RELATIVE TO INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE
DAY. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S KARA. YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. MADAM SPEAKER REMEMBERS
ARISE TO PRESENT A CR 90, WHICH
HONORS INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY
HOLIDAY CELEBRATED BY INDIAN
AMERICANS TO HONOR THEIR
HERITAGE AND PAID TRIBUTE TO THE
CULTURAL AND POLITICAL
SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIA'S
INDEPENDENCE FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
ON AUGUST 15TH 1947 AFTER YEARS
OF NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE TO OVER
200 YEARS OF BRITISH COLONIAL
RULE, INDIA'S FIRST PRIME
MINISTER RAISED THE INDIAN
NATIONAL FLAG AND IN DOING SO
GAVE RISE TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST
DEMOCRACY. AS AN INDEPENDENT
NATION, INDIA WAS ABLE TO OPEN
UP ITS ECONOMY AND GIVE WAY TO
AN AREA OF ERA OF
INDUSTRIALIZATION OF PROSPERITY
THAT WE ALL BENEFIT FROM TODAY.
IN FACT, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS, INDIA SURPASSED GREAT
BRITAIN THEIR FORMER COLONIZERS
TO BECOME THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. THIS IS
NOT ONLY INCREASE THE QUALITY OF
LIFE OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, BUT THAT
SUCCESS ALSO ALLOWED MANY INDIAN
AMERICANS TO IMMIGRATE TO THE
UNITED STATES, LEADING TO EVEN
MORE POSITIVE CHANGE AND
INNOVATION HERE. CALIFORNIA IS
HOME TO THE LARGEST POPULATION
OF INDIAN AMERICANS IN THE
COUNTRY, MANY OF WHOM HAVE MADE
VAST CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE TECH
MEDICAL SER MEDICAL INDUSTRY,
SERVICE INDUSTRY, AGRICULTURE
INDUSTRY AND VARIOUS OTHER
BUSINESS INDUSTRIES.
INDEPENDENCE DAY IS ONE OF
INDIA'S MOST IMPORTANT NATIONAL
HOLIDAYS AND HONORS THE
COUNTRY'S EMBRACE OF FREEDOM,
TOLERANCE AND JUSTICE, WHICH HAS
SERVED AS AN INSPIRATION AND
BEACON OF HOPE TO PEOPLE AROUND
THE WORLD. A CR 90 IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE GREAT
CONTRIBUTIONS AND DEEP
CONNECTIONS. SO MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE TO
INDIA'S WHICH CULTURAL HISTORY
CELEBRATING THAT IT IS OUR
DIVERSITY IS A STATE THAT MAKES
US STRONGER. AS THE FIRST INDIAN
AMERICAN TO SERVE IN THE HISTORY
OF THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE IS
MY PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE
INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND CELEBRATE OUR
NATION'S SHARED VALUES OF
DEMOCRACY AND FAIR
REPRESENTATION AS YOU WORK
TOWARDS A MORE UNIFIED GLOBAL
COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S COLORADO
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S REYES. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I ALSO RISE IN SUPPORT
OF THE 76TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
INDIAN INDEPENDENCE, WHICH MARKS
THE END OF THE BRITISH RULE IN
INDIA. THE CENTER PENDANTS
MOVEMENT WAS THE CULMINATION OF
90 YEARS OF RESISTANCE, CIVIL
DISOBEDIENCE AND ARMED CONFLICT
WITH THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
COLONIAL RULE WAS INCREDIBLY
OPPRESSIVE, AND WE ARE STILL
SEEING THE EFFECTS OF
COLONIZATION IN THE FORM OF
STRUCTURAL INEQUALITIES. THE
STRUGGLES AND RESISTANCE OF THE
INDIAN PEOPLE, SUCH AS THE EARLY
ORGANIZATION OF RELIGIOUS GROUPS
THAT SPREAD THE MESSAGE OF
FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE INCLUDE
OUR HINDU, SICK AND MUSLIM
ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE ESSENTIAL
IN MOBILIZING THE NATIONALIST
MOVEMENT. THESE GROUPS MIRROR
THE FIGHTS FOR INDEPENDENCE.
LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES FOUGHT
FOR DURING THE 18 HUNDREDS
AGAINST THE SPANISH EMPIRE, AS
WE TOO, HAD RELIGIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS. CALL FOR
INDEPENDENCE, INCLUDING THE
MESSAGE FROM FATHER HIDALGO. IN
2018, A DELEGATION LED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN JOSE VISITED
THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND LEADERS
THROUGHOUT INDIA. INCLUDING OUR
SPEAKER. AND MY COLLEAGUE FROM
FULLERTON. I WOULD BE REMISS NOT
TO MENTION THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF
WOMEN TO THIS HISTORIC MOVEMENT
WHEN GANDHI WAS ARRESTED IN 1930
IT WAS SO JEANNIE NAIDU, A
WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION THAT NOT
ANTI IMPERIALIST ACTIVIST WHO
BECAME THE NEW LEADER OF THE
MOVEMENT. THE WOMEN OF INDIA
FOUGHT WITH TRUE SPIRIT AND
UNDAUNTED COURAGE AND FACED
VARIOUS TORTURES, EXPLOITATIONS
AND HARDSHIPS TO EARN THEIR
FREEDOM. AS MY COLLEAGUE
MENTIONED HE IS THE FIRST INDIAN
AMERICAN TO BE ELECTED TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE.
AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS
APPLAUDED BY MANY WE VISITED IN
INDIA AND I APPLAUD HIM TODAY
FOR THAT, AS WELL. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RAISED FOR
THOSE NICE REMARKS.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S KARA, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? I RESPECTFULLY

FILE NUMBER 57. HR 46.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AWARD. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED CLERK OPEN, READ THE
HOUSE RESOLUTION 46 BIAS LET ME
REWARD RELATIVE TO HOMELESS
SERVICE PROVIDERS. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WARD. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS HOUSE RESOLUTION. 46
RECOGNIZES THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER
2023 AS HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS
MONTH AND SHINES A SPOTLIGHT AND
COMMENDS THE INVALUABLE WORK.
COMPASSION AND DEDICATION ARE
SERVICE PROVIDERS DO EVERY DAY
TO END HOMELESSNESS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA MEMBERS AS YOU ALL
KNOW, AN ESTIMATED 172,000
CALIFORNIANS ARE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT
IN OUR STATE. AND THIS HAS BEEN
A 7% INCREASE SINCE 2020 DUE TO
THE RISE OF RENTS AND MORE
CALIFORNIANS LOSING THEIR HOMES.
DURING THIS TIME, WE HAVE RELIED
HEAVILY ON OUR PROVIDERS IN BOTH
PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS TO DO THE HARD
WORK OF CONNECTING WITH
INDIVIDUALS, BUILDING THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS AND PROVIDING
PATHWAYS TO STABILITY AND
HOUSING. THESE GROUPS PLAY VITAL
ROLES AND IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS
SUCH AS PROJECT ROOM KEY AND
HOME KEY, WHICH PROVIDED SHELTER
AND SAFETY DURING ONE OF THE
MOST CHALLENGING PERIODS IN OUR
STATE'S HISTORY. NOW AS WE MOVE
PAST THE PANDEMIC AND THESE
PARTICULAR PROGRAMS EXPIRE, WE
CONTINUE TO RELY ON SERVICE
PROVIDERS AS DIRECT RESPONDERS
TO OUR HOMELESSNESS CRISIS FOR
OUTREACH FOR STREET MEDICINE.
FOOD ASSISTANCE BENEFIT
ENROLLMENT, RAPID RE HOUSING,
VETERANS PROGRAMS, HOUSING,
NAVIGATION AND MORE. AND DESPITE
OUR BALLOT OUR BUDGET CHALLENGES
THIS YEAR WE SOUGHT TO PREVENT
CUTS TO THESE JOBS AND PROGRAMS
NECESSARY TO TACKLE THIS CRISIS.
STILL PROVIDERS OFTEN STRUGGLE
WITH STRAIN OPERATING BUDGETS
AND INCREASES IN THE COST OF
LIVING, LEADING MANY OF THOSE
AND THEY'RE DEDICATED STAFF TO
STRUGGLE FINANCIALLY AND
SOMETIMES PUSHED TO THE BRINK OF
HOMELESSNESS THEMSELVES.
TURNOVER CAN BE HIGH UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR CLIENTS TO AGAIN BUILD TRUST
. MR WARREN. YES, MA'AM. I WOULD
LIKE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE
PAYING ATTENTION. I APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE SHARING WITH US
TODAY. SO MEMBERS IF WE GET ALL
TAKE A DEEP BREATH FOR A MINUTE
. WE'D LIKE TO FINISH WITH MR
WARD. THANK YOU, SAM. REMEMBER?
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I
APPRECIATE THAT ATTENTION. AS I
WAS SAYING TURNOVER CAN BE
EXTREMELY HIGH. UNDER SOME OF
THESE CONDITIONS. IT MAKES IT
DIFFICULT FOR CLIENTS TO BE ABLE
TO BUILD THAT TRUST AND THE
REPLACEMENTS WOULD TAKE
ADDITIONAL TIME TO BECOME
FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THEIR
ASSIGNMENTS AND WE SHOULD DO
BETTER. HR 46 JOINS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND RECOGNIZING
HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH AND
THEN WENT TO COUNT OF NOVEMBER.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT
PROVIDES RECOGNITION TO THE
INDIVIDUALS PROVIDING
RESILIENCE. COMPASSION
DEDICATION AND DIGNITY TO THOSE
MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US. THIS
RECOGNITION SHOULD ENCOURAGE
FURTHER ACTION TO PROVIDE
SUFFICIENT SUPPORT AND RESOURCES
TO ENSURE THAT THEIR WORK IS
APPRECIATED AND THAT THERE IS
STABILITY TO BETTER PRODUCE MORE
EFFECTIVE OUTCOMES. FOR THESE
REASONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE ON HR 46. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JACKSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
. MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF HR 46. MANY TIMES WE
THINK ABOUT, UM THOSE WHO ARE
HOMELESS OR UNSHELTERED AS BEING
HOMELESS AND THEN GOING RIGHT
INTO A HOME OR SHELTER. NOT
UNDERSTANDING ALL THE HARD WORK
THAT IT TAKES FOR THAT TO EVEN
HAPPEN. IN BETWEEN THE WHOLE
PROCESS. OF BEING ABLE TO
IDENTIFY BEING ABLE TO BE A
TRUSTED MESSENGER AND GAINED THE
TRUST. ASSESS THE VARIOUS NEEDS
OF THE POPULATION. AND THEN
HOPE, HOPEFULLY WALKING THEM
THROUGH A SERIES. OF SERVICES, A
SERIES OF AGREEMENTS NECESSARY.
TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY ARE THEY
IN THE RIGHT PLACEMENT BUT
ENSURING THAT THEY ARE ALSO
FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT
SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO
THEM. SO THAT ONCE THEY ARE
SHELTERED THAT THEY CAN ALSO
CONTINUE ON THEIR JOURNEY. UH TO
UPWARD MOBILITY. AND SO, INDEED
, THE WORK THAT THOSE WHO ARE,
UM WORKING WALKING THE STREETS.
THOSE ARE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH
WORKERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, THE
STREET TEAMS WHO ARE TRULY DOING
THE HARD WORK. AH THE ARDUOUS
WORK. DEALING WITH SOME OF OUR
MOST TROUBLED POPULATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA, SO WE OWE THEM A
DEBT OF GRATITUDE. AND WE THEY
ARE TRULY DOING GOD'S WORK AND
DOING SO, AND WE THINK THEM AND
WE SHOULD BE THANKING THEM EVEN
MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY FOR THE
GREAT WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY RESIDE
IN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM
SPEAKER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
REMEMBER JACKSON
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUIRK-SILVA YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS MEMBERS
TODAY I RISE TO SUPPORT HR 46.
MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE
SPENT. MANY YEARS NOW WORKING ON
HOMELESSNESS. IN FACT, BEFORE I
WAS EVEN ELECTED TO THE STATE
ASSEMBLY IN THE CITY OF
FULLERTON HOMELESS SCHIZOPHRENIC
MAN WAS KILLED ON THE STREETS OF
FULLER TIN. THIS IS WELL BEFORE.
THE HOUSING CRISIS AND ALL OF
THE HOMELESS. HAD STARTED. WHICH
WAS WELL OVER A DECADE AGO. THE
OUTRAGE OF SEEN THE PHOTO OF
THIS SCHIZOPHRENIC, MENTALLY ILL
MAN ON OUR STREETS THAT WAS
BEATEN TO DEATH. PROPELLED ME
NOT ONLY TO WORK TOWARDS FINDING
SOLUTIONS FOR HOMELESSNESS, BUT
EVEN PERSONALLY MANY OF US HAVE
BEEN TOUCHED. MANY OF US HAVE
BEEN TOUCHED BY FAMILY MEMBERS
THAT HAVE SUFFERED FROM SOBRIETY
ISSUES AND EVEN MORE SOME OF YOU
KNOW THE STORY OF MY BROTHER
BILLY. WHO DIED ON THE STREETS
OF ORANGE COUNTY. THIS IS THE
CRISIS OF OUR LIFETIME. AND IT
IS CHALLENGING. AND SOLUTIONS.
SOMETIMES SEEM FAR OFF AND
UNATTAINABLE. BUT WE CANNOT. WE
CANNOT ACCEPT. THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS
AND DYING ON OUR STREETS. AND
THESE NAVIGATORS, THESE
CONNECTORS, THESE MENTORS AND
EVEN FRIENDS. THAT WORK AS
SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS. IN FACT SAVE LIVES.
AND FOR THAT I AM GRATEFUL. BUT
WE MUST DO MORE, AND WE MUST NOT
WALK BY WHEN WE SEE HOMELESS
ENCAMPMENTS WITH DISGUST AND
DISDAIN. WE MUST STAND UP AND
STAND TALL AND SAY, WHAT ELSE
CAN WE DO? I KNOW THAT THERE'S
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MONEY THAT'S
BEEN SPENT. BUT THE QUESTION FOR
ALL OF US IS HOW DO WE ACCEPT
THOUSANDS AND IN ORANGE COUNTY?
ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST
COMMUNITIES, ALMOST 40
INDIVIDUALS DYING A MONTH. WITH
THAT I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON
HR 46. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUIRK-SILVA.
SEEING NO OTHER DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WARD WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?

FULLERTON AND MARINO VALLEY FOR
THEIR ARTICULATE AND WONDERFUL,

IS WE ARE ON LEGISLATIVE RECESS.
OF COURSE DURING NOVEMBER,
REMEMBER THE WORK THAT IS BEING
DONE OUT THERE IN THE DIRECTING
ENGAGEMENT THAT WE CAN ALSO
PROVIDE IN OUR DISTRICTS CAN
