CHAIR MEMBERS REPRESENT A. B.
EIGHTY SIX WHICH STRENGTHENED
CALIFORNIA'S RESPONSE TO
HOMELESSNESS BY STATUS IN A
STATE WIDE HOMELESS COORDINATOR
AS THE LEAD ENTITY FOR ENDING
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA.
TODAY OVER A HUNDRED SEVENTY
THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCE
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA OF
ROUGHLY 6% INCREASE SINCE TWENTY
TWENTY. THE STATE HAS INVESTED
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO ASSIST
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND SUPPORT
HOUSING PROGRAMS THAT SHELTER ON
HOUSE INDIVIDUALS YET WE
CONTINUE TO HAVE THE NATION'S
LARGEST HOMELESS POPULATION. IN
PART DUE TO THE STATE'S
DISJOINTED APPROACH TO
ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS AND
TWENTY SEVENTEEN TO CALIFORNIA
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON
HOMELESSNESS. OF FORMALLY KNOWN
AS HOMELESS COORDINATING AND
FINANCING COUNCIL WAS
ESTABLISHED TO COORDINATE
FUNDING THE BILL PARTNERSHIPS
WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP
STRATEGIES TO END HOMELESSNESS
THE COUNCIL IS ONE OF MANNY
AGENCIES THAT RECEIVE
INFORMATION ALMOST AS IN THE
STATE. HOWEVER WITH NO REAL ONE
PERSON IN CHARGE TO ENSURE TRUE
ACCOUNTABILITY WE CONTINUE TO BE
WE CONTINUE TO SEE A DISCONNECT.
GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE OF
THE CRISIS IN CALIFORNIA THE
AMOUNT OF FUNDING INVESTED. WE
TRULY NEED A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO
TACK HOMELESSNESS AT BOTH THE
LOCAL LEVELS TO BEGIN. AND IF.
THAT IS WHY. AB EIGHTY SIX THIS
BILL ENSURE ENTERED CORE TO
HOMELESS BY RICK THE GOVERNMENT
APPOINT A STATEWIDE HOMELESS
COORDINATOR THE COORDINATOR WILL
SET BIG GOALS THEN HOMELESSNESS
OVERSEE RELATED PROGRAMS
SERVICES. DATA AND POLICY
BETWEEN FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL
AGENCIES AS WELL AS COORDINATE
THE TIMING OF THE RELEASE OF
STATE FUNDS AND FUNDING
APPLICATIONS FOR HOUSING AND
HOUSING BASED SERVICES. AB
EIGHTY SIX ALLOWS A COORDINATOR
FLEXIBILITY TO ATTEND A FIVE A
LOCAL LEADER AND THE APPROPRIATE
JURISDICTION TO SERVE AS A
LIAISON TO THE STATE LASTLY IN
COURT IN. COLLABORATION WITH
LOCAL LEADERS THE COORDINATOR
WILL PROVIDE ANNUAL
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
MEMBERS WHILE THERE IS
SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP AND A LOT OF
EXISTING RESOURCES MANY TIMES WE
SEE INDIVIDUALS GOING TO
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. AND LOSING
VALUABLE TIME WHEN THEY COULD
HAVE RECEIVED HELP AB EIGHTY SIX
IS ABOUT PUTTING PEOPLE IN
CHARGE THAT PEOPLE CAN LOOK FOR
GUIDANCE. NOT ABOUT CREATING A
NEW BUREAUCRACY. ACCORDING TO
CAN BETTER MANAGE THE SYSTEM AND
BRING ALL STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER.
LASTLY DUE TO THE QUICK
TURNAROUND BETWEEN COMMITTEES I
WAS ABLE TO I WOULD I'M ABLE. TO
TAKE THE AMENDMENT I AGREE TO
AND SENATE HUMAN SERVICES. AT
THE SUGGESTION OF THE SENATOR.

NO ONE ELSE TO SIGNAL THAT THEY
WISH TO SPEAK. THANK YOU MR
MODERATOR AND- HAVING HEARD FROM
ALL OUR WITNESSES AND BOTH IN
SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION WILL NOT
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS. THE
ONLY OTHER ONE HERE- WELL I JUST
WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THIS
BILL I THINK IT'S GREAT TO BE
THINKING ABOUT ONE OF THE
STRUCTURAL CHANGES WE NEED TO
CREATE BETTER ACCOUNTABILITY AND
ACTUAL RESULTS WHEN IT COMES TO
HOMELESSNESS- AND- I WANTED TO
JUST- HIGHLIGHT AND JUST ASK YOU
A QUESTION ABOUT. ONE OF THE
THINGS IS THAT IN THE COMMITTEE
CONSULTANT REPORT WAS THAT THE
CALIFORNIA INTERAGENCY COUNCIL
ON HOMELESSNESS. HAS NO CLEAR
AUTHORITY TO MAKE CHANGES TO
STATE POLICY OR PROGRAMS AND I
THINK THAT IT THAT IS TRUE TRULY
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS- AND SO THE
QUESTION IS WHO DOES HAVE THAT
AUTHORITY AND HOW DO WE MAKE
THEM. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR VISION
FOR THIS POSITION IS THAT THAT
THE THIS PERSON WOULD MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO US. AND WE
WOULD THEN MAKE CHANGES TO
POLICY- AND SO I READING HERE
THERE'S ALSO IDENTIFYING A
LEADER IN EACH CITY OR COUNCIL
COUNTY TO SERVE AS A LIAISON.
AND SO I WANTED TO KNOW IS THAT
PART STILL IN THE BILL AND HOW
DO YOU. HOW DO YOU SEE THAT
RELATIONSHIP WORKING I MEAN
ULTIMATELY WITH THE GOAL OF US
TRYING TO REDUCE HOMELESSNESS
AND SEE THOSE RESULTS ARE
ACTUALLY IN REAL TIME. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION WHAT THE REASON
THIS CAME ABOUT I NOW HAVE SKID
ROW IN MY DISTRICT- PROTECTED
WITH REDISTRICTING. AND WHAT I
NOTICES THERE'S A LOT OF
RESOURCES A LOT OF FUNDING AND A
LOT OF PROGRAMS- WE EVEN SELF.
TAXED OURSELVES IN LA BOTH MY
COUNTY LEVEL AND AT THE CITY
LEVEL- BUT THE NUMBERS. HAVE
BEEN GOING DOWN- SO THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WE TRIED SEVERAL
TIMES BEFORE TO TRY TO PUT
SOMEONE IN CHARGE. AND FOR MY
WILL MY WILL BOSTON IN THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE USED TO SAY
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN
CHARGE. YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMEBODY
TO BLAME FOR SOMEBODY TO GIVE
CREDIT. GET. HAVE SOMEBODY THAT
YOU GOT A FIRE. THE REPLACE OR
YOU GUYS SOMEBODY GIVE CREDIT.
GIVEN RESOURCES THEY CAN DO
MORE- RIGHT NOW BY ASK YOU. IN
YOUR AREA. WHO'S IN CHARGE BUT
THAT. THAT THAT THE COUNCIL OF
THIS OR THIS OR THAT UNDER MIKE
. AREA IS LOSS OF LOS ANGELES-
HOMELESS SERVICES AGENCY WHICH
HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES. BUT
HOMELESSNESS HADN'T GONE DOWN.
OVER DECADES AND ADDRESS YOU WHO
OVER AT LAST IT. IS RESPONSIBLE
YOU COULDN'T TELL ME. THAT'S WHY
DURING COVERT WELL WE HAD
SOMEONE IN IN CHARGE WILL YOU BE
THE POINT OF PEOPLE BEAT UP ON
PORK. DOCTOR FOR. WOULD GUESS WE
ARE NOW FROM IT FROM THERE TO
NOW AND THEN HAD CORPS. IN THE
COUNTY THAT WILL REALLY PUBLIC.
FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT I'M LOOKING AT IT THE
SAME WAY GOING TO THE PUBLIC
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE
COUNTY. AND HOPEFULLY APPOINTING
SOMEONE THEY LOOK AT HOME WITH
THIS AS A THE PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS THAT WE CAN. WE CAN LOOK
AT AND SO FROM THE GOVERNOR. ON
DOWN TO SOMEBODY AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL IN WORKING WITH THE
COUNTIES AND THE CITIES TO BE
ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOMEBODY THAT
THEY CAN NOW POINT TO IT
WOULDN'T. PULL ALL THE RESOURCES
LEE WHAT CARE BASS IS DONE SO
FAR THIS TICKET BULL BY THE
HORNS WHAT IT ACTUALLY.
SOMETHING YOU CAN SEE THINGS
STARTING TO CHANGE IMMENSELY
RIGHT NOW. YES WELL GOOD WELL
THANK YOU AND I MIGHT JUST I
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU YOU
NEED SOMEONE IN CHARGE AND I
MIGHT SUGGEST THAT WE NEED
SOMEONE IN CHARGE WITH THE
AUTHORITY TO BOTH BUILD THE
MENTAL HEALTH BEDS AND BUILD THE
ACTUAL HOMELESS SERVING HOUSING.
BECAUSE HAVING SOMEONE IN CHARGE
WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE LAND USE
AUTHORITY. THIS IS REALLY THE
ROB. SO I THINK IT IS IT'S VERY
CUT COMPLEX AND I'M GLAD THEY'RE
WORKING ON IT AND TAKING THE
BULL BY THE HORNS YOURSELF. BUT
I'M HAPPY TO MOVE YOUR BILL.
THANK YOU THANK YOU APPRECIATE
THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND
SO. OF SENATOR PLEASE HERE.
THANK YOU SO I WOULD LIKE TO
CLOSE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
SO MADAM SECRETARY WORK IN A-
PLACE THAT. FAILED WOULD HAVE A

AVAILABLE. I HAVE ANOTHER MURRAY
. SORRY I'M GREASE DALE TRYING

PER. I AM THEN I DO WANNA SAY
THANK YOU MUCH FOR. A KNOWLEDGE
IN. AND THE MEMBER THAT WE HAD
JUST. PREVIOUS AND MOVING
FORWARD ON. EXAM WAS GONNA BE MY
. MY FOLLOW UP RESEARCH. I THINK
YOUR ADDRESSING IT WILL- MY NEXT
BILL IS AB. TO FOUR TO SURPLUS
LAND- AB. SEVENTEEN THIRTY FOUR
AND- THE SURPLUS LAND TO NAY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. COULD OF
PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTIES TO THE
MUCH AMER. AND SUPPORT. I WOULD
LIKE TO A MOMENT THANK HIM STAFF
FOR WITH MY- ON BILL I WILL BE
X. THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS
NARROW. TO HOUSING EXEMPTION AND
ALSO REFLECT THE AGREEMENT MADE
IN THE PREVIOUS COMMITTEE TO
RECOUP TO REMOVE PRO HOUSING
DESIGNATION. AS WE ALL KNOW
CALIFORNIA HAS THE NATION'S
LARGEST AND HOUSE POPULATION YET
ONLY A FRACTION OF THE NEW
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
CONSTRUCTED. LIKE MOST OF THE
STATE THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES CA
PARENTS IN A HOUSING CRISIS IN
TWENTY NINETEEN LA HAVE A HIGHER
PERCENTAGE OF COST BURDENED
RENTER HOUSEHOLDS. THAN ANY
OTHER AMERICAN CITY REALLY SIXTY
PERCENT. LOOK JUST LAST YEAR
THERE WERE NEARLY FORTY TWO
THOUSAND AND HOUSE INDIVIDUALS
IN LOS ANGELES ALONE. FENCE
ASSEMBLY OFFICE LA MAYOR KAREN
BASS HAS TAKEN CRITICAL STEPS TO
ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS AND
EXPEDITE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PRODUCTION. UNDER HER LEADERSHIP
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES DECLARED
A STATE OF EMERGENCY ON
HOMELESSNESS AND MOVED TO
STREAMLINING APPROVALS. 5100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT AS
WELL AS MAXIMIZING THE USE OF
CITY OWNED PROPERTY. FOR
TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT HOUSING.
UNFORTUNATELY THE SURPLUS LAND
BACK HAS PROVEN TO BE A BARRIER
TO UTILIZING PUBLICLY OWNED
PROPERTY FOR HOMELESSNESS
RELIEF. DESPITE CURRENT LAW
PROVIDING FROM EXEMPTION FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
NEGOTIATING DEALS THAT MEET SLA
REQUIREMENTS OFTEN PROLONG THE
PROCESS. AND IN THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES THE PROJECT RARELY COME
TO FRUITION. I WAS DIRECTOR REAL
ESTATE FOR THE SUICIDE NOTE.
INTIMATELY HELLO IT TAKES. WHY
BURDENSOME AND WHY- LOOK IF WE
CAN CUT OUT. THE LAN COUGH. WE
GET EXPERT. EXPO THE BILL INTO
GO AHEAD AND BUILD. WITHOUT OWN
PROPERTIES I THINK WHAT WE CAN
DO IS JUST TAKE OUT THOSE TWO
THERE WE COULD WE COULD EXPEDITE
GETTING HOME LOG BUILDING
HOUSING IN WAYS THAT WE NEVER
DID BEFORE. AS SUCH AB SEVENTEEN
THIRTY FOUR IMMENSELY SLA TO
ALLOW PRO HOUSING JURISDICTIONS
THAT HAVE DECLARED A LOCAL
EMERGENCY HOMELESSNESS ARE
COMPLIANT WITH STATE HOUSING LAW
MORE QUICKLY DISPOSE OF PUBLICLY
OWNED PROPERTY TO DEVELOP
EMERGENCY SHELTERS AND
TRANSITIONAL SUPPORTIVE OR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. UNDER THIS
BILL LOCAL AGENCIES WHO MEET THE
CRITERIA COULD DISPOSE OF
SURPLUS LAND FOR THESE PURPOSES
IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS. HALF
THE TIME IT CAN TAKE TODAY. AB
SEVENTEEN THIRTY FOUR WILL POWER
GOOD ACTORS LIKE THE THREE LOS

FOR THIS BILL AND AS WE'VE
SHARED- THIS SURPLUS LAND ACT
ALTHOUGH INTENDED FOR THIS USE.
DOES ADD QUITE A BIT OF TIME FOR
CITIES ARE TRYING TO USE THEIR
PROPERTIES FOR THE INTENDED
YEARS. IN RECENT YEARS THE CITY
OF LOS ANGELES HAS MADE STRIDES
IN GETTING MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

PROJECTS MORE THAN SIX HUNDRED
UNITS ARE OPEN AND OPERATING ON
CITY OWNED LAND. AND OTHER

YOU MADAM CHAIR FOR THOSE WHO
WISH TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OR

PRESS ONE THEN ZERO AT THIS TIME
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO. IT APPEARS
THAT WE HAVE KNOWN WHO SIGNALED
THAT THEY WISH TO SPEAK THANK
YOU MR MODERATOR NOW OVER YOU
WILL NOW BRING THE DISCUSSION
BACK TO REMEMBERS. THANKS HELLO
SO MANY PEOPLE. WELL THANK YOU
AGAIN ALSO FOR THIS BILL AND I
YOUR BACKGROUND HAVING DONE THIS
FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
REALLY OPPOSITIONS YOU WELL TO
BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH REALLY
IMPORTANT SOLUTIONS. IT'S REALLY
TOO BAD THAT THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT IS A DETERRENT TO US
ACTUALLY CREATING HOUSING AND
PARTICULARLY HOMELESS SERVING
HOUSING BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S
SUCH AN URGENT PROBLEM AND I
THINK THAT'S WHY THE SURPLUS
LAND ACT WAS PASSED IN THE FIRST
PLACE. SO I IT YOU KNOW I THINK
THAT'S UNFORTUNATE BUT I VERY
MUCH SUPPORT THIS EXEMPTION- I
JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR THE
RECORD THAT ONE OF THE NOTES
THAT IS MADE HERE IN THE-
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT REPORT. IS
THAT IT SAYS THIS BILL EXEMPTS
CERTAIN HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS
PROJECTS FROM THE SLA INCLUDING
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING WHICH IS
GENERALLY A HOUSING TYPE IS NO
LONGER FUNDED BY FEDERAL AND
STATE PROGRAMS. THE COMMITTEE
MAY WISH TO CONSIDER NARROWING
THE FOCUS OF THE EXEMPTION FOR
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING TO PROJECTS
SERVING TRANSITION AGE YOUTH. OR
INSTEAD INCLUDING EXEMPTION FOR
LOW BARRIER NAVIGATION CENTERS
ARE BOTH. AND I'LL JUST SAY FROM
MY PERSPECTIVE AS ONE COMMITTEE
MEMBER I'M NOT INTERESTED IN
NARROWING THE EXEMPTION. SO THE
FACT THAT THIS TRANSITIONAL
HOUSING IS NO LONGER- ELIGIBLE
FOR FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE CITY OF LA
OR ANOTHER CITY MIGHT NOT WANT
TO DO IT ANYWAY. SO THIS YOU
KNOW CITIES CAN USE DIFFERENT
FUNDING STREAMS AND OUR OWN
BOND- THEIR OWN THEIR THEIR OWN
REVENUE STREAMS TO PROVIDE THE
HOUSING THAT THEY NEED. SO I
JUST WANTED TO SAY FOR THE
RECORD THAT I DON'T I DON'T
SUPPORT M. NARROWING THE
EXEMPTION BUT IF. THE AUTHOR
WANTED TO EXPAND THE EXEMPTION
FOR LOBERA NAVIGATION CENTERS I
WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT. THAT
EXTRA IF YOU WANTED TO DO THAT I
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EXPRESS
THAT. DO YOU HAVE ANY DO YOU
HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THAT SOME
OF THE- THE NARROWING AND CAME
FROM COMMITTEE. AND SO WE GO
BACK TO COMMITTEE WITH AS IT
GOES. BUT WITH THE NEXT.
APPROACHED IT IF ANY TWEAK WE
CAN DO. OBVIOUSLY WE CAN TALK
TO. A REPROACH TO MAKE THE
APPROACH THING BUT- THE LAW OF
THE CITY. CAME FROM. SENATE
COMMITTEES AND- HOW CAN
COMMITTEES OF DIFFERENT ONE SO
LET ME LET ME GO BACK AND TALK
TO THEM ABOUT THAT. RIGHT THAT
THE YES AND THERE'S NO NEED TO
DO ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T NEED TO
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
I EXPRESS THAT ABOUT. YEAH AND I
RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING SO I
WILL DOUBLE CHECK. GREAT TO.
JUST IS LAURIE. NOTE I'M-
BUSINESS OKAY. AND MA'AM. AND
JONES ARE JUST A QUICK. IS THIS
BILL NOW AS IT STANDS. I'M
LIMITED TO THE TWENTY EIGHT PRO
HOUSING JURISDICTION. I BELIEVE
IT IS- WE DID TAKE IT OUT. I
BETH ONE OF ONE OF THE GROUP TO
TAKE OUT. OKAY THE LAST MINUTE.
ACTUALLY THAT'S A GOOD THING
RIGHT BECAUSE NOW WE'RE
EXPANDING IT TO OTHER. OTHER
JURISDICTIONS THAT'S ACTUALLY A
GOOD THING YES I THINK THAT'S
ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
PREVIOUS COMMITTEE WANTED. OKAY
AND WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT FOR
THE MEMBER I CAN'T REMEMBER
SHE'S FROM BUT WE'RE GONNA DO
THAT FOR THE SENATOR. WESTWARD
ALL RIGHT PERFECT. M. WELL THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE NUMBER JONES RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- AND WILL. CONTINUE TO
KEEP THAT ON A ROLL CALL AT ONCE
WE ESTABLISH RUN THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU THANK YOU.
THEY SEE WE HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
TEAM HERE. WELCOME. AND YOU WILL
BE PRESENTING WOULD YOU CARE TO.
START WITH ITEM NUMBER SEVEN
EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY YES THANK YOU
. SO AB FORTY ALSO DOES WITH
SERVICE THE SURPLUS LAND
SACKETT. BILL CLARIFIES AND
STRENGTHENS THE- SURPLUS LINES
SECTOR CLOSER TO FORSMAN DO
POLLS FOR LAMPETER LEASED THE
LANDS ARE SOLD FOR LESS THAN
MARKET VALUE. IT ALSO CREATES A
MINISTERIAL PROCESS FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO DISPOSE OF
CERTAIN TYPES OF EXEMPT SURPLUS
LAND TO STREAMLINE DECORATIONS
OF THESE TYPES OF PLANS IT ALSO.
CREATES A NEW EXEMPTION FOR
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
THAT TOTAL MORE THAN TEN ACRES
AND ARE MADE UP OF TWO OR MORE
ADJACENT AND KNOWLEDGES AND
PARCELS. THE EXEMPTION REQUIRES
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
TO BUILD THREE HUNDRED WETZEL'S
RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR THE
EQUIVALENT OF TEN RESIDENTIAL
UNITS PER ACRE WHICHEVER IS
GREATER THE EXEMPTION ALSO
INCLUDES A CAP AT TEN THOUSAND
ACRES- AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE
REASON WE TOOK THESE IS. ALSO
JUST FURTHER CLARIFYING THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LANDS THAT
ARE. BEING DECLARED SURPLUS BEEN
A NUMBER JURISDICTIONS AFTER I
DID MY PREVIOUS BILL NUMBER
YEARS AGO ASKED FOR A CLEANUP
LANGUAGE AND SO WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH A NUMBER. OF
DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE
THAT THE SURPLUS LANDS THAT
CONTINUES TO BE A TOOL TO BUILD
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT THE
SAME TIME DOESN'T STYMIED LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WHO. WANT TO BUILD
HOUSING BUT ALSO ARE LOOKING TO
DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE TOOK
AMENDMENTS IN THE SENATE COVERED
FIVE. AT THAT ADDRESS MANY OF
THE OPPOSITION CONCERNS SO. I
WILL STOP THERE I KNOW. WE HAVE
TO- WITNESSES. A GOOD AFTERNOON.
REMEMBERS MY NAME IS JUDY H. MAC
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF.
NONPROFIT HOUSING ASSOCIATION OF
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND PHD
PROUD CO SPONSOR OF THIS BILL-
AS WE SAID A BEFORE ANY UPDATES
TO SURPLUS LAND ACT AND NPH HAS
BEEN CLOSELY INVOLVED WITH THE
HISTORY OF SURPLUS LAND ACT
PASSED. BECAUSE OF HOW IMPORTANT
THIS TOOL IS TO OUR MEMBERS- IN
ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
CRISIS. SINCE JANUARY TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THE CITY HAS TRACKED
OR SURPLUS LAND TRANSACTIONS AND
FOUND THAT IN THE OVER TWO
HUNDRED. S. LATEST POSITIONS. AT
THE JURISDICTION PURSUE THE
OPTION OF HOUSING. JUST 11% OF
THE TIME. AND 89% OF THE TIME-
THEY'VE PURSUED OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES WITH THEIR LAND
BUT THAT 11% HAS YIELDED OVER
EIGHT THOUSAND HOUSING UNITS.
NEARLY SIX THOUSAND OF THOSE
WORK FOR DOUBLE THOUSANDS MORE
ARE IN THE PIPELINE. YES LEASE
EFFECTIVE AT GIVING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPERS A GOOD CHANCE
TO BUILD HOUSING ON PUBLIC LAND
AND ENSURE THAT THAT PUBLIC LAND
CONTINUES TO SERVE. THE PUBLIC
GOOD. EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY MAKES
SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES HERE AS
THE AUTHOR IS ALREADY MENTIONED
WE ARE ENCOURAGED BY THEM WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT THEM BECAUSE WE
FEEL THAT THEY WILL. SOMEWHAT
STEM THE TIDE OF THE SLOUGH
EVENTUALLY BILLS THAT YOU ALL
HAVE HEARD- THIS YEAR WE THINK
THAT THE LARGE SIDE EXEMPTION
WOULD PROVIDE A PATH FORWARD FOR
JURISDICTIONS TO ADDRESS. WHAT
THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH THEIR
LARGE SITES WE THINK THAT THE-
ADMINISTRATIVE DECLARATIONS WILL
BE HELPFUL IN MAKING IT EASIER
TO COMPLY. FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THANK YOU. GOOD

DO FIND THAT THEY KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE DOING AND THAT THEY'RE
EFFECTIVE AT ACCOMPLISHING THE
GOALS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
ASSIGNED TO DO- I HAVE LESS
INTERACTION WITH CAL I. CH. BUT
I JUST I THINK IT MAKES A LOT OF
SENSE TO STREAMLINE AND ALSO TO.
REDUCE REDUNDANCIES AND TO
CENTER ALL THESE THINGS IN ONE
AGENCY AND. WELL WHY YOU THINK
OR WHAT YOU THINK THAT WILL
SPECIFICALLY DO TO MAKE IT
EASIER FOR US TO CREATE HOMELESS
SERVING HOUSING YEAH- WHAT ONE
OF THE CHALLENGES WITH- HAPPY.
GRANT PROGRAMS TO QUITE A BIT OF
TIME TO GET THE MONEY OUT THE
DOOR EVEN AFTER APPROPRIATIONS-
THE LAST ROUND TOOK TWENTY
MONTHS- AND THAT'S TWENTY MONTHS
WITH A VERY SIMPLE FORMULA
MEANING THAT. THE MONEY I WOULD
BUY FORMULA THE WORD GRANTS THE
ONE APPLICATIONS- THERE THE
JURISDICTIONS NEED TO SUBMIT THE
PAPERWORK BUT IN GENERAL IS
GOING UP BY FORMULA. SO IT JUST
TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO GET THE
MONEY OUT THE DOOR ESPECIALLY
FOR SOMETHING THAT'S AN
EMERGENCY- WE HOPE THAT MOVING
MORE FOR GRANT MAKING OPERATION
UNDER A CD SINCE THEY HAVE MORE.
EXPERIENCE WITH IT WILL MAKE IT
A FASTER PROCESS- THE
COORDINATING COUNCIL WILL RETAIN
EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS STILL
CONTINUE TO COORDINATE. BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE HOMELESSNESS
SERVICES NOT JUST IN H. C. D. N.
YOU KNOW HSA ALL THROUGHOUT THE-
ADMINISTRATION AND SO THEY CAN
COORDINATE. ALL THE VARIETY OF
HOMELESSNESS PROGRAMS AND OTHER
AGENCIES BUT A CD FOR THIS

THE METRICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER REYES A GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTEEN
ZERO EIGHT PROHIBITS NEW MINIMUM
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
REMODELING UPDATING OR ADDING TO
A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AS
LONG AS IT STAYS WITHIN THE
FLOOR AREA RATIO RESTRICTIONS SO
I KIND OF WANT TO UNDERSCORE
THAT. MUCH BECAUSE I THINK
THERE'S BEEN SOME THOUGHT THAT
THIS WOULD BE ALL CONSTRUCTION.
CURRENT REGULATIONS FORCE
HOMEOWNERS TO ADD TO COVERED
PARKING SPACES FOR ANY REMODEL
OR ADD ON YOU KNOW EVEN IF THEY
DO NOT OWN ADDITIONAL CARS WHICH
CAN COST UP TO TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ALSO USE
VALUABLE LAND SPACE THIS CREATES
AN IN EQUITY FOR HOMEOWNERS
SEEKING TO MAKE ADDITIONS THAT
DO NOT INCREASE PARKING DEMAND.
AS YOU KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
A NEW A. D. YOU LAWS AND THOSE
LAWS DO NOT ACTUALLY REQUIRED
THESE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES
AB THIRTEEN ZERO EIGHT IS NOT
ABOUT BUILDING NEW HOUSING
WITHOUT PARKING IT SIMPLY SAYS
THAT IF A HOMEOWNER ADDS A ROOM
TO THEIR SINGLE FAMILY. HOME THE
CITY CANNOT COMPEL THEM TO BUILD
A NEW GARAGE. AND AS WE KNOW.
SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A LITTLE
REFRESH THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE
WANTING TO DO WE ALL LOVE TO
WATCH HD TV WITH ALL OF THOSE
FIXER UPPERS AND MOST OF THE
TIME- THEY'RE NOT ADDING.
ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE
HOUSE IT'S JUST CHANGING THINGS
WITHIN THE HOUSE- IN ORDER TO
ADD IN UNDER THREE HUNDRED
SQUARE FOOT BATHROOM TO A HOME.
THERE ARE SOME CITIES WHO ARE
NOW REQUIRING MORE PARKING. THIS
IS BURDENSOME OVER REACHING AND
THIS BILL WOULD FIX THAT AB
THIRTEEN ZERO EIGHT SIMPLY GIVES
HOMEOWNERS THE FLEXIBILITY TO
DECIDE THEIR PARKING NEEDS AND
AFFORDABILITY AND SAID OF
REQUIRING THEM TO COMPLY WITH
THE ONE. SIZE FITS ALL. WITH
THAT I ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'M SORRY WE
DO HAVE A WITNESS I'M SORRY WITH
ME HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT

ORGANIZATION. OF OVER EIGHTY
THOUSAND NEIGHBORS THAT THEY CAN
THANK HER STATE OF MORE
AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE. AS WE
ALL KNOW AND THIS COMMITTEE WE
ARE FACING A SHORTAGE OF HOUSING
. A RECENT TWENTY TWENTY ONE
REPORT BY THE TURNER CENTER.
HIGHLIGHTED THE 94% OF
JURISDICTIONS REQUIRE AT A
MINIMUM TO PARKING SPACE FOR
EVERY THREE BEDROOM HOME WITH A
PERCENT REQUIRING MORE THAN
THREE PARKING SPACES. IN FACT
SOME OF THE CITIES SUCH AS
CUPERTINO COSTA MESSA HUNTINGTON
BEACH ACTUALLY REQUIRE FOR
PARKING SPACES THE REALITY IS
THAT TRANSLATES TO MORE LAND
MORE EXPENSE AND THAT IS WHAT
KIND OF ONE OF THE POSITIONS
THAT CREATES. THE AFFORDABILITY
ISSUE WE'RE HAVING SO WE'RE
REALLY EXCITED TO SUPPORT THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION I DON'T
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR FOR
ENSURING THAT. HE'S WORKING ON
TRYING TO REDUCE THE BARRIERS

YOU. I SUPPORT THIS BILL- THAT I
WANTED TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING IT I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT IT RECOGNIZES IS
THAT AS WE ARE NEEDING TO
PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE TO LIVE INSIDE. HAVING
HOMES EXPAND ADDING A BEDROOM
REMODELING SO THAT MORE PEOPLE
CAN LIVE IN THE HOME- IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT WAY FOR US TO
PROVIDE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
AND ALREADY EXISTING HOMES SO-
THE VARIOUS WAYS THAT CITIES CAN
PROHIBIT HAVING MORE PEOPLE LIVE
IN THEIR CITIES I THINK- IS
PROBLEMATIC AND SO THIS REALLY
GETS AT THAT AND I APPRECIATE
YOU FERRETING OUT THE SPECIFIC
VERY SPECIFIC WAY THAT. WE CAN
HELP OUR EXISTING HOMES PROVIDE
MORE HOMES FOR MORE PEOPLE SO I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND- ANY OTHER

HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES WHO
QUALIFY FOR THEM. IN CALIFORNIA
APPROXIMATELY. SIXTEEN THOUSAND
EIGHT HUNDRED FEDERAL HOUSING
VOUCHERS GO UNUSED ANNUALLY.
VOUCHER RECIPIENTS FACE
SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS TO USING
THEIR VOUCHERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
TROUBLE COMPETING IN THE STATE'S
COMPETITIVE RENTAL HOUSING
MARKET MANY PEOPLE WAIT YEARS ON
A VOUCHER WAIT LIST ONLY TO FIND
THEY CANNOT SECURE AN APARTMENT
WITHIN THE ALLOTTED. SEARCH TIME
FOR FAILURE TO UTILIZE VOUCHERS
OCCURS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS
REASONS THE STATE CAN DO MORE TO
LEVERAGE FEDERAL DOLLARS AND
CLOSE THE GAP IN UNUSED VOUCHERS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. AB SIX FIVE
THREE WOULD CREATE A PROGRAM TO
PROVIDE HOUSING SEARCH
ASSISTANCE LANDLORD INCENTIVES
AND DEPOSIT RESOURCES TO HELP
TENANTS WITH VOUCHERS FIND AND
SECURE RENTAL UNITS. THE BILL
WOULD ALSO REQUIRE ALL HOUSING
AUTHORITIES TO REPORT THEIR
MONTHLY SUCCESS RATES TO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ON A
QUARTERLY BASIS. HOUSING
AUTHORITIES WITH LOW SUCCESS
RATES WOULD BE REQUIRED TO APPLY
EVIDENCE BASED TOOLS TO INCREASE
VOUCHER UTILIZATION AND TO WORK

GOOD AFTERNOON- MY NAME IS MARK
OF LANDS AND I'M COMING FROM SAN
DIEGO I'M A SENIOR LEADER OF
RESIDENT UNITED NETWORK SINCE
TWO THOUSAND NINE- IN TWO
THOUSAND NINE WHEN I SECURE THE
APARTMENT. I APPLIED ALSO FOR
SECTION EIGHT I HAD TO WAIT
FOURTEEN YEARS. JUST TO RECEIVE
A VOUCHER. I THOUGHT WHEN THEY I
GOT THE CALL THANK GOODNESS THIS
IS GOING TO HELP ME. I WENT- AND
MIND YOU THIS IS DURING GOAL OF
IT SO IT'S HARDER EVEN MEN AND
MADE MY OBSTACLES WORSE. BECAUSE
I CAUGHT COLLUDED. I HAD TO I
HAD NINETY DAYS TO SECURE PLACE
OR I WOULD LOSE MY VOUCHER. SO
DURING CALL THAT I HAD A HUNDRED
AND FOUR FEVER I WAS VERY ILL I
WAS LOOKING AROUND I GOT HIT
WITH PREJUDICE. I GOT- WERE WERE
NOT ACCEPTING SECTION EIGHT
WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING ANYTHING I
SEARCHED DILIGENTLY BECAUSE TIME
WAS TICKING. I GOT MY VOUCHER
GEN THE SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY
AND- AS SOON AS MY PACKET WAS
TURNED OVER TO ME THE CLOCK
STARTED TICKING IT DIDN'T WAIT
FOR ME WHEN I WAS ILL AND HAD TO
GO TO THE HOSPITAL IT IN A WAY
FOR ME. TO NOT HAVE
TRANSPORTATION AND THE LOOK
AROUND AND GET HIT WITH
PREJUDICE AND HAVE DOORS CLOSED
IN MY FACE. AND JUST NO
ACCEPTANCE OF THE VOUCHER DUE TO
THE STIGMATISING THAT COMES WITH
IT. I DID NOT LET GRASS GROW
UNDER MY FEET I. USE THE
INTERNET I WALKED DOOR TO DOOR I
WANT AND I USE THE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION AND YET TO NO
AVAIL. WHEN FEBRUARY CAME I
THOUGHT I HAD TIME MARCH CAME. I
DIDN'T HAVE TIME SO I HAD TO
CALL FOR AN EXTENSION THEY SAID
OKAY MARVEL YOU HAVE ANOTHER
THIRTY DAYS TO FIND SOMETHING
THAT SECURE PLACE MIND YOU THIS
IS DURING COVERT. NOTHING WAS
AVAILABLE SO CAN YOU JUST
IMAGINE WITHOUT A PANDEMIC WHAT
WOULD HAPPEN IT WAS WORSE- I.
WAITED AND THEN I IN TWO WEEKS
BEFORE- MY- VOUCHER EXPIRED- I
TURNED IN MY PAPERWORK I DID
EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUIRED OF
ME AND I HAD DIGITAL I WAS JUST.
WORKING LIKE A BUSY BE GETTING
MY PAPERWORK DONE AND ALL THE
NECESSARY THINGS THAT I NEEDED

SECTION EIGHT IS THE LARGEST
FEDERALLY ASSISTED HOUSING
PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA THAT
HELPS OVER SEVEN HUNDRED TEN
THOUSAND PEOPLE. IN THREE
HUNDRED FOUR THOUSAND HOUSEHOLDS
LIVE IN SAFE AND DECENT HOME.
ACTORS ARE CRITICAL TO ORDER
REDUCE RACIAL SEGREGATION
BECAUSE THEY OPEN UP
NEIGHBORHOODS OTHERWISE
UNAVAILABLE TO LOW INCOME
FAMILIES. FACTORED TO
CONCENTRATE POVERTY AND HELP
JURISDICTIONS MEET THEIR FAIR
HOUSING GOALS. AND VOUCHERS ARE
A KEY STRATEGY TO REDUCING
HOMELESSNESS STATEWIDE. HOWEVER
ONLY ONE IN FIVE FAMILIES WHO
QUALIFY WILL RECEIVE A FEDERAL
VOUCHER OR ANY HOUSING SUBSIDY
EVEN THEN ONCE THE FAMILY
RECEIVES A VOUCHER. THEY MUST
FIND A LANDLORD WILLING TO
ACCEPT IT WITHIN THE SEARCH TIME
ALLOWED BY THE LOCAL HOUSING
AUTHORITY. AND IS MARGO STORY
ILLUSTRATES THIS IS NO SMALL
TASK. FACTORS LIKE LOW VACANCY
RATES AND HIGH RENTS CAN MAKE IT
LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME
THAT THAT FAMILIES TO USE THEIR
VOUCHERS AND IN FACT AN
ESTIMATED FOUR OUT OF TEN
FAMILIES. RECEIVE A VOUCHER IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK
LIKE MARGOT BECAUSE THEY ARE
UNABLE TO USE IT. NEEDS FAMILIES
OFTEN RETURN TO SUBSTANDARD

PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES FROM
A NUMBER OF OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AS- AS YOU MAY KNOW
WE HAVE. OVER ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY HOUSING AUTHORITIES IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA- WHEN WE
HEARD THE OPPOSITION WE WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE REALLY
WAS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE
REPORTING. MANY FEEL THAT THE
REPORTING IS GOING TO BE
DUPLICATIVE THAT THEY'RE ALREADY
PROVIDING THIS REPORTING TO
HARD. SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIND
WE'VE OFFERED SOME AMENDMENTS WE
HAVEN'T HEARD BACK ON. USING THE
VERY SAME REPORTING THAT THERE
PROVIDE PROVIDING TO HIDE THE
ISSUE IS THAT WE HAVE SIXTEEN
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED VOUCHERS
OF THE GO UNUSED WE'VE GOT TO
FIND A BETTER WAY OF IT AND TO
SOME OF OUR HOUSING AUTHORITIES
ARE DOING MAGNIFICENT WORK. AND
DO THEY HAVE A GREAT SUCCESS
RATE BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WE NEED TO FIND
BETTER PRACTICES SO THAT WE USE
ALL OF THESE VOUCHERS. THE
VOUCHERS ARE GOING USED ARE THEN
THAT'S USED AS PART OF THE
EVALUATION IS DONE BY HUD TO THE
FOLLOWING YEAR- YOU DON'T NEED
THOSE TWENTY THOUSAND OR THEIR
SIXTEEN. SIXTEEN THOUSAND WEEK
WE CAN USE THOSE TO LEVERAGE
FURTHER FUNDING FROM THE FEDS
AND I THINK THAT IN THE END IT'S
A WIN WIN FOR ALL OF US. BUT AT
THE WORK THAT OUR HOUSING
AUTHORITIES ARE DOING IS
MAGNIFICENT WE JUST HAVE TO FIND
A THOSE WERE REALLY DOING THE
GREAT WORK. AND LEARN FROM THEM
SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THE
INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE
STRUGGLING. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE
SOME WHO ARE STRUGGLING WHEN YOU
HAVE LIKE OUR WITNESS WHEN SHE
TALKS ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE
WENT. THERE IF YOU HAD A
SPECIFIED PERIOD THE SHE HAD TO
FIND HER HOUSING AND WAS UNABLE
TO DO IT YOU GOT AN EXTENSION
SHE STILL WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE
HOUSING. WE HAVE IF TO FIND A
BETTER WAY. THEY WAIT LONG TO
GET THAT VOUCHER WE'VE GOT TO
MAKE SURE WE CAN FIND WAYS TO
GET THEM INTO A HOME. YES I MEAN
I JUST WANT TO. RE WITH YOU THAT
THE IT'S A CRITICAL PROBLEM THAT
SIXTEEN THOUSAND OR MORE
VOUCHERS ARE GOING ON USED AND-
WE KNOW THAT THIS VOUCHER
PROGRAM IS THE LARGEST RENTAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY. SO WE ARE LEAVING MONEY
ON THE TABLE AND WE HAVE A
HOMELESSNESS EPIDEMIC AND WE
NEED. TO NOT HAVE THE
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEAD WITNESS
WHO. WHO YOU KNOW THAT
EXPERIENCE BEING IS NOT IS NOT
UNIQUE TO HER A LOT OF PEOPLE OF
EXPERIENCE THAT AND IT'S REALLY.
A TRAGEDY THAT'S PREVENTABLE SO
I THINK IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
IS CLEAR THAT THAT QUESTION OF
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION. THAT THAT
CAN MAKE IT SO THAT. ARE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ALREADY
DOING THIS REALLY DIFFICULT WORK
IN THE COMMUNITY ARE ABLE TO
KEEP BEING SUCCESSFUL DOING IT
OR NOT- OVERLY BURDENED WITH
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND-
DUPLICATIVE. REQUIREMENTS YOU
KNOW THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TOO. SO I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO
REALLY WORK WITH WITH THE
OPPONENTS TO TRY TO FIND. THAT
SOLUTION BECAUSE I THINK
EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE US TO. NOT
LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS
. SO I ACTUALLY AM. I'M HERE
ISN'T AND PERHAPS ONE OF THE
LEAD WITNESSES WILL BE REDUCED
TO THEM. TO ADDRESS MY QUESTION
SO. M. COMING FROM REAL ESTATE-
PRIOR TO COMING TO THE SENATE I
KNOW THAT AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE IN
CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE. IN THE
RENTAL MARKET. IS THE FACT THAT
WE DON'T HAVE INVENTORY. I'M
SOME KIND OF CURIOUS AND I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
UNINTENDED LEE- APPROACHING THE
SITUATION IN A WAY THAT IS
ACTUALLY NOT ADDRESSING THE ROOT
OF THE PROBLEM WHICH IS
AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING- AND THE
REASON WHY. WE DON'T HAVE- AN
OPPORTUNITY TO USE THESE
VOUCHERS NOT NECESSARILY THAT
THE AGENCIES ARE NOT DOING THEIR
JOB. BUT THE FACT THAT WE DON'T
HAVE THE INVENTORY TO PLACE
PEOPLE IN THERE AND PERHAPS WE
NEED TO REASSESS. WHETHER OR NOT
AND- THE DID THE WAY THAT WE
ARE. GIVING A TIME CONSTRAINT TO
BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT THE
VOUCHER. DOESN'T CONTRADICT A
FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE
HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR THEM SO
I'M GONNA GIVE. AN AVERAGE INTER
OR THE MINISTRY TO ADDRESS THE
QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT. WHAT IS
AND I'M SURE WITH ALL THE
INFORMATION IN THE DATA THAT YOU
FOLKS GATHER THERE HAS TO BE ONE
OF THE TOP REASONS WHY WE ARE
NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE DOCTORS
FIRST. QUESTION THANK YOU AND
YOU KNOW WE CONSIDER THIS FELT
PART OF A- COMPREHENSIVE
SOLUTION TO A VERY COMPLEX
PROBLEM THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THE
FACTORS YOU'RE DESCRIBING WE DO
HAVE AN INVENTORY PROBLEM HERE.
THE US OF A THE PROBLEM WITH
ESCALATING RENTS WHICH IS ONE OF
THE SPECIFIC ISSUES THAT THIS
BILL IS REALLY GETTING AT. WE
ARE. WE ARE TRYING TO HELP
VOUCHER FAMILIES BE AS
COMPETITIVE AS OTHER HOUSING
APPLICANTS IN THE PRIVATE RENTAL
MARKET. I'M IN YOU KNOW BUT
AGAIN RECOGNIZING THAT THIS IS
REALLY ONE PIECE OF A REALLY
COMPLICATED PUZZLE SO FOR
EXAMPLE- YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT
OF DISCRIMINATION IS MARKET
DESCRIBED WITH A NO AGAINST
PEOPLE WITH VOUCHERS THERE'S A
LOT OF STIGMA. SO WE YOU KNOW WE
WORKED WITH ALL OF YOU TO PASS A
ANTI DISCRIMINATION LAW FOR
ABOUT HER TENANTS. SO ALSO PART
OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION A
SOLUTION IS ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE
ANTI DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS
FOR FAMILIES SO THAT AGAIN WE
ARE MAKING THEM. MORE
COMPETITIVE SO THAT THEY CAN
ACTUALLY GO INTO THE PRIVATE
RENTAL MARKET AND OBTAIN HOUSING
BUT CERTAINLY VACANCY RATES PLAY
A LARGE ISSUE IN THIS PROBLEM.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNITS
AVAILABLE TO VOUCHER TENANTS
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW. WE HEAR FROM
TENANTS AND ADVOCATES IN THE
FIELD IS THAT THE PAYMENT
STANDARD WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY
THE SUBSIDY AMOUNT. IS THAT IT'S
REALLY LOW AND SO. IT DOESN'T
MATTER. EITHER THE REST OF THE
POLICIES DON'T MATTER IF YOUR
SUBSIDY IF YOU CAN'T. RENT AN
APARTMENT AT THAT AT AN AVERAGE
RENT LEVEL YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO COMPETE YOUR VIEW ARE LOCKED
OUT OF HUGE PORTIONS OF THE
RENTAL MARKET AND SO THAT'S ONE
OF THE ISSUES REALLY GETTING AT.
HERE SO IT'S YOU KNOW VACANCY
RATES ARE PROBLEMS ESCALATING
RENTS ARE PROBLEMS STIGMAS AN
ISSUE- YOU KNOW THERE'S AND- YOU
KNOW WE SEE THIS. AS ONE PART OF
IT- ONE PART OF THE COUNTRY
SOLUTION THAT ENCIRCLE. SO I. AM
SO FAR UP ON ON YOUR STATEMENT
YOU JUST MADE. DO WE HAVE- DO
YOU HAVE DATA THAT ACTUALLY
SHOWS. M. WELL FIRST OF ALL. HOW
OFTEN DO WE RAISE THE VOUCHER
AMOUNT THAT'S AVAILABLE BECAUSE
BOTH A PRIVATE OR IN AND- IN M.
NON PRIVATE WE'RE GOING TO SEE
VACANCY RATES- EVEN FOR PEOPLE
THAT. ARE NOT VOUCHER. WE DON'T
HAVE THE HOUSING AVAILABLE IN
THERE JUST PERIOD WHICH
OBVIOUSLY THEN HIKES UP TO IT
THE- THE RENTS ON IN GENERAL SO.
I LOOK AT HOUSING IN GENERAL
WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE I CAN
TELL YOU HAVING WORKED WITH
PRIVATE. OUT OR JUST AN ODD NON
DOUBT SURE CLIENTS IT WAS
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND. AN
HOUSING EVEN IN AREAS LIKE
MYSELF WHERE THAT REPRESENTS THE
INLAND EMPIRE WHICH ARE GROWING
AREA. AND YET WE STILL HAD
TROUBLE FINDING- HOUSING IT
WOULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE YOU
KNOW WE WOULD FIND ANYTHING THAT
THAT WAS AVAILABLE SEPT ONE HOW
OFTEN DO YOU FOLKS- RAISE THE
VOUCHER AMOUNT AND NUMBER TWO.
M. WITH THIS DATA REPORTING IS
THERE'S BEEN A SPECIFIC DATE AS
YOU FOLKS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE- THE-
EITHER THE AMOUNT THAT'S BEING
AFFORDED OR NUMBER TO THE
VACANCY. YES SO I'LL ANSWER THE
SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION
FIRST WHICH IS THE DATA THAT
WE'RE ASKING THE HOUSING
AUTHORITY'S REPORT. ESSENTIALLY
SEPARATES WE COLUMN SUCCESS
RATES BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
DATA THAT HELPS US PAINT THE
PICTURE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING ON
THE GROUND WITH RESPECT TO LOCAL
DOCTOR FAMILIES SO RIGHT NOW
IT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. IS A
LOT OF DATA ON HIDE'S DEATH THEY
HAVE A PUBLIC FACING DASHBOARD
AROUND UTILIZATION BUDGET
UTILIZATION BUT THAT'S A VERY
DIFFERENT NUMBER THAN WHAT WE'RE
ASKING PETE HOUSING AUTHORITIES
REPORT WHICH IS AGAIN LEASE UP
RATES HOW MANY. FAMILIES THAT
ARE HANDED A VOUCHER LAST MONTH
FOR A TO LISA WITH THAT THAT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOR THAT'S NOW
CURRENT PUBLICLY DATE AVAILABLE
SOME OF THE RAW DATA FIGURES TO
FIGURE THAT OUT WE THINK IS
GOING TO HIDE. SO WE'RE ASKING
THE HOUSING AUTHORITIES TO DO IS
TAKE THE EXTRA STEP AND REPORT
IT TO OUR STATE. HOUSING AGENCY
EACH CD SO THAT THEN NOT ONLY DO
WE SEE IT INDIVIDUAL HOUSING
AUTHORITIES WHAT'S HAPPENING
LOCALLY BUT THE STATE CAN
PROVIDE SOME OVERSIGHT AND SEATS
ORDER. HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT ARE
THE SUCCESS RATE STATEWIDE WHAT
ARE THE LEAST OF RATES WHERE THE
PROBLEM AREAS. AND THEN FOCUSED
ON WORKING WITH THOSE INDIVIDUAL
HOUSING AUTHORITY THIS IS NOT
PUNITIVE AS YOU SAID THERE'S YOU
KNOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS
STATEWIDE THIS IS WE ARE
OFFERING YOU EXTRA ASSISTANCE
WORK WITH OUR STATE HOUSING
AGENCY. LET'S NARROW DOWN WHAT
WHAT DO WE THINK THE LOCAL
CAUSES ARE OF THESE LONELY
SEPARATE. AND HOW CAN WE
SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THEM
LOCALLY. HOUSING AUTHORITY BY
HOUSING AUTHORITY. OKAY AND
THEN- AND THEN I THINK I EAT
THERE'S- BEHIND YOU WE HAVE IT.
SEVEN WHAT IS THAT WOULD LIKE TO
ALSO COMMENTED WILL. GIVE THEM
A- TWO MINUTES TO BE ABLE TO.
ADDRESS ANY. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
THAT THEY MAY HAVE. I WANTED.
RESPOND YOUR QUESTION IN TERMS
OF THE SMALL AREA AFTER MARS
WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE FAIR MARKET RENTS AND
YOU'RE RIGHT. VACANCY IS A HUGE
ISSUE IN FACT THAT'S WHY A LOT
OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE HERE FROM
THE BAY AREA. BECAUSE I MEAN NO
MATTER HOW HIGH YOU WOULD RAISE
IT THEY STILL CAN'T. THERE'S NO
INVENTORY THERE'S NO UNITS
AVAILABLE BUT ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT HAD HAS DONE. IS IDENTIFIED
WHICH HOUSING AUTHORITIES
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
WILL BENEFIT FROM SMALL AREA
AFTER MARS AND IN FACT MY
HOUSING AUTHORITY SACRAMENTO
WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE DATA SAID.
YOU WILL BENEFIT AND THEY
MANDATED THAT WE DO THAT SO I
THINK HAD IS ALREADY LOOKING AT
HOUSING AUTHORITIES IS ALREADY
DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE TO ENSURE THAT THE
MARKET CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT.
IF YOU IMPLEMENT THIS CHANGE
YOU'RE GOING TO BENEFIT THE
RESIDENTS WERE THEY'LL HAVE
ACCESS TO THOSE HIGHER
OPPORTUNITY AREAS- SO FOR YOU TO
CREATE A LEGISLATION. THAT
REALLY IS STARTING TO OVER RULE
WHAT HAD HAS ALREADY DONE THE
RESEARCH ON WE FEEL WILL NOT
BENEFIT HOUSING AUTHORITIES THAT
WILL BE. SUBMITTING DATA
SUBMITTING DATA BUT IT'S REALLY
NOT GETTING TO THE PEOPLE WHO
NEED IT THE MOST. THANK YOU
MA'AM. M. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
JUST FOLLOW UP WITH THE FINAL
COUNT. SORRY DID YOU HAVE
SOMETHING I ACCIDENTALLY WENT TO
ADD ONE OF THE THINGS THAT. HURT
HIS ALLOWED AS HOUSING
AUTHORITIES TO UTILIZE HOUSING
CHOICE VOUCHERS IN A PROJECT
BASED METHODOLOGY. TO BE ABLE TO
PRODUCE MORE UNITS OF FOR
EXAMPLE THE HOME KEY INITIATIVE
FROM OUR GOVERNOR. THAT
INITIATIVE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE MANY HOUSING AUTHORITIES
IN THEIR APPLICATIONS USE THE
VOUCHER PROJECT BASED AND IS
ABLE TO PRODUCE MORE UNITS. WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT THE ASSISTANCE AS
BEING OFF OUR OFFER BY AUTHORS.
BUT HAS THE OFFICE OUT OF SAN
FRANCISCO TO PROVIDE THAT SAME
ASSISTANCE AS MY COLLEAGUE JUST
BROKE UP AND WE LOOK AT THE
ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE
REPRESENTED TODAY BOTH OF KANHAI
NRO. ONE OF OUR CLAIMS TO FAME
IS TO WORK TOGETHER. AND DO BEST
PRACTICES WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS
EXCESS THE EMERGENCY HOUSING.
YOU OUR HOUSING TREES SO. TO
PRODUCE UNITS AND SOME OF THE
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE
BEEN TALKED ABOUT AS FAR AS
BEING SUCCESSFUL WE ACTUALLY
HEROES REGULARLY AND ROUTINELY
AS BEST PRACTICES COLLEAGUE TO
COLLEAGUE. AND IT'S PART OF THE
GENESIS THAT COMES OUT OF THE
COLLABORATION FOR THESE TWO
GROUPS. OUR SUCCESS RATE HAS
BEEN TREMENDOUS AND IS NOT
STOPPING BUT RATHER MANY OF US
ARE LOOKING AT. UP RAISING AND
INCREASING OUR FAIR MARKET RENTS
SOME HOUSING AUTHORITIES HAVE
GONE UP TO A HUNDRED AND 10% A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY PERCENT.
THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT HAS
ALREADY PLACED ON US AND AT
ALLOWS US TO DO THE WORK WITH
OUR LEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP
WITH HIGH. WITHOUT HAVING AN
ADDITIONAL BURDEN. OF REPORTING
AND AS- A FIRE SO SHE- SPOKE
THAT IS PUBLIC INFORMATION AND
THE LEASE UP RATES. IS SOMETHING
THAT THE OVER ONE HUNDRED
HOUSING AUTHORITIES THE COLORS
OF HAUSER'S WORKED TIRELESSLY TO
DO BECAUSE OUR MAIN GOAL AND
MISSION. IS TO MAKE SURE
FAMILY'S HOUSE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. AM I WOULD LIKE TO JUST
GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR- LEADER
REYES- THERE IS WOULD YOU. LIKE
TO LOVE TO GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO- AND ADDRESS THE
CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO BEING
AN UNFUNDED MANDATE IN THE- IN
THE EXTRA BURDEN THAT IT WOULD
COST TO. TO D. M. HOUSING
AUTHORITIES THAT ARE ALREADY
DOING THE WORK AND FEEL THAT
THEY'RE ALREADY LIMITED IN THEIR
CAPACITY TO DO THE CURRENT- WORK
ON THAT- IN THEIR DEPARTMENTS. I
THINK IT'S FAIR THAT IF- IF
WE'RE GOING TO PUT TOGETHER A
PROGRAM THAT'S GOING TO HELP OUR
OWN HOUSE THE HOUSE. I THINK THE
REPORTING HAS TO BE AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THIS. AND I RECOGNIZE
THAT THERE IS REPORTING ALREADY
BEING DONE. BUT THE REPORTING IS
NECESSARY IF WE ARE. IF WE HAVE
OVER SIXTEEN THOUSAND VOUCHERS
ON USED WE REALLY SHOULD FIND
OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THOSE
PEOPLE B. HOUSE YOU'RE RIGHT
THERE IT THERE ACTUALLY THERE
FOR DIFFERENT REASONS ARE GIVEN.
FOR THESE ON HEALTH VALVES ARE
UNUSED VOUCHERS FIRST IS THE
STIGMA THE STIGMA THAT'S
ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE USING A
HOUSING VOUCHER. OF THE
DISCRIMINATION IS TALKED ABOUT
EARLIER THE SECOND IS THAT- THE
HOUSING AUTHORITY POLICY. ALSO
MAKES IT HARDER TO LEASE UP THEY
REQUIRE A AN INSPECTION OF THE
UNIT BEFORE. THEY CAN BE
AUTHORIZED. PART OF THE PROGRAM
IS BEING RECOMMENDED WILL ASSIST
THOSE LANDLORDS THAT HAVE TO DO
MORE TO GET THERE THE PROPERTY
READY THAT'S THAT'S IMPORTANT-
THE. FIND A BETTER WAY TO DO THE
INSPECTIONS SO THAT THERE ISN'T
SUCH A LONG WAIT PERIOD BETWEEN
THE TIME THAT THE USER OF THE
VOUCHER ARRIVES IN THE TIME WHEN
THEY FIND THE PROPERTIES
FINALLY. INSPECTED AND THEY CAN
MOVE IN. ANOTHER AS WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER IS THE RENTS
ARE TOO LOW THE RENT VOUCHERS
AREN'T THAT ARE ALLOWED HER TO
LOW AND THERE'S DISCUSSION ABOUT
WHAT CAN BE DONE IN THAT REGARD.
AND THEN FINALLY THAT THEY'RE
COMPETING WITH SO MANY OTHERS
FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF UNITS.
OF THE THAT THE PROGRAM ITSELF
WILL HELP OUR LANDLORDS AND GIVE
LANDLORDS INCENTIVES ALSO SO
THAT THEY ARE MORE WILLING TO
HELP OR TO ACCEPT- THE VOUCHER.
TENANTS ANOTHER IS TO HELP WITH
DEPOSITS THAT BECOMES A BIG
ISSUE FOR MANY OF THOSE WHO HAVE
VOUCHERS THEY STILL HAVE TO PAY
FOR THE DEPOSIT. SO THE PROGRAM
WOULD ALSO HELP WITH THAT AND OF
COURSE THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE
WHICH WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH.
NOW WE DID INCLUDE A REQUEST IN
THE BUDGET FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDING WHICH IS NOT PROVIDED
THIS YEAR- SO IT CAN BE SUBJECT
. TO AUTHORIZATION- IN THE
COMING YEARS THERE'S NO QUESTION
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK TO
LOOK AT. BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF REASONS AGAIN WHY A VOUCHER
IS REMAINS UNDERUSED AND I THINK
WE OWE IT TO THOSE WHO HAVE
THOSE VOUCHERS TO FIND BETTER
WAYS TO GET THEM HOUSED. AND IF
IT MEANS AN INCENTIVE TO THE
LANDLORD- MEANS HELPING THEM
WITH A DEPOSIT. FINDING THOSE
WAYS AND FINDING WAYS TO TAKE
CARE OF IT NOW WE DID HEAR FROM
ORANGE COUNTY FOR THEIR HOUSING
AUTHORITY THEY THEY'VE HAD GREAT
SUCCESS. IN DOING THIS PROGRAM
THE SAME THING WITH MARIN
COUNTY- THEY HAVE A SIMILAR
PROGRAM WITH THE PHENOMENAL
SUCCESS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER DAMON
CONNOLLY WHO'S ALSO A JOINT
AUTHORS SPOKE HIGHLY ABOUT THE
MARIN COUNTY- PROGRAM AND HOW
THAT IS HELPING. TO MAKE SURE
THAT THOSE WITH HOUSING VOUCHERS
GET TO USE THEM AND GET TO BE
HOUSED. THANK YOU I'M LEADERS I
BELIEVE- SENATOR SKINNER HAS
SOME COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. I
REQUEST WE SHARE WHAT- YOU ARE
TRYING TO DO WITH THIS BILL
BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT
FRUSTRATION. OF MINUS. ARE IN MY
AREA WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM OF
THE VOUCHERS NOT BEING ABLE TO
BE USED FOR A LONG TIME IT IS
NOT RECENT- RIGHT I JUST WANTED
TO- SEE I HEARD CORRECTLY THAT.
WHILE YOU ARE CLEAR THAT WE NEED
TO STATE AND I AGREE WITH YOU
YOU ARE ALSO OPEN TO CONTINUING
TO LOOK AT HOW IT MIGHT BE. A
DESIGNED TO SO IT IS LESS OF A
BURDEN AND LESS COSTLY
ABSOLUTELY OKAY. YOUR STORY WILL
CONTINUE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND
WE HOPE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM
THE HOUSING AUTHORITIES-
REPRESENT REPRESENTATIVES OF TO
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OKAY.
THANK YOU WITHOUT I DO CAN WE
MOVE BILLS OR IS EVERYTHING.
WHAT YEAH ONE OF CLASSROOM YET
SO WHEN THAT TIME OKAY IT HAD
MOTIONS BEFORE. THANK YOU SO
THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS SEE NON- NUMBER IS
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. YES
THANK YOU THE PURPOSE OF THE
BILLS TO INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY
TO ENSURE THAT. WE ARE
MAXIMIZING THE USE OF FEDERAL
VOUCHERS IT'S CLEAR THAT WE
AREN'T AND WE'VE GOT TO FIND
BETTER WAYS TO DO THIS WE HAVE
TO BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE WHO.
HELP HOUSING AUTHORITIES THAT
ARE STRUGGLING AND PROVIDE THE
BEST PRACTICES FROM THOSE THAT
ARE DOING A BETTER JOB. THE WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU M. KEEP ONCE
A LEADER REYES. MEMORIES THANK
YOU REPRESENTING THE BILL TODAY
WILL PUT IT ON CALL MOVIE
ESTABLISH A FORMAL WILL PROCEED.
AND DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS
HERE. ASSEMBLY MEMBER GRAYSON-
LET'S SEE. I REMEMBER THREE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO. PROCEED WITH
ITEM NUMBER THREE EIGHTY TWO
EIGHTY ONE. WONDERFUL PERFECT.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS- AT THIS
POINT GOOD AFTERNOON FOR ALMOST
APPROACHING EVENING- GOOD
AFTERNOON AB TWO EIGHTY ONE IS A
GOOD GOVERNANCE MEASURE THAT
WOULD APPLY A THIRTY TO SIXTY
DAY TIME LINES DEPENDING ON THE
SIZE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE
TIME PERIODS. THE SPECIAL
DISTRICTS HAVE TO WEIGH IN AND
PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON POST
ENTITLEMENT PHASE PERMIT THE
LOCAL AGENCY HAS DEEMED COMPLETE
CURRENTLY ONLY CITIES AND ONLY
COUNTIES ARE UNDER A SPECIFIED
TIMELINES FOR REVIEWING POST
ENTITLEMENT PHASE PERMITS.
EXISTING LAW GIVES THESE LOCAL
AGENCIES BETWEEN THIRTY TO SIXTY
DAYS DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF
THE DEVELOPMENT TO COMPLETE
REVIEW FOR THESE PERMITS HOWEVER
THE SAME TIME LINES DID NOT
APPLY TO SPECIAL DISTRICTS THIS
BILL BUILDS OFF OF THE WORK THAT
WAS DONE IN AB TWENTY TWO THIRTY
FOUR. FROM THE LAST LEGISLATIVE
SESSION AND WOULD HOLD SPECIAL
DISTRICTS TO THE SAME STANDARDS
AS THESE LOCAL AGENCIES TO HELP
PREVENT COSTLY DELAYS AND REDUCE
BARRIERS TO HOUSING PRODUCTION.
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH MANY OF THE
SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO ENSURE THAT
THE BILL ADDRESSES THE MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SITUATIONS
THAT DIFFERENT- SPECIAL
DISTRICTS MAY NEED TO GO THROUGH
DURING THE POST ENTITLEMENT
PHASE. THE BILL CAPTURES THE
INCREMENTAL ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY
TAKE PLACE DURING THE
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AS CERTAIN
FACTORS MAY CHANGE THROUGHOUT
THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT. ALLOWING A SPECIAL
DISTRICT TO REVIEW AND ASSESS
INFORMATION AS NEW FACTORS MAY
ARISE. AND WITH ME WE DO HAVE
YES WITH ME WE HAVE COREY SMITH

MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS. AB TWELVE
EIGHTEEN PROVIDED NEEDED CLARITY
TO ENSURE THAT THE REPLACEMENT
HOUSING AND RELOCATION
ASSISTANCE PROVISIONS OF SB
THREE THIRTY. ARE IMPLEMENTABLE
AND CAN ACHIEVE THEIR INTENDED
IMPACT. VISUALLY EXPANDS THOSE
PROVISIONS TO APPLY TO ANY
DEVELOPMENT THAT IS DEMOLISHING
EXISTING HOUSING FOR ENSURE THAT
WE ARE NOT BACKSLIDING IN
ADDRESSING THE STATE'S HOUSING
SUPPLY CRISIS. THE BILL
CLARIFIES A NUMBER OF PROVISIONS
OF EXISTING LAW THAT REQUIRED
THE REPLACEMENT OF HOUSING UNITS
AND RELIGIOUS INSISTENCE AND
RIGHT TO RETURN FOR DISPLACED
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AS A
CONDITION OF DEVELOPING SITES
WERE EXISTING HOUSING IS
DEMOLISHED. THESE PROVISIONS
HAVE BEEN FLAGGED BY BOTH LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND H. C. D. AS
DIFFICULT TO INTERPRET AND OF
LEAD TO CONFUSION FOR
DEVELOPERS. THIS IS MEANT TO
DISPLACE LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM THE
IMPORTANT PROTECTIONS THEY HAVE
UNDER THE LAW. IN ADDITION THE
BILL EXTENDS THE REPLACEMENT
HOUSING OBLIGATION UNDER SB
THREE THIRTY ALL PROJECTS RATHER
THAN JUST HOUSING PROJECTS.
DEVELOPERS SHOULD HAVE TO PLAN
SHOULD HAVE A PLAN TO REPLACE
EXISTING HOUSING UNITS
REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF
PROJECT THEY'RE BUILDING
CONSISTENT WITH THE RULES THAT
ALREADY APPLY UNDER HOUSING- OUR
HOUSING ELEMENT LAW. WHILE IT IS
TRUE THAT OTHER PARTS OF SB
THREE THIRTY ONLY APPLIED TO
HOUSING PROJECTS. FUNDAMENTALLY
THE BILL WAS ABOUT EXPANDING
HOUSING SUPPLY DO ADDRESS THE
STATE'S SHORTAGE OF UNITS. WHEN
DEVELOPERS OF COMMERCIAL OR
INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS DEMOLISHING
THIS KING HOUSING. WITH NO
PLANNED REPLACEMENT. REPLACEMENT
IT FRUSTRATES CYCLE. THE
PROVISION EXPANDING SB THREE
THIRTIES REPLACEMENT OBLIGATION
AND NONRESIDENTIAL PROJECTS HAS
RAISED RECENT OPPOSITION. I'M
COMMITTED TO FINDING A SOLUTION
TO TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION OF
THE CONCERNS THE OPPOSITION IS
RAISED. ULTIMATELY THE GOAL IS
TO MINIMIZE THE INSTANCES IN
WHICH EXISTING HOUSING IS
DEMOLISHED. IT IS NOT REPLACED
WITH ME TODAY I HAVE VALERIE
FELDMAN AN ATTORNEY WITH THE
PUBLIC INTEREST LAW PROJECT. TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK
TODAY. I'VE BEEN AN ATTORNEY
WITH PUBLIC INTEREST LAW PROJECT
FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS BUT FOR
TWENTY TWO YEARS I REPRESENTED
INDIGENT CLIENTS IN NEED OF
HOUSING BOTH IN HOUSING AND LAND
USE ACTIONS. AND OUR GOALS HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN TO PRESERVE THE
EXISTING HOUSING THAT EXISTS AS
WELL AS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION
OF HOUSING THAT CAN MEET THEIR
NEEDS. AND OUR GOAL HERE IS TO
INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THIS IMPORTANT LAW. TO MAKE SURE
THAT WHEN HOUSING IS JEOPARDIZE
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF OTHER
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO
BECAUSE OF COMMERCIAL AND
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. THAT THE
HOUSING UNITS AND THE TENANTS IN
THOSE UNITS ARE PROTECTED. BY
EITHER REPLACING THOSE UNITS. IF
THEY'RE EMPTY REPLACING THOSE
UNITS AND RELOCATING THE TENANTS
IF THOSE UNITS ARE OCCUPIED. THE
GOAL IS REALLY TO PROTECT THE
THOUSANDS OF UNITS THAT ARE IN
JEOPARDY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF
THE INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT WE'VE SEEN IN SOME
AREAS. THAT ARE- QUESTIONING
WHETHER THIS LAW APPLIES TO THEM
WHEN THESE COMMERCIAL
INDUSTRIAL. PRODUCTS ARE
PROPOSED THIS. OFFERS THE
CLARIFICATION TO MAKE SURE THAT
THOSE USES KNOW THAT THEY ARE
INTENDED TO REPLACE HOUSING
THAT'S DEMOLISHED OR- TENANTS
WHO ARE DISPLACED. THE GOAL OF
COURSE IS TO STEER DEVELOPMENT
IN A PLACE THAT WON'T DESTROY
HOUSING. ANY HOUSING. BUT WHEN
CIRCUMSTANCES APPLY THAT REQUIRE
THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS MOVE
FORWARD IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS
HOUSING AND HOUSING THAT'S
CURRENTLY OCCUPIED. THAT WE KNOW
THAT TENANTS IN THOSE UNITS WILL
BE PROTECTED AND RELOCATED AND
WE KNOW THAT WE WON'T LOSE ANY
HOUSING UNITS. IN THE MIDDLE OF.
REALLY THE LARGEST HOUSING
CRISIS THE STATE HAS EVER FACED.

SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TO
ADDRESS WHAT HAS TRULY BECOME
THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS
GOVERNOR NEWSOM HAS PROPOSED
WHAT WOULD BE THE BIGGEST.
EXPANSION OF CALIFORNIA'S
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AB

HOMES THIS FUNDING INCLUDES
EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE MILLION

EFFORTS TO BUILD OUT
CALIFORNIA'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

WOULD REFORM THE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES ACT AND IMPROVE
STATEWIDE ACCOUNTABILITY
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS TO

BILL. I APPRECIATE YOUR BRINGING
IT FORWARD WE NEED THIS AND- I
DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
IT. SO MEMBER- AND I'M VERY
EXCITED TO SEE THIS BILL I'VE
HAD- A BILL SIMILAR TO THIS-
WITH THE EXPANSION OF- THE
MENTAL BED KEPT HEALTH CAPACITY
THROUGHOUT THE CONTINUUM OF.
LAST YEAR IN THIS YEAR WENT
THROUGH WITH. UNOPPOSED AT
THROUGH THE SENATE UNFORTUNATELY
DIED IN. IN APPROPRIATIONS
BECAUSE UNLIKE YOURS THERE
WASN'T A BOND IT WAS ACTUALLY-
REQUESTING SOME FUNDS FROM THE
GENERAL- BUDGET BUT I AM
GRATEFUL AND- I TRULY HOPE THAT
THIS GOES THROUGH AND THAT IT'S-
VOTED IN BYE. BYE CALIFORNIA'S
BECAUSE WE DO WE DO NEED TO
EXPAND THE METAL BED CAPACITY.
ONE OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT
WE'VE HAD ACROSS THE STATE AS WE
SPEAK TO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS
ON THEIR SIDES DESPERATELY
NEEDED NOW IN THE STATE SO I'M
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL WHEN
THE APPROPRIATE TIME COMES WELL.
SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I
JUST- RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE WHEN THE WHEN THE TIME
COMES. UNDER FULL OF SURPRISE WE
DON'T HAVE MORE LISTS IN
SUPPORT- IT'S A IS IT WHAT WE
ARE JUST. STARTING THE PROCESS
BUT- YOU KNOW I HAVEN'T TALKED
TO ANYBODY THAT IS. WANTING THIS
OUT AS ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE
ISSUES OF OUR TIME YES AND SO I
THINK THIS IS A- AUDACIOUS BOND
AN AUDACIOUS GOAL BY THE
GOVERNOR AND THE REALLY- PLEASED
TO BE PART OF IT THROUGH. NO I
I'VE CARRIED THE H. H. P. A BILL
FOR A YEAR BOND FOR YEARS AND-
WE DID GET SOME FUNDING LAST
YEAR IN THE BUDGET BUT IT'S BEEN
SUPPORTED BY OVERWHELMINGLY BY
VOTERS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE
ONE GROUP THAT ACTUALLY HAS
DECREASED. AS A PERCENTAGE OF
HOMELESSNESS IT'S VETERANS
BECAUSE WE DID PUT THE RESOURCES
THERE. SO WE'RE HOPING TO BRING
THIS EVEN FURTHER AND HOPEFULLY
HAVE THAT SAME SITE KIND OF
SUCCESS THANK YOU. WONDERFUL
THANK YOU. NUMBER IRWIN-
HELLO MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
SORRY. WELCOME NUMBER FRIEDMAN
WILL NOW CONTINUE WITH ITEM
NUMBER TWENTY AB EIGHT NINETY
FOUR. PLEASE PROCEED WHEN YOU'RE
READY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT
IN TURN MEMBERS THERE ARE
FIFTEEN MILLION PARKING SPACES
IN THE BAY AREA ALONE. A NOTHING
IT IF THEY WERE PUT END TO END
THEY WOULD STRETCH AROUND THE
WORLD TWO POINT THREE TIMES. LA
HAS ALMOST SIX MILLION PARKING
SPACES OR ONE AND A HALF FOR
EVERY RESIDENT INCLUDING
CHILDREN WHO DON'T USUALLY
DRIVE. OFTEN WHAT APPEARS AS A
PARKING SHORTAGE IS ACTUALLY A
PARKING MANAGEMENT DEFICIENCY.
JURISDICTIONS FREQUENTLY REQUIRE
CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PARKING FOR
DEVELOPMENTS AND EVEN SOMETIMES
FOR CHANGES OF USE OF EXISTING
BUILDINGS EVEN IF THERE IS AN
ABUNDANCE OF UNUSED PARKING
NEARBY. THE BUILDING THAT I HAVE
MY DISTRICT OFFICE IN BURBANK IS
IN A PARKING STRUCTURE THAT'S
MAYBE FIVE OR SIX STORIES TALL
AND EVEN BEFORE COBIT ONLY ABOUT
ONE FLOOR OF THAT BUILDING WAS
IN USE AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND
YET. IF A NEW BUSINESS WAS TO
MOVE THEN OR SOMEONE TRIES TO
BUILD A NEW BUILDING RIGHT NEXT
TO THAT STRUCTURE THEY WOULD
PROBABLY BURKE BE REQUIRED TO
BUILD A LOT MORE PARKING EVEN
THOUGH THAT BUILD THAT PARKING.
IS EMPTY WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS
A VERY COMMON SENSE APPROACH
THAT SAYS THAT IF A DEVELOPER
CONTRACTS WITH NEARBY PARKING
LOT USING STANDARDS THAT ARE
OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR
DISTANCE. IF THEY MAKE THAT
CONTRACT TO USE THAT PARKING
THAT CAN COUNT TOWARDS THEIR
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT IT'S AS SIMPLE AS
THAT IT DOESN'T FORCE ANYBODY TO
SHARE THEIR PARKING IT DOESN'T
SAY THE DEVELOPER CAN'T. BUILD
THEIR OWN PARKING IT JUST SAYS
THAT IF THEY'RE ABLE TO USE
ADJACENT PARKING. THAT IS
AVAILABLE THAT CAN COUNTS THAT
WE DON'T HAVE TO WASTE OF
RESOURCES AND CLIMATE IMPACT OF
DOING A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION
THAT'S UNNECESSARY. AND WHICH
WITH THE ADVENT OF AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLES IN A FEW YEARS COULD
BECOME A STRANDED ASSET. AMID
THIS BILL WILL DESIGNATE THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WERE TO BE
ALLOWED. AND IT ALLOWS IT
REQUIRES PUBLIC AGENCIES TO
ALLOW THIS- BUT NO ONE IS
REQUIRED AGAIN TO SHARE THEIR
PARKING. TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
ON BEHALF OF OUR SPONSORS PER IS
MICHAEL LANE AND I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR AYE VOTE. GREAT BUT
I'M SURE MEMBERS MY CLAIMS FOR A
PUBLIC POLICY THINK TANK IN THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. EIGHTY
EIGHT NINETY FOUR DESIGNED TO BE
A LIGHT TOUCH BILL THAT PROVIDES
A FRAMEWORK FOR SHARED PARTY.
BASED ON MORE THAN TWO DECADES
OF WORK BY YOU A LIFE URBAN LAND
INSTITUTE. DEVELOPING AND
REFINING BEST PRACTICES. FOR
SOME JURISDICTIONS ARE GOOD
UTILIZING SHARED PARKING
AGREEMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE USE
OF. AND ACCESS TO EXISTING
PARKING SPACES THE VAST MAJORITY
OF ADOPT EITHER NO OR VERY
LIMITED POLICIES. ORDINANCES AND
PRACTICES IN THIS AREA. IS
IMPORTANT AT THE METHODOLOGY FOR
DETERMINING BAILABLE UNDER
UTILIZED PARKING SPACE IS DRIVEN
BY LOCAL DATA. GLEANED BY ON THE
GROUND OBSERVATION AND DIRECT
EXPERIENCE. EIGHTY EIGHT NINETY

YOU THIS IS SUCH A SMART BILL
WHAT A GOOD IDEA. I FULLY
SUPPORT IT THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING IT. YOU. YOUR
MICROPHONE WAS NOT ON SENATORS

OF SENATOR. OR TAKING. YOU THE

INVISION- IN TERMS OF THE
DURATION OF. THE ARRANGEMENTS
YOU KNOW CLEARLY YOU WOULDN'T
WANT- SAY I OWN THE BUILDING
NEXT TO YOU AND I AGREE. FOR THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS TO PROVIDE YOU.
OF SHARED PARKING. AGAIN VERY
SMART- BUT I GO AWAY- THE
CONTRACT EXPIRES IN. YOU KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED SINCE OR IS THAT.
IS THAT PART OF WHAT'S PUSHED
DOWN TO THE LOCALS TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
IT WILL BE UP TO THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO BASICALLY CERTIFY
THE AGREEMENT. SO THEY CAN HAVE
STANDARDS AND SAY LISTEN AT SIX
MONTHS ISN'T ENOUGH WE WANT TO
SEE LONGER THERE'S ALSO THE
OBJECTIVE STANDARDS THAT THE
PLANNING INSTITUTE HAS DEVELOPED
THAT LOOK AT DISTANCE AMOUNT OF
TIME ALL OF THAT. OKAY SKINNER
FOR ME THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS
FROM OUR ARMED MEMBERS- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FREE WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE SURE THANK YOU THE BILL
HAS RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
I DOESN'T HAVE ANY REGISTERED
OPPOSITION AND WE HAVE CITIES
LIKE BAKERSFIELD WERE INTERESTED
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO THIS BUT
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SPEND
THE TIME DOING THE HEARINGS AND
DOING THE PLANNING PROCESS. WITH
THAT I WOULD I REALLY APPRECIATE
THAT THE SUPPORT AND- THANK YOU
ALL FOR THE DISCUSSION. THANK
YOU- MEMBER AND FRIEDMAN WE'RE
GONNA KEEP THAT ON CALL UNTIL
WE'RE ABLE TO ESTABLISH A QUORUM
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE WILL NOT CONTINUE WITH.
ITEM TWENTY ONE AB THIRTEEN
SEVENTY SEVEN. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH THIS IS A BILL THAT IS
RECEIVED AS FAR AS I CAN
REMEMBER UNANIMOUS SUPPORT IN
EVERY HEARING THAT IT'S HAD. A
WE FOUND OUT A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO THAT- ONE OF THE REASONS
THAT WE BELIEVE WE'RE
EXPERIENCING SUCH AN IMPACT OF
THE HOMELESS POPULATION ON
TRANSIT. IS BECAUSE SOME OF OUR
TRAIN OUR POEM WAS AGENCIES THAT
ARE CONTRACTED WITH COUNTIES TO
PROVIDE HOMELESSNESS SERVICES
HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT OR IN SOME
CASES REFUSE TO PROVIDE THEIR
SERVICES ON TRANSIT. EITHER THEY
FEEL THAT IT'S NOT THEIR
JURISDICTION OR THEY WANT TO BE
COMPENSATED EFFORT DIFFERENT WAY
THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING THE
HOMELESS COUNTS ON TRANSIT. AND
THAT THEY WERE. WHAT THAT'S
DOING IS CAUSING OUR TRANSIT
AGENCIES TO BASICALLY HAVE TO
STAND UP THEIR OWN HOMELESSNESS
SERVICES. AND THEY'RE NOT
EQUIPPED FOR THAT AND THEY'RE
NOT FUNDED FOR THAT- WE DON'T
GIVE THEM MONEY TO PROVIDE
HOMELESS OR- SERVICES AND THEY
DON'T HAVE EXPERTS THEY'RE GOOD
AT RUNNING TRAINS THEY'RE GOOD
AT. AND SCHEDULING THEY'RE NOT
GOOD AT BEING SOCIAL WORKERS AND
WE DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD
HAVE TO DO THAT. WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS IT REQUIRES THE AGENCIES
FOR WHICH THE STATE DOES FUND
HOMELESS. PROVIDING SERVICES. TO
PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES ON
TRANSIT IS WELL. THROUGH
AGREEMENTS WITH TRANSIT AGENCIES
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR SAFETY.
THAT THERE IS YOU KNOW ACCESS
ARE ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ARE
DEALT WITH BUT WE WANT TO MAKE
IT CLEAR. THAT THE SHOULD BE THE
JOB OF OUR- COUNTY CONTRACTED.
SO HOMELESS PROVIDERS NOT OF OUR
TRANSIT AGENCIES. I THINK THAT
THE PUBLIC IS TIRED OF HEARING
PEOPLE SO- OR AGENCY SAY HEY
THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM THAT
SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM. AND
SINCE THERE'S AMBIGUITY IN THE
LAW WE WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S
HOMELESS AGENCIES. THAT ARE
WORSE THAT SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY
WHETHER THEY'RE ON A CITY
STREET. OR IN A TRAIN STATION
THAT IT SHOULD STILL BE THOSE
COUNTY AGENCIES. ARE THIS BILL
IS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE L. A.
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AT
THE BAY AREA COUNCIL AND TRANSIT
AGENCIES UP AND DOWN THE STATE.
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT ON BEHALF
OF OUR SPONSOR L. A. METRO. IS
ENTER ON TWEET. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS. ENTERING INTO WE
ON BEHALF OF THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSIT.
AUTHORITY THE AUTHOR STATED
WELL. WE REALLY THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD-
METRO HAS BEEN A PARTNER KIND OF
IN A FOR SITUATION. TO INVEST.
PRECIOUS DOLLARS DEDICATED TO
TRANSIT. TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM
OF HOMELESSNESS- AS IT PRESENTS
ITSELF ON THE STATIONS IN THE
SYSTEM. LA METRO'S WORKED WITH
THE LOS ANGELES- HOMELESS
SERVICES AUTHORITY. AND THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TO ENSURE
THAT THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
EXPERIENCING HOMELESS
HOMELESSNESS ON THE TRANSIT
SYSTEM. OUR CORPORATE IN THE
PLANNING AND DELIVERY OF
SERVICES FUNDED BY THE STATE.
METRO HAS OVER ONE HUNDRED RAIL
AND BUS RAPID TRANSIT STATIONS
THAT INCLUDE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE
SPACES. THAT SERVICE PLACES OF
REFUGE FOR ALL TOO MANY OF THE
IN HOUSE- ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
EXACTLY HOW RESOURCES ARE OR ARE
NOT SPENT. IS NOT A PROBLEM
THAT'S UNIQUE TO LOS ANGELES
COUNTY BUT THE PROBLEM IS
PARTICULARLY ACUTE IN SO ONCE
AGAIN WITH THANKS TO. THE AUTHOR
AND THE COMMITTEE WE THINK THIS
WILL DO WHAT THE STATE SAYS IT
NEEDS WHICH IS. TO SHOW WHERE
THE DOLLARS ARE GOING AND HOW
THEY'RE BEING SPENT AND TO COVER
THE CAP AS HE ALSO STATED. IN
THE REPORTING THAT MIGHT EXIST
TODAY AND FOR THOSE REASONS. WE
SUPPORT AND PROUD TO SPONSOR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I SEE NO

FURTHER COMMENT AND GIVE. THANK
YOU MADAM MODERATOR WILL NOT
BRING THE DISCUSSION BACK TO THE
NUMBERS ON THE DICE. SENATOR
NEXT YEAR YES THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU SAID IN YOUR
INTRODUCTION THAT- THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE ARE SERVED
BY THE AGENCIES THAT ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE SERVING HOT. AND
THE AN APPROACHING HOMELESSNESS
AND TRANSIT STAFF ARE NOT
TRAINED TO DO THAT. I JUST
WANTED TO ASK IF THIS BILL
REQUIRES THEM TO DO ANYTHING OR
IF IT JUST REQUIRES THAT THEY
REPORT ON WHETHER THEY DID DO
ANYTHING OR PLAN TO DO ANYTHING.
YEAH I REQUIRES THEM TO REPORT
ON WHAT STEPS THEY'VE TAKEN TO
SERVICES INDIVIDUALS SO THERE'S
NOTHING IN HERE THAT'S
PRESCRIPTIVE IN TERMS OF SAYING
YOU HAVE TO ENTER A STATION A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF TIMES. IT JUST
SAYS HEY. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO
COUNT THE PEOPLE IN THE SYSTEMS
AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO
SERVICE THEM. AND WE'RE HOPING
THAT IS THAT TRANSPARENCY AS
THEY COME FORWARD TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND TO THE STATE.
THAT THAT IT'S THE BEGINNING OF
THAT ACCOUNTABILITY SO THAT WE
CAN MAKE WE CAN HELP FOSTER
COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE
TRANSIT AGENCIES IN THE HOMELESS
AGENCIES. OKAY YES BECAUSE THE
IF THEY WERE WRITING DOWN IN A
NARRATIVE FORMAT WE SPECIFICALLY
EXCLUDE AND AVOID THE TRANSIT
STATIONS. THEN WE WOULD KNOW
THAT THAT'S A PROBLEM EXACTLY IN
AND IF THEY SAID HEY WE'VE-
REACHED OUT WE CAN'T GET ACCESS
THEN WE WOULD KNOW WHO TO BE
TALKING TO ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
RIGHT OKAY THANK YOU AND I WOULD
I WILL LEAVE THIS BILL WHEN WE
GET TO THAT POINT. THANK YOU.
VERY MUCH SENATOR BIKES HERE.
NEAR COMMENTS QUESTIONS SEEN
NONE- THE MURPHY FAMILY JULY TO
CLOSE WE JUST HEAR THAT THIS IS
A REAL PROBLEM WITH FOR TRANSIT
RIDERS- AND IT'S CERTAINLY A
PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND WE
WANT THEM TO BE OFFERED THE
SERVICES THAT THEY NEED. TO FIND
HOUSING AND TO BE SAFE AND-
CERTAINLY WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT
ARE IN THE TRANSIT SYSTEM
BECAUSE THEY FEEL SAFER THERE
THAN BEING ON THE STREETS. BUT
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING
THE OUTRAGE TO OFFER THEM EVEN
SAFER. AND MORE PERMANENT
HOUSING AND WE'RE HOPING THAT
THIS WILL FOSTER THE KIND OF
COMMUNICATION THAT WE NEED. TO
SERVICE THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND
GET THEM HOUSE PROPERLY. AND
ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT TRANSIT.
RIDERS ARM I HAVE. AN EXPERIENCE
THAT'S CONDUCIVE TO KEEPING THEM
WRITING OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER LUIS RIVAS THANK
YOU. I AM HERE TO PRESENT AB
SEVEN NINETY NINE ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RIVAS THIS BILL
REQUIRES THE CALIFORNIA
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL ON
HOMELESSNESS TO DEVELOP A
FINANCING PLAN TO SOLVE
HOMELESSNESS BY THE YEAR TWENTY
THIRTY FIVE ESTABLISH AN UPDATE
STATEWIDE PERFORMANCE METRICS BY
JANUARY ONE TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
AND CREATE A STREAMLINED FUNDING
APPLICATION FOR SPECIFIED STATE
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS
PROGRAMS I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE VOTE. WONDERFUL DO WE HAVE
ANY LEAD WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF
AB SEVENTY NINE YES THANK YOU
WELCOME TURN MEMBERS AND SHARON
REPORT WITH CORPORATION
TRANSPORT OF HOUSING YES H. AS
PART OF BRING CALIFORNIA HOME A
COALITION OF PEOPLE WITH LIVED
EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND CONTINUUM OF CARE
STAFF ADVOCATES SERVICE
PROVIDERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS
ALL IN SUPPORT OF AB SEVEN
NINETY NINE. ONE FIRST PRAISE
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY BUDGET
COMMITTEE STAFFER COMING UP
WITH- LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY
FRAMEWORK IN THE TRAILER BILL
THAT PASSED LAST WEEK. I'M AB
SEVEN NINETY NINE WOULD REQUIRE
EXISTING BURKE GROUPS THE
CALIFORNIA INTERAGENCY COUNCIL
ON HOMELESSNESS HAS ALREADY
CREATED THE EMPLOYMENT THREE
STRATEGIES ALL CALM ALL
COMPLEMENTING THAT LOCAL
ACCOUNTABILITY TRAILER BILL. FOR
THE LAST FOUR YEARS STATE FUNDED
GRANTEES HAVE ALL USED STATE
FUNDS VERY DIFFERENTLY. AB SEVEN
NINETY NINE WOULD FIRST REQUIRE
THE STANDING CAL ICIJ WORKGROUPS
TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC GOALS FOR
INCREASING HOUSING OPTIONS AND
DECREASING RACIAL DISPARITIES
AMONG CALIFORNIANS FALLING INTO
HOMELESSNESS. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IN COMMUNITIES LIKE
MONTEREY AND KERN COUNTIES HAVE
REDUCED HOMELESSNESS BY SENDING
DATA INFORMED GOALS. THEN
PLANNING TO MEET THOSE GOALS
USING EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES.
SETTING GOALS WILL COMMUNICATE
THE STATE'S PRIORITIES AND
EXPECTATIONS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
AND FUNNEL RESOURCES TOWARD
ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS. I'M SAY
STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK
PROGRESS OR LACK OF PROGRESS AND
ADJUST STRATEGIES. THE SECOND
COMPLEMENT HOMELESSNESS
ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD REQUIRE THE
STATE TO USE A CAL A CH
WORKGROUP TO CREATE A FINANCING
PLAN FOR SOLVING HOMELESSNESS. A
FINANCING PLAN WOULD REQUIRE CAL
A SPEECH TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT
WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO SOLVE
HOMELESSNESS IN TERMS OF FUNDING
AND TIMELINE. INCLUDED WITHIN
THAT PLAN THE STATE WOULD ASSESS
THE REAL COST OF SERVICES AND
SET STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS WORK
FIRST CAPACITY CHALLENGES. THE
LAST TWO AB SEVEN NINETY NINE
WOULD IMPLEMENT WOULD BE A FUND
UNIFIED FUNDING APPLICATION. THE
STATE NOW FUND SIX PROGRAMS THAT
PROVIDE A LOCAL THAT REQUIRES
LOCAL GOVERNMENT APPLICATION.
THESE PROGRAMS HAVE DIFFERENT
APPLICATION TIMELINES DIFFERENT
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA IN H. IS
DEDICATED TO DIFFERENT
POPULATIONS. SMALL COUNTY
SOMETIMES DO NOT HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO APPLY FOR ALL OF
THESE PROGRAMS. SB SEVEN NINETY
NINE WOULD EASE LOCAL
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN BY
CREATING A SINGLE APPLICATION
THAT WOULD ALLOW LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO APPLY THROUGH A
SINGLE PROCESS. IT WOULD ALLOW
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO FOCUS
ENERGY ON THE COLLABORATIVE
REGIONAL PLANNING PROCESS
OUTLINED IN THE TRAILER BILL. AS
WELL AS ON ADMINISTERING PROGRAM
DOLLARS ON THE GROUND. ONCE
CREATED A UNIFIED FUNDING
APPLICATION WOULD ALSO REDUCE
STATE- ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS
AND ALLOWABLE STATE STAFF AND
LOCAL OFFICIALS TO SPEND FUNDING
FASTER CUTTING RED TAPE REALLY
DOES MATTER. THESE THREE TOOLS
WOULD ADDRESS CHALLENGES
INTERSTATES HOMELESS RESPONSE
THE CONNECT SIGNIFICANT RACIAL
DISPARITIES IN HOMELESSNESS A
LACK OF FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS.
WORKFORCE CAPACITY CHALLENGES
AND ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS
SAMPLES WOULD MAKE LOCAL
COMPLIANCE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
MORE FEASIBLE WHILE ASSERTING
STATE DIRECTION OVER EXISTING
FUNDING AYE OR DRIVE OF THANK
YOU VERY MUCH YOU'RE JUST GONNA
ASK HIM LIKE WE HAVE TWO
MINUTES- BUT GREAT JOB YOU
