARE
TRYING. WORKFRONT CREATE A MORE
ACT AND MORE ACCESSIBLE. ON RAMP
INTO A CAREER THAT'S THAT'S MORE
ACCESSIBLE TO WOMEN MINORITIES
JUSTICE INVOLVED. ALMOST FASTER
YOUTH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
AND REALLY OTHERS THAT FACE
DEGREE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT
AND I WILL SAY. PERSONALLY THIS
IS WHY I DO THIS WORK IS BECAUSE
I'M REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT
CREATING IS ON RAMPS INTO LOTS
OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR
ECONOMY. I'M AND INCLUDED IN
THIS YEAH- FUNDING THAT IS BEING
PROPOSED IF THE WHOLE COMPONENT
AROUND OUTREACH AND TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING
THESE PATHWAYS AVAILABLE. TO THE
FOLKS THAT REALLY NEED THEM THE
MOST AND- JUST I WILL SAY THAT
SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE WERE
ALREADY DOING THIS- WE ARE
ALREADY WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF BE ABILITY SHIN TO
ELEVATE DIFFERENT APPRENTICESHIP
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
POPULATIONS THAT THEY'RE
SERVING- ANOTHER WAY THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE. THESE PATHWAYS
MORE VISIBLE AND AVAILABLE IS BY
PARTNERING WITH WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARD SO. HERE YOU
GO DIAZ RECEIVED A TEN MILLION
DOLLAR DEAL WHILE GRANTS FOR
EXPANDING EQUITABLE
APPRENTICESHIPS. WE HAVE TURNED
AROUND AND DONE A SOLICITATION
FOR PROPOSALS. INVITED
COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN WORKFORCE
BOARDS AND THESE APPRENTICESHIP
INTERMEDIARIES AND WE JUST
ANNOUNCED THE RECIPIENTS OF
THOSE FRANCE ON MAY FOURTH AND
SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
BUILDING ON THOSE
COLLABORATIONS. SO THAT REALLY
ADDS WE'RE SCALING THESE IRAQ
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS THAT
WERE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
MAKING THEM AVAILABLE TO THOSE.
WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY
EXCLUDED. MUCH OF. THE DETAIL
RESPONSE AND I CAN I CAN TELL
THAT YOU ARE. INCREDIBLY ABOUT
THE WORK THAT YOU DO SO THANK
YOU FOR THAT MUCH NEEDED THEY
MENTIONED FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
NEW APPRENTICES BY TWENTY TWENTY
NINE THAT'S SEVEN YEARS THAT'S
ON AVERAGE. SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT
NEW APPRENTICES EVERY YEAR TO
MEET THAT GOAL YOU THINK THAT'S
FEASIBLE. PRESIDENT SO WE
CERTAINLY DID A LOT OF-
FORECASTING AND MODELING TO TRY
TO THINK ABOUT. WHAT WHAT WAS I
REQUEST FOR FUNDING THIS
PARTICULAR FUNDING REQUEST IS
FOR TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL BE
SPENT OVER THREE YEARS AND TWO
YEARS IS NOT SEVEN YEARS RIGHT.
MMHM SO THE IDEA HERE IS THAT WE
WANT TO BE DEMONSTRATING HOW
THIS NEW FUNDING MECHANISM WILL
INDEED HELP SCALE I AKA
APPRENTICESHIPS- SO RIGHT NOW
THERE'S ABOUT SIXTEEN THOUSAND I
ACT APPRENTICESHIPS AND WE WANT
TO BE DOUBLING NOT ROUGHLY BY
MAKING THIS INVESTMENTS OVER THE
COMING THREE YEARS- THAT WOULD
GET US ON THE RIGHT TRAJECTORY
TOWARD SERVING FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND APPRENTICES BY TWENTY
TWENTY NINE- BUT WE WANT TO
START WITH THIS INVESTMENT TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS IS GOING
TO PROVIDE A BRIDGE OF FUNDING.
THAT REALLY BROKE INTO THE KIND
OF SCALING UP IRAQ
APPRENTICESHIPS THAT THAT WE
WANT. TO BE MAKING AN- THANK YOU
AND JUST. UP TO US I NEED SOME.
WIRED THE- WHERE BUILDING TRADE
APPRENTICESHIPS NOT INCLUDED IN
THE PROPOSAL. GREAT QUESTION SO
ACTUALLY IN- IN THE MAY REVISED
THERE ARE TWO INVESTMENTS IN
APPRENTICESHIP GENERALLY ONE IS
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
IN SCALING I ACT THAT
APPRENTICESHIPS- BUT THERE'S
ALSO A PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THE
RELATED AND SUPPLEMENTAL
INSTRUCTION FUNDING WHICH IS TOP
NINETY EIGHT FUNDING- AND THIS
IS UTILIZED HEAVILY BY THE C. A.
C. PROGRAMS TO COVER THE
TRAINING COSTS. AND HISTORICALLY
THAT HAVE BEEN BENCHMARKS TO THE
NOT FOR CREDIT EDUCATION RATES
IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
AND- IN THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL IS
BEING PROPOSED TO BRING THAT UP
TO THE FOR CREDIT RATING AND
REALLY IT'S DEMONSTRATING HOW
MUCH WE VALUE APPRENTICESHIP
EDUCATION AND- WE REALLY WANT TO
BE CULTIVATING THE WHOLE
ECOSYSTEM OF APPRENTICESHIP AND
WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WITH THIS
OMBINED INVESTMENT THAT'S BEING
PROPOSED. THAT WILL BE- LIFTING
THE TITLE BUT IT'S RIGHT THAT
REALLY INVESTING BOTH AND- WELL
ESTABLISHED CA SEE PROGRAMS AND
ALSO SPARKING A WHOLE LOT BROKE
THE INDIA. AFTER PROGRAMS AS
WELL. THANK YOU FOR THAT. ONE
FINAL QUESTION FOR ME- FOR WE GO
TO PUBLIC COMMENT. THE MAY
REVISE INCLUDES TWENTY FOUR
MILLION FOR THE BUREAU OF POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION OVER THREE
YEARS TO SHORE UP THE BUREAU'S
FUNK- CONDITION. WHAT IS THE
PLAN TO CHANGE THE BUREAU FEE
STRUCTURE AND ARE THREE YARS
NEEDED TO REVISE THE FEES.
MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION. REPORTER PUT SECONDARY
EDUCATION PROVIDES OVERSIGHT OF
HAVE A CONFECTIONERY EDUCATION
INSTITUTION. WHAT IS THE NOBLE
INDUSTRY- WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO
DO AND THE AND THE COMING HERE
IT IS THINKING THANK YOU STUDY
AND A NEW APPROACH TO FIGURING
OUT HOW TO BEST FUNDING HE WILL
REGULATORY AGENCY. OR A PRIVATE
. I LOOKED AT A BROAD ARRAY OF
UNDENIABLE INTENSE AND THEN.
SORRY WE'RE A HARD HEARING YOU-
MAYBE IF WE TURNED OFF YOUR
MICROPHONE I'M SORRY YOUR VIDEO
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU.
STOP WHAT MICROPHONE A LITTLE
BIT CLOSER THAT'S MORE HELPFUL.
JUST KEEP GOING THEN WE'LL SEE.
OKAY GREAT THANK YOU. WHAT WE
WOULD LIKE TO DO IN THE COMING
YEARS IT IS- IT'S AFFECT THE
BROADER RANGE OF INDUSTRIES AND
WAYS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
STRONG ABLE OVERSIGHT. EVEN IN
INDUSTRY THAT FLUCTUATES OVER
TIME AS THE PRIVATE SECTOR
EDUCATION AND STRAIGHT FROM TO
DO. SO I'M IN TERMS THAT WE
BELIEVE A THREE YEAR TIMELINE
FOR THE GENERAL FUND PROPOSAL IS
ESSENTIAL TO SUPPORTING THE GOAL
OF ENSURING STRONG STABLE
OVERSIGHT OF THE INDUSTRY. THE
HIGH LEVEL TIMELINE TO EXPLAIN
WHY IS FIRST TO BE GROWTH SLATED
TO GO TO YOUR SUNSET REVIEW IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO THIS YEAR. WE
EXPECT AT THAT PROCESS MAY
RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO
THE CURRENT CHARGER
JURISDICTION. IN THE CHANGES
THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REFLECTED
IN NEW FUNDING APPROACH. SO THIS
. WOOD COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF
TWENTY TWO TWO. AND THEN THE
CHANGES LAW BE OFFERED AT THE
START TWENTY TWENTY THREE. EARLY
TWENTY TWENTY THREE THE BUREAU
BEGIN AND- CHANGES STEMMING FROM
SENATE THAT REVIEW PROCESS. AND
WE WOULD ALSO ENGAGE EXPERTS TO
DO THAT BROADER ANALYSIS
APPROACHES. WE ESTIMATE THAT
PROCESS WOULD CONCLUDE IN LATE
TWENTY TWENTY THREE BY EARLY
TWENTY TWENTY FOR THE BUREAU
WOULD HAVE A NEW FUNDING
PROPOSAL TO SHARE WITH
LEGISLATORS TO TURN STAKEHOLDERS
. BUT JEAN. IT SHOULD BE FINE
YOU MAY BE PASSED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND INTO LAW
INVOLVED FALSE TWENTY FOUR
EXACTLY GOING BACK TO TWENTY
FIVE THAT IS REALLY WHY WE
BELIEVE THREE YEARS NECESSARY
TIME YOU THE GOAL AT A ABLE
REGULATORS THE FACE. THANK YOU
MUCH. THAT AND IF THERE ARE NO
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS- I WANT TO THANK. ALL
OF YOU THAT PARTICIPATED IN-

RECEIVED. PASSED WRECKED
ALLOCATIONS AND HOPEFULLY
FUTURE. IS PUT TO THE BEST USE
POSSIBLE TO HELP OUR MOST
VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. WE'RE
GRATEFUL FOR THE ONGOING
FLEXIBLE HOMELESS FUNDING CALLED
HAP- IN OUR TOP BUDGET PRIORITY
REMAINS A THREE YEAR. ALLOCATION
THREE BILLION FOR THREE YEARS
FOR HALF. A TO THE BIG TO THE
THIRTEEN CITIES. THESE FLEXIBLE
DIRECT ALLOCATIONS HAVE ALLOWED
OUR CITIES TO CREATE AN
ADDITIONAL NINE THOUSAND SHELTER
SPACES. AND SERVE OVER TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS. THESE
CITIES WE RELY ON THESE FUNDS
OPERATE THOUSANDS OF
INTERVENTION SUCH AS- COMMUNITY
CABINS SAFE RV PARKING TINY HOME
VILLAGES. AT TA WHY SHELTERS
OUTREACH IN SUPPORT OF SERVICES
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT THE LIST
GOES ON FOR ALL THIRTEEN CITIES
WE HAVE VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS IN
VERY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS.
OBVIOUSLY OUR FEAR AND OUR
CONCERN IS WITHOUT HALF FUNDING

REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
COALITION FOR YOUTH AND I WANT
TO THANK THE CHAIR FOR HER
QUESTIONS TODAY AROUND YOUNG
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
THAT IS A CRISIS NOW YOUNG CHILD
SHOULD HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE
STREETS. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
WHAT THE PET DEFINITION OF WHAT
COUNTS AS SOMEBODY. WHO IS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IT
MEANS THEY'RE SLEEPING A PLACE
NOT MEANT FOR HUMAN HABITATION.
AND IT'S UNCALLED FOR THAT OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER AGE

EXPERIENCE THAT BECAUSE THEY
HAVE NO SAFE PLACE TO GO. IN AN
EVER COMMUNITIES. GRANTED WITH

GREATER INVESTMENT IN AFFORDABLE

UNPRECEDENTED SORT HOUSING
CRISIS. OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE
ARE REALLY TWO PROGRAMS ONE IS
THE VERY SUCCESSFUL HOUSING
ACCELERATOR THAT THE STATE
CREATED LAST YEAR- IT ALLOWS
PROJECTS THAT ARE STUCK IN THE
QUEUE FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX
CREDITS TO ACTUALLY MOVE TO
CONSTRUCTION WE ARE HEAVILY
OVERSUBSCRIBED WE'VE MAXED OUT
OUR FEDERAL RESOURCES AND THE
STATE CAME IN AND MADE THOSE
PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD- WE NEED.

PROGRAM NEEDS TO CONTINUE AND

CHANGE CURRENT LAW IN A WAY THAT
WOULD PERMANENTLY CAP ECSTASY BY

RETURNED TO CITIES AND COUNTIES.
AFTER NON BASIC IT'S CALLED
DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN FULLY
FUNDED. AND WOULD USE THOSE
FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE STATE IN
THE VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
OBLIGATION. SACRAMENTO COUNTY
THE MAJORITY OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE ABLE TO FULLY FUND
THEMSELVES THROUGH LOCAL
PROPERTY TAXES WHICH MEANS THAT
THE FULL ALLOCATION OF EUROPE
FUNDS ARE NOT NEEDED. AS A
RESULT SOME ENOUGH FUNDS WHICH
WERE ORIGINALLY LOCAL FUNDS THAT
WERE SHIFTED TO THE STATE. THAT
CAN MEET ITS BUDGETARY
OBLIGATIONS. CAN BE RETURNED TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS VIA ACCESS THE

BEING ABLE TO FULLY FUND
THEMSELVES WITH LOCAL PROPERTY
TAX DOLLARS. AND THAT'S ALARMING
LOCAL FUNDS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY
SHIFTED AWAY FROM CITIES AND
COUNTIES TO BE RETURNED TO THE

OUTCOME AND DOES. NOT HARM THE
STATE FINANCIALLY. IN THE TWO
THOUSAND FOUR BUDGET COMPROMISE
WAS REACHED THERE WAS NEVER A
CONSIDERATION. FUNDS THAT WOULD
BE UTILIZED TO PAY FOR THE IN
THE VEHICLE LICENSE FEE WOULD BE
INSUFFICIENT. AND WE ARE
APPRECIATIVE OF THE STATE
REIMBURSING US FOR THESE
SHORTFALLS IN THE PAST. THE
PROPOSAL IS UNTENABLE BECAUSE IT
SHIFTS MORE LOCAL FUNDS AWAY
FROM THE CITIES AND THE COUNTY.
