POVERTY AND IMPROVE THE LIVES OF
LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS THE
DEPARTMENT RECEIVES FEDERAL
FUNDING FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BUT
THE COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK

THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET FOR THE
DEPARTMENT PROPOSES TOTAL
SPENDING OF TWO HUNDRED SIXTY
NINE MILLION ALL OF WHICH IS
FEDERAL FUNDING.
OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS
FUNDING FOR THE DEPARTMENTS
FEDERAL PROGRAMS HAS REMAINED A
RELATIVELY CONSISTENT AND WE
ANTICIPATE LEVEL FUNDING FOR OUR
COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT.
FUNDING FOR THE LOW INCOME HOME
ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WAS
INCREASED BY CONGRESS THIS YEAR
WITH CALIFORNIA ESTIMATED TO
RECEIVE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. WHILE WE
HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE FINAL AWARD
IF THESE ESTIMATES ARE CORRECT
CALIFORNIA WILL RECEIVE AROUND A
HUNDRED NINETY MILLION FOR
FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHTEEN.
AND ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT'S
BUDGET.
COMPOSED BUDGET FOR NINETEEN
AGAIN RECOMMENDS ELIMINATING ALL
OF OUR FEDERAL PROGRAMS THERE
DOES CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORT IN
CONGRESS AS DEMONSTRATED THIS
YEAR. AND WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH
OUR STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS
TO MONITOR THE STATUS OF THE
BUDGET. ON A LITTLE BIT MORE OF
A POSITIVE NOTE CALIFORNIA WILL
RECEIVE A PRIZE FOR NINE POINT
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. AS A
RESULT OF THE LEGAL SETTLEMENT
BETWEEN THE FEDERAL ENERGY
REGULATORY COMMISSION AND
BARCLAYS BANK. TO RESOLVE FELT I
ALLEGATIONS OF ENERGY MARKET
MANIPULATION THE ONE TIME
PAYMENT HAS TO BE USED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OUR LOW INCOME
HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
GUIDELINES.
AT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
NETWORK OF A LOCAL AGENCIES OF
THE DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING TO
USE THESE FUNDS FOR WHAT THERE'S
ASIAN SERVICES. THAT WILL HAVE A
LONGER IMPACT ON REDUCING
UTILITY COSTS FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS.
I'M IN ADDITION I JUST WANT TO
POINT OUT THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS
COMMITTED TO.
CHORDATE INSTEAD STATE EFFORTS
TO INCREASE THE EARNED INCOME
TAX CREDIT. WE.
NO IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
EFFECTIVE POVERTY TOOLS WE'VE
BEEN PARTNERING WITH THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD. OF FOR THE
PAST TWO YEARS WE'VE
ADMINISTERED OUR GRANTS THROUGH
LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN
THE AMOUNT OF TWO MILLION
DOLLARS AND WE FOUND THAT THE
OUTREACH.
AND EDUCATION HAS BEEN A
EFFECTIVE.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THE
DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED FUNDING
FROM THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUND FOR OUR LOW
INCOME WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM
WHICH PROVIDES SOLAR P. V..
SOLAR WATER HEATERS AND ENERGY
EFFICIENCY MEASURES AND LOW
INCOME SINGLE FAMILY. AS WELL AS

BEEN ALLOCATED FOR SINGLE FAMILY
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SOLAR
PEAVEY PROJECTS.
AS DETAILED IN THE REPORT A
TOTAL OF EIGHT THOUSAND NINE
HUNDRED SIXTY ONE SINGLE FAMILY
HOUSEHOLDS HAVE RECEIVED ENERGY
EFFICIENCY UPGRADES.
PROBABLY TWENTY NINE HUNDRED
HOUSEHOLDS HAVE RECEIVED SOLAR
PEAVEY SYSTEMS.
ABOUT FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS HAS
BEEN ALLOCATED FOR OUR MULTI

RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS
FORTY NINE MULTI FAMILY PROJECTS
CONSISTING OF FORTY FIVE HUNDRED
HOUSEHOLDS. HAVE BEEN SERVED SO
FAR.
FOR US EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
WHICH WAS APPROPRIATED AND
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN IT WAS
SPECIFICALLY FOR LOW INCOME
MULTI FAMILY SOLAR AND FARM
WORKER WEATHER'S ASIAN PROGRAMS.
WE INTEND ON ALLOCATING FIVE
MILLION TO A COMMUNITY SOLAR
PROJECT.
TO BRING THE BENEFITS TO LOW
INCOME HOMES THAT I CANNOT DON'T
HAVE THE RIGHT ROOFING FOR A.
SOLAR PEAVEY SYSTEM ON THEIR.
ROOF
ANOTHER SVEN MILLION WILL BE
ALLOCATED TO MULTI FAMILY AND OF
THIS FIVE MILLION WILL BE
DEDICATED TO FARM WORKER
HOUSING.
AND ENDS UP AS A SINGLE FAMILY
COMPONENT OF FIVE MILLION AS

PIECES THAT ARE NEEDED. AND THE
FIRST THING WE RE DOING IS
CONVERTING WHAT'S CALLED HEALTH
INFORMATION ARMS ARE HEALTH
INSURANCE SYSTEM DATA. AND THE
REASON FOR DOING THAT IS A VERY
SMALL SUBSET OF USERS.

LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DATA
CONVERSION FROM DIGITAL

AS WELL AS.
.
US SUPPORTING CODE TO ALLOW FOR

BUT ALSO PROGRAM MANICALLY THEY
MANAGE OUR FEDERAL AND STATE
LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES WHO ARE

THANK YOU ALL RIGHT.
CLIENTS MOVE ONTO ISSUE NUMBER
FOUR.
WHICH IS.
MY PAPER SO IT'S.
THE BCP ON RIGHT SIZING THE
OFFICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
SUPPORT.
OKAY.
MORE NEW PEOPLE AT THE TABLE
AGAIN.
THAT MEANS OF THE VANILLA.
RIGHT CIVIC INTRODUCE YOURSELVES
FOR THE RECORD.
MORNING WHEN YOU.
MORNING MY NAME'S JOHN ROWLAND
SPECIAL CONSULTANT FOR THE
OFFICE WHILE FOURTEEN SUPPORT.
YOU.
AND MY NAME IS CHRISTINE ALLEN
AYE AND THE ASSISTANT CHIEF
COUNSEL FOR THE OFFICE OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT PACEY THE LA
THOUGH TEAMS THE SAME.
SONYA PARTICULARLY OF OUR GREAT.
FINANCE.
OTHER WORDS FINANCE OKAY THANK
YOU RIGHT TO BEGIN FOR THOSE TWO
PARTS. ARE A BUDGET PROPOSAL.
ONE IS TO CHANGE THE
CLASSIFICATION FOR INVESTIGATOR
CLASSIFICATION FROM INVESTIGATOR
TO SPECIAL AGENT. AND THEN WERE
ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY
FOR FOR CENTRAL VALLEY.
OUR ARE ISSUE WITH OUR
INVESTIGATORS WE HAVE ARE FROM A
RECRUITMENT RETENTION PROBLEM
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THEIR
CLASSIFICATION.
SO WE'RE REQUEST DEAN A TO
RECLASSIFY SEVEN INVESTIGATORS
TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF SPECIAL
AGENT. AND TO SUPERVISE
INVESTIGATORS TO SENIOR SPECIAL
AGENTS.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE.
NINE INVESTIGATORS SEVEN WHICH
ARE RETIRED ANNUITANTS
SO WHEN I HOPE WE ONLY HAVE TWO
FULL TIME INVESTIGATORS RIGHT
NOW AND WE'RE RELYING ON.
RETIRED ANNUITANTS TO CONDUCT
OUR INVESTIGATIONS.
WE CONDUCT INTERNAL
INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST PEACE
OFFICERS FOR US. A SERIOUS
MISCONDUCT.
SO WE'RE IN THE POSITION WE'RE
RELYING ON RETIRED TO DO IT'S
BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A DIFFICULT
TIME FEELING OUR INVESTIGATOR
POSITIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR
CLASSIFICATION.
WE'RE TO CATCH TWENTY TWO
SITUATION BECAUSE OF A POST
ISSUE PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS
AND TRAINING.
WHEN. THE CAUCUS WAS PUT
TOGETHER AND I THINK THERE WAS
THERE WAS A GENERAL BELIEF THAT
WE WOULD BECOME A POST AGENCY.
EVEN MEETING WITH POST FOR A
COUPLE YEARS NOW.
AND WE DO NOT MEET WERE NOT A
GOOD FIT FOR POST.
POST IS LOOKING FOR IN. A
DEPARTMENT THAT DOES A FULL
RANGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
RESPONSIBILITIES.
A YOU HAVE PUBLIC CONTACT. OUR
AT YOUR ATTENDING YEAH YOU'RE
DOING GENERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WORK.
WE ARE WE ARE IN INTERNAL
AFFAIRS UNIT THAT'S ATTACHED TO
AN OVERSIGHT ENTITY. SO WE DON'T
MEET THE FULL RANGE OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
THAT POST REQUIRES.
THE PROBLEM IS IN ORDER TO BE AN
INVESTIGATOR THAT CLASSIFICATION
YOU HAVE TO HAVE GONE TO A POST
ACADEMY.
A SIX MONTH ACADEMY PRIOR TO
WORKING FOR US.
SO THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THE
CLASSIFICATION BUT ONCE WE GET
THAT INDIVIDUAL PEAK.
WE CAN DO NOTHING TO ADVANCE
OUR POLL CERTIFICATE AND THEN
EXPIRES AFTER THREE YEARS.
SO IT'S A CLASSIFICATION ISSUE
FROM FROM FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.
WE'VE MET WITH POST A POST
ISSUES A LETTER IN SEPTEMBER OF
LAST YEAR BASICALLY SAYING THAT
NOT A GOOD FIT FOR WHAT WE'RE
DOING.
SO.
WE HOW THEY WERE WEREN'T WERE
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
IN TERMS OF CLASSIFICATION.
THEN IN THE THE LOOKING AT THE
SPECIAL INTO A SPECIAL AGENT
CLASSIFICATION.
OTHER TYPES OF INVESTIGATIONS WE
DO ARE VERY SPECIFIC IT REQUIRES
A VERY CERTAIN A VERY SPECIFIC
SKILL SET INVESTIGATOR
CLASSIFICATION IS A GENERAL
CLASSIFICATION THAT'S USED
ACROSS STATE GOVERNMENT.
THE M. B. A. B. C. THE USE
INVEST THEIR CLASSIFICATION.
SPECIAL AGENT IS MORE CONSISTENT
WITH THE TYPES OF INVESTIGATIONS
THAT WE DO WHICH ARE INTERNAL
INVESTIGATIONS OF PEACE
OFFICERS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEACE
OFFICER BILL RIGHTS YET TO
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ADMINISTRATIVE
INVESTIGATION IN A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION HOW ONE IMPACTS
THE OTHER HOW YOU HAVE TO
BIFURCATE INVESTIGATIONS. SO IS
A CERTAIN SKILL SET THAT THE
SPECIAL AGENT BRINGS THAT AND
NOT NECESSARILY THE THE.
INVESTIGATOR DOESN'T HAVE IN
THEIR JOB SPECIFICATIONS NOT
THAT THEY CAN'T LEARN BUT IT'S
JUST
A BETTER FIT FOR US.
AND LASTLY THERE SEE THERE'S A
CONFLICT ISSUE IN TERMS OF
REPRESENTATION.
RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE INVESTIGATORS CONDUCT
INVESTIGATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT REPRESENTED BY THE SAME
BARGAINING.
SO AND WE'VE HAD SITUATIONS
WHERE THAT HAS CREATED A
CONFLICT.
SPECIAL AGENT CLASSIFICATION.
IS IT EXCLUDED EMPLOYEE.
SO THEY ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY A
BARGAIN UNIT. AND SO ELIMINATES
THAT THAT A POTENTIAL CONFLICT
AND IF YOU LOOK AT APARTMENTS
LIKE CHP I'M RETIRED FROM CHP.
I WORKED INTERNAL AFFAIRS FOR
CHP.
.
CHP WOULD NEVER HAPPEN OFFICER
INVESTIGATING OTHER OFFICERS
THERE WAS ALWAYS A SOME
SEPARATION WAS ALWAYS ONE RANK
HIGHER AND WHAT THAT DID IS IT
HALLIDAY EL. NICK SCREWED
EMPLOYEE INVESTIGATOR REPRESENT
EMPLOY.
SO THERE REALLY THREE AREAS THAT
WE'RE BASING OUR BCP ON FOR THE
CHANGE OF CLASSIFICATION.
IT REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT
BECAUSE WE'RE RELYING ON ON
RETIRED A NEW IT'S IT'S NOT
REALLY SUSTAINABLE.
YOU'RE FOR THE LONG TERM WE'RE
LOOKING FOR SUSTAINABILITY WE
REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE HAVING A
POSITIVE IMPACT ON BOTH OF OUR
DEPARTMENTS THAT WE. PROVIDE
OVERSIGHT ON.
SO IT'S IT'S IT'S A
SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE FOR US.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT PART OF
THE BCP.
OKAY.
DEPLETED AND THEN WE'LL TAKE
QUESTIONS I PICK YOU UP SO.
.
CHRISTINE IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THE ATTORNEY POSITION WERE
ASKING FOR THINKS THAT'S THE
SECOND OF HIS OF THE VCP IS
REQUESTING AN ATTORNEY FOR FOR
ESSENTIAL REGION.
AND I'M THAT SITS
SORT OF A SIMPLE ISSUE OF OF AN
UNMANAGEABLE CASELOAD CURRENTLY
FOR ATTORNEY THAT'S IN CENTRAL.
AND SHE HAS TO STAY HOSPITALS
AND THE LARGEST DEVELOPMENT
CENTER. A WHERE IS OUR OTHER
TERRORIST HAVE ONE HOSPITAL AND
BONUS HONOR EACH TIME SHE'S
CARRYING DOUBLE THE CASELOAD
THAT THE REST OF THE TRAINS ARE
CARRYING AND IT'S SIMPLY JUST
NOT MANAGEABLE. AND
GEOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING ON. HER
FACILITIES ARE ALL VERY FAR
APART AS WELL. AND COMPARED TO
THE OTHER CHINESE IN THE TROUBLE
THEY HAVE TO DO SO IT SIMPLY
UNMANAGEABLE AT THIS POINT AND
WE'VE.
BUT IN A BANDAID FIX FOR NOW
WHERE WE HAVE IN OUR
INVESTIGATOR HELPING HER OUT TO
COVER SOME OF THOSE THE
INTERVIEWS BUT. YOU KNOW HE
OBVIOUSLY ISN'T IT WITH HOURS
AND CAN'T HELP RESULT OF ALL THE
LEGAL ASPECTS OF IT. IN MAKING
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HIS
DISCIPLINARY DETERMINATIONS AND
CARRYING CASES THROUGH AND STATE
PERSONNEL BOARD PROCESS. SO AND
IT'S.
IT'S JUST REALLY ADDED AND
SIMPLICIO VIC OF UNMANAGEABLE
CASELOAD. AND THE REASON I
REQUEST YOU TO FOR IT IS BECAUSE
OFTENTIMES. YOU PART OF OUR
MISSION IS TO AND MONITOR MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO DS AGENT YES
AND DD S. ATTORNEYS LA TIMES
THEY WILL BE FORCED.
AND RIGHT NOW ALL OF OUR
ATTORNEYS ARE THREE IS TO BE
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE
A FOUR. ON THAT COULD HANDLE
THOSE HIGH LEVEL CASES ARE IN A
BIT BE ABLE TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS. ON TO THE
ATTORNEY FOR IS THAT THEY ARE
MONITORING AND IN A SURLY DOMES
TALK ABOUT THIS. IN YOU DON'T
HAVE SOMEDAY THE SAME RANK.
ENOUGH TO COME DURING THE
MONITOR. SO THAT'S WHY I REQUEST
IN ATTORNEY FOR FOR THE CENTRAL
REGION AND JUST CLARIFY BECAUSE
I DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT SO A FOR
IS. HIRED IN A THREE IN TERMS OF
CAPACITY RIGHT.
RIGHT OKAY RIGHT I DON'T KNOW
WHICH WAY TO SCALE RUNS OKAY
ALRIGHT. OKAY.
OKAY ANY OTHER THING ARE BELIAU
COMMENTS.
FINANCE.
QUESTION COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
OKAY NOW UP SO A HUGE SAYING WE
NEED AND.
THERE MAY BE SOME OF THE
COMMENTS ABOUT IT WILL HERE.
IT CERTAINLY.
THE ATTORNEY SIDE SO BUT DO SO
YOU CURRENTLY HAVE A THIRTY
THREE THAT SERVING THAT TRY TO
COVER ALL THIS RIGHT NOW AND
YOU'RE LOOKING TO. TREAT
ATTORNEY FOR POSITION THAT IN
ADDITION TO HELP OUT THE SAME
AREA RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT THEY CAN
HELP OUT ESSENTIAL REGION THEN
ALSO IN A TEXAN THE HIGHER.
WELL I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE
INTERNAL PERSONNEL MAYBE YOU'RE
TWENTY THREE COULD BE PROMOTED
AND.
POINT IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S DOING
IT.
WHAT WORK OKAY A LOT OF WORK
RIGHT AMAZING? ALRIGHT OKAY
WELL.
SO WITH THAT.
.
GONNA MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ISSUE
WILL GET BE TAKING PUBLIC
COMMENT THE ENDED THE OCI
SECTIONS OF ALRIGHT THANK YOU
INSOMUCH. OKAY.
CHRISTIANS WHO OKAY ALRIGHT DOES
ISSUE NUMBER FIVE SPRING FINANCE
LETTER HE WEEK IN MY S. FOR
EXPENDITURE INCREASE.
SO THIS HAVE FOR YOU INTRODUCE
YOURSELVES FIRST FOR THE RECORD.

STEAM DUDLEY DEPUTY DIRECTOR WAS
OSI.
THE RIVERS MADONNA'S LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE.
OTHER WORDS FINANCE OKAY AS TO
GIVE STATES AND RIGHT. WELCOME.
TO BEGIN.
IF YOU.
CERTAIN THE.
MI ES DE WITT PROJECT IS
FEDERALLY MANDATED IT HAS TWO
PARTS TO IT SCOPED ONE IS TO
IMPLEMENT AND.
AUTOMATED ELIGIBILITY
DETERMINATION SYSTEM AND CASE
MANAGEMENT AND THE OTHER IS TO
IMPLEMENT EBT FUNCTIONALITY FOR
WICK.
AFTER DISSIDENTS.
SO WE HAVE.
.
RECENTLY COMPLETED A PROCUREMENT
AND THE RESULTS OF THAT LED TO
SOME HIGHER COSTS IN OUR SYSTEM
INTEGRATOR. AND THIS IS A
HUNDRED PERCENT FEDERALLY
FUNDED.
PROJECT SO THIS IS REALLY JUST
AN INCREASE IN EXPENDITURE
AUTHORITY.
BUT ARE AYE AT THE RESULT OF OUR
PROCUREMENT OUR SYSTEM
INTEGRATOR COSTS ARE HIGHER
BASED ON A NUMBER OF REASONS.
SHORT TIMEFRAME REQUIRES MORE
RESOURCES THE SIZE OF CALIFORNIA
LED TO SOME HIGHER COST THE
ORIGINAL COSTS WERE BASED ON
ESTIMATES.
FROM OTHER STATES AND SO OUR
SCOPE WAS HIGHER. SIZES LARGER
AND WE ALSO ARE DOING MORE THAN
THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS WE ARE
ADDING UP A DATA WAREHOUSE
PARTICIPANT PORTAL AND THOSE
THINGS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
OTHER STATES AFTER WE COMPLETE
THEM BUT THEY ARE NOT ENOUGH.
THE OTHER TWO ITEMS ARE MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON SCHEDULE.
RIGHT THANK YOU INCOMES FROM
ALEJO.
SIMPLY ALIGNS THE PROJECT BUDGET
WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE
PROCUREMENT AND WE HAVE NO
CONCERNS I THINK YOU FINANCE.
ALRIGHT REMEMBERS.
SO AND I ASSUME THAT FEDERAL I
MEAN THIS IS ALL FEDERAL MONIES
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IT'S GOOD
WITH ALL OF THIS IN SOUTH OCCUR
ACTUALLY BUILDING CAPACITY AS
WELL AS THE FACT THAT WERE
BIGGER STATE.
ALRIGHT EXCELLENT OKAY VERY
GOOD.
THANK YOU SO WHY WILL WILL BE
TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT ALL THE
ITEMS AND THEN.
BUT PRICE HOLDING EVERYTHING
OPEN BUT WILL HEAR PHOTOGRAPHERS
PACKED THANK YOU. OKAY SO NEXT
ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER SIX.
OF REVIEW CHAU CHILD WELFARE
SERVICES THE CALIFORNIA NAY
RESPONSE ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM SEAT
W. S. CARES UPDATES.
ALL DO THEY QUICK INTERESTS EVEN
THOUGH I THINK AT THIS POINT WAS
TRYING TO GET TO KNOW EACH
OTHER.
BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD.
IT WILL LOOK BORN DIRECTOR OF
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF.
THANK YOU.
THEY CAN MATCH YOU LIVE WITH US
I.
I BACK DISTILLING WITH OSI THANK
YOU. VIA MORE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE YOU KNOW LORD AS FROM
ALEJO. OKAY VERY GOOD ALRIGHT
TIFFANY HAD EARLIER.
ALRIGHT GOOD BEGIN.
BUT ME TO BEGIN PRESS.
I'VE FOUGHT A ARRIVED AT THE.
OFFICES SYSTEM INTEGRATION AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND.
BECAME MORE DIRECTLY INVOLVED
WITH THE.
CARES PROJECTS. ON DS CARES
PROJECT WHICH.
IN MY CAREER A LONG CAREER IN IT
PROJECTS.
IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
OF ALL THAT THAT I'VE DONE.
BECAUSE OF ITS PURPOSE.
IT'S ON.
AN ESSENTIAL TOOL AN ESSENTIAL.
ON SERIES OF FUNCTIONALITY IN
AND CAPABILITIES THAT CHILD
WELFARE WORKERS NEED TO BE ABLE
TO DO.
THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT THEY DO
TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
AND YOU.
SO.
THIS PROJECT IT'S IT'S A KIND
OF PLEASURE TO ME BECAUSE.
BEFORE I JOINED A SIGH AS WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN
THE OFFICE OF STATE WHY PROJECT
DELIVERY.
RESPONSIBLE ALONG WITH MY
COLLEAGUES FOR PROVING STATE
PROJECTS AND OVERSEEING STATE
PROJECTS SO I'VE HAD SOME
FAMILIARITY WITH THIS PROJECT.
BEFORE JOINING OSI AND AND NOW
LOW AND BEHOLD.
I'M THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE
DIVISION THAT IS.
DELIVERING OF THE.
CWS.
CARES PROJECT.
SO ON THE COUPLE QUESTIONS IN.
THAT WERE POSED IN YOUR AGENDA
THAT I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS AT THIS
TIME AND THEN SEE IF THERE ARE
ADDITIONAL.
THE PROJECT.
OF THE PROJECT OF THE LAST
PROJECT APPROVAL DOCUMENT.
THAT THE.
ALWAYS I SUBMITTED AN AND WAS
ACCEPTED APPROVED BY THE
DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY.
WAS IN MAY OF TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN AT THAT TIME IT WAS
PREDICTED THAT TAKE CARES
PROJECT WOULD COMPLETE. OUR IN
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN.
THE IT'S USING AS YOU AS YOU SAW
ON THE RIDE UP A VARIETY OF.
.
UNUSUAL.
APPROACHES TO DOING IT PROJECTS
AT LEAST FOR THE STATE THEY'RE
NOT UNUSUAL UNNECESSARILY IN THE
PRIVATE SECTOR BUT THEY'RE
THEY'RE DIFFERENT FOR THE STATE.
SO.
WHAT WE WHAT WE FOUND IS IT'S%
TAKEN US A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
TIME TO RAMP UP?
WERE STARTING TO DELIVER CODE.
BUT IT'S STILL KIND OF EARLY
AND WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO
NEED MORE THAN.
THAT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE
PLANNED. A SO WE ARE WORKING
WITH THE DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY
IN THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SPECIAL
PROJECT REPORT WHICH SHOULD BE
COMPLETED. IN MAY EARLY JUNE.
SO THAT WE THEN HAVE A NEW
TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION OF
THE CARES PROJECT.
THE.
THE BUDGET TODAY IT IS A IN
PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THE AMOUNT
THAT WE ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR
THE CARRIAGE PROJECT. WAS FOR ON
THE SP OR TWO IS FOUR HUNDRED
AND TWENTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
BUT TODAY WE SPEND ABOUT TWENTY
NINE PERCENT OF THAT.
OR A HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO
MILLION DOLLARS THAT'S OVER THE
COURSE OF FIVE YEARS.
SO THE FIRST.
.
TWO OF THOSE FIVE YEARS WAS
UNDER A DIFFERENT ASSUMPTION OF
HOW WOULD DELIVER THIS PROJECT
WHICH IS THE MORE TRADITIONAL.
INTEGRATOR MODEL.
LARGE BENDER COMPLETE THE
PROJECT.
WE DECIDED IN NOVEMBER OF TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN THIS WAS THE
STATE WORKING TOGETHER WITH
SOCIAL SERVICES. OSI AND AND CDT
TO TO UTILIZE THIS.
MODEL WHERE WE DO MODULAR
IMPLEMENTATION USING AGILE
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
AND FOCUSING ON USER CENTERED
DESIGN PRINCIPLES SO THAT WE
COULD ESPECIALLY. CAPTURE THOSE.
PROCESSES AND CAPABILITIES THAT
CHILD WELFARE WORKERS NEEDED TO
BE MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE
AT THEIR JOB.
SO.
IMPART RAMPING UP USING THESE
NEW APPROACHES.
WHICH ALSO INCLUDED BY THE WAY.
NEW APPROACH TO PROCURING.
EXPERTISE IN SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH AND
DESIGN WHICH UP AGAIN SAID LET'S
LET'S.
.
UTILIZE MULTIPLE VENDORS I USE
A.
PRE QUALIFIED POOL APPROACH SO
THAT WE CAN LEVERAGES LEVERAGE
PROCUREMENTS GO FASTER. OF THAT
WAS ALL SET UP IN THE FIRST.
COUPLE YEARS OF THE FIRST YEAR
OF THE OF THAT WHAT WE CALL THE
PIVOT TO THE NEW APPROACH.
AND THAT'S WORKED VERY WELL
THOSE.
THOSE VENDORS.
COME ON BOARD THEY'RE VETTED AS
TALENTED ENOUGH TO DO THIS KIND
OF WORK.
AND THEY OF THEY WORKED VERY
WELL.
WITH US AND WITH EACH OTHER.
THE OTHER ARM OF THING ABOUT
THIS PROJECT ITS.
A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IS
WE'RE USING.
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OPEN SOURCE
A WITCHES.
PRE.
.
PRE DEVELOPED CODE THAT'S
AVAILABLE YOU HAVE STILL BEEN
LICENSE BUT IT'S.
IT'S FREER TO HER OR MINIMAL
COST AND YOU CAN FIGURE THAT
OPEN SOURCE CODE IN SUCH A WAY
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE IT
FROM SCRATCH.
BUT YOU DO HAVE TO BRING IT IN
AND MAINTAIN IT SO WAS A
LEARNING CURVE ON THAT AS WELL
BUT IT'S IT'S COMING TOGETHER.
PRETTY WELL BUT.
THE LAST THING THAT I WANT TO
MENTION THAT IS NOT A CONTINUES
TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR THE
PROJECT. IS HOW TO
APPROPRIATELY.
MAINTAIN AND INTERACT WITH OUR
LEGACY SYSTEMS WE HAVE THE CWS
CMS SYSTEM. THE.
CHILD WELFARE WORKERS HAVE USED
SINCE NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT I
THINK IT'S VERY OLD.
IT'S GETTING A LITTLE FRAYED
AROUND THE EDGES.
AND IT'S USING AN ARCHITECT
MICHAEL ARCHITECTURE THAT IS.
ANCIENT US SO IT'S IT'S
CHALLENGING TO WORK WITH THAT.
ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE.
A A COMPONENT OF THE CHILD
WANNA SIT WELFARE SYSTEM IS
LICENSING WHICH IS ANOTHER SET
OF SYSTEMS THAT HAVE BEEN AND
SOCIAL SERVICES.
PORTFOLIO OF SYSTEMS FOR AGAIN
NUMBER OF YEARS THOSE SYSTEMS
THERE'S THREE OF THEM THAT
TOGETHER COMBINED THE LICENSING
CAPABILITIES AT SOCIAL SERVICES
NEEDS TO MAINTAIN.
AND THAT'S ANOTHER GROUP OF
LEGACY SYSTEMS WERE INTERACTING
WITH SO. CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE HER
UNDERSTATE THE COMPLEXITY OF
THIS PROJECT.
BUT.
IT IS IT TO ME IT HOLDS THE
MOST PROMISE FOR ULTIMATELY
DELIVERING TO CHILD WELFARE
WORKERS.
WHAT IT IS THAT THEY NEED?
BECAUSE MOSTLY IN THE
TRADITIONAL METHODS OF DOING.
THESE PROCUREMENTS IN THESE.
PROJECT DELIVERIES YOU RIGHT UP
ALL YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND THEN
YOU ASK THE VENDOR TO BUILD IT
AND FIVE YEARS LATER YOU SAY
HERE IT IS.
AND YOU'VE YOU'VE GONE
COMPLETELY.
PASSED OR NOT PASSED YOU HAVE
NOT KEPT UP AT THAT POINT WAS
WHAT CHILD WELFARE WORKERS NEED
SO. THIS MORE ENTERED OF PROCESS
USING AGILE USING USER CENTERED
DESIGN WE FIND OUT.
WHAT IT IS THAT WILL HELP THEM
MOST EXPEDITIOUSLY WE BUILD THAT
AND IMPLEMENT THAT AS WE GO? AND
THEN.
AND OVER TIME WE START ADDING
IN THE.
THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE
SYSTEM THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR
FEDERAL POURING FOR ACCOUNTING
FOR OTHER ASPECTS OF THIS WORK
SO. IT IS COMPLEX BUT IT
CERTAINLY CAN BE DONE AND THIS
PROJECT ENJOY SOME REMARKABLY
TALENTED PEOPLE. FROM THE
PRIVATE SECTOR IN THE STATE
SECTOR WORKING TOGETHER AND IT'S
IT'S.
.
IT'S A QUITE QUITE INTERESTING
SO.
ANY QUESTIONS ALRIGHT THANK YOU
ARE COMES FROM ILLEGAL.
AS THE AGENDA NODES ARE COMMENTS
FROM SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN REGARDING
THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND RISKS
ARE STILL RELEVANT TO THE
PROJECT TODAY. AND WE HAVE BEEN
MONITORING THE PROJECT AT THIS
POINT WE HAVE NO CONCERNS TO
RAISE FOR THE COMMITTEE WE DO
LOOK FORWARD TO REVIEWING THE
NEW S. PR WHEN ITBECOMES
AVAILABLE. AS WAS NOTED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION THE CURRENT SPR
REFLECTS THE COST AND SCHEDULE
FOR THE MONOLITHIC APPROACH
BEFORE IT WAS TRANSITION TO THE
AGILE AND THAT WAS REASONABLE
BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW APPROACH TO
THE STATE BUT NOW THAT THEY
HAVE.
A BIT MORE EXPERIENCE WE LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING THOSE UPDATED
FIGURES.
FINANCE.
OKAY QUESTION NAY MEMBERS ARE.
SO AGAIN I APPRECIATE THE
PRESENTATION THOUGH LAST YEAR WE
TALKED A BIT ABOUT THIS IS WELL
THIS.
AGILE APPROACH
AND.
WHEN THINGS THAT I WANT TO JUST
ASK VISITS.
BUT IN TERMS OF AND ACTUALLY
MADE THIS ALSO APPLIES MORE
BROADLY TO THE OTHER SIDE BUT.
DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT WE'RE
LEARNING FROM THIS PROJECT SO.
I'VE NOTED IN MY EXPERIENCE IN
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PREVIOUS
IT PROJECTS.
SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING IN THE STATE AND
OTHERS HAVE BEEN DOING BETTER.
THAT.
SOME DAYS THAT HAPPENED YEAH TO
DEAL APPROACH WAS RIGHT YOU GO
YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT
REQUIREMENTS YOU GO TO A BIG
VENDOR RIGHT YOU CAN DO BECAUSE
OF THAT PRIDE PROJECT FOR
CALIFORNIA IT'S GONNA BE BIG
PROJECT.
THEY GO THEY DEVELOP PROGRAM
SOMEHOW IT YOU KNOW WORKS SOME
WAYS MAYBE NOT SO WHAT OTHER WAY
SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
REALLY INFORM THE VENDOR IN A
WAY THAT.
SOMETIMES BECAUSE THE VENDOR
TOGETHER WHATEVER AND I GET THE
DETAILS A SPECIFIC PROJECT BUT
WHAT THEN.
IT JUST ENOUGH WHAT HAPPENS IS
IS THAT.
.
BUT AGE IS A PROBLEM.
AND THEN IS ONLY A HANDFUL OF
VENDORS WHO CAN DO THESE REALLY
BIG PROJECTS AND I'M DIVERSE
SKILLED AND SO FORTH BUT AND
SOMETIMES WE GET BACK OF THE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ó WELL YOU
KNOW.
IF YOU KNOW WE HAD A BID TO ONLY
TWO PEOPLE COULD BID ON IT AND
SO.
AND THE OTHER PERSON THAT SAYS
SO.
SO TERMS OF THE AGILE APPROACH.
YOU SAID IN TERMS OF VENDOR
INTEREST SO ARE WE DE BUILDING
GAGE A BROADER SCOPE OF VENDORS
DOING DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND
HAVING MORE ALTERNATE IS.
.
CHOICES.
PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING
SUCH THE TRAPS WITH A. TAKE IT
OR LEAVE IT SO ABSOLUTELY AND IN
THIS CASE WE HAVE A
REPRESENTATION OF SOME SMALL.
AND.
IT MORE INNOVATIVE.
PLAYERS IN THE IN THE.
DIGITAL SPACE WE ALSO HAVE.
COUPLE OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL
VENDORS THERE SO THAT WE'RE NOT
EXCLUDING ANYBODY BUT. EACH.
EACH VENDOR WHEN WE OFFER A.
STATEMENT OF WORK AND WE SAY
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE A CONTRACT
THEY'RE RELATIVELY SMALL
CONTRACTS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY
BECAUSE WE'RE. WE'RE TRYING TO
SAY WE WANT YOU TO DO THIS
COMPONENT OF WORK FOR THIS
PERIOD OF TIME. THEN AND MODULAR
IN A WAY AND THEN.
WE COULD EXTEND THOSE IF
THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB BUT. I
IN EACH CASE THEY GOT TO SHOW
THAT THE RESOURCES THERE
PROVIDING HAVE THE COMPETENCY TO
WORK WITH OPEN SOURCE TO WORK
WITH HE ARCHITECTURE WERE DOING
IN AND EVERYTHING SO. IN THIS
CASE WHAT.
TWO THINGS HAVE SHIFTED IN
ADDITION TO WHAT.
WHAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO
SENATOR PAN OUT ONE IS THAT
THERE'S A GREATER?
DEPENDENCY AND AND AN OPENNESS
OF I CALL ON THE PROGRAM SIDE
THE BUSINESS SIDE TO BE ENGAGED.
SO WE HAVE COUNTY.
WORKERS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
PARTICIPATING IN THIS USER
CENTERED DESIGN PARTICIPATING IN
TESTING WE HAVE SOCIAL SERVICES
PEOPLE. ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING.
AND I THINK IN THE PAST A LOT
OF PROJECTS WOULD.
WOULD SORT OF ASSUME THE VENDOR
WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING
AND SO THEY JUST KEPT DOING WHAT
THEY WERE DOING AND THERE WAS A
GAP BETWEEN WHAT WAS NEEDED.
WAS WANTED
THE OTHER MAJOR CHANGE IN THIS
PROJECT AND AND I THINK.
BUT WE WILL GET A LOT OF
LESSONS LEARNED FROM ALL OF
THESE METHODS AS WELL AS THE
CONDITIONS NEEDED TO SUCCEED.
IS THAT IN THIS CASE BECAUSE
WERE USING MULTIPLE VENDORS. THE
STATUS EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATOR OF
THAT SO.
THE STATE LEADERSHIP AND BOTH
IN SOCIAL SERVICES AND AND
ALWAYS SIGH. ó AND LEADERSHIP
OVER THE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE
KEENLY AWARE OF WHO'S DELIVERING
AND HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND THE
THINGS TO COME TOGETHER IN THE
SAME WAY AS YOU MIGHT THINK OF.
BEING YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR
BUILDING YOUR OWN HOUSE WHERE
YOU'RE HIRING THE SUBS AND
YOU'RE SAYING NOW IT'S TIME TO
DO THE SHEET ROCK NOW IT'S TIME
TO DO THAT THIS IS THIS IS WHAT
THAT'S ABOUT.
AND.
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT FOR EVERYBODY
YOU KNOW IT'S AT A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF EXPERTISE AND AUNTS
AND SKILL AND WORK BUT.
THE NICE THING ABOUT IT IS THAT
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS DONE THE
STATE WILL HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO
MAINTAIN OF AFTERWARDS WHICH HAS
ALWAYS BEEN. KIND OF A LEGACY
OF.
MAJOR IT PROJECTS WHERE WE
BECOME DEPENDENT ON VENDORS FOR
DECADES AFTER.
THANK YOU IN DOT SUBS GONNA ASK
QUESTION ABOUT HOW WE'RE
ENGAGING OUR COUNTIES RAISE SUCH
A STATE PROJECT IN MANY WAYS AND
I KNOW YOU JUST THAT IN YOUR
REMARKS AND I APPRECIATE
ACCIDENTS REALLY IMPORTANT WE
ENGAGE THE AND USE.
WHEREVER THEY ARE JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT WORKING FOR THE
STATE.
DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T NEED AND
SO I GUESS THE ONE OTHER THING
ASSETS Y. TOUCH ON. IS IS THAT
AGAIN PREVIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENED
IS YOU HAVE A PROGRAM OF COURSE
NOW SEVERAL DECADES LATER WE GOT
UPGRADED. THAT WE DEVELOPING AN
ARCHITECTURE THAT MEAN THAT
MOVES AWAY FROM YOU KNOW WE HAVE
A VERSION AND THEN TEN YEARS
LATER WE GOT CREATED BRAND NEW
VERSION WE BUILD THIS THING UP
FROM SCRATCH WORSE JUST LIKE
CONSTANTLY INVOLVING.
PROGRAM SO CAN STAY UP TO DATE
INSTEAD OF SOMETHING THAT YOU.
SAME ONE FOR TWENTY YEARS AND
NOW WE NEED TO. REBUILD THE
THING AGAIN RIGHT YEAH YEAH
ABSOLUTELY THE MODULAR APPROACH
ALLOWS US TO.
BED.
SPECIFIC BUSINESS RULES THAT
ARE THE SUBJECT OF POLICY
RELATED DECISIONS.
INTO IT AN AREA THAT DOESN'T RUN
THROUGHOUT EVERYTHING ELSE SO.
THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
OPEN SOURCE.
CONFIGURATION ACTIVITIES.
ALLOWS US TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES
MORE ON EASILY.
BUT I WILL SAY IT'S A CHALLENGE
TO MAINTAIN AN EXISTING SYSTEM
DEVELOP A NEW SYSTEM AT THE SAME
TIME.
WHILE NEW CHANGES ARE COMING
AND SO WE WE.
WITH ALL OF THIS GO OUT ON A
LIMB AND SAY HOLD THE POLICY
THINGS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
CANWE GET THIS THING BILL THEN
WE CAN GO GANGBUSTERS. BUT ARE
BUT THAT IS THE APPROACH THAT
WE'RE TAKING A ONE OF THE TERMS
THAT YOU PROBABLY HEAR WITH
REGARDS TO AGILE DEVELOPMENT IS
CALLED DEVOPS OUR DEVELOPMENT
OPERATIONS.
AND THE IDEAS JUST THAT THEY
WERE UPDATING THE INFRASTRUCTURE
AND THE SYSTEM AS WE GO ALONG SO
WE DON'T HAVE THAT TYPICAL BELL
CURVE. BUT WE HAVE TO RAMP UP
EVERY FEW YEARS IN ORDER
REPLACES SYSTEM.
AND THEN MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER
THIS QUESTION TERMS OF AND WE
HEARD PRESENTATION ON MEDS WHICH
IS ALSO ANOTHER BIG I MEAN THERE
STUDY ARE WE LOOKING AT AS.
THEY'RE JUST STARTING TO RAMP UP
AS SERVICE SIMILAR APPROACH TO
TO THE UP. DATING MEDS FROM THE
COBALT PROGRAM IT IS SOMEWHAT
DIFFERENT BUT IT IS YOU WERE
LOOKING AT THAT MODULAR APPROACH
AND YOU KNOW THE ONE THING I
WILL SAY ACROSS ALL OF THE
PROJECTS IN OUR PORTFOLIO IS
THAT WE ARE OPEN.
TWO OPTIONS AND VARIATIONS OF
AGILE DESIGN BECAUSE THAT CAN BE
DONE BY MULTIPLE VENDORS IT CAN
BE DONE BY ONE VENDOR.
SOMETIMES IT FIT CERTAIN
COMPONENTS OF A PROJECT OTHER
TIMES THE WATERFALL APPROACH MAY
BE THE RIGHT WAY TO GO DO THAT
JUST BECAUSE ITS MAYBE NOT
SUITABLE FOR. LARGER PROJECTS
DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT A
VIABLE METHODOLOGY SO WE'RE OPEN
TO CONSIDER RAISING ALL OF
THOSE.
AS WE APPROACH IN PLAN ARE
PROJECTS OKAY AND I FIGURE.
LA WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO.
ESTIMATES FUTURE COSTS IN THE
NEW PRECIOUS RIGHT OKAY
BARCELONNETTE TO OKAY. EXCELLENT
OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
OKAY ALRIGHT THANK YOU WELL
LET'S MOVE ON THEN TO ISSUE
NUMBER SEVEN AND SAW SINGLE
SYSTEM
.
OKAY I SEE AT LEAST ONE NEWISH
PERSON ON THE TABLE SO SHE SELLS
FOR THE RECORD.
GOOD AFTERNOON I'M TODD BLANDA
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIA
PARTNER SOCIAL SERVICES.
DON'T SCORE UNTIL WE KNOW WHO'S
AND WE WILL LOOK AT PORN
DIRECTOR CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
SOLUTIONS.
A BACHELOR OFFICER SYSTEMS
INTEGRATION.
MISTER LEE OPPOSITE SYSTEMS
INTEGRATION.
LUIS MORALES LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE.
OTHER WORDS FINANCE
OKAY NAY UNKNOWNS GOT FORGET
THEIR NAME AFTER THE HEARING I.
WELCOME.
LOW.
SO TODAY VAST TO HEAR ABOUT THE
STATUS OF THE SAUCE PROJECT AND
WHAT WE'RE DOING. AYE AS WE SHIP
TO A SINGLE SYSTEM SO THERE'S A
LOT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON RIGHT
NOW.
THE THREE SYSTEMS ARE FULLY
FUNCTIONAL UNSTABLE BUT WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS
WAS ABOUT ALAR SNC FOR MIGRATING
INTO A SINGLE SYSTEM.
AND WE'VE BEEN BRIEFING THIS
ORGANIZATION SO.
OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS DENIED OUR
FUNDING REQUEST FOR THAT
MIGRATION AND SAID WE WANT.
A SINGLE SYSTEM AND THEY ARE
SUPPORTIVE OF A PHASED
IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH BUT THEY
WANT COMPREHENSIVE.
AND SO INSTEAD THEY ASK US TO
ENTER AN EXTENDED PLANNING PHASE
USING INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY
CONSULTANTS TO HELP WITH THAT.
TO DETERMINE APPROACH
REQUIREMENTS AND COST ESTIMATES
FOR ALL THE ACTIVITIES NECESSARY
TO GET TO THAT.
FULL SYSTEM ARE SWITCHED TO
PLANNING.
ALL THAT TOOK PLACE TO LAKE
FOREST UPDATE THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET SO WE'LL BE MAKING
UPDATES IN THE MAY REVISE ON IN
TERMS OF THE BUDGETING.
IN SUPPORT OF THAT PLANNING
EFFORT OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS
APPROVED A STATE'S REQUEST FOR
FUNDING FOR PLANNING. AND AS THE
STATES AND COUNTIES BEGAN THE
APPROVED PLANNING ACTIVITIES WE
WERE INCLUDING OUR FEDERAL
PARTNERS IN REVIEW AND ACT AND
MEETINGS AND THEY QUICKLY
REALIZED THAT THEY STILL
WEREN'T.
ENOUGH TO MEET THEIR OBJECTIVES
OF THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
SO THEY ASK US TO FURTHER EXPAND
WHAT WE ARE DOING AND TO
ACCELERATE OUR REVIEW OF THE.
NEEDS OF THE COW WHEN COUNTIES
AND THAT EVENTUAL CAO SAWS.
SYSTEM TO GIVE A MORE COMPLETE
PICTURE.
SO ON MARCH THIRTIETH WE DID
SUBMIT AND UPDATED PROJECT
APPROVAL DOCUMENTS REQUEST THAT
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE
EXPANDED ACTIVITIES.
SINCE WE'VE BEEN WORKING SO
CLOSELY WITH SAM ASSN UP ON US.
AS WE DEVELOP THE DOCUMENT THEY
HAVE BEEN REVIEWING IT WITH US
AND WE EXPECT THEIR REVIEW AND
APPROVAL NEXT WEEK THAT FUNDING.
SO.
.
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IS IN THE
MIDST OF ALL OF THAT PLANNING
LOTS OF ACTIVITY GOING ON. AND
WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE
DOT IN THE JULY AUGUST
TIMEFRAME.
AND THEN THAT WILL FEED INTO
NEW PROJECT APPROVAL AND FUNDING
REQUEST DOCUMENTS BOTH THROUGH
THE FEDERAL AND THE STATE FIVE
CONTROL AGENCIES IN BUDGET
PROCESSES FOR THE FALL.
I DID WANT TO POINT OUT THE
TIMELINE IN THE.
AGENDA WAS DEVELOPED OVER A
YEAR AGO WHEN WE FIRST WERE
REQUIRED TO MOVED A SINGLE
SYSTEM THAT IS ALL UNDER
CONSIDERATION SO WE MADE A FEW
UPDATES TO THAT TIME TABLE. TO
SHOW THE NEW PLANNING ACTIVITY
THAT'S GOING ON AND THEN WE
SHADED ALL OF THE AREAS THAT
ARE.
CURRENTLY UNDER ANALYSIS ROBERT.
ONCE ARE PLANNING ACTIVITIES ARE
COMPLETE AND MORE FINAL.
I AND THEN SO WE DO BEGIN WE DO
PLAN TO BEGIN THE FIRST PHASE OF
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT IN
JANUARY OF TWENTY NINETEEN.
AND SAID YOU SAID YOU'RE JUST
WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TERMS OF THEIR SIGN
OFF IN THE FEW WEEKS THAT WEAKER
SO. WELL WE ARE WAITING FOR THAT
BUT WE HAVE NOT WAITED TO BEGIN
OUR ACT OKAY AS WE HAVE BEEN
RAMPING UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
GIVEN THAT WE UNDERSTAND THEIR
SUPPORT AND IT'S AT THEIR
REQUEST THEIR REQUIREMENT. AND
GIVEN THE COMPRESSED TIMEFRAME
WE COULDN'T WAIT
OKAY SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
IS ALREADY A LOT OF ACTIVITY
TAKING PLACE.
IT IS FAIR TO SAY THERE'S BEEN
CONSTANT ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CON
WITH THE FEDERAL PARTNERS AS
WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS.
THIS IS A BECAUSE IT'S SO
COMPRISES THE FEDERAL STATE AND
COUNTY PARTNERS ARE WORKING ON
AN ITEGRATED TEAM. WITH OUR
AUTHOR PARTY CONSULTANTS.
WE BUT SAY SOMETHING.
TOTAL CONCURRENCE WITHOUT ALL OF
THAT THAT ALL PARTIES ARE
WORKING TOGETHER THERE'S DAILY
ACTIVITIES AND WEEKLY CALLS AT
THAT THE MIDDLE EXECUTIVE LEVEL.
YES
A AMENDMENTS DUDLEY EXPLAINED
EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW
JUST LOOK LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO
SEE SOMETHING I.
THAT COMES FROM ILLEGAL.

SURPRISE TO OBVIOUSLY THINGS ARE
MOVING FAST.

ACTUALLY VERY VITAL ONE.
SO LET US START WITH THE.
OVERVIEW.
FAQ HOW WORKS. NUMBER FIVE.
AND THE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR IF I LIKE
YOU. AND ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT
WE HAVE SINCE WE HAVE A FEW
PEOPLE ROUND TABLE UMPS AND IT'S
A BIG FRAUD. CATEGORY WILL JUST
DO A ROUND ROBIN FOR THE. FOR

JOH.
GINNY BELLA ILIO.
OTHER WORDS FINANCE RIGHT THANK
YOU BYE OVERVIEW BAKER DIRECTOR.
THANK YOU ARM JUST THE POTATO
QUICKLY INTRUDE BUT INTRODUCED
MUST ALL.
PROBLEM IS.
CHIEF OF THE A CAL WORKS PROGRAM
ON THIS IS OF COURSE. A PROGRAM
THAT IS DEAR TO THE HEARTS OF
EVERYONE OF IT IS.
ACROSS THE COUNTRY PROBABLY THE
PREMIER EXAMPLE OF EIGHT TEN OF
PROGRAM WHAT MULTIPLE CAPACITIES
TO ENGAGE IN SUPPORT.
ARM OF FAMILIES AND FAMILIES
WITH KIDS
SO.
AS MISTER JOHNSON TO CONTINUE.
AT THE BEGINNING I'D YOUR AGENDA
DOES A GOOD JOB OF OUTLINING AN
OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICES AND
SUPPORTS IN CAO CAO WORKS. IN
TERMS OF FINDING PAGE THIRTY TWO
OF YOUR GENDER SHARES THAT THE
FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM IS A MIX
OF BOTH.
ASK FEDERAL STATE AS WELL AS
COUNTY IN REALIGNMENT FINDINGS
THREE POINT SEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS RECEIVE FROM THE FEDS
FOR TEN OF BLOCK GRANTS.
AND A MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT OF
TWO POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS
FROM THE STATE AT BILLION
ANNUALLY.
I IN TERMS OF GRANT LEVELS AND
MAXIMUM AID PAYMENTS AGAIN YOUR
AGENT OUTLINES SOME OF THE
CHANGES TO THOSE LEVELS OVER
TIME.
AND.
THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY HAD TO
REGION'S AND THAT ARE FACTORED
INTO WHAT THOSE A PAYMENTS ARE.
AT DEPENDING ON THE ASSISTANCE
UNIT SIZE OF EACH OF THOSE
FAMILIES RANGING FROM IN THE
THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS UP TO
SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS AGAIN
DEPENDING ON THE FAMILY SIZE.
I THINK THAT JUST IN TERMS OF
GRANT LEVEL SEAT WE ALWAYS THINK
OF THE COW WORKS BENEFIT AS ONE
SUPPORT AN ARRAY OF OTHER
SUPPORTS OF FOOD ASSISTANCE
HEALTH CARE ASSISTANCE EVEN
CHILDCARE SUBSIDY ASSISTANCE AND
OTHERS. BUT A FAMILY MIGHT BE
ELIGIBLE FOR AND RECEIVING IN
TERMS OF A BROADER SET OF
SERVICES TO SUPPORT THEM.
AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO ASK ABOUT
RECENT LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY
CHANGES OF COURSE OUT IN THE
LAST YEAR TO THIS ADMINISTRATION
LEGISLATURE REPEALED THE MAXIMUM
FAMILY GRANT RULE. AND WE'VE HAD
IT AT A RECENT IMPLEMENTATION OF
A DIAPER BENEFIT THAT'S THIRTY
DOLLARS TO SUPPORT. OUR FAMILIES
PARTICIPATING IN WELFARE TO WORK
WITH A CHILD UNDER THREE.
WE'VE HAD A A NEW AYE
IMPLEMENTATION OF LEGISLATION
FOR HOMELESS ASSISTANCE FOR
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC BOUT DEFTLY
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WHERE. BOB
DOLE BE A ABILITY FOR THEM NOT
TO INCLUDE THE AYE INCOME
THEREBICU SIR IN DETERMINING
ELIGIBILITY FOR CAL.
YOU SEE SOME ADDITIONAL HOMELESS
STANDS.
AND AS YOUR GENDER POINTS OUT
WILL BE SPEAKING TO THE REPEAL
OF THE STATEWIDE FINGERPRINT
IMAGING SYSTEM REQUIREMENT IN
THE PROGRAM.
IN TERMS OF CASELOAD TRENDS.
WE HAVE SINCE THE PEAK OF CAO
WORKS CASELOAD AT ALMOST SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND. I JUST AFTER
THE GREAT RECESSION THE TOTAL
CASE THAT HAS BEEN DECLINING
PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ECONOMY
RECOVERY AND DECREASES AND AT
THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. AYE
RECENT MONTHS OF OUR ACTUAL
CASELOAD DATA SHOWS THAT
CONTINUE TO CLIMB OF SICK
PERCENT IN THE CURRENT FISCAL
YEAR AND GOING TO SEPARATING
THAT OUT INTO THE COMING FISCAL
YEAR. AND OF COURSE THOSE
NUMBERS WILL BE UPDATED MAY
REVISE.
AND JUST IN TERMS OF WORK
PARTICIPATION RATE THAT IS THE
MEASURE AT CURRENTLY IT'S A
FEDERAL MEASURE THAT'S FOR ALL
STATES ACROSS AT THE COUNTRY.
THAT OUT WHEN WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE CAL WORKS OUTCOMES
ACCOUNTABILITY IN REVIEW SYSTEM
JUST IN JUST A MOMENT BUT
CURRENTLY THAT IS THE MEASURE WE
LOOK.
TERMS OF DEMONSTRATING SUCCESS
OF THOSE THAT WERE SERVING. AT
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN MEETING THE
OVERALL WORK PARTICIPATION RATE
FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AYE AND
THE TWO PARENT RATE WERE FALLING
SHORT IT'S A NINETY PERCENT
THRESHOLD IN RAT ABOUT SIXTY
THREE PERCENT.
I IN TERMS OF PENALTIES THERE'S
PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH AND
NOT MEETING THOSE THRESHOLDS
THAT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. WE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUILD UPON THE
SUCCESS OF MEETING THAT RATE
WHICH IS A RETROACTIVE EFFECT SO
THE TOTAL EXPOSURE AND PENALTIES
AB ONE POINT ITS HIGHEST POINT
WAS ABOUT ONE POINT EIGHT
BILLION IS DOWN TO ABOUT FORTY
MILLION IN POTENTIAL EXPOSURE
AND WE HAVE NOT YET PAID. A IN
THE DOLLARS IN PENALTY AT THIS
POINT.
SO I WILL STOP THERE FOR THE
OVERVIEW OR GOING TO THE SINGLE
APPLICATION IF YOU BUY.
BUT TO GO AHEAD AND CAN ATTEST
TO. I IN TERMS OF THE COW WORK
SINGLE ALLOCATION.
WE ARE AT IN THE LAST CYCLE WE
HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO WORK IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTIES
AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO
IDENTIFY NEW METHOD
G. FOR THE SINGLE LOCATION.
THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT A
VARIETY OF BOTHSTATE
ADMINISTRATION DATA AS WELL AS
OUT PARTNERING TO DO SOME COUNTY
SERVING DATA TO SEE.
OUT WHAT WE CAN LOOK AT IN
TERMS OF CREATING THIS NEW
METHODOLOGY WE'VE CREATED A
PHASED IN APPROACH SO WE ARE
STARTING WITH THE ELIGIBILITY
ADMINISTRATION COMPONENT AT THE
SINGLE OF SINGLES COMPOSED OF
BOTH ELIGIBILITY ADMINISTRATION
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES CHILD CARE.
I IN CAL LEARN AND SO WE ARE
ANTICIPATING HAVING I MET AND
METHODOLOGY RELATED TO THE
ELIGIBILITY COMPONENT IN MAY.
I WE ARE GETTING CLOSER IT
REALLY ANALYZING A LOT OF DATA
AT THIS POINT BUT WE WILL BE IN
THE COMING WEEKS AT INVITING
STAKEHOLDERS TO A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THAT METHODOLOGY MOVING
FORWARD.
AND THEN I'LL GO TO THE TWENTY
FOUR MONTHS TIME PLUGGED INTO
THAT EFFORT TO TODD.
TWENTY FOUR MONTH TIME CLOCK
WAS PART OF THE ESPY TEN FORTY
ONE CHANGES ESSENTIALLY A
FLEXIBILITY PERIOD THAT ROUND
FOR TWENTY FOUR.
AS YOUR AGENDA INDICATES.
.
DATA ENTERED INTO THE.
THOUGH DATA SOURCE WE HAVE THE
WELFARE DATA TRACKING
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT OR WITH TIPS
SUGGESTS THAT ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
OR LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED
ACTUALLY HIT THE END OF THAT.
.
THAT'S MUCH LESS THAN WAS
ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED.
OUR ESTIMATES WERE WERE
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER AT THE TIME
THIS WAS ENACTED BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND AND TWELVE I THINK
THAT'S DUE TO MANY FACTORS JUST
THE AVERAGE TIME ON A. IMPROVING
ECONOMY ARE PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO
TAKE.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXEMPTIONS IN
VARIOUS CLOCK STOPPERS WHICH IS
NOT MANY PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED IT.
ON I THINK THE NEXT PHASE FOR US
IN LOOKING AT ANY
IT'S RELATIVELY.
NUMBER IT'S AND
AND.
AND THE SYSTEM AS ENACTED WE
HAD WHAT WAS CALLED THE
EXTENSION SYSTEM WHERE
ESSENTIALLY COUNTIES COULD
EXTEND.
TWENTY PERCENT.
AND ESSENTIALLY WE CALCULATED
THAT TWENTY PERCENT ON KIND OF A
GROSS TARGET THE COUNTIES HAVE
ESSENTIALLY ABOUT FIFTEEN
HUNDRED EXTENSIONS CURRENTLY TO
WORK WITH. AND AGAIN.
LOOKING AT THE DATA VERY FEW
HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN GRANTED SO
THE NEXT STEP IS TO VALIDATE
SOME OF THAT DATA AND BEGIN
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COUNTIES
ABOUT.
.
HOW MANY EXACTLY IS IS THE
NUMBER IN WHICH A CORRECT IN
TERMS OF WHO'S ACTUALLY BEEN
REMOVED FROM A AND WERE THERE
ANY BARRIERS TO BEING ABLE TO
GRANT EXTENSIONS AND WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THAT?
WERE JUST STARTING THAT PROCESS
WE WANT TO DO THAT AT THE
INDIVIDUAL COUNTY LEVEL ON THE
WHAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE LAST FEW MOMENTS IS
KIND OF THE AGGREGATE DATA SO.
AGAIN THAT'S KIND OF OUR NEXT
STEP ON THE TWENTY FOUR MONTHS.
IV HOW YOU.
YOU CAO WORKS OUTCOMES IN
ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW OUR CAL OR
PROCESS I BEGIN THIS IS A NEW
INITIATIVE IN THE LAST BUDGET
AND WE STARTED A ROBUST ECLIPSE.
OTHER OVER ONE HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS AYE IN SEPTEMBER.
THIS IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH WE
WILL HAVE NEW PROCESS AND
OUTCOME MEASURES IN THE CALLASPO
GRAM TO DEMONSTRATE THE SUCCESS
OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND THOSE
WORKING WITH THEM. AYE IN MOVING
ALONG IN THE SYSTEM SO WE WILL
HAVE NEW MEASURES.
THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN A
CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
CYCLE BEGINNING JULY ONE OF TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN I MENTION THIS
TO THE COMMITTEE IN OUR CHILD
CARE AT CONVERSATION AS WELL. AB
BUT ESSENTIALLY THESE MEASURES
WILL BE HE'S CONSISTENT ACROSS
THE STATE FOR EACH COUNTY. OTHER
COUNTIES WILL HAVE A SELF
ASSESSMENT PROCESS TO IT
IDENTIFY HOW THEY'RE DOING IN
EACH OF THOSE MET MEASURES AND
REALLY OUTLINED THE KIND.
STE OF SUCCESS OR CHALLENGE IN
ACCOMPLISHING AT IMPROVEMENT
OVER THOSE MEASURES.
THAT THEY WILL THEN IDENTIFIED
IN ALSO IN A LOCAL STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS WHICH OF THESE MEASURES
THAT BY TO IMPROVE UPON AND
CREATE A SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLAN
BY WHICH TO DO THAT.
I THE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PLAN
WILL BE SHARED ALSO WITH THE
STATE AND WE WILL BE SUPPORTING
APPS HERE SHARING WORK COUNTY
MAY HAVE A STRENGTHENS CERTAIN
AREA THEY CAN SHARE THOSE DRINKS
WITH.
HOW THE COUNTIES WOULD LIKE TO
IDENTIFY THEIR AT AREA TO
IMPROVE UPON?
WE WILL ALSO BE PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE
EFFORTS AGAIN IT'S A HREE YEAR
CYCLE THREE YEAR CYCLE CONTINUES
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND THE
MEASURES WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE A
SOLID SENSE OF TOWARDS LATE
SUMMER EARLY FALL OF THIS YEAR.
AGAIN GIVING SOMETIME FOR
AUTOMATION AND NEW DATA
COLLECTION
SINCE TO BE PUT IN PLACE FOR
LUNCH IN JULY ONE OF TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN.
ON THE QUESTION OF THE
ELIMINATION OF OF THE FINGER
IMAGING SYSTEM UP THROUGH THE.
START OFTEN END OF MISTER BLAND
WILLFUL SPORT. CALM NOT TO SORT
OF REGURGITATE A LONG HISTORY
BUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS IT'S
BEEN A GOAL TO.
ELIMINATE THE FINGERPRINTING
REQUIREMENT AND THE CAL WORKS
APPLICATION PROCESS. BECAUSE
IT'S
FRANKLY STE BIN SEENA
STIGMATIZING ON AND IT IS.
CUP TOTALLY CONTRARY TO OUR
VALUES. HOME AND AT THE SAME
TIME AND INEFFECTIVE TO.
DID INEFFECTIVE IN TERMS OF THE
NUMBERS WHO WOULD DETECTED THAT
DIFFERENT PEOPLE WILL ARGUE
ABOUT WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN DETERRENT EFFECT.
PEOPLE YOU CAN'T PROVE DEMONIC
OCCURRENCE OF A NON EVENT SO.
COULD WE GO HOME OUR GOAL OF
COURSE ALONE WHAT'S TO BE SURE
THAT WE COULD CREDIBLY ASHORE
ALONG.
POLICYMAKERS THE PUBLIC
CONSIDERING THAT YOU KNOW HAVING
BY FAR THE LARGEST TEN OF
PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY THAT IT
WAS GOOD THAT WE COULD ASSURE
PROGRAM INTEGRITY. WE LOOKED OUT
SOME.
POTENTIAL NON BIOMETRIC
ALTERNATIVES THAT WE THOUGHT
WOULD BE BOTH.
OFFICE FAST CUSTOMER FRIENDLY
ENABLE PEOPLE TO. GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS ARMED SPEEDILY ON. IT
BECAME CONTENTIOUS COM COULDN'T
NUMBER STAKEHOLDERS WERE
CONCERNED THAT ON SOME PEOPLE
MIGHT NOT BE AS COMFORTABLE
USING THE KNOWLEDGE. BASE SYSTEM
HAS OTHERS MIGHT AND THEREFORE
WE SHOULD NOT USE IT LITTLE.
HOME.
AS YOU KNOW THE LAST YEAR'S
BUDGET AGREEMENT ENDS THE.
BUT BASS WAS PROGRAM AT THE END
OF JUNE. ARM SO WHAT WE ARE ON
pGOING TO BE DOING IS SIMPLY. ON
DIRECTING THE COUNTIES TO ARM
UTILIZE EXISTING PROCESSES TO
IDENTIFY PEOPLE IF WE'VE YOU
KNOW AND TO KEEP IT AS.
FUND BURDENSOME AS POSSIBLE TO
THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE ON A IAN.
ENCOUNTERING APPLICATIONS FROM
PEOPLE COMPLETELY UNKNOWN TO OUR
OWN IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS AND
THAT WE DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS ON
FILE WE WILL HAVE TO DEVELOP
METHODS TO OBTAIN HARD
DOCUMENTATION.
ON OF WE DON'T INTEND THAT TO BE
IN ANY WAY AN IMPEDIMENT TOOK.
STARTING TO RECEIVE AID BUT.
NECESSITY TO VERIFY.
AND.
WE'LL BE ISSUING SORT OF
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COUNTIES
ON THE IN THE NEXT TO A.
WEEKS WEEK WE BELIEVE ON TO A
PUBLIC IMPLEMENTED IN LIGHT OF
THE.
TERMINATION OF THE S. MINT
SYSTEM ARM WILL SHARE THE ARM.
RICK INSTRUCTION LOVE WITH A
LARGE STAFF AND OTHER INTERESTED
PARTIES I BELIEVE NEXT EEK ON
AS IT'S KNOWN SORT OF FINAL
REVIEW.
AND THEN FINALLY IN TERMS OF THE
APPLICATION HAVE BUT THIS IS
ACTUALLY A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
CAL WORKS AND CAL FRESH.
AND OUR PARTNER WITH INCOME
FRESH AT ME JOINT JANUS HERE IF
YOU'D LIKE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION BUT ESSENTIALLY WE
ARE. I'M LOOKING AT WAYS WE.
ACCESS TO BENEFITS.
FOR THOSE IN NEED STREAMLINING
IN MODERATE NUYS AND PROCESSES
THAT IN MOVING FORWARD SO WE
HAVE BEEN LISTED. I AM MORE THE
CONTRACTOR COMPETITIVE PROCESS
I'D TO SOCIAL INTEREST SOLUTIONS
WHO'S REALLY WORKING ACROSS THE
STATE IN FOCUS GROUPS WITH THAT
USERS. OF THE OF THE VARIOUS ASK
THE SYSTEMS AS WELL AS.
CURRENT FORMER RECIPIENTS AND
SO FORTH I'M TO REALLY IDENTIFY
SHORT AND LONG TERM
RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOTH
ELECTRONIC AND NON ELECTRONIC.
WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE OUR
VERIFICATION PROCESS PROCESSES
FOR BOTH CAL WORKS IN CAP FRESH
PROGRAMS AND SO THE OUT IN THE
GOAL OF THIS PARTICULAR EFFORT
IS REALLY JUST THE BEGINNING AND
END PROVIDING THOSE I'D IN
IDENTIFYING THOSE SHORTEN LONG
TERM RECOMMENDATIONS. AND FROM
THOSE AND WE WILL AGAIN AND
ENGAGE WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO
IDENTIFY WHAT MIGHT BE THAT
QUICKER AND EASIER AND EVEN GOT
MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO IMPLEMENT
IN THOSE THAT ARE CAN TAKE
LONGER TERM STRATEGIES TO MOVE
FORWARD.
CAN WAIT CAL FOR SHEEPLE JUST AT
THE ONE SENTENCE THAT REALLY.
THAT APPLICATION PROCESS FOR
BOTH HARPER PROGRAMS INVOLVES
THREE STEPS APPLYING
INTERVIEWING IN VERIFYING AND WE
WORKED LEGISLATURE ON IMPROVING
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
IMPROVING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS
AND NOW WE'RE TACKLING STEP
THREE.
ALRIGHT EXCELLENT THANK YOU KNOW
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
ITEMS.
FIRST COVER OUTCOMES FROM
BELIAU.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON.
REGARDING THE BASE FUNDING AND
CASELOAD S. MINTS FOR THE
COWARDS PROGRAM THAT WERE PARTLY
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET WE CONCUR WITH
THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION SAID
HOLD THAT ITEM.
AT THIS TIME AND MAKE BUDGET
RELATED OR CASELOAD DRIVEN
BUDGET. DECISIONS AFTER THE THAT
MAY REVISION WITH THE UPPITY
CASES NUMBERS WE AS WELL AS AN
OFFICE WILL PROTECT PRODUCE
SOME.
ON UPDATED FORECAST FOR THE CAL
WORKS PROGRAM. ON ANYTHING ABOUT
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL BECAUSE
THE CASELOAD HAS BEEN DECLINING.
SO QUICKLY I THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS EACH YEAR THERE'S SORT OF
NEWLY AVAILABLE WE'VE TURNED
FREED UP RESOURCES WITHIN THE
BROADER TEN F. PROGRAM. AND
ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNOR'S
ESTIMATES THIS YEAR THAT AMOUNT
IS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS. AND THE ADMINISTRATION
HAS BECAUSE USED THE BULK OF
THAT FOR HOME VISITING
INITIATIVE WHICH WILL DISCUSS
LATER.
BUT OUR OFFICE VIEWS.
.
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN
FOR THESE FUNDS AS SORT OF ONE
OPTION AND THAT AT THIS TIME THE
COMMITTEE. ON HERE IN THE SENATE
AND ALSO IN THE ASSEMBLY.
WE WE ENCOURAGE IT YOU TO BEGIN
THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD
WANT TO DEAL FOR AS YOU ARE
PLANNED FOR FOR THIS.
THE USE OF THESE FREED UP FUNDS
AND IT MAY BE SOMETHING SOME OF
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IN MAY
REFLECT.
THIS COMMITTEES OR THE
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES BROADLY
BUT THAT'S WHERE THE POINT WE
ARE NOW IN THIS MONTH OR SO
BEFORE WE BEGAN ARE TALKING
ABOUT THE MAYOR VISION.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THAT
ANYTHING ELSE SUBCOMMITTEE
REGARDING THIS WAS A YES OR A
BROAD AGENDA.
REGARDING THAT THE SINGLE
ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY.
THAT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S
REVISITING WE THINK THAT IT'S
LIKELY TO AND IMPROVE THE
STATE'S BUDGETARY PRACTICES
WHICH COULD HAVE SOME SORT OF
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BENEFITS.
AND WILL BE WORKING WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AND COUNTIES.
DURING THE MAY REVISION PROCESS
TO DEGREE THAT THAT NEW
METHODOLOGY AFFECTS THE SINGLE
ALLOCATION.
.
ONGOING OUR OFFICE
I.
HAS BEEN TAKING PART IN THE COW
OR PROCESS STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS
AND SO WERE PRIZE OF THOSE OF
THOSE ISSUES.
AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS IN PARTICULAR TO THE
THE OTHER ISSUES WITH AN ARMY
POINT.
OKAY ALRIGHT FINANCE.
OKAY.
AB MEMBERS.
ALRIGHT SO I DO HAVE A FEW
THINGS I WANTED TO TO FOLLOW UP
ON AND FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO
THANK.
APARTMENT FOR.
PURSUING THE VISION THE SIX.
SINGLE ALLOCATION FORMULA.
I KNOW WE HAD A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THAT THE LAST BUDGET DAY
TO KIND OF THROW THE GAUNTLET
DOWN ABOUT THAT AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT THE DISCUSSION.
YOU MENTIN THAT THE RIGHT NOW
YOU WERE FOCUSING ON THE
ELIGIBILITY SIDE ASK FOR FOR
MAY.
I WAS SET ITSELF WHAT IN TERMS
OF ONGOING WORK BEYOND THAT.
WHAT'S WHAT'S NEXT THREE
TACKLING HIKES OF AN EMPLOYMENT
SERVICE WILL FOLLOW RIGHT RIGHT
BEHIND THAT CONVERSATION RELATED
TO ELIGIBILITY IN YOU KNOW IN
THOSE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE
HAD WE'VE REALLY RECOGNIZE
IS THAT OVERSEE.
IT'S THE ELIGIBILITY COMPONENT
BUT THAT EACH EACH COMPONENT
WITHIN A SINGLE IS FUNGIBLE.
SO WE'VE WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
WITHIN TE ELIGIBILITY COMPONENT
WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE STARTING
AND THERE'S THERE'S BEEN ADAM
MORGAN NEEDS ESPECIALLY IN AND
BIG SWINGS IN TERMS OF RECESSION
LEVELS AND SO FORTH IN TERMS OF
WHAT'S NEEDED TO.
PORT
COUNTY INFRASTRUCTURE IN
SUPPORTING THE FAMILIES AND S.
CASELOAD HAS DECLINED WE'VE ALSO
HEARD FROM COUNTIES THAT IT'S
ESSENTIALLY THE HARDEST TO SERVE
THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE
WORKING THROUGH.
POINT SO RIGHT AFTER ELIGIBLE
ADMINISTRATION WE'LL BE LOOKING
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES INCLUDING
CHILDCARE AT CALORIE IMPLEMENT
SERVICES
OKAY.
OKAY AND ACTUALLY.
.
I LIVE MISDIRECTED FROM THE
COUNTY STILL.
OUT AT THE.
WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AFTER
YOU DO ITEMS.
THERE BUT I DO I ASSIST
COUNTIES A PART OF THE SINGLE
ALLOCATION AND.
THAN DO I JUST COMMENT ON THE
CONVERSATIONS A IN TERMS OF
MOVING AHEAD ON DEVELOPING A
BETTER METHODOLOGY FOR SINGLE
ALLOCATION.
SURE NIGHT I CAN USE THIS IN
LIEU OF THE TESTIMONY FOR THE
ITEM FOR INVESTMENT IF.
IF IT'S A BIT COMMITTEE WHAT
WILL IT WILL STILL HEAR THAT
BECAUSE IT'S A SET
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I THINK THAT'S
RELATED WHAT'S RELATED IT'S IT
IS A SPECIFIC REQUESTS.
SO BUT MAYBE JUST COMMENT ON
SPECIFICALLY OTHER SINGLE
ALLOCATION DISCUSSION. THE
PROCESS THAT ACTUALLY THIS
SUBCOMMITTEE SORT OF INITIATED
LAST YEAR WITH THAT BUDGET
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE TO CREATE
A NEW BUDGETING METHODOLOGY IS
WELL UNDER WAY. WE'VE MADE LOT
OF PROGRESS IN IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'RE GONNA HAVE. THE
ELIGIBILITY COMPONENT SORT OF
NAILED DOWN BY THE MAY REVISION
IN THEM ROLL IMMEDIATELY TURN
OUR ATTENTION. TO THE OTHER
COMPONENTS SO WE'RE VERY PLEASED
WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION.
AND AND THAT SO RELEASE WE HAVE
DIFFERENT SEGMENTS WOULD SO.
THIS REMINDS ME OF ELIGIBILITY
WERE DOING THAT SO HOW MANY MORE
SEGMENTS DO WE HAVE TO SORT OF
EVERY THREE ADDITIONAL SEGMENT
THREE ADDITIONAL.
CALIFORNIA CHILD CARE AND DO WE
THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET TO
THE REMAINING THREE YOU. NEXT
YEAR IS A GOOD I KNOW WE GOT ONE
THIS YEAR SO THAT I KNOW HOW BIG
EACH ONE IS JUST THAT'S THE GORE
EACH EACH COMPONENT HAS A LITTLE
BIT OF A DIFFERENT TACK CASELOAD
METHODOLOGY BEHIND IT'S THAT
EXAMPLE CHILD CARE. IT FOLLOWS
THE RETAIL MARKET RATE STRUCTURE
WITHIN THE ENTIRE CHAKRA SYSTEM
SO THAT THE COST PER CASE WE WE
ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH AND
THOUSAND OTHER SET OF. RULES
THAT WILL BE A LITTLE EASIER TO
TO GO THROUGH SO EACH HAS A
LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT
BACKGROUND IN TERMS OF HOW THE
METHODOLOGY SECTOR WE DOING.
ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO WORK
THROUGH THOSE WHY PROPITIATE
THAT IT MIGHT DOCTOR PENNED THE
SEQUENCING ALSO HAD SOME LOGIC
IN THAT. EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
COMPONENT IS THE COMPONENT THAT
SORT OF. IN THE MOST SORT OF
FLUX WITH RESPECT TO THE STATE
OF PRACTICE AND ALL THE WORK
WE'RE DOING ON CAL OR. AND THE
ELIGIBILITY COMPONENT IS MORE OF
A STATIC. ELIGIBILITY IS WOOD
ELIGIBILITY IS AND SO.
BY USING THE SEQUENCE WE COULD
ADVISE THE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
COMPONENT WITH THE GOOD WORK
THAT WE'RE DOING ON CALLASPO QUE
ALRIGHT WELL I LOOK FORWARD TO.
MAY REVISE AND THE CONTINUING.
WORK THAT'S GOING ON AND
HOPEFULLY WE HAVE A MORE
RATIONAL APPROACH TO. HOW WE?
I HOPE SUPPORT DOES NOT THESE
PROCESSES THAT THE COUNTIES OF
LOS
STATE.
THE OTHER THING I WANT TO.
.
SO CHECK IN TERMS OF THE.
I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN.
IN TERMS OF.
GETTING MADE THE FINGERPRINTING.
AND THEY KNOW IT HAD. A LOT OF
DIALOGUE BACK AND FORTH.
ADVICE ONLY UNDERSTAND INDUSTRY
XIN WAYNE TO SURER INTEGRITY
AND.
AND VERIFICATION AS WELL.
I THINK YOU'LL CERTAINLY I'M
SURE THAT MY TEAM.
IS THIS LOOP THEN AND IN THESE
DISCUSSIONS I APPRECIATE THAT
THE EFFORTS TO DO THAT.
AS WELL AND I HOPE WE CAN NO
KNOW T.
BASICALLY HAVE A.
.
WE SHOULD WE TRY TO MINIMIZE THE
BURDEN AND ALSO NOW WE WE'VE IF
WE GOT RID THE FINGERPRINT
BECAUSE THE STATE LOHIA AND
DON'T REALIZE OF SOME DEBATE
ABOUT HOW EFFECTIVE OR
INEFFECTIVE IT IS BUT AT LEAST
THAT. WHAT WILL BE WHAT DATA WE
HAVE I MADE HAD TO TURN BACK TO
COULD MEASURE BUT JOE THAT
REALLY WASN'T?
THERE WAS A LOT EXPENSE FOR NOT
A WHOLE LOT. THAT.
AND.
IT DOES NOT BE SURE THAT
WHATEVER PROCESS WE DO ALSO WE'D
WANT A VOICE STIGMA AND THAT
VOID THAT. AND DO EXPENSIVE BIRD
THAT ISN'T REALLY DOING A LOT
FOR.
FOR PROGRAM INTEGRITY AS WELL
SO I APPRECIATE THAT CONTINUE
WORK THERE.
ON THAT.
OKAY.
ALRIGHT SO I THINK LOW WHILE WE
MOVE ON TO ISSUE NUMBER SIX
OVERSIGHT EARLY ENGAGEMENT
STRATEGIES.
I THINK.
YOU.
I PAGE.
GOOD AFTERNOON CANTON PLAN WITH
CDSS.
.
MONEY ON THE WRONG PAGE.
OKAY.
BOND WITH RESPECT TO EARLY
ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES FAMILY
STABILIZATION ENHANCE SUBSIDIZED
EMPLOYMENT. AND ONLINE CAL WORKS
APPRAISAL TOOL THOSE ARE ALL
PARTS OF AB SEVENTY FOUR CHAPTER
TWENTY ONE STATUTES OF TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN.
ALL THREE COMPONENTS ARE FULLY
IMPLEMENTED. ON OVERTIME AS
THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE ACTUALLY
BEEN.
BUILDING SINCE ABOUT TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN ON ACTUALLY THE BUDGET
FOR FAMILY STABILIZATION HAS
ACTUALLY INCREASED IT WAS
ORIGINALLY TWENTY NINE MILLION
ANNOUNCE ABOUT FORTY SEVEN
MILLION. BOMBED IT REALLY IS A
KEY COMPONENT TO THE SUCCESS OF
THE WHOLE CAO
IT'S PROGRAM IS IT REALLY
FOCUSED.
COM ADDRESSING BARRIERS
ADDRESSING ISSUES
CLIENTS WHO EVENTUALLY CAN
SUCCEED IN THE WELFARE TO WORK
PROGRAM BUT NEED TO THAT
STABILIZATION AND WHOLE FAMILY
LOOK RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.
AS YOUR AGENDA INDICATES TOTAL
SERVICES REACHED ABOUT SEVEN
THOUSAND AS OF JUNE OF LAST YEAR
AND THAT'S UP FROM THE PRIOR
YEAR.
TURNING TO AN HAVE SUBSIDIZED
EMPLOYMENT OR ESC.
TOTAL PARTICIPANTS HAS
INCREASED TO ABOUT TEN THOUSAND
OF PASSING THROUGH THE SYSTEM
AND WE'VE SEEN SOME REALLY GOOD
RESULTS WHEN WE CHECKED THE EDTA
EARNINGS IN TERMS OF. PRE AND
POST EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ON
POTENTIALLY EARNINGS INCREASE.
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING ACROSS A
QUARTER NOT NOT A MONTH BUT A
QUARTER OF OVER TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS INCREASE OFFER PEOPLE
HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROGRAM.
THE ONLINE CAL WORKS APPRAISAL
TOOL IS ALSO FULLY IMPLEMENTED
WE CONDUCTED ABOUT NINETY
THOUSAND APPRAISALS IN THE LAST
FISCAL YEAR. BOND THAT'S KIND OF
AN OVERVIEW OF QUESTION ONE I
CAN TURN TO TO AT THE
COMMITTEE'S PLEASURE. ABOUT
MOVING TO TO FIRST TO DISCUSS
AUTOMATION COM AS AS THE AGENDA
INDICATES NUNS WERE AWARE I'M
CURRENTLY THE O. COUNTER ONLINE
CAL WORKS APPRAISAL TOOL. IS A
STANDALONE SYSTEM AND IT
REQUIRES ON SENSUALLY WORKERS.
TO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE AT
THEIR FINGERTIPS FOR THE SAUCE
SYSTEM ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT
THE CLIENT IS RIGHT THERE. BUT
ACTUALLY TO MANUALLY ENTER
IDIOM.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT OPTIMAL
AND AT THE BACK AND ITS ABILITY
TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON AGAIN
IS ALSO KIND OF IN A STATE OF
ALERT SYSTEM.
COM SO THE GOAL IS OF COURSE TO.
TO ULTIMATELY INTEGRATE THEM.
AND A PLAN IS UNDER WAY TO DO
THAT.
THERE WILL BE.
THIS WILL BE A SHARED SERVICE
AND.
WITH A PROCUREMENT WAS SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY IN THE LEAD.
THE CONTRACT FOR THIS WILL BE
HELD BY THE CAL ACES CONSORTIA.
AND A COLLABORATIVE PLANNING
TEAM INVOLVING CAL ACES ON CAL
WIN THOSE TWO CONSORTIA ON CW DE
A.
NCSS AN OSI IS ALREADY WORKING
ON THE REBUILD PLAN COM.
THERE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF
THAT PLANNING PROCESS.
BUT I THINK THE HOPE IS THAT
THEY WOULD BE ISSUING THROUGH A
COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS AND
RFP.
TO GET PROPOSALS ON THIS FALL.
.
THE OTHER NOTE I WOULD MAKE SORT
OF ABOUT ABOUT.
CAN'T DATA ON IN THE SECOND
PART OF THE QUESTIONS A COUPLE
THINGS ONE BOQUETE WAS DESIGNED
TO BE OVERLY SENSITIVE WE WANTED
TO ASK CLIENTS ABOUT A RANGE OF
ISSUES THEY MIGHT BE HAVING.
AND YOUR GENDER DOES REPORT OUT
THE NUMBERS OF RECOMMENDATIONS.
THAT'S WHAT ACCOUNT SAWS A
RECOMMENDATION THAT'S
NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE CLIENT
OR THE WORKER AGREED WITH THAT
RESIDENT RECOMMENDATION OR
WHETHER WENT INTO THE PLAN. ON
FINALLY WHAT I WOULD SAY IS.
REALLY JUST STARTING TO LOOK AT
OUR CAT DATA AND IT IS ACTUALLY
QUITE FASCINATING WE WE HAVEN'T
COME TO THE CONCLUSIONS ARE
REALLY DONE THE ANALYSIS YET TO
KNOW. WHAT DOES THIS TELL US
ABOUT THE BARRIERS CLIENTS FACE
WHAT IS A TELESCOPE POLICY AND?
?
THAT'S DEFINITELY ON OUR TO DO
LIST.
THANK YOU.
COMMENTS FROM THE ALEJO AND
OKAY FINANCE.
MANY MEMBERS ALRIGHT. OKAY SO
WELL WE GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON TO
ISSUE NUMBER SEVEN.
WHICH IS.
WELCOME BACK TO THE FIRST.
SO THAT'S THE OVERSIGHT HOMELESS
ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING SUPPORT.
OF ALLEY SATIN AND HOUSING
ASSISTANCE AND RIGHTS BRANCH
CHIEF.
AND SO JUST TO GIVE A QUICK
UPDATE ON BOTH A HOMELESS
ASSISTANCE AND A JUST PEACE.
DE ATTENDED A REALLY GOOD JOB
OF OF DESCRIBING A LOT OF IT SO
JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW.
REMINDER IT'S IT'S CREATING TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN AS A RAPIDLY
HOUSING PROGRAM FOR CAL WORKS
FAMILIES ON THAT ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IT
STARTED OUT AS A TWENTY MILLION
DOLLAR PROGRAM HAS NOW.
INCREASED TO FORTY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLAR PROGRAM WITH FORTY NINE
COUNTIES PARTICIPATING AND THE
COUNTIES ARE REQUIRED TO RUN AYE
THE EVIDENCE BASED MODELS OF
RAPIDLY HOUSING BUT IT IS A
INTENTIONALLY FLEXIBLE PROGRAM
AND COUNTIES HAVE USED THAT. IN
REALLY GREAT WAYS.
WE ARE PLEASED TO SAY THAT
SINCE THE PROGRAM BEGAN WE'VE
ACTUALLY HAS OVER TEN THOUSAND
FAMILIES SO WE JUST HAD THAT
MARKING. IN JANUARY SO WE'RE
PLEASED TO SAY. THAT.
AND COUNTIES ARE CONTINUED IN
JUST IMPROVE THEIR PROGRAMS AS
THEY GO THEY'RE STILL REALLY
BEING ITERATIVE AND AND ANY BAND
WITH THAT THE PROGRAM AS A
WHOLE.
FDA INSIGHT VISITS I JUST
VISITING MY TWENTY SECOND COUNTY
YESTERDAY.
TO TRY TO PROVIDE THEM
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ASSISTANCE IN
THE PROGRAM.
WHERE WE'RE HEADED JUST A QUICK
FLAG REMINDER FOR FOLKS THAT THE
HOUSING FIRST RULE SB THIRTEEN
ATV COMES INTO EFFECT NEXT YEAR
SO WERE WORKING REALLY
DILIGENTLY WITH COUNTIES TO MAKE
SURE? THAT THEY WILL BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THAT.
AND ARE ALSO JUST WORKING WITH
THEM ON ON TRY DAY TO GET BETTER
DATA AROUND OUTCOMES AND
UNDERSTANDING HOW WERE.
WE'RE DOING AROUND.
IF THESE FOLKS ARE SAYING
SAYING HOUSE LONG TERM.
THANK YOU.
COMES FROM MILLION.
OKAY FINANCE NO.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS NOW ALRIGHT.
THANK YOU.
SO.
WITH THAT ACTUALLY.
ONE GET INTO CHINA DUAL SHUFFLE
HERE.
SO I KNOW WE HAVE A WHOLE
SERIES OF PROPOSALS FOR
INVESTMENTS SOME OF THEM SEEM TO
BE ASSOCIATE CERTAIN ITEMS WE'VE
HEARD.
SO ACTUALLY WANNA DO IS A TO THE
PROPOSALS INVESTMENTS IN THE
VERY SO SEATED WITH THE OVERVIEW
AND THE TWO ITEMS SO I'M GONNA
STAY HERE THOSE WILL TAKE PUBLIC
CUT BECAUSE THAT WOULD TO HOLD
SCHEDULED FOR TOGETHER.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL HEAR THOSE TO DO
PUBLIC COMMENT AT ALL THAT AND
THEN WE HAVE AND THEN WE'RE
GONNA DO THE HOME VISITATION
INITIATIVE AND THEIR TWO
THOUSAND VESTMENT AT SUNY SAYS
IT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THAT THOSE
TO. AND AND THERE'S I THINK SOME
REMAINING WHICH MAY BE
ASSOCIATED BUT WILL JUST HEAR
THEM A SEPARATE PROPOSALS FOR
INVESTMENTS SO WHAT LIKE TO DO.
AS IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS THING
AT WORK HERE SO WE GOT TO TO
PROPOSE INVESTMENT HERE RIGHT
NOW ARE SO WELL TO START OFF
WITH THIS SIXTY MONTH CLOCK.
AND SO THAT SAID STRUGGLED FOR
THE WESTERN CENTER LAW POVERTY
AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR THE RESTORE TO CUT
TO SINGLE ALLOCATION FROM THIS.
AKKA.
AND THEN.
.
I DON'T.
BOTH YES ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WE
DIDN'T.
.
IT'S GREAT LEVELS SPARK OF
BECAUSE IT'S BILL WE ARE.
ALRIGHT SO ACTUALLY GRANT LEVELS
HITS OF THE OVARY ON TRYING TO
DO THIS ALL ON THE FLY HERE SO.
WHY DON'T WE WELL WON'T END WITH
A BANG AND TALK ABOUT GRAHAM
LEVELS AT THE END FOR YOU PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE SO WHAT WE GO AHEAD
AND START WITH MISTER HAROLD
SINCE I SEE YOU'RE READY? A A L.
OKAY EXACTLY WHAT WILL YOU DO
GRANT LEVELS AT THE TIME I WAS
A.
AT THE END OF THE SERIES OF
THESE INVESTMENTS HERE SO LET'S
LET'S START OFF WITH THEM SIXTY
MONTH CLOCK.
THEY'LL DO SINGLE ALLOCATION AND
ANIMAL AND WITH GRANT LEVELS AND
IT'LL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE
OVERVIEW AND THE TO OVERSIGHT
HEARINGS. AND ACTUALLY WANT TO
COME UP TO THE.
TABLE FOR SO LET'S START WITH A
SIXTEEN MONTH CLOCK SO I'LL GIVE
THE GRANT LEVEL PEOPLE BECAUSE I
KNOW THERE'S A LARGER CROWD. GET
THEM TO GIVE SOME TIME TO GET
READY SINCE OBSERVE TAKING
GETTING PEOPLE OFF GUARD. SO YOU
TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AND
ALRIGHT.
BOB THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MY
CAROL WITH WESTERN CENTER ON LAW
AND POVERTY COME PLEASED TO.
MAKE THIS PROPOSAL TODAY
ADVOCATES PROPOSAL FOR
INVESTMENT BOMB MISTER BLAND
EARLIER TODAY I THINK DESCRIBED
IN THE ANALYSIS THAT YOU'VE PUT
OUT BY THE COMMITTEE I THINK
EXPLAIN SOME OF THE HISTORY THAT
WE'VE HAD HOW WE GOT TO THE
POINT WHERE WE HAVE. A FORTY
EIGHT MONTH CLOCK CALIFORNIA IS
IN THE MINORITY STATES I WOULD
KNOW AROUND THE COUNTRY. AVOID
HAVING OF LESS THAN SIXTY MONTHS
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED
UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
AND AT THE TIME THAT THE
SIXTEEN MONTH CLOCK WAS MOVED
DOWN TO FORTY EIGHT MONTHS BOMB
WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF A SEVERE
FISCAL CRISIS AND. THE GOVERNOR
HAD JUST COME INTO OFFICE HE WAS
GETTING OUR FISCAL SHIP IN
ORDER.
HE OBVIOUSLY ALONG WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF THE LEGISLATURE
AUTUMN WE'VE MADE WHEN THEY'RE
ENORMOUS STRIDES WE NOW HAVE A
VERY STRONG SURPLUS. BOMB AND SO
IN THE CONTEXT OF THAT THE TIME
CLOCK WAS TAKEN DOWN FORTY EIGHT
MONTHS BOMB WE SAW THAT AS
REALLY AN ATTEMPT TO TRY TO
ADDRESS THE STATE'S FISCAL
ENVIRONMENT. HE WAS NEVER IN OUR
JUDGMENT EVER BACKED UP WITH ANY
KIND OF DATA THAT SHOWED THAT
CLIENTS BENEFITTED MORE OR
WOULD.
BE ABLE TO PROCEED WELFARE TO
WORK ON HIM FORTY EIGHT MONTH
CLOCK BETTER THAN A SIXTY MONTH
CLOCK THE FACT IS IS. REALLY
THERE'S REALLY NO REAL EMPIRICAL
DATA THAT A SIXTEEN MONTH
CLOCKWORKS
SOME FAMILIES NEED LESS PACKED
MOST FAMILIES NEED LESS THAN
SIXTY MONTHS TO GET THROUGH THE
PROGRAM. OTHER FAMILIES NEED
MORE BUT SO IN MY EXPERIENCE
WHAT I'VE SEEN IT O. IN TALKING
TO WORKING THE COUCH RECIPIENTS
DIRECTLY. IS THAT.
SOME OF THEM IN THEIR COLLEGE
PROGRAMS ARE BUMPING UP AGAINST
THE FORTY EIGHTH MONTH CLOCK.
AND THEIR PROGRAM IS STILL
CONTINUING BECAUSE IT TAKES A
LONG TIME TO GET THROUGH COLLEGE
AND GET THROUGH.
OR CERTIFICATE PROGRAM NOW I
MEAN EVEN WITH MORE ROBUST
FUNDING AT THE COMMUNITY IN
STATE COLLEGE LEVELS THAT IS
STILL THE ISSUE. SO.
FAMILIES COME TO ME THEY SAY
I'M WRITING MY FREQUENT CLOCK I
GOT MY NOTICE BUT MY PROGRAMS TO
EXTEND TURN OF THE SIX MONTHS.
I'M GONNA LOSE ALL MY
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.
SO THESE ARE THE FAMILIES THAT
ARE BEING AFFECTED I THINK MOST
DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY THEY'RE
HAVING TO MAKE A VERY DIFFICULT
CHOICE THEY HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH
SUBSTANTIAL QUARTER OF THEIR
WELFARE TO WORK PROGRAM. BUT
THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH
THIS SEEMS TO BE NOT A WISE
INVESTMENT OF OUR DOLLARS TO
STOP AT THAT POINT.
AND THEN I THINK THERE ARE THE
ADDITIONAL FAMILIES TO REALLY DO
STRUGGLE AND REALLY HAVE TROUBLE
GETTING INTO EMPLOYMENT WORK AND
THEY NEED THAT ADDITIONAL TIME.
MUCH LIKE YOU MIGHT SEE YOU YOU
KNOW WE GIVE X. ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT
AREPROGRAM WHO NEEDED ADDITIONAL
TIME ACCOMMODATIONS IN ORDER TO
BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THROUGH THE
WELFARE TO WORK PROGRAM. SO FOR
THESE REASONS WE WOULD REQUEST
THAT THE LEGISLATURE CONSIDER.
REINSTATING THE SIXTEEN MONTH
CLOCK FOR COWARDS RECIPIENTS OF
ALL FAMILIES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE FULL FEDERAL LAW THE WAY IT
WAS INTENDED BY CONGRESS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
OKAY THANK YOU.
ANY COMES FROM THE PARTS OF
SERVICES ALEJO.
FINANCE.
TIGER WOODS FANS I THINK WE ARE
JUST NOT THAT WE HAVEN'T
EVALUATED THIS PROPOSAL BASED ON
UPDATED CASELOAD BUT. IN RECENT
YEARS AND WE'VE EVALUATED
PROPOSAL SIMILAR TO THE US COSTS
WOULD LIKELY BE IN EXCESS OF A
HUNDRED MILLION ANNUALLY ON
GOING.
REMEMBERS.
SO SO I ACTUALLY DID THEY HAVE
IT SO.
CHAIRMAN.
SO AS WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW I
MEAN I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT ARE
ECONOMIC TIMES A BIT BETTER NOW
IN THE COURSE OF THE CHANGE
POLICY INVERSE ON THE RECESSION
HITS BUT.
.
SOME PEOPLE NEED MORE OR LESS I
MEAN HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE
REALLY HE SAID HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS HOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
YOU LOOKING AT BECAUSE WE NOW
CHANGE CLOCK WHERE IT IS NOW UP
TO.
THAT MEANS.
AND WE STILL DO THE SAME THINGS
ARE DOING NOW I MEAN DO WE.
AT DO YOU REALLY EXPECT THAT
MANY MORE PEOPLE OR.
SAID MEMBER WE SAID A
PRESENTATION ABOUT.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY
HITTING UP THE OTHER CLOCK
WASN'T VERY LARGE?
I MEAN THIS ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE
EXTENDING ELIGIBILITY FOR AN
ADDITIONAL YEAR SO LIKE I SAID
WE DON'T HAVE AN EVALUATION THAT
SPACE SOME RECENT CASELOAD OKAY.
IF QUE SON HASN'T CHANGED THAT
MUCH SINCE OUR RECENT ONE WE CAN
PROBABLY ASSUME THAT ST THE
BALLPARK OF A HUNDRED MILLION OR
SO.
IT'S AYE IT AYE JUST YELL AGAIN
FROM MY PAST US TO MONTHS ON.
THE THE COST IS MOSTLY IN THE
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES A RATE IT'S
NOT REALLY ON THE COST OF SORT
OF ADDING BASS.
THE ADULT PORTION OF THE GRANT
THAT NUMBERIS ACTUALLY THAT'S
IN THE LOW TENS OF MILLIONS IT'S
MOSTLY FROM THE SERVICE IS A
RIGHT.
I'M GOING OFF OF
JUST THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT A
YOU KNOW I I THINK WE WERE
LOOKING AT A CASE FINDING IN THE
RANGE OF OVER THIRTY THOUSAND
CASES. ON CASES ARE SORT OF
MOVING INTO WHAT WE CALL THE
SAFETY NET AND THAT IS A GROUP
THAT IS THE ONE PORTION THE CASE
OF THIS SO GROWING US OUR
SENSUALLY PEOPLE ARE. POST FORTY
EIGHT MONTHS KNOWS NUMBERS ARE
GOING UP.
THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
EXACTLY HOW THE PROPOSAL WOULD
WORK WOULD IT BE RETROACTIVE
WOULD IT RESTORE WOULD IT JUST
BE GOING FORWARD. PALM BUT
ESSENTIALLY.
IT AT THE END IN TERMS OF THE
COST DRIVER IT'S REALLY THE
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND
CHILDCARE AND THE SUPPORTER RAY
FOR THOSE FAMILIES FOR THE EXTRA
TWELVE MONTHS.
OKAY PART AND THE DE LEóN OF
THE PLEA MINISTRATIONS POSITIONS
IT'S A MATTER IF IT'S A MATTER
PRIORITIES WE WE WE DON'T WE WE
WERE. WE WOULDN'T DISAGREE WITH
THE POLICY CHANGE OKAY BUT
THAT'S HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND
OKAY.
ANY FOR THE FELT NO I JUST I
THINK SOMETHING MISTER BLAND
SAID IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHICH
IS THAT AT THE END OF THE
FOURTEEN FORTY EIGHT MONTHS.
YOU THE MOST OF THESE CASES ARE
GOING INTO THE SAFETY NET THAT
IS A GROWING PART OF THE
CASELOAD SO WE'RE KEEPING THE
CHILDREN ON THE ASSISTANCE ROLE
BUT. AGAIN AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN
THIS IS A COMMITTEE BEFORE ARMED
WERE ALSO TAKING OUT THE ADULTS
PORTION OF THE GRANT. THEY'RE
NOW LIVING ON A GRANT THAT IS
FOR TWO PEOPLE WHICH MEANS TO
THE DEGREE TO WHICH THOSE CASES
ARE IN DEEP POVERTY TO BEGIN
WITH THERE AND MUCH DEEPER
POVERTY DOWN. CLOSER TO THIRTY
THREE PERCENT OR THIRTY FOUR
PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY
LEVEL AT THAT POINT AGAIN A
REALLY NEGATIVE OUTCOME OR
CONSEQUENCE MET PAUL.
THURMOND IN THAT THAT WAS KIND
OF MY QUESTION WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE FORTY EIGHT MONTHS.
AND.
ON.
IS THERE A TIME PERIOD THAT
SOMEBODY KID RIEN RALPH TAKES
RUN OUT THE CLOCK.
THEY DON'T FIND EMPLOYMENT.
IS THERE ANY TIME THAT THEY'RE
ELIGIBLE. TO REAPPLY. FOR FAMILY
SUPPORT. THE WAY THE FORTY A
MONTH CLOCKWORK SAYS ONCE THE
FORTY EIGHT MONTHS ARE ARE
EXHAUSTED ON THAT REALLY A
SYSTEM OF EXTENSIONS
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT THAT
POINT THE CHILDREN CONTINUE TO
BE A THAT. ARE THROUGH WHAT WE
CALL THE SAFETY NET SOME OF
THOSE MEN MISTER HELD POINTED
OUT. I CALIFORNIA. I THINK IS IN
A MINORITY OF STATES THAT HAS AN
OVERALL TIME LIMIT. LESS THAN
SIXTY MONTHS CALIFORNIA IS IN
THAT ROOM HUGE MCCARTY STATES
THAT CONTINUES A LONG TERM
SUPPORT FOR THE CHILDREN WHICH
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CALIFORNIA
VALUE THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY WE CALIFORNIA'S TARA PROGRAM
IS COMPARED TO THE REST THE
NATION. ON CALVIN CALIFORNIA WE
ARE WE ARE ESSENTIALLY THROUGH
OUR CAL WORKS PROGRAM
SUPPORTING.
IN THE RANGE OF FIFTY TO FIFTY
FIVE PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN
POVERTY IN THE STATE WHERE IS
THE NATIONAL NUMBERS ARE MORE
LIKE TWENTY PERCENT. BUT AGAIN
BACK TO A MISTER HAROLD WAS
SAYING IT'S IT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE REMOVING
THE ADULT. AND ESSENTIALLY THE
LOSS OF THE EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT
SERVICES THAT GO WITH IT AT THAT
POINT.
MAKES IT FOR THE FAMILY UNIT.
THEY'RE STILL A CONTRACTION OF
SUPPORT EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ABLE
TO MAINTAIN SUPPORT FOR THE
CHILDREN. A IT'S CONTRACTION
THAT THERE'S NO PROSPECT OF
RECOVERING UNLESS WE WERE TO
EXTEND. IT TO SIXTEEN MONTHS
SOME. IN IT WOULD BE A. FOR
SOME.
BUT TEMPORARY SAFETY. NET STILL
WITH AN END POINT FOR FOR THE
ADULT SUPPORT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU I THINK IT WILL TAKE
SO MUCH LET'S LET'S GO ON THAT
WOULD THAT THE SINGLE RESTORE
CUT TO SINGLE ALLOCATION.
MR MICA HERE.
AND JUST A REMINDER WE ASK THAT.
WE TOOK A FEW KEY TO
PRESENTATIONS TO THREE MINUTES
OR LESS AND LESS IS ALSO IS
APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN TAKE
PERSONALLY AT ALL THE REMINDER.
OF.
I'VE GIVEN YOU CHEN I KNOW I'VE
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT THE
BUDGETING METHODOLOGY IN THE
RATIONALE FOR SO I WON'T. REPEAT
THAT PART.
SO THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AS WAS
PROPOSED IN JANUARY.
BASICALLY HELD HARMLESS TO THE
CURRENT YEAR LEVEL THE
ELIGIBILITY PORTION OF THE
SINGLE ALLOCATION IT DID THOUGH
IT JUST FOR CASELOAD THE
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND
CHILDCARE.
THE RESULT OF THAT JANUARY
DECISION WAS TO REDUCE
FROM LAST YEAR TO WHAT NEXT YEAR
BY ABOUT FIFTY FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS A SINGLE APPLICATION.
AND JUST ON TOP OF ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND.
FORTY MILLION DOLLAR CUT LAST
YEAR. A SIMILAR SIZE CUT THE
YEAR BEFORE I'M COUNTIES
REPORTING DEEP CUTS ON IN THEIR
OPERATIONS BOTH IN TERMS OF
THEIR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES THEY
OFFER BUT ALSO THE BASIC
ELIGIBILITY IN.
SURE
IT'S OUR REQUEST WOULD BE TO
HOLD AT LEAST HOLD US HARMLESS
FOR THE CURRENT YEAR UNTIL THE
REST OF THAT. BUDGETING
METHODOLOGY CAN BE PUT ONLINE.
DE THE GOVERNOR THE
LEGISLATURE'S AND GREAT WORK
WITH THE PRIMERS ARE FOR THE
STATE GENERAL FUND PREPARING FOR
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. OUR PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE SAFETY NET HAS TO
HAVE THE CAPACITY ARM AS WELL SO
I THAT IS OUR REQUEST AND I
UNDERSTAND THE ADMINISTRATION.
YOU KNOW IS WORKING ON THIS IN
THE MAY REVISION WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH ADMINISTRATION
AND THE LEGISLATURE AS A CAUSE
FOR.
THANK YOU COMES FROM SOCIAL
SERVICES NOW ATLEO.
FINANCE.
RIGHT QUESTIONS COMMITTEE
MEMBERS OKAY SO I JUST SAY IS IS
THAT.
CLEARLY YOU KNOW AS WE'RE
TRYING DEVELOP THE METHODOLOGY.
WE WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE HAVE
ADEQUATE BRIDGE ANY PART THE
PURPOSE WAS TO BE SHOWING
MAINTAIN THE INTEREST.
SORRY.
TO
DO YOU THE PROGRAMS ALSO THE
RESPONSIVE WHEN AND ECONOMIC
DOWNTURN HAPPENS THAT WE DON'T
GOT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND NOW
WE HAVE TO RAMP UP AGAIN SO.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN I HOPE THAT
THE DISCUSSIONS WILL BE FRUITFUL
AND WILL HAVE A CERTAINLY WANT
TO LOOK AT US SOME FUNDING TO BE
SURE THAT. WE ACHIEVED THE
OVERALL AIM OF PROTECT OF
CORRECT ANSWERS AS WE DEVELOP A
YOUNG RAP MORE RATIONALIZE
METHODOLOGY TO TO TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO HANDLE THAT THE FUTURE
OF.
ALRIGHT.
OKAY NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT.
THE.
THE PROPOSAL TO END CHILDHOOD

TIME HERE.
SO WHO WANTS TO BE TO US.
I THINK YOU MISTER CHAIR FRANK
MEG MECCA AGAIN THIS TIME ON
BEHALF OF A LARGE COALITION OF
GROUPS.
THE URGING THE LEGISLATURE TO
RAISE CAL ARTS GRANTS AND THE
POVERTY.
THE COMMITTEE HAS HEARD THE
RATIONALE QUITE A BIT BEFORE BUT
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TO.
.
WE STAYED IN BE CLEAR THAT THE
RESEARCH IS CLEAR THAT LIVING IN
DEEP POVERTY IS DEVASTATING
EFFECTS ON CHILDREN. YOU KNOW
THIS AS WELL AS ANYONE IT
LITERALLY DAMAGES THEIR
DEVELOPING BRAINS CHILDREN
LIVING IN POVERTY HAVE AN
AVERAGE OF SEVEN TO TEN PERCENT
LESS GRAY MATTER.
AND THEIR FRONTAL LOBE THE
TEMPORAL LOBE IN THEIR
HIPPOCAMPUS.
IT RESULT IN A LIFETIME OF
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES DECREASING
THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL
LESSENING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM
FINDING A WELL PAYING JOB.
INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF
MUCH POORER HEALTH OUTCOMES AND
BEING INVOLVED IN THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM BUT ALSO FUELS
THE INTERGENERATIONAL CYCLE OF
POVERTY BECAUSE PORK CHOP.
BOB ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE POOR
AS ADULTS.
I'M ALSO IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT
OUT THAT DEEP POVERTY THAT
CHARACTER AND WAS LIVING.
IT'S THE ABILITY OF PARENTS TO
MOVE FROM WELFARE TO WORK.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DAILY
STRUGGLE IS SUBSISTENCE AND
AVOIDING DESTITUTION AND
WONDERING HOW WE'RE GONNA LIVE
AT NIGHT YOUR. TE COME TO.
PARTAKE IN THOSE ACTIVITIES THAT
WE PROVIDE GOOD ACTIVITIES TO
HELP YOU MOVE FROM WELFARE TO
WORK.
BUT IT IS SEVERELY COMPROMISED
AND AND PROBABLY AN UNREALISTIC
UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION FOR MANY
PEOPLE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE
KNOW THAT RAISING GRANTS WILL
WORK THE RESEARCH IS ALSO CLEAR
THAT RELATIVELY MODEST
INCREASES.
AND THE NETTING AND FAMILY
INCOME OF VERY POOR FAMILIES
IMPROVES FAMILY FUNCTION
FUNCTIONING AND THE WELL BEING
OF CHILDREN AND THERE'S.
QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH EMERGING
THAT SUGGESTS THAT THAT THAT'S
THE CASE.
I'M ARE JUST CLOSE BY SAYING
THAT IF WE.
IF WE HAD A PATHOGEN IN THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT WE KNEW DAMAGE
KIDS BRAINS AS BADLY AS WE KNOW
DEEP POVERTY DOES AND WE KNEW
HOW TO ERADICATE IT WE WOULD
NOT.
HESITATE.
BUT THESE THINGS WE KNOW AND
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE
KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE HIGHEST
CHILD POVERTY RATE IN THE
NATION.
AN ALARMING NUMBER OF CHILDREN
LIVING IN DEEP POVERTY I THINK
IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE AS A
STATE DON'T DO EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO ERADICATE THAT PATHOGEN OF
THE POVERTY.
OKAY GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
CLAIRE LOOK SCHULTZ AND I'M HERE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL
COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN.
AND THE CALIFORNIA INTERFAITH
COALITION.
IN SUPPORT OF ENDING DEEP
CHILDHOOD POVERTY BY RAISING THE
FLOOR FOR CAL WORKS GRANTS TO
FIFTY PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL
POVERTY LEVEL. IN ADDITION TO
THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OTHER
INTERFAITH COALITION MEMBERS
INCLUDE STATEWIDE FAITH BASED
ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT
MANY OF THE PEOPLE OF FAITH IN
CALIFORNIA. THE FRIENDS
COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION.
CALIFORNIA CHURCH IMPACT.
CATHOLIC.
CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE
THE LUTHERAN OFFICE OF PUBLIC
POLICY AND THE JEWISH PUBLIC
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
AND WHILE OUR FATES MAY AT TIMES
HAVE DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW.
WE ALL AGREE THAT ALLEVIATING
POVERTY IN CALIFORNIA IS AN
URGENT MORAL ISSUE.
THIS FAITH BASED COMMITMENT IS
DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN THE CORE
BELIEF OF THE DIGNITY OF EVERY
HUMAN BEING.
AND OUR RESPECTIVE STATES COMPEL
US TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH THE
MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US VERY
POOR CHILDREN. WHOSE DIGNITY IS
ASSAULTED AND DENIED WHEN THEY
ARE HUNGRY AND UNDER TOXIC
STRESS
WHEN THEY ARE ASHAMED BECAUSE OF
THEIR DEPRAVATION WHEN THEY LIVE
IN CONDITIONS WHICH CURTAILED
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
ARABIC COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF
EXODUS REMINDS US THAT QUOTE
NOTHING IT'S HARDER TO BEAR THAN
POVERTY. FOR HE WHO IS CRUSHED
BY POVERTY IS LIKE ONE TO WHOM
ALL THE TROUBLE OF THE WORLD
CLING. IF ALL OTHER TROUBLES
WERE PLACED ON ONE SIDE AND
POVERTY AND THE OTHER. POVERTY
WOULD OUTWEIGH THEM ALL.
THE RESPECTIVE FACE OF COALITION
MEMBERS BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL
OF ONE COMMUNITY ALL BROTHERS
AND SISTERS. ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR
EACH OTHER. AND ONLY WHEN WE ACT
ON THAT RESPONSIBILITY CAN WE BE
A BETTER COMMUNITY AND INDEED
STATE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
THE CALIFORNIA BUDGET PROVIDES
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT.
AND AS THE REVEREND MARTIN
LUTHER KING JUNIOR SAID THE
DOCUMENT.
INDEED THE CALIFORNIA BUDGET
REFLECTS THE STATE'S PRIORITIES
IT MIRRORS WHO WE ARE AND WHAT
WE VALUE. IT HOLDS THE FUTURE OF
OUR MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN.
AND SO THE CALIFORNIA INTERFAITH
COALITION RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU
TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF CAL
ARTS FUNDING TO FAMILIES. MAKING
SURE THAT NO CHILD FALLS OR
REMAINS IN DEEP POVERTY.
A KEY.
MY NAME IS GOOD THERE'S A LOT
GOING I'M IN THE MIDDLE BY HIM
VOICES AND I'M HERE TO TESTIFY
BECAUSE WHAT I'D THEY SEEM IS
MY EVERY DAY LIFE?
I AM EXPERIENCE IN ALL OF THESE
TRAUMAS AND PINKS. ATTIRE I GREW
UP ON READING ONE BOOK.
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND.
.
BECAUSE MIKE MY BUNS COULDN'T
AFFORD TO BUY ME MORE.UP BUT I
WHEN I GROW UP I WANT MY
CHILDREN TO HAVE EVERYTHING.
AND.
I USE THAT YOU KNOW THAT MY
HUSBAND AND I YOU WANT ONE TEAM
WOULD PROVIDE A BEATING AT THE
BEGINNING OF THEIR LIVES.
UNFORTUNATELY MY HUSBAND END UP.
LIVING IN MEXICO BECAUSE OF THAT
IMMIGRATION BROKEN SYSTEM.
AND THEM I BECAME A SINGLE
MOTHER.
WITH TWO KIDS.
I SAW AND LOST MY JOB.
AND. I BUT I STRUGGLE TO TAKE
CARE OF MY CHILDREN.
I HELPED GOAL BANK CHILD CARE
COULDN'T AFFORD IT.
SO THEN I END UP DECIDING TO
ENTER THAT THE COLOR WORK
CEASED.
UNCLE BUCK TO SCHOOL.
BUT WHO WOULD END LIKE A CAREER
I WANTED TO BECOME A TEACHER.
SO I GRADUATED LAST YEAR.
AND THE AND THE UP CLOSE
RELATING NEXT YEAR TO GOING TO
THE PREVENTION PROGRAM BE SUBTLE
PROCESS TO TWENTY FOUR MONTHS IS
NOT ENOUGH IS RIDICULOUS.
.
BUT I. EDUCATE MYSELF
I TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN. AND
THEM.
MEANWHILE HELL I FIND OUT THAT
MIGHT MY OLDEST CHILD HAD
SPECIAL NEEDS.
SOCIAL MEDIA BEN IN SEOUL DE
BODIES
FOR HIM TO START VOTE PUBLISHED
HIS WALK.
I THINK WHAT HE'S WHAT. HE'S
WORKED SO I AM.
IF YOU ASKED ME HOW YOU SPEND MY
MONEY RIGHT NOW WITH THE MONEY
THE INCOME THAT.
I HAVE I JUST BEEN. NICOLE
DECLINE AMOUNT.
PAYING THE RENT.
I DO WANT TO SPENDING AND I ALSO
COME COMPLETE PART OF THE RENT
WITH THAT WORK THE SPENDING. AND
I'M SHORT TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS.
SO I GO TO PRINT IT BUT
SOMETIMES I BY REMINDING OR AYE.
I DO WHAT I NEED TO.
THANK GOD FOR FOOD STAMPS
BECAUSE.
THAT ALSO AFFECTS MONEY MY
BUDGET.
BUT IF I DID OR ACCEPT ANY ANY
JOB.
FOOD TAMPS COME DOWN AND THEN
MY WHOLE AT THE COURT SYSTEM.
STOPS RIGHT.
SO I HAD TO BORROW MONEY TO BUY
FOOD.
AND. IT'S IT EVERY MONTH I'M
STRUGGLING TO TO SURVIVE AND
TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. AND
SUPPORT MY FAMILY.
SO.
IF YOU ASK ME WHAT HOW WOULD I
SPENT EXTRA MONEY.
NOW.
I WOULD LIKE COM PUT SOME MONEY
INDICATE TO TWELVE PROGRAM THAT
BUSINESS SAN FRANCISCO. IT'S
LIKE.
THE PROGRAM THAT TO HELP TO.
SAVE TWENTY DOLLARS.
IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN
TO POLITICAL.
BUT I CANNOT.
PUT ANY MONEY BECAUSE US RIGHT
NOW YOU KNOW WHICH WERE REALLY
REALLY REALLY STRUGGLING.
ECONOMICALLY STRUGGLING SO.
THEN ANOTHER THING I WOULD DO I
WOULD BUY ANOTHER IN SEOUL. FOR
MY SON BECAUSE HE'S GROWING AYE
HE NEEDS LIKE TO CHANGE THAT
EVERY.
EVERY THREE MONTHS
AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THAT.
AND MEDI CAL DOESN'T CORPORATE I
THINK CONTEXT ONLY ONCE A YEAR.
WELL. ANOTHER THING I WOULD DO I
WOULD PAY FOR THERAPY BECAUSE WE
WE WENT TO A LOT OF.
TRAUMA. AND I THINK THAT'S THE
ONLY REASON THAT THE ONLY WAY WE
CAN OVERCOME.
MANY MANY STRUGGLES.
AND FINALLY I WOULD. YOU KNOW I
BECAME AN ADVOCATE OF CHILDREN
AND FAMILIES WHILE I'LL AND IN
THE CAR WORKS SO I WON I WANTED
TO ASK YOU.
PEACE PEACE.
THREE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY
DONE THE SENATOR.
THEY DID THE CHILDREN THAT LIVE
IN POVERTY BECAUSE THEY'VE DONE
BE SENT THAT KIND OF FUTURE THAT
KIND OF.
THANK YOU.
OOPS I THANK YOU.
COMES FROM AGENCY.
HELLO.
FINANCE.
TIGER WOODS FINANCING THINK WE
WERE JUST NOT THAT TO THE EXTENT
OF THIS BECOMES A PRIORITY FOR
THE LEGISLATURE INCREASING CAL
WORKS GRANTS TO FIFTY PERCENT OF
THE POVERTY LEVEL WOULD. BE A
ROUGHLY EIGHT HUNDRED TEN
MILLION ANNUALLY ONGOING GENERAL
FUND SINCE TEN A FUNDS OUR FULLY
ALLOCATED.
OKAY HUNDRED AND OKAY.
CENTER MONEY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. PETRA
THINK THE WITNESSES IN
PARTICULAR THANK YOU FOR
SHARING.
YOUR FAMILY'S STORY AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE BEING HERE
TODAY AND FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING
EVERY DAY WE WISH YOU THE VERY
BEST.
RIGHT NOW THANK YOU.
.
SO ANYWAY I THANK YOU ALSO FOR.
A PRESENTATION ON THANK YOU FOR.
SHARING YOUR STORY
YEAH I THINK WE.
.
FAQ YEAH I.
BUT YOUR OF BECAUSE UP CHAIR USE
THE MEDICAL ANALOGY.
BUT CLEARLY I THINK THAT.
I MEAN YOU BEAT THAT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT POINT.
WE'D WE KNOW THAT.
FAMILIES AND POVERTY.
.
ACTUALLY ARE NOT SURPRISINGLY.
BUT YET PEOPLE ALWAYS RECOGNIZE
IT OFTEN HAVE THEIR OFTEN HAVE
TO BE HAVE TO BE PREOCCUPIED
WITH. WHAT DID I DO THE NEXT
MOMENT THE NEXT DAY EIGHT HOW TO
SURVIVE AND?
AND ACTION RESEARCH HAS SHOWN
THAT IT'S REALLY HARD WHEN YOUR
NET SITUATION
TO MAKE LONG TERM DECISIONS FEEL
THE WIND SHOULD DO THIS IT'S ARE
AND THE AVS POINT OUT PEOPLE'S
ARGUE THAT SHE EXPENSIVE TO BE
POOR.
I THINK THAT SHE COSTS MORE YOU
KNOW YOU DON'T GET IN A YEAR TO
A BANK IS IT WILL GIVE YOU FREE
CHECKING IF YOU HAVE BUT.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT
YOU NEED TO BORROW SOME MONEY
YOU OFTEN HAVE TO PAY A LOT
MORE.
TO BORROW THAT MONEY EVEN JUST A
SMALL AMOUNT. OF ALL OF THE
COULD DISCOUNTS YOU GET ARE FOR
PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY.
CONDUCT OR BUSINESS RIGHT SO YOU
DON'T GET YOU KNOW YOU GET
FREEBIES ARE YOU DON'T GET THE
DISCOUNTS. THAT.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE A LITTLE MORE
MONEY OFF AND GET.
SO AND.
JUST GETTING FROM PLACE TO
PLACE AND FRANKLY ACTUALLY EVEN
OUR OWN GOVERNMENT WHEN TIMES
ARE BAD THROUGH MORE BERRIES
FROM THE PEOPLE.
IN THE HOPES THAT WE CAN DRIVE
DOWN CASELOADS ARE OTHER TYPES
OF THINGS.
AND.
SO.
.
BUT OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF MONEY
APPRECIATE FINANCE DURING THEIR
ESTIMATE.
BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING.
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT AND WE
ARE PAYING WE'VE ALSO WE NEED TO
LOOK AT HOW MUCH IT'S COSTING US
TO.
RIGHT OUT HOW MUCH THE COST
INNOCENT ADDITIONAL SERVICES WE
HAVE TO PROVIDE WHICH. WE PAY
PART OF.
BOB.
AT LEAST SOME OF IT.
WHAT'S THE CONSEQUENCE TO THAT
IN TERMS OF FUTURE PRODUCTIVITY
I'D POINT OUT THAT ACTUALLY
WASN'T THAT MANY YEARS AGO MADE.
CORRECT ME
AND WHICH WE'VE ACTUALLY PASSED
THE POINT WATER OVER HALF OF THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA
ACTUAL WERE BORN IN CALIFORNIA
SO I SHE CALIFORNIA'S GENTLY
BEEN A STATE OF IMMIGRANTS FROM
EITHER OVERSEAS OR EVEN FROM
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. AND
WE ARE A GROWING PORTION OF OUR
POPULATION ARE PEOPLE WHO GREW
UP IN CALIFORNIA WE ARE MORE
DEPENDENT PEOPLE WHO.
WERE GREW UP IN REYES AND
CALIFORNIA AND THAT INCLUDES.
FAMILIES WHO HAVE EARNED THE
PARTY WITH CHILDREN IN DEEP
POVERTY GROWING UP AND DEPENDING
ON THAT FOR OUR WORK FORCE.
AND ALSO IF THEY HAVE NEEDS THAT
PERSIST FROM CHILDHOOD INTO
ADULTHOOD BECAUSE OF THAT
DEFICIENCIES DEFICITS.
THAT HAVE BEEN IMPOSED DURING
CHILDHOOD THAT WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO PAY TO SUPPORT AS WELL.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT
THAT ENTIRE EQUATION WE THINK
ABOUT WHAT REALLY IS A TRADE OFF
IT IT'S EASY YOU KNOW WE CAN SAY
IT'S GONNA COST EIGHT HUNDRED
AND TEN MILLION ON AN ONGOING
BASIS.
EACH YEAR.
TO DO THIS BUT WE ALSO NEED TO
THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH ARE WE
PAYING.
BECAUSE WE
IF WE DON'T CHANGE IT AS WELL SO
I REALIZE IT'S A COMPLICATED
THING TO FIGURE OUT. MAYBE IT'S
NOT BUT WOULDN'T BE DO NEED TO
AYE I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
TO LOOK AT WHAT THE WHAT THE
ALTERNATIVES TO.
YEAH WE DON'T DO ANYTHING WHAT'S
THE COST THAT'S THE REAL
COMPARISON NOT JUST IT'S ZERO
VERSES EIGHT AND TEN MILLION.
FROM THAT STANDPOINT ABOUT
SOMEBODY THAT HAS BEEN WORKING
ON HUMAN SERVICES HIS ENTIRE
CAREER. IT IT DOES.
IT'S NOT LOST ON US THAT WHERE.
WERE. BETTER ABLE TO LOOK AT THE
LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS.
BUT THIS INVESTMENT IN
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR AIR QUALITY.
.
BUT THE RESEARCH IS NO LESS
COMPELLING.
ON.
HUMAN SERVICES ISSUES AND.
.
THERE ANY NUMBER OF THEORIES AS
TO WHY WE'RE BETTER ABLE TO
REALLY THINK TWENTY YEARS AHEAD
WHEN IT COMES TO THE AIR.
.
OR TRANSPORTATION FOR EXAMPLE
THAN WE ARE. THE HUMAN CAPITAL
OF PEOPLE LIVING IN VERY DEEP
POVERTY BUT.
.
THAT THIS THIS THE SCIENTIFIC
BASIS FOR MAKING THOSE
CALCULATIONS AND MAKING THOSE
INVESTMENTS IS NO LESS
COMPELLING.
YOU COMES PRICE THAT WHAT WE'RE
GONNA DO THIS WHEN TAKE.
PUBLIC COMMENTS UPON THIS TO BE
CLEAR. THAT WE HAVE THE OVERVIEW
OF CAO WORKS WE DO HAVE.
WE ALSO HAD.
THE OVERSIGHT WE DON'T EARLY
ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND THE.
HOMELESS ASSISTANCE HOUSING
SUPPORT AND THEN WE HAD OUR
THREE.
PROPOSED OF INVESTMENT THAT WE
HEARD AFTER THOSE ITEMS WHICH IS
WE JUST HEARD ENDING TELL TO
DEEP POVERTY. OUT RESTORING
SIXTY MONTH CLOCK AND THEN I
RESTRAINED CUT THE SINGLE
ALLOCATIONS SO PEOPLE COME UP TO
THE MICROPHONE IF YOU CAN TRY TO
KEEP YOUR COMMENTS UNDER A
MINUTE I'D BE APPRECIATED I
REALIZE THERE'S. QUITE A FEW
ITEMS IN THAT
TAP THEIR WELCOME.
THANK YOUR MACHINE ALSO PREVENTS
HE CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND
CALIFORNIA A WANT TO STRONGLY
SUPPORT THE EFFORT TO AND IT DID
CHILD POVERTY IN THE COWARDS
PROGRAM. A MORE THAN A HUNDRED
ORGANIZATIONS THEY SHARE HAVE
SUPPORTED ON THIS EFFORT.
SPANNING EDUCATION GROUPS CHILD
WELFARE GROUPS HEALTH GROUPS
BECAUSE EACH CHILD POVERTY IS SO
INTRICATELY CONNECTED TO THOSE
ISSUES.
AND I JUST WANT TO UNDERSCORE
THAT.
IF WE'RE NOT PAYING THE COST TO
REMOVE REMOVE THESE CHILDREN
FROM DEEP CHILD POVERTY NOW WE
ARE GOING TO BE PAYING THE
COSTS.
AT A LATER POINT GIVEN THE
TREMENDOUS IMPACT THAT THIS HAS
IN ON ON HEALTH NOW IN IN
ADULTHOOD ON THEIR ABILITY TO.
BE APPLIED LATER AND ON.
THE GENERATION NOT CYCLE OF
POVERTY I'M ALSO IN SUPPORT OF
THE SIXTEEN MONTH.
CLOCK THANK YOU.

IMPACT ON THAT THE RESOURCES

RESOURCE FROM IS FARMS ARE
ALREADY STRETCHED PRETTY THIN.
THE NECESSARY AREN'T ALWAYS
EFFICIENT FOR THEM MARKET BASED
DRIVEN ECONOMY THAN RENTS ARE
REALLY HIGH. SOME THESE PROGRAMS

I'M HERE TO ASK DO YOU NOT
SUPPORT THE FIFTY FOUR POINT
FIVE MILLION.
CUT IN PROPOSED.
I'M HERE TO SAY THAT.
THE FAMILIES MEAN SERVED ARE
DROPPING.
BUT SERVICES THAT WE ARE DOING
AS OLD WE WORKERS ARE INCREASING
BY THREE FOLD.
SO BY CUTTING THE BUDGET BECAUSE
SERVICES THAT WE EMPLOYMENT AND
THE BENEFITS SO WE SHOULD HAVE
CLIENTS WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED
TIMELY.
SO THIS IN THAT WOULD IMPACT THE
CLIENTS AND THEIR NEEDS.
AND OF COURSE BY HYSTERIA THE
HOMELESS PROGRAM IN ALL THE
OTHER SERVICES THAT WE NAY SHE
TO THE COUNTY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
MEMBERS ALRIGHT.

COUPLE'S HOME POSITION THAT THEY
WILL TAKE PUBLIC
AND AFTER THOSE TWO.
PROPOSALS
AS WELL SO WELL WE GO AHEAD
BEGIN WITH TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE.
THANK YOU AND SEE I GUESS. NOT
WE'LL JUST GO AROUND FOR THE
RECORD BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AWHILE
LA COSA.
BUT LIKE ORINDA PART.
WELL LIKE PORN CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES.
JOHNSON CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
SOCIAL SERVICES ELLIOT. HAS
ALMOST THE LA NOW JENNY BALLOT
ELLIOTT BANG HER WORDS FINANCE I
THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
IT WOULD.
SO THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
PROPOSES A TWENTY SIX POINT
SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR AND FEDERAL
INFECTIOUS WHOSE MUSIC FOR
SCHOOL YOU'RE EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
TO ESTABLISH A THREE YEAR
VOLUNTARY HOME VISITING
INITIATIVE IN THE CALYX PROGRAM.
THE TOTAL BUDGET IS A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY EIGHT POINT FIVE
MILLION OVER THREE YEARS WITH
EMPLOYMENT.
START JANUARY ONE OF TEETH.
AT THAT THE INITIATIVE THAT WE
ARE PROPOSING IS
EXPANSION AND IN BUILDING ON THE
EXISTING EVIDENCE BASED HOME
VISITING MODELS THAT.
STING THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THAT HAVE COME VISITING IS A
EVIDENCE BASED VOLUNTARY PROGRAM
MODEL THAT PARRIS NEW PARENTS
WITH A NURSE OR TRAINED
PROFESSIONAL WHO MAKES REGULAR
VISITS TO THE PARTICIPANTS HOME
TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE COACHING.
AND ACCESS TO PRENATAL AND
POSTNATAL CARE AND OTHER HEALTH
AND SOCIAL SERVICES.
FOR US THE INCLUSION OF HOME
VISITING CAO WORKS PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A YOUNG
THE FIRST TIME PARENTS WITH
NECESSARY RESOURCES TO IMPROVE
THEIR PARENTING SKILLS. AND
HOUSEHOLD ORDERED IN SURE THAT
THEIR CHILDREN HAVE A SAFE
NURTURING ENVIRONMENT SO WE ARE
AYE IN OUR IN OUR PROPOSAL
FOCUSED REALLY ON A VARIETY OF
GOALS AROUND HELPING FAMILIES
HELPING AND FAMILIES REACH SELF
SUFFICIENCY. AND SUPPORTING
FAMILY GIVES HER PRACTICES
SUPPORTING HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT
OF YOUNG CHILDREN AND PREPARE
PREPARING PARENTS EMPLOYMENT.
WE.
ARE NOT IN EVALUATION EFFORTS
WE ARE PROPOSING TO UTILIZE AND.
AT A.
INSTITUTION.
HARRY AT INSTITUTIONAL ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS SUPPORTING
EVALUATION BUT WE KNOW THEY'RE
STILL STRONG BODY OF EVIDENCE
THAT
REPORTS THAT. I HAVE BEEN SPACE
SOME VISITING AS AN APPROACH WE
REALLY WANT TO LOOK AT HEARING
THAT EVIDENCE BASED MODEL WITH
ARE CATHOLICS SERVICE TO RAY AND
THEIR SERVICES WITH AND IT. HOW
THAT IMPROVES THE OUTCOMES FOR
THE FAMILIES AND THAT'S WHAT OUR
EVALUATION WOULD FOCUSING ON?
AND IT THIS BAD PROPOSAL IS NOT
ONLY VOLUNTARY FOR THE FAMILIES
BUT ALSO FOR A COUNTIES TO THE
COUNTIES WOULD HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO OPT INTO THE AT
PROPOSAL.
WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE.
FIRST TIME PARENT UNDER THE AGE
OF TWENTY FIVE IN OUR CAO WORKS
CASELOAD WITH THE CHILD TWO
YEARS OR YOUNGER OF COURSE AGAIN
IF THE. INDIVIDUALS PREGNANT
THEY CAN ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE
INITIATIVE.
SO WE.
ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER GO TO COVER
THE QUESTIONS HERE YOU HAVE
OKAY.
SOMEONE FIRST TIME PARENTS
AGAIN WE.
IN IN MACAU WORKS.
PROGRAM DESIGN FIRST TIME
PARENTS I MEAN OUR PARENTS WITH
CHILDREN UNDER TWO ARE ALLOWED
FOR AN EXEMPTION TO PARTICIPATE
SO THESE ARE NOT OTHERWISE
FAMILIES THAT WOULD BE. ENGAGED
IN OUR WELFARE TO WORK SERVICE
TO RARE OTHERWISE WE'RE WANTING
TO ENSURE THAT. AT THIS
POPULATION OF OUR CASELOAD HAS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN GET
ESSENTIALLY A HEAD START ON.
WHAT WILL BECOME WELFARE TO
WORK REQUIREMENTS AND OTHERWISE
IN THE PROGRAM WERE ALSO REALLY
WANTING TO SUPPORT THE EARLY
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CHILDREN IN THESE HOUSEHOLDS SO
WANTING TO CONNECT THAT THE HOME
ENVIRONMENT TO ANY QUALITY EARLY
LEARNING SETTING? IN THE HOME
VISITING KIND PORTION.
OF THE PROGRAM DESIGNED SO THAT
BY THE TIME THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL
BE SUBJECT TO WHAT THE DIRECT
WORK REQUIREMENTS THAT NOT ONLY.
PREPARED IN GETTING ENGAGED AND
I'M A VARIETY OF SKILL
DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO THAT THEIR
CHILDREN ARE ENGAGED IN HIGH
QUALITY EARLY LEARNING
OPPORTUNITY.
I AM IN TERMS OF ACTUAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INITIATIVE
BEGIN WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS IS
A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE
COUNTIES AND AT HOME VISITING
ORGANIZATIONS AND SO. OBVIOUSLY
SUBCONTRACTING WOULD BE ALLOWED
OUT WITH THE COUNTY SO NOT THIS
INSTANCE THE QUESTION THREE YOU
IT ASK THEIR INCOMES COUNTY
WORKERS TRAINING THERE IS A. OUT
PARTNERSHIP OR EXPECTING BETWEEN
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES SPECIALISTS
WHO ARE ALSO BE SUPPORTING AT
THE FAMILIES BUT ALSO. I'M WITH
THE HOME VISITORS SO THE
TRAINING COMPONENTS IN THE
MODULES DO VERY BY EVIDENCE
DESIGN I WOULD YOU TO SOME OF
THE MOST COMMON. AB MODELS IN
CALIFORNIA HEALTHY FAMILIES
AMERICA UNDERSTAND WE
PARTNERSHIP PARENTS AS TEACHERS
EARLY HEAD START THOSE ARE SOME
OF THE MODELS THAT ARE.
MOST COMMON IN CALIFORNIA AND
IN EACH OF THOSE MODELS THERE IS
A TRAINING COMPONENT THAT HOME
VISITORS.
I MUST.
GO THROUGH TO IRAN CULTURAL
COMPETENCY IN AROUND A VARIETY
OF OTHER. AND SKILL BUILDING IN
TRAINING THAT TO SUPPORT THE
HOME VISITOR ADAM IN IN
COMMUNICATING IN LINKING WITH
AND THOSE THAT THEY'RE SERVING
SO.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT WOULD WANT
TO SUPPORT AND ENHANCE AYE THOSE
ADDED TRADE GOES BAD. OUTREACH
AND HOME VISITORS THEMSELVES
WITH CONNECTION TO CAO WORKS OF
THAT THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
FULL ARRAY OF SERVICES THAT
INDIVIDUALS MIGHT BE. I'M
ELIGIBLE FOR BUT ALSO BEGIN ITS
THAT PARTNERSHIP BACK WITH THE
COUNTY IN TERMS OF.
I AND CASE MANAGEMENT FOR THE
FAMILY.
I'M WE I'M IN OUR STATED
OUTCOMES FOR HOME VISITING DON'T
INCLUDE.
CHILD MALTREATMENT.
AND CHILD WELFARE TO THE EXTENT
THAT CERTAIN EVIDENCE BASED
MODELS HAVE THAT AS THE OUTCOME.
IN THEIR MODEL THAT REALLY DOES
VERY AGAIN BY MODELS WE ARE
SEEING THIS AS A PREVENTION
ORIENTED IT EARLY ENGAGEMENT AB
PROCESS THAT SUPPORTS.
I'M FAMILIES IN IN BUILDING
PROTECTIVE FACTORS THAT
EVENTUALLY THAN AVOIDS AT
CONNECTION WITH WITH CHILD
WELFARE IT'S THAT'S AGAIN THE
DESIGN IS VERY MUCH A PREVENTION
DESIGN.
I'M IN MOVING FORWARD. I
REFERRAL PROCESS AT QUESTION
FIVE THE REFERRAL PROCESS FOR
HOME VISITING. I'M THAT'S A
PIECE WE ARE.
PROPOSING THAT.
SHOULD THE AYE PROPOSAL THAT
HAD OCCURRED. UP THAT IN THE
SUMMER VERY EARLY SUMMER WE
WOULD BE AS SUBMITTING A REQUEST
FOR COUNTY PLANS OUT TO COUNTY
STOPPED INTO THE PROGRAM AND
WITHIN THAT COUNTY PLAN THEY
WILL. AT ESSENTIALLY BE
DESCRIBING HOW THE REFERRAL
PROCESS WILL WORK IN THEIR
COMMUNITY OUT FOR THE COUNTIES
THAT WE SPOKE INTO A BETTER AT
ANY PARTNERSHIP TODAY.
IT REALLY WE WANT TO LOOK AT
THINGS LIKE CONSENT FORMS AND AT
HER AVERAGE MATERIALS OBVIOUSLY
AT PHONE CALLS BUT WE KNOW THAT
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE
FAMILY IN THE HOME VISIT ARE
ESTABLISHING THAT RELATIONSHIP
AND BUILDING THAT TRUST.
I'M FROM THE BEGINNING SO WORK
WHERE AT WILL BE ASKING COUNTY
SINCE SENSUALLY OUTLINED WHO
THEIR PARTNERS WILL BE IN THE
EFFORT AND HOW THEY'LL MAKE THE
OUTREACH AND THE EFFORTS IN THE
ASK.
IN ADDITION TO THAT PER NEW THAT
FAMILIES THAT WOULD BE ENTERING
IN ON CAL WORKS THE AS THEIR
ENTERING THEY WILL BE. A SHARED
THE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO OPT
INTO THE HOME VISITING AS AS A
CHOICE FOR THEMSELVES. HAPPY TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS OR OR.
BUT.
CUT COMES MILLION.
OUR OFFICES REVIEW THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S INITIATIVE AND AND IN
GENERAL BROADER HOME VISITING
PROGRAMS HISTORICALLY AND
THERE'S THERE'S.
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OR A
MANY STUDIES ABOUT THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE PROGRAMS
IN OUR HOUSES WE FOUND.
CONSISTENTLY STRONG EMPIRICAL
EVIDENCE THAT HOME VISITING
PROGRAMS SUPPORT CHILD
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT SCHOOL
PREPARATION ON THE CONTENT
DECREASE THAT THE. THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SUBSTANTIATED
CHILD MALTREATMENT ON SPEECH ARE
EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS
I'M.
RESEARCHERS IN ADDITION TO JUST
LOOKING AT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
WHAT THEIR OWN VERSION PROGRAM
WORKS OUT ON.
ALONG ITS
TARGETED OUTCOMES RESEARCHERS
HAVE ALSO INVESTIGATED THAT THE
COST OF THE PROGRAM UP FUN
RELATIVE TO THEIR BENEFITS OVER
THE LONG TERM TOWN AND THEN IN
OUR ANALYSIS THAT THAT WE
RELEASE IN JANUARY WE LOOKED AT
SOME OF THE STUDIES AND. AND
GENERALLY OVER THE LONG TERM.
HOME VISITING PROGRAMS HAVE
BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE GREATER
BENEFITS TO SOCIETY TO
GOVERNMENTS TO THE PARTICIPANTS
THAN THEIR UP FRONT COSTS
WORKING ON AND THAT WAS
ESPECIALLY TRUE. WHEN HOME
VISITING PROGRAMS WERE TARGETED
AT THE MOST AT RISK FAMILIES I'M
SO THERE IS A AN EMPHASIS ON ON
TARGETING THE PROGRAM WELL THAT
WILL MATTER FOR HOW THE PROGRAM
WORKS OVER THE LONG TERM.
BUT FOR ALL THESE REASONS ARE
OFFICE VIEWS HOME VISITING
GENERALLY AS AS A PROPOSAL THAT
THE MERITS LEGISLATORS
CONSIDERATION.
SO WHAT I HEAR IS THAT THE ITS
INVESTMENT THE POSITIVE RATE OF
RETURNING ECONOMICALLY.
THE STUDIES THAT WE REVIEWED
SUGGESTED GENERALLY THAT YES
OVER THE VERY LONG TERM IN THE
FIRST SEVERAL YEARS AND
SOMETIMES UP TO THE FIRST TEN
YEARS.
THOSE STUDIES ARE ARE LASTS.
CONSISTENT
THEN THEY ARE BOTH THE
ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST
HOMEBUILDING MODELS THAT THAT
WERE REVIEWED IN THE IN THE
EIGHTIES AND EARLY NINETIES FOR
WHICH WE NOW HAVE MANY YEARS OF
DATA. SHOWS A STRONGER POSITIVE
CORRELATION OF IT.
NO EXCITEMENT ABOUT THAT.
WE CERTAINLY SUPPORT THIS
PROPOSAL.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
I APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR
PUTTING AFFORD TO ALRIGHT A
CAUTIOUS COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
THANK YOU MISTER MONITOR.
SOME.
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S GOOD DATA
SHOWING.
NOT ONLY AN ECONOMIC RETURN ON
THIS INVESTMENT AND PERHAPS MORE
IMPORTANTLY AND SOCIAL.
RETURN ANNA HEALTH RETURN. HOW
DO YOU DETERMINE?
WHEN YOU'RE ALLOCATING THESE
FUNDS.
THE SPECTRUM OF IN. HOME SUPPORT
FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
HELPING WITH.
A NEW MOM OF THE NEW BABY.
TWO MORE SOCIAL ISSUES OF
ACCESSING APPROPRIATE BENEFITS
NAM.
EVEN ACCESSING APPROPRIATE
MEDICAL SUPPORT BUT.
DO THE IN HOME SERVICES
CONTEMPLATE.
BOTH MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND
NON MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.
SO THE MODELS EACH HAVE A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN AND
SEW NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP RIG
FOR EXAMPLE I IT'S A IT IS A
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE THAT
ACTUALLY CONDUCTS THE VISITS NOT
MOM.
SO THAT IT'S A GREATER FOCUS ON
OFTEN THAT MOM.
FORWARD
I HEALTHY FAMILIES AMERICA AS
EXAMPLE HAS AT THEIR TRAINS I'M
HOME VISITING STAFF AT THE ALSO
VERY QUALIFIED I MEAN THESE ARE.
THE TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR MOST
OF THESE MODELS IS A MINIMUM OF
SIX MY.
IN TERMS OF REALLY GIVING
SOMEONE TRAINED AND SUPPORTED IN
IN ALL THE AREAS TO BE PREPARED
TO DO THE VISITS BUT THE BUT THE
EACH MODEL BUT WITH BRICKS AND
PRETTY CONSISTENT OUTCOMES
ACROSS ALL OF THEM. AND THE ACT
IMMEDIATE NEEDS THAT ARE
PRESENTING THEMSELVES ARE ARE
DRESSED INTO THE HOME VISITORS
ARE REALLY TRAINED TO BE ABLE TO
CONNECT WITH THE APPROPRIATE
RESEARCH IS WHETHER WHETHER THEY
BE RELATED TO HEALTH OR
OTHERWISE. I'M IN REALLY IN
REALLY WORKING WITH THE FAMILY
AS THERE VISITING AND AND THIS
IS YOU KNOW WEEKLY IT AND EVEN
MORE FREQUENTLY IN SOME CASES
DEPENDING ON THOSE IMMEDIATE
NEEDS OF THE FAMILY.
THANK YOU AND AND QUITE IS THE.
CONNECTION BETWEEN CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND OR
THESE.
IN HOME SUPPORT FOLKS AUTHORIZED
TO REPORT CONCERNS THAT COULD
INVOLVE CHILD PROTECTIVE
SERVICES
IS THAT CREATE. A FEAR OF
FAMILIES
LETTING PEOPLE INTO THEIR HOME
FOR FEAR OF.
IT BEING ANNA.
A A POSSIBLE REFERRAL TO CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES WHAT'S
WHAT'S THE INTERACTION.
SO THAT AGAIN I THINK THAT
SPEAKS AGAIN TO THE TRAINING
COMPONENT THAT HOME VISITORS.
IN THEIR TRAINING AND SUPPORT
THEY ARE MANDATED TO.
I MEAN THAT'S PART OF THE
TRAINING THAT'S REQUIRED BUT
ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE HELPING THE
FAMILY AND OBTAINED AND CONNECT
TO RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT THEM
AND SO. ON IN TARGETING AND MORE
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN THESE
MODELS AS EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS
IS ARE TRAINED IN IF THERE'S
ABSENCE OF. FOOD SUPPORT IT'S
ABOUT HOW TO GET CONNECTED TO
CAL FRESH ASSISTANCE AND FOOD
BANKS AND OTHERWISE RIGHT SO.
THAT THAT BY DESIGN HOME
VISITORS ARE TRAINED TO SUPPORT
THE FAMILY OBTAINING THIS
RESEARCH IS THAT THAT THERE
NEEDED AND THEY ARE AMENDED
REPORT REPORTERS BUT ESSENTIALLY
ADAM.
BY DESIGN IT'S IT'S IT'S A TO A
SUPPORT AND CONNECT FAMILIES TO
RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED.
THANK YOU AND MY FINAL QUESTION.
I TOO AM GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS
IS INCLUDED IN THE.
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL.
IS THE AMOUNT PROPOSED.
FISSION TO REACH THE.
THE SCALE OF OF ELIGIBLE
FAMILIES WHO WOULD BENEFIT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE SENATOR DID THE
THE BUCK BUDGETING METHODOLOGY
WAS SORT OF GROUP BASED UPON.
ASSUMING A SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT
TAKE OPERATE FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE
OFFERED CALM ACCESS TO THE
SERVICE AND ASSUMING THE WHOLE
POPULATION THAT.
BUT SWEEPING IN THE A AND FIRST
TRIAL PARAMETERS
HARM.
THE EXPECTATION IS THAT SEVENTY
FIVE PERCENT TAKE A BREAK ME BE
A LITTLE ON THE HIGH SIDE. AT
THE BEGINNING OF. THE. OTHER
THING WHICH I I THINK WENT INTO
THE A LOT OF THE PROGRAM DESIGN
WHOSE TO TRY TO BE SURE THAT IT
WAS. ON AT A SCALE THAT IT COULD
BE.
BROUGHT UP WITH PRACTICE
FIDELITY.
ARM THE ONE THING WITH THAT WE
WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN A
POSITION OF HIS SORT OF JUST
HAVING. ALL. RANDOM ACTS UPON
VISITING IT DIFFICULT FOR GIVEN
THE TERM THAT THERE ARE.
MODELS. BICU THE PROPOSAL
ALLOWS PEOPLE TO STEP OUTSIDE
THE STE.
BRANDED MODELS BUT REQUIRES THAT
THE HAVE CONTAIN ALL OF THE
ELEMENTS
ALL OF THE EVIDENCE BASED.
HARM.
BOTTLES RATING THANK YOU THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT IS
GOING TO ASK ABOUT BECAUSE OUR
EXISTING MILES TO PEOPLE HAVE TO
FOLLOW THE EXISTING MODELS TO BE
SURE WE GET THE KIND OF OUTCOMES
HE WON SO. I APPRECIATE YOUR
ANSWER ABOUT THE NEED TO SHOW
THEY HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS.
BECAUSE AGAIN WE WANTED IT'S I
IT'S THE RESULTS COME FROM HIGH
QUALITY HOME VISITATION.
I DID ONE JUST TOUCH OF FOLLOW
UP A LITTLE BIT ON.
SURMISE QUESTION ABOUT DON'T
CONCERN ABOUT CPS AND SO FORTH
AND.
AND I APPRECIATE THAT FIRST OF
ALL WE NEED TO EMPHASIZE.
THESE* S. SERVICES TO
SUPPORT FAMILIES RIGHT MANAT
PEOPLE GOING IN THAT CHECK THEM
DO NOT GOING INTO INSPECT THE
HOME THEY'RE GOING TO HELP
PROVIDE SPORTS AND I'M SUPPORT
AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
I DID MY CLARIFY SOMETHING HE
SAID BECAUSE I THERE'S CERTAINLY
SET CERTAIN PROFESSIONALS NAM
AMANDA REPORTERS THAT THE
PHYSICIAN.
NURSES WOULD BE MANDATE
REPORTERS IS BY DEFINITION JUST
BEING A HOME VISITOR MAKES YOU A
MANDATED REPORTER.
BUT THEN MET MOST OF THEM
EVIDENCE BASED MODELS.
THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF AB
TRAINING WITHIN THEM OKAY
ALRIGHT SO THE BUT I CLARIFY SO
WHAT HAPPENS IS I AGREE AND I
BELIEVE THAT.
THE HOME VISITOR WHOEVER THEY
ARE.
SHOULD BE TRAINED AND
IDENTIFICATION OF OF CHILD ABUSE
AND OUR TALK ABOUT TREATMENT.
.
BUT I WOULD ACTUALLY IN SOME
PEOPLE MAY DISAGREE I'M NOT SURE
IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY A MANDATED
REPORTER BECAUSE MANY REPORTERS
A LEGAL THING SO BY WILL BE IT
BY LAW SO. SO AND BY THE WAY
I'VE ONE REMIND PEOPLE THAT.
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A MAN A
REPORTER DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T
REPORT OKAY MANNER PORTER
ACTUALLY MEANS THAT YOU HAVE A
PENALTY FOR NOT REPORTING WHICH.
SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY TENDS TO
PUSH OVER REPORTING.
NOW THAT'S PART TO TRY TO BE
SURE WE DON'T MISS SOMETHING.
BUT I A SPY JUST DUBBED BOBBIE
LOW CAUTIOUS ABOUT. SAYING THAT.
ALL THE HOME VISITORS WILL BE
MANDATED REPORTERS AYE IF
THEY'RE NOT LEGALLY A READIES SO
AND AFFECTS I'M NOT SURE THAT'S
AND THAT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
CERTAINLY MAKE THEM LEGALLY ALL
MANY REPORTERS BUT I'VE
CERTAINLY AGREED THAT ALL OF THE
SHOULD BE TRAINED.
TO IDENTIFY BUT THEN OF COURSE
THERE FIRST ROLE SHOULD ALWAYS
BE A SUPPORT ROLE NOT A YOU KNOW
IT SO WE. IDEA IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT MESSAGING OUT TO THE.
THAT THE HOW VISITATION WHICH WE
VOLUNTARY
PEOPLE CHOOSE TO DO SO AND I
KNOW A LOT OF OUR FIRST FIVE
COMMISSIONS OUT ON THE SECOND
EFFORT WE. HAVE VISITATION THAT.
THEIR JOB IF THEY ARE THERE TO
HELP AND SUPPORT.
AND.
AND AFFECT EXCEEDS TO CERTAIN
DEGREE.
I AT IT DIDN'T GET SOMETHING WE
DISAGREE I SAID I WASN'T ONE TO
MAKE THE MANDATE REPORTERS IS
NOT RATE MANDATE REPORTERS
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO
FEEL LIKE THEY'RE IN A SITUATION
WHERE WELL. YOU KNOW I MET LEGAL
JEOPARDY IF I HAVE A CSUS YELLED
JUST EVEN ANY SUSPICION BUT THEY
SHOULD CERTAINLY BE TRAINED AND
IF THEY HAVE SUBSTANTIAL
SUSPICION THAT THEY KNOW THEY
SHOULD LIKE ANYBODY ELSE WHO HAS
A.
SUSPICION EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT ME
AND A REPORTER PLEASE
BE SURE THE CHILD'S PROTECTED.
BUT THE BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THE
FIRST CHARACTER FIRST AND
PRIMARY ROLE SUPPORT. I THINK
ISN'T IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
AND NOT.
.
AND AND AND SO.
A PERHAPS TO MAKE COMMENT ON
THAT.
I THINK THAT'S RIGHT NAY
APOLOGIZE IF I MISSPOKE THAT'S
RIGHT.
AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSE ADAM THE MODELS
THEMSELVES PROVIDE THE TRAINING
SO THAT THE HOME VISITORS ARE
RECEIVING TRAINING RELATED TO ME
AND.
SO I JUST WANT IT BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT.
THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE
NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE MANDATED
REPORTERS AND THEREFORE WHEN
THEY GO AND THEY AGAIN ARE IN A
SUPPORT ROLE AND UP BUT WE ALSO
YOU KNOW THAT SO. AND THAT THEIR
JOB IS TO ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT
HOW TO HELP THE FAMILY IN FACT
AND I JOIN THE SIZE THE RESULTS
OF HAVING DONE SOME OF THIS AND
APPRECIATE LA DOING.
PRODUCTION WE SEE AND SHALL NOT
TREATMENT IS NOT BECAUSE OF IN.
REPORTING
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORTS
RIGHT THE REASON.
IT WE DON'T WANT THEM PARTIES WE
WANT DO THIS IS THAT PARENTS YOU
KNOW THEY WANT TO TAKE CARE OF
THE KIDS AND THEY GET SOMETHING
WE GET TRAPPED AND THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THEN THAT'S
WHEN SOMETIMES.
UNFORTUNATE THINGS HAPPEN SO
WE'RE GIVING THEM THE TOOLS SO
THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO HANDLE. A
MUCH BROADER VARIETY SITUATION
AND GET THE HELP THEY NEEDS
OFTEN THEY'RE ISOLATED PARENTS
AS WELL.
THANK YOU SENATOR AND AND I I
THINK WE ABSOLUTELY FIRM THAT IN
MY EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS ON
THE TENDENCY TO AGGRESSIVE
REPORTING ARE OVER REPORTING
TYPICALLY COMES FROM PEOPLE WHO
HAVE NO. RESOURCES WITH WHICH.
TO HELP THE SITUATION AND OUR
GOAL WITH THIS GROUP WITH THIS
PROGRAM IS TO MAKE SURE THE
PEOPLE. THAT THEY HOME VISITORS
GOING IN WITH THE TOOLS AND THE
RESOURCES TO HELP PARENTS WHO
DESPERATELY WANT. TO DO A GOOD
JOB.
AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE AND
ABLE TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE.
NO THE QUESTION SO WHAT WE'LL DO
NOW IS.
WE'RE GONNA. WILL HEAR THAT TO
PROPOSAL INVESTMENTS RELATED TO.
THE HOME VISITATION PROPOSAL
THEN WILL TAKE PUBLIC
ANTON ALL THOSE ITEMS TOGETHER
SO. ALEX FIRST OF BRINGING UP.
WE HAVE THE.
.
AND THE INVEST ADDITIONAL FUNDS
EXPAND THE SERVICE TO ADDITIONAL
FAMILIES WE HAVE MICHELLE STILL
WILL PERMIT SKI TROLL DEFENSE
FUND SELF INTEREST FAMILY
PARTNERSHIP OUR.
SACRAMENTO.
AND AND.
HIS FATE IS FROM.
HEALTH HOME VISITING RECIPIENT
HEALTH FAMILIES.
YOU CAN TRY TO KEEP SO JUST KEEP
IN MIND WHAT
YOU'RE GOING FIRST YOU HAVE
OTHER PEOPLE FOLLOWING YOU TIME
WISE AND YOU KNOW OP AND WE HAVE
QUESTIONS AND YOU HAVE MORE TIME
TO ELABORATE WHEN WE DO THAT YOU
AN EIGHT. PART
SO WHO'S LEADING AUTHOR ALL
START.
MICHELLE SUBURBANS HE
CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND A
CALIFORNIA AND I WILL BE BRIEF
BECAUSE WE HAVE I'M SOME AMAZING
PARENTS HERE TO. SHARE A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THE POSITIVE
IMPACT THAT HOME VISITING HAS.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING A
COALITION OF ANTI POVERTY
ADVOCATES IN HOME VISITING
PROVIDERS TO URGE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE TO ADOPT TO THE
GOVERNOR'S. PROPOSED HOME
VISITING INITIATIVE AND URGED AN
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT OF FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN VOLUNTARY
EVIDENCE BASED HOME VISITING
PROGRAMS FOR HOW WORKS FAMILIES.
WE'D REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR BRINGING THIS
PROPOSAL IN THE DEPARTMENT FOR
THEIR HARD WORK IN DEVELOPING
THE PROPOSAL.
AND THE RECOGNITION REALLY THAT
VOLUNTARY HOME VISITING.
IS A WAY TO BETTER ENGAGE AND
SUPPORT FAMILIES IN THE CAL
WORKS PROGRAM.
WE SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT THE
IMPACTS OF DEEP POVERTY ON
CHILDREN ESPECIALLY YOUNG
CHILDREN AND WE KNOW THAT THE
UNIVERSAL CHALLENGES OF NEW
PARENTHOD.
ARE COMPOUNDED BY DEEP POVERTY
AND HOME VISITING REALLY OFFERS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS.
IT WE WE'VE ARE ALRIGHT I WON'T.
BELIEVER THE POINT ON THE LONG
TERM IMPACTS POSITIVE IMPACTS OF
HOME BEEN.
RELIEVING THE DESERVE VERY
STRONG A PROPOSAL AND SOMETHING
THAT WE WOULD URGE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE.
TO AUGMENT.
IN PARTICULAR I'M ALEC
ALLOCATING AN ADDITIONAL FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS TO REACH CAL
WORKS FAMILIES BEYOND THAT
POPULATION OF FIRST TIME PARENTS
UNDER THE AGE OF TWENTY FIVE.
FUNDS WE THINK WE SHOULD BE.
ALSO OFFERING THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO PARENTS WHO MAY BE OVER THE
AGE OF TWENTY FIVE WHILE THEY'RE
PREGNANT OR PARENTING A CHILD.
UNDER THE AGE OF TWO ON OR WHO
HAVE.
OLDER CHILDREN AT THAT TIME AND
YOU'LL HEAR A LITTLE BIT FROM ON
PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THAT
PLACE AND BENEFITTED FROM IT
TIME WE ALSO THINK THAT THERE.
IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN A
NEW PARENT SUPPORT ALLOWANCES
FOR.
FOR PARENTS FIRM ONE TIME NEED
SUCH DESCRIBES IN CAR SEATS.
AND THEN.
TO FOLLOW UP ON THE. LINE OF
QUESTIONING HERE I THINK THERE'S
A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO.
HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAINING IN
STRENGTH BANKS.
AND.
BUT PRACTICES AND CULTURAL
COMPETENCE.
AND HOW TO NAVIGATE THE CAL
WORKS PROGRAM I'M AND THEN WE
ULTIMATELY HOPE THAT THIS BE A
PERMANENT PART OF THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM.
EIGHT THANK YOU I AND THAT WILL
TURN IT OVER TO OUR PARENTS
OKAY EASE THE TWO THIRDS OF THE
TIME BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE
MORE TIME SO HERE FOR THE
PARENTS.

I WAS FIRST CONNECTED TO HOME
VISITING DURING MY SECOND
PREGNANCY AFTER BEING PLACED ON
A FIFTY ONE FIFTY AND A
REFERRAL%
FROM THE PSYCHIATRY DEPARTMENT
AND KAISER.
DURING WHICH TIME MY FAMILY
RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM A HOME
VISITOR.
BASICALLY NEED TO MONITOR THE
BABY'S MILESTONES TO CHECK THE
SAFETY OF OUR HOME MY OWN
PERSONAL WELL BEING AND THE
OVERALL EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF OUR
ENTIRE FAMILY. INCLUDING MY
MARRIAGE.
WE TOOK A BREAK FROM HOME
VISITING WHICH ACTUALLY BECAME
THE TRUE METAL TO OUR FAMILY.
THERE WAS A REFERRAL TO CPS
BASED ON.
AND HOME VIOLENCE BETWEEN ME
AND MY HUSBAND.
AND.
UPON MY THIRD PREGNANCY WE YOU
GOT TO START WORKING WITH SHOULD
NAY HERE.
AND WE'VE BEEN A PART OF THAT
PROGRAM STILL EVER SINCE AND.
HAVE BEEN GETTING.
BETTER AND BETTER EVERY DAY
EVERY EVERY MONTH EVERY YEAR.
I'M IN MY EXPERIENCE EACH
PREGNANCY AND EACH CHILD HAS
BEEN DIFFERENT ARM YET THE
SUPPORT FROM MY HOME VISITOR.
HAS REMAINED A STRONG PILLAR FOR
FAMILY AND.
DO EVERY OF MY TRIMESTER IS
THROUGH.
EVERY ONE MONTH MY BREAKDOWN SO
SHE WAS THERE FOR ME DOWN. THAT
I CALL ON A CONTEXTUAL.
IN SHE WAS WILLING TO COME
VISIT ME IN THE HOME. IN THE
SAME WEEK AND IT WAS IT'S BEEN.
SO MUCH MORE HELPFUL TO US.
AND IN ALL HONESTY WITHOUT HOME
VISITING INTO NAY I MAY NOT EVEN
BE HERE TODAY.
THE FACT THAT SHE IS A PERSON I
CAN TURN TO FOR SUPPORT AT ANY

LIGHT TO OUR FAMILY AND WE
GREATLY APPRECIATE HER. AND I DO
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO HEAR MY STORY AND A
DEATHLY URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
PROPOSED HOME VISITING
INITIATIVE.

THANK YOU.
MY NAME'S AMBER HELL AND MY SON
AND I ARE RECENT GRADUATES OF
THE NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
THE ROLE THAT NURSE FAMILY
PARTNERSHIP HAS PLAYED IN OUR
LIVES IS IRREPLACEABLE MY
HUSBAND AND I WERE TOLD THAT I
WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME
CONCEIVING. DELIGHTS
CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAD DECIDED IT
WAS BEST TO WAIT BUT LIFE HAD
OTHER PLANS.
FEDERATING DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT
IN JUNE OF TWENTY FIFTEEN WE
WERE TOLD THAT I WAS NINE WEEKS
AND SIX THIS PREGNANT.
AND ETHICS CITING HIS LISTENERS
WAS I WAS ALSO SCARED BECAUSE
TEN DAYS LATER MY HUSBAND HOW TO

TEXAS.
DURING MY PREGNANCY I AM AWARE
THAT I WAS REFERRED TO YOUR
STOMACH PARTNERSHIP MY FIRST
PRENATAL APPOINTMENT AND ONE
WEEK LATER ANGELICA COST MY MFP
NURSE WITH AT MY DOORSTEP.
DURING MY PREGNANCY I
EXPERIENCED THREE ELEVATED BLOOD
PRESSURE READINGS WHILE AT THE
DOCTOR'S OFFICE DURING STRESSFUL
SITUATIONS.
THE DOCTOR INSISTED THAT I NEED
TO BE ON MEDICATION TO LOWER MY
BLOOD PRESSURE. BECAUSE ROUTINE
BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS WERE
PART OF MY BI WEEKLY VISITS WITH
MY ANA CLEANERS.
SHE COULD ESTABLISH MY BASELINE
AND RECOGNIZE THE NEGATIVE US
BUT THE MEDICATION WAS HAVING.
I FEAR THAT WITHOUT HER
REGULARLY CHECKING MY BLOOD
PRESSURE IN MY HOME IN A LOW
STRESS ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD HAVE
CONTINUED TO TAKE MEDICATION
THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE.
THANKFULLY I DELIVERED A VERY
HEALTHY EIGHT POUND FIVE OUNCE
BABY BOY ON JANUARY ELEVENTH
TWENTY SIXTEEN JUST ONE DAY
AFTER HIS DUE DATE.
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IMPROVE AND
MAINTAINS STRONG SUPPORTIVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH MY HUSBAND AND

STRONGER POSITIVE BOND. I KNOW
THAT MY HUSBAND WHEN HE GETS
HOME IN A LITTLE LESS THAN A
YEAR.
THAT WE HAVE A STRONG FOUNDATION
FOR POSITIVE EFFECTIVE PARENTING
AND BUILDING A STRONG FAMILY

HAVE TO DEFINE HIS STORY.

IS ONE OF SUCCESS HERE SUCH A
SMART HAPPY RESILIENT LITTLE
GOING IN AS A GREAT WAY IN THIS
WORLD.
AS FOR ME I HAVE SUCH A POSITIVE
OUTLOOK IN MY LIFE.
MY NURSES WALKED WITH ME

SO THE INDIAN HEALTH CLINIC
PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES.
WITH CAL WORKSFUNDS PARTIALLY
REIMBURSES FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE
PROGRAMS IN THIRTY FIVE MILLION
HEALTH CLINICS INTO IN THE
STATE.

MOST TIP OF THE IMPERIAL VALLEY.
BORDERING ARIZONA AND MEXICO IT
UP PROGRAM ASSISTS WITH
MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT OF
AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE
INDIVIDUALS IN THE CAL WORKS AND
TRIBAL TINY PROGRAMS. TO DEVELOP
THESE PERSONAL PLANTS THAT WE'VE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT LOVE
AFTERNOON TO COMPLY WITH WELFARE
TO WORK.
AT A MAXIMUM GRANT AWARD OF
JUST OVER FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND A
YEAR PER CLINIC.
IT REQUIRES A FIVE YEAR MO YOU
AN EASY SIGN TO OFFSET THE COSTS
OF PERSONALITY SUBSTANCE ABUSE
SERVICES TRANSPORTATION COSTS.
TO DRIVE PATIENTS TO
APPOINTMENTS FOR TREATMENT. AND
ALSO TO COUNTY WELFARE
DEPARTMENTS OVER GREAT RURAL
DISTANCES AND ALSO ALL THE
REFERRAL APPOINTMENTS FOR MORE
INTENSIFIED TREATMENT OR
RESIDENTIAL.
A GROUPS.
AFTER THE RECESSION OF TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT.
THEY HIGHLY VALUE THE SIX AND A
HALF MILLION IN THAT HEALTH
PROGRAM.
UNDER THE BERMAN OF HEALTH CARE
SERVICES WAS OF STREET DOWN BY
THE LEGISLATURE AND REDUCE.
TO ONLY MINIMAL CONSULTATION
FUNCTIONS SO AS A RESULT THIS
CAL WORKS ON THE PROGRAM IS THE
ONLY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROGRAM
THAT REMAINS IN THE STATE.
THAT IS SPECIFICALLY TAILORED
FOR CULTURALLY YOU KNOW REALLY
ONE SERVICES AND HEALING
PRACTICES.
AND MAKE IT SHORT.
BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC AND
NATIONAL HEALTH EMERGENCY AND
THE OPIATE EPIDEMIC WE'VE SEEN A
BIG INCREASE WHAT I HAD THAT OUT
TO YOU UP IN THE PANEL IS. AT A
SHEET IN THE SECOND PAGE WITH
ALL THE COST ASSUMPTIONS AND

THIS PROGRAM.
WE WANT TO TAKE IT BACK TO A
MORE.
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT IF YOU

HONOR THE ALCOHOL AND DRUG

WEST.
AND WE HAVE AN OFFICE IN

HOURS TO GET THERE FROM OUR

COUPLE YEARS AGO IN LOS ANGELES.
YOU HEARD A LOT OF TESTIMONY
TODAY ALREADY ABOUT IMMIGRATION
INTERRACIAL POVERTY.
AND THAT WAS REALLY THE GENESIS
FOR US TAKING THIS APPROACH.
WE LOOKED AT AM I HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE OF ALSO ADMINISTER CAL
LEARN SO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
RESOURCES WITH THE CALORIE
POPULATION.
BUT WHAT IS NOT OFTEN NOT REALLY
RECOGNIZES THAT.
BUT NON CAL LEARN TEAMS ACCOUNT
WORKS ARE JUST AS MARBLE THERE
JUST AS AT RISK.
THERE'S THE SAME FAMILIES WHO
ARE IN CHILD WELFARE AND
PROBATION.
SO WOULD WANT TO KEEP THOSE KIDS
ON THE RIGHT PATH MOVE TOWARDS
SELF SUFFICIENCY AND TRY TO
BREAK THAT CYCLE OF POVERTY.

WE ARE RESOURCE FOR THEM. AND.
WHAT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE FOR
US WAS OUT OF THE KIDS THAT WE
ISSUE PAVEMENTS?
FIFTY ONE PERCENT HAD ALREADY
RULED A COLLEGE.

INCENTIVE AND THE POT FEEDBACK
WE GOT IN SURVEYING THEM AND
THEIR PARENTS. REALLY TESTED

DISTANT ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT
AGAINST BECAUSE A RESTARTING THE
STUDENTS ARE USING IT AT.
WELL LIKE PORN CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
HELLO AS ALFA ROMEO IF YOU ARE
WOODS FINANCE OKAY THANK YOU
ALRIGHT BIT BEGIN. SO A BRIEF
OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAMMING
CURRENT TRENDS
I'M PLEASED TO REPORT.
SURE WE REPEAT
I DID A DROP
I SLOWED IN SIXTEEN YEARS IN
THAT DROP HAS SLOWED
CONSIDERABLY WERE HOLDING
ROUGHLY FLAT AROUND FOUR MILLION
CALIFORNIANS EACH MONTH ON
AVERAGE RECEIVING A CAL FRESH
BENEFIT.
A.
IT IT'S.
LOT SUB THINGS ARE HAPPENING
WEARING SIGNING UP MORE AND MORE
SENIORS. WERE DOING A BETTER JOB
IT'S THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WE
RETAINING PEOPLE WHO WERE
ELIGIBLE LONGER LOS ANGELES
COUNTY IS COMING ON STRONG BUT
WE ARE SEEING A DROP IN CHILD
ONLY CASES WHICH WE DO THINK IS
ABOUT THE.
I MET.
AND ARE UNDER.
DOING WORK.
WITHOUT WE CAJUN SEE AND OTHER
PARTNERS IN THE IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITY TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE
CONTINUE TO SERVE CHILD ONLY
CASES.
SOME OF THE EFFORTS THAT ARE
HEADED TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE STATE HUB
ALREADY WE CONTINUED USE OF
DISASTER.
THE FOOD RESPONSE WORKING WITH
FOURTEEN COUNTIES LAST LAST
COUPLE YEARS TO MAKE SURE FOOD
IS THERE FOR FOLKS DOING WHAT
THE DISASTER WERE EXPANDING OUR
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
SIGNIFICANTLY YOU'LL SEE A NEW.
NUMBER
AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON
MAKING HEALTHY FOOD THE EASY
CHOICE MORE HEALTHY FOOD
INITIATIVES ROLLING OUT.
QUESTION THREE IS REALLY ABOUT
THE MID THE MOST MAJOR POLICY
CHANGE COMING DOWN THE PIKE IS
THE RETURN OF THE A. BOUGHT TIME
LIMITS ON. ABLE BODIED ADULTS
WITHOUT DEPENDENCE TO CALIFORNIA
WE HAVE HAD A STATE WIDE WAIVER
OF THAT RULE FROM MANY YEARS
BECAUSE OF OUR. UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE AS UNEMPLOYMENT HAS COME
DOWN.
PARTS OF THE STATE WILL NEED TO
IMPLEMENT THAT TIME LIMIT WE
HAVE REQUESTED A WAIVER OF FIFTY
FIVE COUNTIES. BUT THREE
COUNTIES WOULD BE IMPLEMENTING
AS OF SEPTEMBER FIRST SAN
FRANCISCO SANTA CLARA AND SAN
MATEO AND WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY
WITH THEM TO IMPLEMENT.
WE HAVE A THREE PART STRATEGY
ONE TO IT. ASSESS THOSE
INDIVIDUALS TO SEE IF THEY
ACTUALLY ARE IN A BAR OR
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT TO ENGAGE
THEM AND WORKING EMPLOYMENT AND
TRAINING TO HELP THEM MEET THAT
REQUIREMENT. AND THREE AYE IF
THEY CAN'T DO THAT STILL TRY TO
USED INDIVIDUAL EXEMPTIONS TO
KEEP THEM CONNECTED TO.
FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE
WE'RE HOPING BY THAT TO MITIGATE
THE HARM TO THE INDIVIDUAL ON
THE DROP IN THE CASELOAD.
BUT OUR STATES ARE PARTNER STATE
OREGON WE WORK VERY CLOSELY
THOUGH THOUGH YOUR THEY
IMPLEMENTED THEY SAW TWENTY
PERCENT CASELOAD DECLINES WE'LL
BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY WHAT
WE'RE KIND OF CONSIDERING OUR
FIRST WAVE OUR PILOT IF YOU WILL
IN THE THREE COUNTY AREA. TO SEE
HOW WE CAN IMPROVE EMPLOYMENT
AND MITIGATE THE HUNGER IMPACTS.
THANK YOU INCOMES FROM ALEJO.
FINANCE.
SINCE.
YES SIR MONEY.
I THINK YOU I'M. WE'VE BEEN
READING OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS THE
CURRENT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE
HOUSE HAS THREATENED TO
PENALIZE.
FAMILIES WHERE.
HELLO BUT CHAU ELIGIBLE FAMILY
MEMBERS ACCESS COUNT FRESH.
BUT IT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCE.
ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBERS
IMMIGRATION.
STATUS TERM ANY UPDATES ON THAT
HAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MOVED
ON THAT AND.
JUST WITH THE NEWS HEADLINES IS
THAT AFFECTING.
FAMILIES CONFIDENCE TO PURSUE.
CAO FRESH BENEFITS FOR WHICH
THEY ARE ELIGIBLE.
TWO THE FIRST QUESTION SENATOR
OF. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS NT
RELEASED THE PROPOSED RULE
FORMALLY. ON IT HAS BEEN LEAKED
COLUMN IN A COUPLE OF ITERATIONS
MOST RECENTLY THE WASHINGTON
POST A FEW WEEKS AGO. AND THAT
WAS WHERE THE ARM RESTRICTED
NURSE BECAME MOST APPARENT
PARTICULARLY AT AND.
THE POTENTIAL IMPACT TO.
OF.
THE PARENTS OF CITIZEN CHILDREN
POTENTIALLY. ALONE IN TERMS OF
SORT OF PEOPLE HAVE SEX IN THE
COMMUNITY. THE OPPOSITE BELIEVE
THE SPECULATION I THINK HAS HAD
SOME IMPACT I THINK.
CAN WAS ARE FOR.
ALONE REDUCTION IN THE CHILD
ONLY CASELOAD THAT IS TO SOME
EXTENT OUR METAPHOR.
FOR THE POPULATION AND THE FACT
THAT IT IS DECLINED A BIT NOT
HUGELY BUT NOTICEABLY. ALL.
IT PROBABLY HAS A RELATIONSHIP
TO THAT.
HOME.
THE EVEN MORE POTENTIAL THE PALM
SENSITIVE PROGRAMS AFTER THE
WICK PROGRAM WHICH NATIONALLY
AND STATEWIDE OF BOTH SHOWN.
BUT EXPECTED DECLINES SO WITH
THE. OF WHAT WE CONSIDER THAT
THE MOST SENSITIVE OF THEM JUST
BECAUSE THE MARGIN.
SMALLER.
SO.
IE I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A
DEGREE OF SELF.
ACTION THANK YOU LYNN I THINK
OUR CHALLENGE IS.
IN ARE COMMUNITIES WE SEEK TO
EXPAND AWARENESS OF THOSE WHO
ARE ELIGIBLE WITH REASSURANCES.
ANYA.
CAN WE MAKE THOSE ASSURANCES
WITH A HUNDRED PERCENT
CONFIDENCE THAT THERE WON'T BE
AN ADVERSE CONSEQUENCE.
WE WERE IN A TRICKY SPOT AT THIS
POINT BUT IT LOOKED AND I PUT
THAT WAY I MEAN WE WE MUST NOT
GIVE FALSE ASSURANCE.
YEAH. LEAPING TO CREATE A MORAL
HAZARD IN A SENSE. UPON THE AT
THE SAME TIME WE DON'T WANT
PEOPLE TO PANIC. THE.
TIMING OF WHEN THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT MAY RELEASE THE
PROPOSED RULE THAT ARE
DIFFERENT.
VERSIONS. IT WOULD BE IF REQUIRE
COMMENT PERIOD OF OF AT LEAST
SIXTY DAYS. UPON AND THEN EVEN
AFTER THE COMMENT PERIOD IS SIX.
THE ADMIN.
AND IGNORING THE COMMENTS JUST
ISSUED THE RULE LAST LOS.
THEN THERE IS A SIXTY DAY.
PERIOD BEFORE THE RULE TAKES
EFFECT
SO WEAK THAT THERE IS A WINDOW
THAT IS AT LEAST.
PONDERED AND TWENTY DAYS MOM
BOUGHT. EVEN WITHIN THAT WINDOW
I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS
WHAT WE MESSAGE ON.
PRESIDENT WHEN THAT RULE IS
ISSUED ARM.
EVEN IN PROPOSED FOR THAT BIG
WILL SORT OF START IN BASED ON
WHAT IN THE. FINAL PROPOSAL
START TRYING TO. DETERMINE HOW
TO ENCOURAGE GUIDANCE AS YOU
KNOW AND WILL HAVE A LATER ON
SECTION ON THIS THE IMMIGRATION
SERVICES PROGRAM THAT OF THE
DEPARTMENT OPERATES.
ARM PARTLY WHAT WE WILL OF
COURSE BE DOING IS TRYING TO
REFER PEOPLE TO THOSE PROVIDERS
SO THAT THEY'RE GETTING.
IMMIGRATION.
SKILLED ADVICE RATHER THAN THE
BEST ASSURANCES OF.
LAYPEOPLE WHO.
MAY NOT BE CONVEYING THE BEST
INFORMATION THANK YOU NAME
APPRECIATE THE SENSITIVITY OF
THE ADMINISTRATION CLEARLY HINTS
ON YOUR RADAR AND.
WE NEED TO PROCEED WITH CAUTION
WHILE WE TRY TO FULFILL.
THEN. TO TOUT THEIR THINKING.
ALRIGHT.
SO.
RIGHT SILENTLY NO OTHER QUESTION
I THINK SO MUCH FOR YOUR
PRESENTATION CURRY HAVE ITS
GREAT THAT I GUESS WHEN WE SEEK
OUT WORKS THAT CASELOAD GOES
DOWN ITS DOWD'S GOOD NEWS
BECAUSE FEWER PEOPLE NEED IT I
CAL FRESH BUT.
OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW WERE LEVY

EVERYONE WHO DOES QUALIFY TO
NEEDED AND.
APPRECIATE.
THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE
THERE.
WE DO HAVE.
.
SIX SIX.
SIX PROPOSALS FOR INVESTMENTS

AND THEN WE'LL TAKE PUBLIC
COMMENT AFTER THOSE SO ACTUALLY
MAKE MICHAEL ROOM UP.
FOR THE FOES ARE SO.

TOO WONDERFUL AND ASHAMED
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF FOOD

MISTER MONNING FOR MAKING TIME
FOR YOUR YOUR FOOD BANKS
RECENTLY PURCHASED THAT.
SO BE BRIEF.
ON INCREASING CALLED FRESH
FUNDING.
THIS IS TO RESTORE.
THE COVERAGE BENEFIT THAT HAS
GONE OVER THE HUNGER CLIFF AS WE
SAY IN OUR COMMUNITY TO TO
CONGRESSIONAL.
SO IN THE ARA.
PACKAGE FOLLOWING THE GREAT
RECESSION AND BECAUSE IT WAS
KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE BEST
PLACES TO ECONOMY AND HUNGER IS
TO ACTUALLY.
GIVE FAMILIES RESOURCES THING
TO BUY FOOD.
CATFISH BENEFITS FOR INCREASED
AND THEN THAT I RAN OUT.
PREMATURELY AND YOU TO CRUSH ON
ACTION HAS STAYED THAT WAY EVER
SINCE.
BUT SINCE WE HAVE A NATIONAL
EXPERIMENTOF WHAT THAT INCREASE
LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE BEEN PROVEN.
KEEP BOTH FIGHT HUNGER AND
IMPROVE ON NUTRITIONAL OUTCOME.
WHICH YOU ARE PARTIES.
OF THIS BODY.
AND JUST NOW BECAUSE THOSE
BENEFITS SAM HAVE GONE BACK DOWN
AND WE KNOW THAT THEIR
INADEQUATE.
FOOD BANKS ARE ACTUALLY WHERE
FOLKS CHO FLIES BENEFITS RUN OUT
AND.
AS UC'S OF RESEARCH HAS SHOWN
HOSPITALIZATIONS BACK AND FORTH
IN THE MONTHS OF THE
CONSEQUENCES THEIR REAL COST ON
IF WE DON'T HAVE THESE KINDS OF
INVESTMENTS
SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OF AND COMMENTS FROM A.
SOCIAL SERVICES OKAY LA JOH.
FINANCE.
TIGER WOODS FINDS A THING WE
JUSTNOTE THAT I BY INCREASING
THE BENEFIT LEVEL THROUGH STATE
FUNDED FOOD BENEFIT FOR EVERY
ADDITIONAL DOLLAR PER MONTH TO
PROVIDE A SINGLE HOUSEHOLD. A
RESULTANT ONGOING GENERAL FUND
COSTS TWENTY TWO MILLION. AND IF
YOU CHANGE THAT TO ONE DOLLAR
PER INDIVIDUAL BE FORTY SIX
MILLION ROUGHLY.
AND I AM GOING.
OKAY IT IS IT IS PROPOSAL BILL
FORTY SIX MILLION ON GOING. ARE.
FOR EACH ADDITIONAL DOLLAR
JUDICIARY DOLLAR HOUSEHOLD OR
INDIVIDUAL.
OKAY.
AND THERE'S ACTUALLY COULD
SCRATCH SO.
NOW RECOGNIZING THAT WE KNOW
WHAT THAT THE WAY CATFISH WORKS
THERE'S
AS WE PROVIDE MORE MONEY DOES
THAT POTENTIALLY CAUSE PROBLEM
TERMS GETTING THAT OUT OF WE
START BUMPING ACT UP AGAINST.
QUALIFICATION LIMITER INCOME
LIMITS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
SAID NO OKAY. TEMPERATURE IS IN
THE BENEFIT WITH THE FOOD
BENEFIT WOULD NOT CHANGING OKAY
SO THE STATE PUTS AND STATE
MONEY.
WITH DOESN'T. BENEFIT IS.
NO OKAY ALRIGHT WITH THAT IF I
JUST WANNA BE SURE I KNOW WE'RE
WRESTLING WITH SOME STUFF ON
ACTUALLY CAO FRICTION. THAT
SOCIETY AND DELVE STATE PUTS AND
MONEY WHAT HAPPENS BOB WHAT'S
OUR SIGHTS Y. KNOW THAT. THAT
ALL STATE MONEY OR JUST THE
MONEY GOES AND CERTAIN THINGS
WHEN.
INCOME QUALIFICATIONS THEY HOW
THEY COUNT THAT SO.
OKAY.
ALRIGHT AND THE QUESTIONS.
ALRIGHT SO WHAT WE GO AHEAD MOVE
INTOA SECOND PROPOSAL
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR CAL FOOD.
BUT YOU AND I WANT TO START BY
NOT TAKING MINISTRATION ON THINK
THE GOVERNOR FOR THE EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS ON THOSE
PRINTING OR TEN BUDGET.
AND SO THE DELTA IS REALLY
AROUND JUST LOOKING AT THE TWO
YEARS AGO WE HAD TWO MILLION
DOLLARS AND IN CAL THREE DOING
ABOUT EIGHTEEN POINT SIX IN THE
DRUG FOOD PROGRAM.
AND SO ARE MESSAGES THAT THIS
IS DEAN OF THE NEED HAS NOT GONE
DOWN YOU GUYS USE YOUR THE
CLIMATE OF FEAR.
AND CENTER MONNING TO YOUR
POINT ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT CAN WE
TELL PEOPLE IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY
FOOD BANKS ARE PEOPLE ARE COMING
OFTEN AND NOT OUR COMPANY IN AND
AN. OFFICIAL PLACES BECAUSE
ASSUME THAT FEAR SO WHERE
ACTUALLY WHERE FOLKS ARE COMING
TO COME OFF THE PROGRAM IS A
REALLY DIFFICULT PLACES
AS YOU HEARD FROM YOUR OWN. ON
FOOD BANKS TO WHETHER IT'S THAT
THAT FEAR WHETHER IT'S THE
DISASTER AND A HUGE THANKS TO
THE DEPARTMENT THE COUNTIES FOR.
DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO
ADMINISTER A DISASTER CAO
PRESSURE WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE.
OR THE HIGH HOUSING COSTS IN
THE NEED IS NOT GONE DOWN INTO
THE TWENTY FOUR SIX MILLION.
WOULD ENABLE SUPPORT ON THE
BUDGET WITH A PARTNERSHIP OF
CDSS WE ARE ABLE TO ADMINISTER
THAT AMOUNT AND THE FOOD BANKS
ARE BEING ABLE TO SHOW THAT THE
NEED IS THERE SO I I THINK YOU
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THAT
AND JUST SOME NOTES THAT.
THIS IS ONLY CALIFORNIA GROWN
FOOD YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD GREAT
SUPPORT FROM.
OUR PARTNERS AND I'M FOUND
ACROSS THE SECTORS ON THAT'S I
THINK YOU.
THANK YOU AND COMMENTS FROM OUR
SOCIAL SERVICES RIGHT BELIAU
FINANCE.
MY QUESTION. ALRIGHT AND T THE
APPRECIATE I KNOW THAT LAST YEAR
WE ALSO HEARD.
THIS ISSUE AS WELL AND JUST
RECOGNIZE THAT WILL CERTAINLY WE
WANT TRY GIVES ME PEOPLE
ENROLLED IN THE COW FRESHEN THAT
HELPS DRAW DOWN FEDERAL MONEY.
WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
AFRAID TO GET FEDERAL BENEFITS
AND YET THEY'RE SO HUNGRY AND SO
THAT AS THE US OR THE LAST
SAFETY NET.
I WAGED DATA TO BE SURE. TRY DO
WHAT WE CAN TO GET THE RESOURCES
OF PEOPLE GO HUNGRY COMMITTEE
CYPRESS SHAPE THAT.
STILL THE SITUATION
UNFORTUNATELY
WE HAVE HERE.
OKAY DOT SO YOU HAVE A THIRD
PROPOSAL WHICH IS FUNDING FOR
FOOD BANK INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEY CAN TO MAKE SURE THIS IS
THIS IS ONE TIME ON THE AND
THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME
PRECEDENTS I BELIEVE IN THE CA
NINETY NINE AND TWO THOUSAND
BUDGETS.
BUT IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN
SOMETIME SPENT TWENTY YEARS
SINCE THE STATUS CONTRIBUTED ON
TO FINISH COULD MAKE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND AND ALSO DEPARTMENT FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN PERSPECTIVE
SO WE DID A SURVEY OF OUR
MEMBERS.
AND THE TOTAL NEED IS ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
AND A LOT OF THAT IS THAT IS
ACTUALLY DUE TO THE ONGOING NEED
TO UPGRADE.
VEHICLES TO MEET OUR MISSION
SANDERS I'M TO MAKE INVESTMENTS
IN INCAPACITY TO SERVE SERVE THE
COMMUNITIES.
INTO REALLY ONLY ASKING FOR THE
STATE'S SHARE.
FOOD BANKS ARE ALWAYS DOING
CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS ARE RAISING
MONEY FROM PRIVATE PARTNERS TO
JUST JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE
IT'S IS NOT AS IF WE EXPECT THE
STATE TO BE BUILDING. DISARM
THESE INSTITUTIONS AND THESE
FEATURES ON THEIR OWN.
BUT ALSO JUST TO CLARIFY THIS
WOULD GIVE THE SIGNAL IN THE
BUSINESS OF PUTTING UP BUILDINGS
ARE OWNING PROPERTY THINGS IT
HAS TO BE LIMITED TO THE COLD
STORAGE THE TRUCKS THE ONE TIME
INVESTMENTS THAT CAN HAVE LONG
TERM IMPACT IT TO INCREASE OUR
CAPACITY ESPECIALLY ON FRESH
PRODUCE. THE PROTEINS THAT HAVE
TO BE KEPT ON FOOD SAFETY
STANDARDS THANK YOU.
OKAY THANK YOU COMES FROM THE
PARTISAN SORRY YES.
THE ONLY SMALL COMMENT ON BOTH
TWO AND THREE IS S. THE SCALE
THERE'S NO MONEY FOR STATE
STAFFING ANOTHER ONE BUT IF THEY
DO SCALED SOME POINT A MODEST
COMMENSURATE TO TO OVERSIGHT
WOULD BE. THE APPROPRIATE OKAY.
ALRIGHT ELIA.
FINANCE.
YES THURMOND.
JUST A QUICK COMMENT TO
UNDERSCORE.
WHAT WHAT YOU ALLUDED TO THIS?
CAPITAL INVESTMENT ONE TIME.
DOES HELP US IS THE STATE.
MEET ON CARBON REDUCTION
OBJECTIVES.
ABOUT THE SAME TIME EXPANDING
CAPACITY TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD SO
IT'S.
IT'S A WIN WIN AND I WOULD HOPE
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE WOULD.
SCORE THIS BOMB AS IT LOOKS AT.
OUR CARBON EMISSION OBJECTIVES
AS WELL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT.
SOME.
WE GET A TWO FOR WITH THIS
INVESTMENT SO THANK YOU.
OKAY WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS.
NEXT THE INVESTMENT PROPOSAL IS
A SUPPORT FOR CATFISH
SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD AND FRUIT AND
THAT.
PILOT SO WE HAVE TO SEE
PATTERSON FROM THE CALIFORNIA
FOOD POLICY ADVOCATES ANALYZING
US FROM BAG OF FOOD AGRICULTURE
POLICY DIRECTOR SAN FRANCISCO
BAY AREA PLANNING. AND URBAN
RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. OF A WILL
WILL REMIND YOU IF YOU CAN KEEP
TOGETHER BUT IN THREE MINUTES
AND REMINDER TO THE. FIRST
PRESENTER I'VE HAD PEOPLE THAT
HAVE THE TO USING UP ALL THE
TIME FOR THE FIRST PRESENTER.
TO KEEP IN MIND YET THAT THE
TIME THE SECOND PRESENTER NEEDS
ALRIGHT THANK YOU. WELCOME.
THANK YOU ABOUT TRACY PATTERSON
WITH CALIFORNIA FOOD POLICY
ADVOCATES SO WHEN IT COMES TO
FOOD CALIFORNIANS REALLY A STATE
OF PARADOX WE. GROW THE MOST
FOOD IN THE NATION WE PRODUCE
MORE CROPS THAN ANY OTHER STATE
AMBER YET FORTY PERCENT OF OUR
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS CAN'T
AFFORD EVEN
S. B. SIX FOOD.
I'M AS YOU'VE HEARD THE CAL
FRESHMAN IF IT IS REALLY
INADEQUATE
STRESS TO THE MONTH AND SUPPORT
HEALTHY EATING.
SO BACK IN TWO THOUSAND SIX THE
STATE LAW HAD AUTHORIZED A
HEALTHY PURCHASE PILOT THAT WAS
DEPENDENT ON FEDERAL FUNDING
HAND THAT FEDERAL PILOT FUNDING
FROM USDA WENT TO MASSACHUSETTS
NOT CALIFORNIA.
AND WHILE THAT WAS OUR LOSS AT
THE TIME WE NOW CAN GAIN FROM
THE FACT THAT MASSACHUSETTS HAS
ALMOST EIGHT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
ADMINISTERING AN EBT INTEGRATED
HEALTHY INCENTIVE PURCHASE.
PROGRAM. SO IN THE ABSENCE OF A
CAL CAL FRESH EBT SYSTEM WE HAVE
LOCAL PROGRAMS BRING UP AND IT
WAS GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT ONE
OF THOSE IN A MINUTE. BUT THOSE
PROGRAMS DEPEND ON TOKENS
VOUCHERS COUPONS THEY'RE NOT
TRANSFERABLE THEIR LITTLE BIT
CONFUSING AND THEY'RE ALSO
ADMINISTRATIVELY BURDENSOME AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL.
COMMON EBT SYSTEM CAN HAVE A
MUCH MORE EQUITABLE REACH SO WE
ENCOURAGE YOU TO REALLY DO MORE
WITH THIS.
TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO
REALLY MAKE CAL FRESH A REALLY
HEALTHY AND TRUE EATING PROGRAM
ALL.
ASIAN THAT IT DOES RIGHT NOW
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY
FOR OUR STATE TELLING CALIFORNIA
AGRICULTURE TO LOW INCOME
RESIDENTS.
GOOD AFTERNOON ELIZA GUESS FOOD
AGRICULTURE POLICY DIRECTOR AT
SPERM WANNA ECHO WHAT YOU SEE IS
SAYING THAT WE STRONGLY SUPPORT
THIS AND HOPE YOU WILL AS WELL
THE WHOLE COMMITTEE. I'M WE RUN
A PROGRAM CALLED DOUBLE UP FOOD
BUCKS WHICH IS OPERATING RIGHT
NOW FOR GROCERY STORES IN SANTA
CLARA COUNTY AND WE'RE LOOKING
TO EXPAND. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN
IS SUPPLEMENTAL FRUIT VEGETABLE
PROGRAMS THAT WORK WE KNOW THAT
NINETY PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS
MORE THAN NINETY PERCENT OF
PARTISANS PRINCE.
SAY THEY BUY MORE FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES THEY EAT MORE FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES AND CAN STRETCH
THEIR BUDGET FURTHER OUR PROGRAM
YOU EARN THE INCENTIVE WHEN YOU
BUY CALIFORNIA GROWN FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES USING YOUR EBT CARD.
AND SO AS TRACY MENTIONED IT
SUPPORTS NOT ONLY HUNGER HEALTH
AYE BUT ALSO CALIFORNIA
AGRICULTURE. AND WE HAVE A GOAL
OF SEEING PROGRAMS LIKE DOUBLE
UP AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER
MODELS ACROSS THE STATE EXPAND
STATEWIDE. AND THIS BUDGET ASK
WOULD HELP US TAKE A VERY STRONG
STEP FORWARD TO REACHING THAT
GOAL BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE IT
EASIER FOR THE GROCERS TO
ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM OR FARM.
IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR
CUSTOMERS TO USE THAT WOULD HAVE
TO REMEMBER A PIECE OF PAPER OR
TOKEN.
AND IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO
ADMINISTER THE THE PAPERWORK FOR
REIMBURSEMENT ALL OF WHICH WOULD
ALLOW US TO SCALE AND SPREAD A
PROGRAM THAT IS A WIN WIN WIN
FOR OUR HEALTH.
FOOD SECURITY AND CALIFORNIA
AGRICULTURE MUCH MORE EASILY SO
HOPE WE CAN COUNT ON YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS.
I THINK YOU ARE INCOMES FROM.
SOCIAL SERVICES GOING COMMENTS
ON TIMING WERE MIGRATING OUR EBT
SYSTEM THE SUMMER SO MAKING SURE
WHERE POST STABILIZATION BEFORE
WE TAKE ON SOMETHING.
OKAY THANK YOU ELLIOTT.

THE LEGISLATURE THAT TO
CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO
THE PORTION FUNDING THAT WOULD
BE. PALATABLE TO AUTOMATION

URBAN DIALOGUE YET BETWEEN
EVERYONE ABOUT THIS IDEA AND
TIME BEING AND RIGHT. TO WEAR A
BUTTON SAN JOSE.

SOME COVER ABOUT TIMING BUT I
MEANS OUT IS A SOMETHING WE HAVE
BILL DO IT SO WORKABLE MEANS
EXEGESIS HAVE SHOWN US IT'S

APPROPRIATE TIME.

OBVIOUSLY I WANT TO MAKE IT WORK
SO.
I DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS
WOULD BE.
TO FINANCE OTHER WORDS.
I WOULD JUST SAY WE HAVEN'T.
FULLY BORE DOWN INTO THIS NUMBER
YET BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO
EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT.
HOW MUCH OF THIS FUNDING CAN BE
ATTRIBUTED TO THE BENEFITS
THEMSELVES WORSE THE AUTOMATION
AND WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TALKS
WITH?
SOURCE ANTARCTICA INVESTMENT
LIKE THAT TO THE EXTENT IT'S A
LEGISLATIVE BODY.
OKAY WELL I ENCOURAGE THE
CONVERSATION SO IF YOU GO

AND SENSITIVITY TO THE COMPLEX.
SITUATION OR FREEZING WEATHER
IMMIGRANT RESIDENTS.
INVESTING IN NUTRITION AND
BASIC NEEDS TO KEEP CHILDREN
LEARNING KEEPS PARENTS WORKING
AND IT KEEPS FAMILY STRONG IT
ALLOWS ALL OF US TO THRIVE.
AND SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR
RIGHT NOW AS A REAL COORDINATED
EFFORT BETWEEN ADVOCATES AND THE
STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN
TACKLE THESE COMPLEX ISSUES WE
CAN DEAL WITH THE SENSITIVITY OF
THE MATTERS AND REALLY BE
PROACTIVE AND THOUGHTFUL. SO
WE'RE LOOKING TO BOTH PROTECT
FOLKS WHO ARE CURRENTLY
RECEIVING ASSISTANCE AND
RECEIVING HELPING KEEP THEM
SECURE ON TO STRENGTHEN THE
STATE SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE THAT
ASSISTANCE AND LINKAGES TO OTHER
RESOURCES. AND TO HAVE A FUTURE
WORK TO MODERNIZE OUR FOOD
ASSISTANCE SO THAT IT CAN BE
MORE INCLUSIVE AS WE MOVE
FORWARD.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANK
YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TODAY
CHEN AT THE SILVA WITH
CALIFORNIA IMMIGRANT POLICY
CENTER. MY ORGANIZATION WAS
ACTUALLY FOUNDED IN NINETEEN
NINETY SIX.
PASSAGE AFTER WELFARE REFORM
IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT ARE
CRUELLY SOUGHT TO EXCLUDE SOME
IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS WITH LEGAL
STATUS FROM CRITICAL ASSISTANCE
UNFORTUNATELY WE SEE SOME OF
THOSE TRENDS RETURNING WITH THE
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS THAT ARE LEFT OUT
OF OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY NET
PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THEIR STATUS
AND AS MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED
THERE ARE BOTH SHORT TERM AND
LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS FOR A
STATE LIKE CALIFORNIA WHERE ONE
AND TWO KIDS. HAVE A PARENT WHO
IS AN IMMIGRANT AND SO WE REALLY
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS
PROPOSAL TO BRING TOGETHER THE
STAKEHOLDER GROUP TO THINK.
ABOUT.
YOU KNOW THE IMPACT OF THESE
CHANGES AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
AS MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED
PROTECT STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND
THANK YOU.
OKAY THANK YOU COMMENTS FROM
PARTS OR SERVICES.
ALEJO FINANCE.
QUESTIONS.
SO I MEAN THIS IS TOO RELIGIOUS
FOR LANGUAGE TO BRING
STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER TO I MEAN
IS THAT SOMETHING.
DOES NOT.
THAT.
WITH OKAY MAYBE CAN TOUCH ON
WHAT ACTIVITIES THIS DEPARTMENTS
CURRENTLY ENGAGING IN A DRY
DRESSES ISSUE AND HOW THIS MIGHT
FIT IN WITH THAT OR NOT SO IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT INCONSISTENT WITH
WHAT WE'RE DOING YOU KNOW AT
THIS POINT TRYING TO. WHO?
UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SEE WHAT.
COMES THROUGH BOTH IN TERMS OF
WHAT MIGHT COME THROUGH.
PUBLIC CHARGE DOCUMENTS BUT
ALSO WHAT MAY OCCUR IN THE FARM
BILL.
WEYRICH
HARM.
IN SOME ITERATION MAYOR OF
IMPACT VARIETY THESE PROGRAMS SO
I MEAN CERTAINLY IN WE WOULD
ALWAYS WANT TO SIT WITH OUR
STAKEHOLDERS TO.
HELP BRAINSTORM IT
OKAY AND IN TERMS OF FOR THE
PROPOSERS AYE MEANS. THAT ONE
AREAS IS THAT WHILE WE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS
AND THERE'S CURRENTLY OBVIOUSLY
THERE'S CURRENTLY FEAR RIGHT NOW
A. GIVEN THE RHETORIC THAT
ADMINISTRATION SO FORTH. OF
TIMING WISE YOU KNOW WERE OTHER
WE WE'RE HEARING STUFF IT'S NOT.
RESIDENTS AND THE REGULATION OR
SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT'S SO WHY WOULD YOU SEE THE
TIMING WORK IN RELATION TO
WHAT'S GOING ON IN TERMS OF THAT
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT I MEAN
THEY TALK THE SAME THINGS AND
MAYBE SOMETHING WILL COME DOWN.
THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET SO.
pTOGETHER YEAH I DO THINK THAT
THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE?
PARTICULARLY URGENT CERTAINLY
THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION.
AND I THINK FOR US IS DVOCATES
WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TO MAKE
SURE THAT COMMUNITY AND
AS WITH OUR ELIGIBLE FOR AND
WHAT THESE CHANGES MAY OR MAY
NOT MEAN FOR THEM AND THEIR
FAMILIES AND. THINK THAT IT'S
PRETTY GOOD IMPORTANT FOR THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND TO BE ABLE TO
ECHO THAT MESSAGE AND. AS YOU
MENTIONED THE TIMING IS
UNCERTAIN AND SO IT'S CRITICAL
THAT WE ARE PREPARED.
FOR THE IMMINENT OF YOU KNOW A
RIVAL THOSE CHANGES
POTENTIAL CHANGES.
BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THE
PERCEPTION CAUSES ACTION ON
BEHALF OF INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR
FAMILIES IRREGARDLESS OF THE
TIMING OF THE ACTUAL FEDERAL
POLICY CHANGES THAT MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE.
YES PERCEPTION SOMETIMES BECOMES
REALITY EVEN WHEN. REALITY
HASN'T TECHNICALLY HAPPENS SO.
ALRIGHT WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND.
.
WILL CONTINUE DIALOGUE I THINK
SO. ALRIGHT AND THEN FINALLY
HAVE I A SIX IS A SAW
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS AND
LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT TERMS TO
HURL. LESSONS AND LAW POVERTY.
AND I WANT TO THANK GOD THE
PREVIOUS PRESENTERS HAVE BEEN
DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB OF
SPLITTING THE TIME.
WELL I'LL TAKE THAT AS A HINT.
.
BOB IS SECURE MY CAROL AGAIN
WITH THE WESTERN CENTER ON LAW
APPLY.
FOR LETTING IS PRESENT ON THIS
ITEM.
.
THE A EARLIER ON THE AGENDA
TODAY YOU HAD A LENGTHY
DISCUSSION ABOUT SAWS MIGRATION
AND ABOUT THE S. THE EFFORTS
GOING ON AT THE STATE LEVEL TO
CONSOLIDATE OUR THREE. A
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
AND WAS SINGLE STATEWIDE SYSTEM
A WE THINK HIS THIS IS LONG
OVERDUE AND AND REALLY A AN
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD. COME
WE'RE HERE TODAY THOUGH TO
REQUESTED TO BE A STAKEHOLDER
WORKGROUP PROCESS.
ESTABLISHED OH BY THE
DEPARTMENT THAT WOULD WORK ALONG
WITH THE TO THE VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS ARE WORKING ON THE
CREATION OF THE SINGLE WHITE
STATEWIDE SYSTEM.
AND THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT.
YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO WE DID A
VERY SIMILAR THING WHEN WE
CREATED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
AND HAD TO PUT TOGETHER.
ELIGIBILITY AND A RETENTION
SYSTEMS AND THE INCLUSION OF THE
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS I THINK AND
THAT WAS REALLY INSTRUMENTAL IN
PRODUCING THE PRODUCT THAT WE
DID. THAT YOU KNOW REALLY DROVE
DOWN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN OUR
STATE TO RUN INSURED AND NOT
RECEIVING I'M HEALTHCARE IN OUR
STATE WE THINK A SIMILAR
APPROACH IS.
IS CALLED FOR HERE.
AND SO WE ARE COMING TO THE
LEGISLATURE TODAY AND.
WE ARE ASKING OF THE COMMITTEE
TO REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT TO
HAVE A STAKEHOLDER WORK GROUP TO
RECEIVE INPUT ON THE MIGRATION
OF OUR THREE INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SINGLES. INTO A
SINGLE SYSTEM.
NAMELY REQUESTED THAT SAUCE
PLANNING THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
PROVIDE STAKEHOLDERS UP TO TO
PROVIDE MEANINGFUL INPUT INTO
THE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION IN ASPECTS OF
ELIGIBILITY ENROLLMENT AND.
RETENTION AND SO WE I BELIEVE
HAVE PROVIDE IF WE HAVEN'T I
APOLOGIZE TO THE COMMITTEE WE
PROVIDED.
POTENTIAL TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD ACCOMPLISH THIS
PURPOSE BUT WE DO THINK THAT THE
MORE THAT WE GET OUR
STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGE AT THE EARLY
STAGES OF THIS PRODUCT PROCESS
BUT BETTER THAT PRODUCT WILL BE
AT THE END WHEN WE ROLL IT OUT
FOR THE CONSUMERS. SO WE AGAIN
MAKE THIS REQUEST AND HOPE THAT
THE COMMITTEE WHEN THE TIME
COMES WILL ADOPT IT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
A COMMITMENT FOR SUCH SERVICES.
NOT BEYOND WHAT I WAS SUGGESTED
THIS MORNING WHEN THE ISSUE WAS
RAISED OKAY ALRIGHT ALEJO.

OKAY. WELL I THINK I.
YES CATEGORICALLY WE SERVE WE WE
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT SOME
OF THE I. T. STUFF CERTAINLY I
THINK WE WANT TO TRY TO BE SURE
WE ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS THAT
THEIR. APPROPRIATE TIME AND ALSO
RECOGNIZING THAT.
CLIENTS ARE ACTUALLY.
ENTER EMAIL THE SYSTEM WILL BE
INTERFACING WE ALSO WITH CLIENTS
AS WELL SO I MEAN THAT AS A WE
NEED TO BE SURE THAT THAT WORKS
THE AND THAT THAT THERE'S THAT
CLIENTS ARE. PEOPLE WHO CAN
REPRESENT.
AND ADVOCATE FOR THEM CAN AND I
CAN CAN WEIGH IN. ON THAT TO
MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE SO

IN THE NEXUS FOR SHIPMENT.
THAT MAKES IT A TWENTY NINETEEN
TWENTY TWENTY WE KNOW THAT THE

ABOUT.
ON THOSE TWO DAYS.
IS A METS.

A CEREMONY THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. I WANT TO THANK THE
PRESENTERS SOME.
DELORES KAMALA SHARON THANK YOU
FOR REPRESENTING YOUR
ORGANIZATIONS HERE TODAY. AND I
JUST WANNA OBSERVE THE EXAMPLES
OF WHAT'S BEEN BILL ALREADY ON
VOLUNTEER LABOR AND THE CENTRAL
VALLEY. IN EAST BAY IN OAKLAND
IT BUILDS ON A HISTORIC
RELATIONSHIP.
BETWEEN MARTIN LUTHER KING
JUNIOR AND SAY SIR CHAVEZ IN THE
UFW DELORES. NAM.
AND THE PARTNERSHIP. THAT AT THE
TIME THAT THAT WAS BUILT GAVE
HOPE TO MANY AMERICANS.
BUT THE POWER OF UNIFYING
DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES.
IN THE QUEST OF. ECONOMIC
DEMOCRACY.
ADDRESSING. THE VESTIGES OF
RACISM IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND
EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO REPRESENT
THEMSELVES AND RAISE THEIR OWN
VOICE AND AS I'VE READ THE
PROPOSALS AND HAVE MET WITH THE
PROPONENTS.
IT'S A NON PARTISAN EFFORT.
TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE THE TOOLS.
TO. RAISE THEIR OWN VOICE IN
BUILDING THEIR COMMUNITIES
FUTURES.
AND PERHAPS NOW MORE THAN EVER
DECLINE IN OUR COUNTRY. THE
VIOLENCE THAT WE SEE IN OUR
COUNTRY THE RAW VIOLENCE IT'S
ADVOCATED BY MANY. THAT'S BASED
ON RACISM IN DEGRADATION OF THE
OTHER. HERE WE HAVE A MODEL THAT
WHILE IT'S BEING BUILT IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. IN THE EAST BAY.
HAS EVERY POSSIBILITY OF
BECOMING A MODEL FOR STATEWIDE
IN INDEED NATIONAL. ON
EMPOWERMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE SO.
IN WE START SMALL AND WE BUILD.
THE UNITED FARM WORKERS UNION
STARTED SMALL AND IT BUILT.
THEN THE SOUTHERN POVERTY.
EFFORTS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING
IN BUILDING IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT IT STARTED SMALL AND IT
BUILT.
BUT THE LINKAGE.
WAS BUILT ON VOLUNTEERS AND
WOMEN LOOK AT YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY
WHO ARE LOOKING FOR PATHWAYS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION TO JOBS TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ON THE WAY
WE'RE GONNA GET THERE.
IS BY GIVING THEM THE TOOLS IN
THE VOICE TO SELF ORGANIZE HIM
BE THEIR OWN. ADVOCATES SO THIS
IS NOT JUST A VISION OF WHAT
MIGHT BE. IT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE
DOING TODAY IN THESE
COMMUNITIES.
WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF THE TOWER
SWEAR TO FOUNDATION AND THE
MARTIN LTHER KING.
SENATE FREEDOM CENTER IN
OAKLAND SO I CAN THINK OF NO
BETTER INVESTMENT FOR THE STATE
REALLY A SMALL INVESTMENT IN THE
SCALE OF OUR LARGER BUDGET.
I THINK DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

ROBIN WILL HEAD FOR IN
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES.
MARCELA RUIZ CDSS.
JAZZ OUT MODE LET ANALYST'S
HONOR FINE INDIANA RUMBLES OF
FINANCE OKAY THANK YOU ALRIGHT
SO I'VE GIVEN.
OVERVIEW AND AGAIN THAT SET THE
HIGHLIGHTS ON WHAT'S GOING ON
THE IMMIGRATION BRANCH ALTHOUGH
MY GUESS IS.
PROBABLY A LOT LESS.
ABSOLUTELY WILL HIT THE
HIGHLIGHTS.
MORE SALARIES WITH IMMIGRATION
AND REFUGEE PROGRAMS BRANCHES
CDSS.
.
THE CSS ADMINISTERS THREE
DIFFERENT IMMIGRATION LEGAL
SERVICES PROGRAMS THAT I A STAFF
IMMIGRATION SERVICES FUND
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ONE
CALIFORNIA THE UNACCOMPANIED.
MINOR PROGRAM THE U. M. PROGRAM
AND THE DOCTOR LEGAL SERVICES.
THIS YEAR THE IMMIGRATION
SERVICES FUND IS A FORTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT.
AWARDED TO NINETY TWO DIFFERENT
ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE ACROSS
THE STATE WE ARE IN OUR THIRD
YEAR OF OUR FUNDING CYCLE.
I AM A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS I
THINK THAT WE'RE VERY PROUD OF
TO DEFEAT A WITH THIS FILE AND
WE HAVE.
PROVIDED SERVICES TO ROUGHLY
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS FOR DHAKA.
PROVIDED SERVICES.
.
FOUR SEVENTY THREE THOUSAND
PEOPLE TO NATURALIZE AND HAVE
REACHED FOUR HUNDRED SEVEN OVER
FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS THROUGH
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH EFFORTS.
ADDITIONALLY THIS YEAR FOR THE
FIRST TIME WE ARE FUNDING
REMOVAL TO FUND SERVICES OUT OF
THE FORTY FIVE MILLION I'M
DOLLARS THIRTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS.
ARE BEING INVESTED AND REMOVAL
TO FUND SERVICES WITH THE SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR AND BY
DIRECTLY INTO THE CENTRAL
VALLEY.
WE CONTINUE TO SEE SOME
CHALLENGES AROUND THE PROGRAM
AND HAVE AND TRY TO ADDRESS
THOSE WHO AM I THINK I MENTIONED
THIS LAST YEAR WHICH CONTINUES
TO BE A CHALLENGES. THAT.
.
CHANGING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW
AND POLICY.
AND THE WAY WE'VE TRIED TO
ADDRESS THAT IS TO.
TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT STAKEHOLDER
ENGAGEMENT
SURE THAT'S A WHOLE
AN ABILITY TO INFORM THE
DIRECTION OF THE OF THE PROGRAM
AND TO TRY TO KEEP OUR CONTRACTS
AS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE.
THE OTHER ISSUE IS AROUND THE
LIMITED CBO INFRASTRUCTURE IN
INLAND CALIFORNIA AND RURAL
CALIFORNIA. AND.
THAT IS A CHALLENGE THAT IS.
PROBABLY DEEPLY ROOTED IN
HISTORICAL INVESTMENT ISSUES.
AND THE NUMBER OF OTHER FORCES.
TO THAT END THOUGH THE
DEPARTMENT HOUSE TRY TO MAXIMIZE
THE INVESTMENT WHEREVER POSSIBLE
IN AREAS LIKE THE CENTRAL VALLEY
IN AREAS LIKE THE CENTRAL COAST
AND INLAND AND THEN EMPIRE. AND
TRADITIONALLY UNDERSERVED AND
FINALLY ON THIS PROGRAM I JUST
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AND WE DID
DEVELOP FIVE NEW PROGRAM
ELEMENTS THIS YEAR ALREADY
MENTIONED REMOVAL DEFINES.
ANOTHER NEW PROGRAM ELEMENT THIS
YEAR IS SERVICES FOR DEPORTED
VETERANS AND THE DEPARTMENT IS
CURRENTLY PARTNERING. UP WITH
WITH CAL THAT WHO'S TAKING THE
LEAD ON PROVIDING NATURALIZATION
SERVICES FOR FOR VETERANS.
AND DIE WE ARE PARTNERING WITH
CAL THE ON THOSE EFFORTS IN
ADDITION WE'VE MADE AN
INVESTMENT TO HELP US VETERANS
WHO HAVE BEEN DEPORTED TO REGAIN
STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES.
I CAN TALK ABOUT THE DOCTOR
LEGAL SERVICES FUNDING PROGRAM.
.
THAT'S A TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR
INVESTMENT OVER A THREE YEAR
PERIOD AND TO DATE WE HAVE.
OUR CONTRACTORS RATHER HAVE
PROVIDED SERVICES TO SIX.
HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS WITH DOCKER
RENEWALS SO.
THAT MEANS THAT THAT IN ADDITION
TO THE SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
SERVICES THAT WERE PROVIDED WITH
I ASSESSED THE TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN
HELP WITH DOC LEGAL SERVICES IN
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THROUGH THIS
ONE.
.
YOU ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE UNACCOMPANIED MINOR PROGRAM
I'LL JUMP AROUND A BIT FINISH
OFF WITH THE.
API PROJECT THE UNACCOMPANIED
MINOR PROGRAM IS IN ITS FOURTH
YEAR OF FUNDING ANNUALLY WE FUND
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY CASES.
.
TO DATE OUR CONTRACTORS HAVE
PROVIDED SERVICES TO ALMOST
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED CHILDREN.
BORDER FIFTY SIX CASES HAVE
BEEN COMPLETELY CLOSED UP THESE
CASES ARE LONG ARE REQUIRE THREE
FIVE YEAR SOMETIMES TO CLOSE
OUT.
BUT OF THOSE FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY
SIX CASES NINETY EIGHT PERCENT
HAVE CLOSED OUT SUCCESSFULLY
WITH.
THOSE USING CHILDREN ACQUIRING
STATUS IN THE UNITED STATES.
THE ONLY OTHER THING I'LL
MENTION IS THAT OUT OF THOSE
FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY SIX CASES
SEVENTY PERCENT WERE GRANTED
ASYLUM. WHICH SPEAKS TO THE
COUNTRY CONDITIONS THAT THESE
CHILDREN ARE ARE FLEEING BECAUSE
THEY HAD TO ESTABLISH A CREDIBLE
FEAR OF PERSECUTION. IN THEIR
HOME COUNTRY.
AND UP OF FINALLY YOU.
YOU WANT AN UPDATE ON THE API
INVESTMENT PROJECT. THAT IS AN
INVESTMENT THAT WE MADE LAST
YEAR IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA
WITH.
WITH THE PROVIDER FOCUS ON THE
API COMMUNITY GOING INTO THAT
INVESTMENT THE TO YOUR
INVESTMENT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER
YEAR.
AND IT'S A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE CBO AND A RESEARCHER DR TOM
LONG FROM UC SAN DIEGO.
GOING INTO THAT INVESTMENTS OUT
WE WE KNEW A FEW THINGS.
FIRST OF ALL API COMMUNITY IS
INCREDIBLY DIVERSE
LINGUISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY.
OF THE API COMMUNITY TENDS TO
NATURALIZE THAT GREATER RATES
THAN OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES
BUT THE UNDOCUMENTED API
COMMUNITY TENDS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF OTHER LEGAL
REMEDIES AT LOWER RATES THAN
THAN OTHER COMMUNITIES.
THE API COMMUNITY IS THE FASTEST
GROWING UNDOCUMENTED POPULATION
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND.
THE THE.
IN TALKING WITH OTHER FUNDERS WE
HAVE.
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE THAT THE
TRADITIONAL THROUGH INVESTMENT
IN OUR REGION EDUCATION REALLY
HAVEN'T.
TO USE THE RESULTS THAT HAVE
BEEN HOPE FORCE OF THERE HAS
BEEN INVESTMENT IN OUR REGION
EDUCATION EFFORTS THE API
COMMUNITY. WITH VERY THEM
MARGINAL RETURN ON THE
INVESTMENT TERMS THAT UPTICK IN.
SERVICES PROVIDER IN IN THE LA
AREA WHICH IS THE AREA WHERE. AT
THE SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF
THE API UNDOCUMENTED POPULATION
RESIDES.
ALSO TO IDENTIFY BEST PRACTICES
AND TO HELP PRODUCE SOME
DATA THAT WOULD HELP INFORM THE
PROGRAM DIRECTION IN FUTURE
YEARS. ONE OF THE. THINGS ABOUT%
IT IMMIGRATION DATA IS THAT IT
DRAWS ON OTHER DATA SOURCES BUT
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF AND TO
RACKED.
SORT OF EVIDENCE OR OR OR
RESEARCH PARTICULARLY IN FOR
THEIR SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES ARE
OR VERY REGIONALIZED EFFORTS.
IS SO TO DATE THAT ORGANIZATION
HAS GROWN ITS PRACTICE OF FROM
TWO STAFF MEMBERS TO SEVEN STAFF
MEMBERS INCLUDING TO IT. TWO
ATTORNEYS THEY HAVE HELPED OVER
TWO HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS
INCLUDING.
TWENTY INDIVIDUALS WITH TAKA
AND THIRTY WITH OTHER
IMMIGRATION REMEDIES.
AND DOCTORS HOW LONG IS
FINALIZING A STUDY OF THE
UNDOCUMENTED POPULATION IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE ALSO
EXPECT TO HAVE REPORTER ON BEST
PRACTICES
AS FOR. FOR REACHING THE API
POPULATION.
THIRTEEN OF THEM ANY COMES FROM
EARLIER.
FINANCE.
SINCE.
SO I APPRECIATE.
OF THE WORK ON THE AP A POP AYE
POPULATIONS AT SEVERITY FASTEST
GROWING. GROUP OF FOR
UNDOCUMENTED.
AND I KNOW YOU SAID THAT.
DUCKED WIRELESS STRESSED OUT
STUDY.
.
IN TERMS OF I MEAN HOW IT THE
LANGUAGES OBVIOUSLY A BARRIER
AND SAID DIVERSE.
CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY.
WHAT KIND OF EFFORTS ARE BEING
MADE TO ADDRESS THOSE LINGUISTIC
AND CULTURAL BARRIERS? DATED NOW
A STUDY YET BUT I'M AWARE. OF
HOW AVAILABLE DO OUR VARIOUS
LANGUAGES AVAILABLE TO THE TYPES
SERVICES WERE PROVIDING RIGHT
NOW.
WE DO RELY ON OUR CONTRACTORS
TO.
AND WE DO WHEN WE EVALUATE
GRANT PROPOSALS WE LOOK AT THE
LANGUAGES THAT THAT. THE
PROVIDERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO
PROVIDE.
SERVICES AND ONE OF THE ONE OF
THE MAIN ISSUES I WOULD SAY IS
THAT.
.
IT'S A COMBINATION OF HAVING
ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE THE
CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC CAPACITY
BUT ALSO ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE
LEGAL SERVICE WHERE THERE IS A
REAL LIMITATION IS AN
ORGANIZATION.
THAT CAN BOTH PROVIDE PROVIDE
LINGUISTIC ACCESS BUT ALSO HAVE
THE STAFF IN PLACE WHO CAN
PROVIDE THE REPRESENTATION ON
THE MORE COMPLEX CASES. AND SO
TO THAT END WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
TO TRY TO IDENTIFY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS
THAT MAY BE ON THE CUSP OF
DEVELOPING THOSE EXPERTISE TO.
BE ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS ARE MORE
COMPLEX CASES.
IN ORDER TO MAKE INVESTMENTS TO
CONTINUE TO BUILD THE CAPACITY
OKAY YEAH I THINK THE PAST THE
BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE
STARTING OFF WITH AND. BUT THE.
VERY WORDS UNDERFUNDED THE START
WITH AND THEN SO AND THEN NOW
WAS WERE FACING THIS YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO ONE AROUND BECAUSE
YOU IT TAKES TIME TO GROW THE.
THEY CAPACITY THE WORK FORCE AND
SO FORTH YOU NEED TO HAVE AS YET
HAVE ATTORNEYS TO SPEAK LANGUAGE
AND.
AND THEN THE IF YOU KNOWN
INTERPRETERS AND IT'S
UNFORTUNATE AND PAUL FORTUNATE
FORTUNATELY YOU KNOW IT'S NOT
JUST ONE RIGHT NOW I MEAN YOU
HAVE TO FIND.
MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AND AND IT OF
COURSE CERTAINLY I THINK A. LOT
YOU KNOW CERTAINLY CULTURAL
BARRIERS AS WELL TO.
THE TERMS OF COMFORT WITH LEGAL
SYSTEM IN GENERAL I THINK.
THE API MANY API
NOT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE
LEGAL SYSTEM PERIOD IN THAT WE
SEE THIS REFLECTED LOTS OF NOT
JUST IMMIGRATION MANY OTHER.
AREAS REP WAS WHILE SO BUT YES
CENTER MONEY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
APPRECIATE THE UP THE.
.
I'M CURIOUS WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION'S.
A ANNOUNCED INTENT TO COUNSEL
THE TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS
IN YOU IT'S LISTED IN IN OUR.
.
AGENDA FOR TODAY BUT. ROUGHLY
FIFTY THOUSAND SALVADORANS IN
ABOUT SIX THOUSAND HONDURANS WHO
WOULD LOSE THEIR TEMPORARY
PROTECTED STATUS.
AND I UNDERSTAND. THAT COMMUNITY
WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE LEGAL
SERVICES CURRENTLY PROVIDED.
WITH THAT EXPANSION OF YET
ANOTHER POPULATION A. GET
CURRENT RESOURCES.
WILL THEY BE SUFFICIENT TO
PROVIDE SUPPORT TINT TO THESE
FAMILIES.
OR WILL YOU REQUIRE A EXPANDED
RESOURCES.
ON.
IF EMILY ME ANSWER THAT QUESTION
AND IN IN IN TO.
TWO RESPECTS SO THE.
.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT HER AND THE
TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS FOR
SALVADORANS WAS MADE EARLIER
THIS YEAR AND IT WAS A PERIOD OF
RE REGISTRATION WHICH. WHICH
ENDED.
ALREADY AND SO.
.
THE DEPARTMENT.
HAS BEEN WORKING WITH HAS
WORKED WITH PROVIDERS WHO FOCUS
ON THE TPS POPULATION AND HAVE
SONS OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
TPS POPULATION OVER THE YEARS.
AND MADE AN INVESTMENT OF THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
ENSURE THAT THERE WOULD BE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR THAT RE
REGISTRATION PERIOD.
.
IT IS TRUE THAT.
WITH.
ALL OF THE CHANGES AND FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION LAW AND POLICY AND
THEN ANNOUNCEMENT OF.
OF REVERSALS OF POSITIONS ON
CERTAIN PROGRAMS IT DOES STRAIN
THE RESOURCES OF THAT. OF THAT
PROVIDERS TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS
ALL OF THE NEEDS ON THE GROUND
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES I THINK
FOR GONNA SESSIONS IS TO BE ABLE
TO PIVOT. QUICKLY FROM ONE GROUP
TO ANOTHER WITH ACH
ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IT THAT IS
MADE SO THE RESOURCE QUESTION I
THINK IS COMPLICATED BECAUSE IT
IS BOTH THE.
THERE IS DEFINITELY MORE NEED
THAN THERE ARE SERVICES
AVAILABLE.
BUT I THINK WHERE GETS COMPLEX
IS ON THE CAPACITY FRONT AND.
AS DOCTOR PAT MENTIONED.
BUILDING CAPACITY TAKES TIME IT
IT TAKES TIME FOR ORGANIZATIONS
TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB THE FUNDING
BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE HIRE
THE STAFF.
TRAIN THE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO.
AND HAMSTER SERVICES THAT SAID
WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL
ORGANIZATIONS GROW AND HIT IT
AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS VERY
SUCCESSFULLY. AND I WOULD THINK
THE EXPERIENCE THE FOUNDATION
THAT'S BEEN BUILT.
YOU KNOW IT'S MAYBE BEEN. IN
REACTION TO A DIFFERENT
POPULATION.
IT.
WITHIN THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN
CAPACITY TO PIVOT IN.
GAIN THE NEW LEGAL KNOWLEDGE OR
CONNECTIONS WITH THAT.
TARGETED COMMUNITY THAT. WE'RE
NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH IN OUR
ABILITY TO RESPOND TO THE.
TPS COMMUNITY.
BUT I KNOW THIS IS JUST.
UPDATE TODAY NOT BECAUSE I KNOW
WE HAVE.
BUDGET ALLOCATIONS NAM BENT I
THINK IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO US
TO KNOW. HOW THAT EXISTING
CAPACITY MAY BE STRAINED BY
THESE?
A.
NEW NAM COMMUNITIES THAT ARE NOW
A TARGET OR AT RISK SO THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU THANK YOU AS WELL AS
THE AND.
WE DEFINE WHAT IT.
FIGURE OUT WHAT.
RESOURCES IN BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WE NEED MOVING
FORWARD GIVEN WIPED OUT SOME
PART OF ITS ANTICIPATION I
REALIZE.
FOR THE PROGRAM BUT THERE'S
DOING THINGS.
ICE'S BASICALLY DETAINING AND
TRYING TO DEPORT CAMBODIAN
REFUGEES.
NATIONAL SIDE THE TICKET
REFUGEES HERE IN THAT CALIFORNIA
OTHER PARTS OF OVER A HUNDRED.
SO THEY ARE NOT THEY ARE
TARGETING HAVE PEOPLE INCLUDING
THE API COMMUNITY OTHER TIGHTLY
TINO COMMUNITY SO. THEY'RE OUT
THERE AND.
AND.
PEOPLE NEED TO BE SURE THAT.
THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE
AND.
AND AND VERY POSITIVE.
SURE THAT RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED.
THE GUARD.
OKAY SO WE GOT WE DO HAVE A
PROPOSAL FOR INVESTMENT WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR AND THEN WE'LL
TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO WE HAVE A PROPOSAL
INCREASING LEGAL DEFENSE
CAPACITY IN CENTRAL VALLEY. AND
WE HAVE A DOCTOR MARTINEZ AND.
p MEMBER OF THE FRESNO COUNTY
LEGAL DEFENSE FUND STEERING
COMMITTEE AND.
AND WE HAVE VERY ON A MARTINEZ
LOT RAPID RESPONSE VALLEY WATCH
COORDINATOR FAITH IN THE VALLEY.
.
WE ASK YOU TO AGAIN.
IT'S THREE MINUTES TOTAL SO
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU FIGURE
OUT THE VIDE YOUR TIME
APPROPRIATELY AND.
WHOEVER GOES FIRST DOES MEAN TO
GET ALL THAT'S TO TAKE ALL THE
TIME. RIGHT WELCOME GOOD
AFTERNOON.
SENATOR SPECULATIVE HERE TO
FIGHT.
WE'RE HERE TO ASK FOR HELP FOR
PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED.
AND THAT SEEKS TO REALLY.
ADDRESS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT WE
HAVE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY WHICH
IS TO BUILD ORGANIZATIONAL
CAPACITY TO SERVE ORGAN FAMILIES
IN THAT REGION.
I'M I REPRESENT ORGANIZATIONS
ONE IS THE FOR THE COMPANY BUT
THE TOP DEFENSE A COMMITTEE. AND
ALSO THEIR POSITION THAT
ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE CENTRAL
VALLEY IMMIGRANT AGGRESSION
COLLABORATIVE.
BOB OUT THE REGION THAT WE WORK
FOR INCLUDES KERN COUNTY ALL THE
WAY TO STANISLAUS COUNTY AND
EVEN STOCKTON.
IN THAT REGION THERE ARE SOME
NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND IMMIGRANTS
AND ABOUT HALF A MILLION
CHILDREN WITH AT LEAST ONE
IMMIGRANT PARENTS.
WHAT EXISTING THE REGION IS ALSO
A VERY LIMITED NUMBER CRITICIZED
WHEN THIS PROBLEM OF INCREASE
OUR I THINK DVD BEGAN TO TAKE
PLACE OUR LAST YEAR. WE BEGAN TO
SEE THAT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
BEING ARRESTED IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN COMPARTEN SIXTEEN
HOURS DOUBLE.
ARE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WERE
ARRESTED IN FEBRUARY WITH
ACOUSTIC MEDICALLY. AND WOOD
BEGAN TO REALIZE LAST YEAR TO
ONE OF PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE WE
BEEN VERY GOOD AT ORGANIZING
DOCKER WORKSHOPS OF A VERY GOOD
ORGANIZED METROSEXUAL WORKSHOPS.
BUT WE DO NOT HAVE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY IS A LEGAL
CAPACITY TO ASSIST PEOPLE WHO
ARE IN DETENTION THE PROTECTIONS
OF THIS FUND THAT WE CREATED. IS
AN ATTEMPT TO THAT THE PROPOSAL
THAT WE HAVE SUBMITTED TO USED
TO PROVIDE.
I THAT THE DEVELOPING FOR AREAS
ONE IS TO BE ABLE TO.
ASSIST PEOPLE OR IN THE
PETITION PROCEEDINGS SECOND MOST
POPULOUS A LEGAL FELLOWS FOR THE
RURAL AREAS THOUGH I WAS SERVING
A CENTRAL VALLEY.
THIRD IS THE PIPELINE PROJECT
WOULD HELP BUILD THE CAPACITY.
STRENGTHENING OUR. THE CAPACITY
BY.
HAVING FELLOWS GOAL FROM OP
UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL TO LAW
SCHOOL IN THE SYSTEM APPLY TO
LAW SCHOOL. AND THE FOURTH ONE
IS THE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN
IMMIGRATION.
IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
AMERICAN ENGLISH LOWER
SUFFICIENT COMPARTO FIVE HUNDRED
IN THE BAY AREA THE GIVES AN
IDEA OF THE VERY LIMITED
CAPACITY WE HAVE DESPITE THE
LARGE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS OUR
REGION.
TO LATINOS THREE MINUTES WILL
TRY AND KEEP IT.
SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A
LITTLE BIT OF AN IDEA AS TO WHAT
IT'S LOOK LIKE IN THE
COMMUNITIES I WAS FUNCTIONING AS
A VOLUNTEER. A WITH OUR RAPID
RESPONSE IMMIGRATION HOTLINE AND
NOW ON STAFF WITH FAITH IN THE
VALLEY. SO WE HAD AN INCREASE OF
CALLS IN THESE LAST FEW MONTHS
ON THE RESEARCH DAYS WE HAD OVER
A HUNDRED CALLS A DAY.
AND.
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS IN THE
HOLDING ENTER IN FRESNO ALONE
THERE WERE CLOSE TO THREE
HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS. UP PROCESS
AND SO INDIVIDUALS WERE CALLING
OUR HOTLINES WITH EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS OF WHICH RIGHT NOW
WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH
ABOUT. THIRTY FAMILIES THAT HAVE
HAD A LOVED ONE DETAINED AND
THOSE WHICH IS THE FAMILIES THAT
REACHED OUT TO US.
AND.
WE HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OUR
RESOURCES NOT ONLY IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY BUT WE'VE REACHED
OUT TO. POTENTIAL PARTNERS IN
THE BAY AND THE LA AREA.
AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT EVERYONE
AND IS IN THE SAME BOAT A WHIRL
CRISIS MODE. AND BECAUSE OF THAT
THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE
ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN ABLE
TO TAKE ON ANY OF THESE FAMILIES
PRO BONO. AND THE MAJORITY OF
THESE FAMILIES ARE LOW INCOME
FAMILIES AND THEY CANNOT AFFORD.
TO PAY FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
SO.
I AM FIRSTHAND SEEING THE
EXPERIENCE OF THE KIND OF TRAUMA
AND DEVASTATION BUT THESE
IMMIGRATION ACTIVITIES ARE
CAUSING IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND
IS HAVE YOU HEARD FROM PARTNERS
TODAY WHEN ONE FAMILY IS
AFFECTED THE ENTIRE COMMUNITIES
AFFECTED. ON SO WE'RE HERE TO
ASK YOU GUYS TO SUPPORT OUR
COMMUNITIES.
THANK YOU.
BY COMMENTS FROM OUR SOCIAL
SERVICES.
JUST TO REITERATE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT KNOWLEDGES AND
RECOGNIZES THAT THE NEED AND
VERY UNDERSERVED REGIONS LIKE
THE CENTRAL VALLEY. THANK YOU
BELIAU. BALANCE FINANCE.
THE CIVIC CENTER THIS IS A
PRIORITY FOR THE LEGISLATURE
THAT CONSIDERS THE OPERATION
COSTS AND THEN. A POTENTIAL
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AS WELL.
OKAY MAKE.
MISSION.
OKAY SO MY THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PRESENTATION I THINK WE HEARD
FROM THE DEPARTMENT ABOUT
CHALLENGE THE CAPACITY
APPRECIATE YOU SAYING IS ONLY
FORTY IMMIGRATION
ATTORNEYS IN THE HOLES.
IT IT AND AND AND THE WHOLE
CENTRAL VALLEY.
WHILE COULD. SO.
YES YES AS OUR MONEY.
WE KNOW THERE'S BEEN AN UPTURN
IN.
I SOMETIME S. ACTIVITY
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
SOME.
HAD IT WITH.
THERE'S FORTY IMMIGRATION
LAWYERS HOW MANY ICE AGENTS ARE.
ACTIVE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY OR
WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
ONE OF THINGS THAT I CAN SHARE
IT INFORMATION FROM OTHER
SOURCES THAT.
.
THOUGH MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE BEING DETAINED.
ARE NOT HAVING ACCESS TO LEGAL
COUNSEL.
OTHER BEING DETAINED ALOT IN
MANY CASES THE PORTAGE.
BECAUSE THERE ARE ENOUGH
IMMIGRATION LAWYERS THAT WORK
WITH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THE
MAJORITY OF THE. NONPROFIT LEGAL
SIX WRITERS TO NOT HAVE ATTORNEY
STAMPEDE ACROSS THE
REPRESENTATIVES. WHICH BUILT.
TWO ANALOGY WITH MEDICAL
TERMSHAVE BEEN ENDORSED BY NOT
HAVING
DOCTOR NOT HAVING HOSPITALS
NEARBY WE HAVE CLINICS.
IT WOULD HAVE HOSPITALS UT
RAISED HIS MAJOR PROBLEM. THAT
WE KNOW THAT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO
THE CENTRAL VALLEY IN THE
CENTRAL COAST WOULD BELONG TO
STATEWIDE NETWORKS OF IMMIGRANT
RESTRICTIONS. IN THE CENTRAL
COAST SAME PROBLEM IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE SOME PALM THROUGH THE
PART OF THE STATE'S A PROBLEM.
AND EVEN WITHIN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WE ALSO HAVE VERY SERIOUS
PROBLEMS TRYING TO SERVE
SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES. ASIAN
AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR EXAMPLE
IN FRESNO WHO HAS OR THAT ARE
JUST MORE COMMUNITY. THERE'S
ONLY ONE.
SOUTHEAST ASIA ORGANIZATION
FRESNO CENTER FOR DEMOCRATS HAS
ONE ACCREDITED REPRESENTATIVE.
THE SICK COMMUNITY BUT IS ALSO
VERY NUMEROUS IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THERE'S NOR LEGAL
ORGANIZATION SERVING THE SICK
COMMUNITY.
SO MAKING AN IS IT FAIR TO SAY
THAT.
MOST OF THE DETAINEES ARE
MEMBERS OF THE WORK FORCE YES
AND IN OUR REGION THAT HAS THE
HIGHEST DEPENDENCE ON IN YOUR
LIFE.
AMONG OTHER THINGS IN OF THEIR
MANY REPORTS OF ISIS MEMBERS
BEING DETAINED IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY.
NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE TARGETED THE
CENTRAL VALLEY SINCE TWO
THOUSAND. I DON'T RECALL ANY.
ADULT ACTUALLY WITH THAT.
WITH THE THIRTY INDIVIDUALS OR
WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW. EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN THE
FINANCIAL PROVIDERS OF THE HOME.
I'M. AN* MEMBERS OF THE WORK
FORCE WHEN THEY GET A PAYCHECK
THERE'S STATE AND FEDERAL TAXES
WITHHELD FROM THEIR PAYCHECK.
THINKING AND NO FURTHER
QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU AND I GUESS ALSO
SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH STILL
NEVER COLLECT YES.

OVERVIEW AS GROUP AND ALSO THIS
PROPOSAL.
