CalFresh provides critical support to help millions of Californians provide food for their families. State leaders should protect and strengthen food assistance programs that millions rely on each year. #HungerActionDay
The #CABudget "freeze" is now official, per a DOF letter issued today. We still don't know exactly which funds from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Budget Acts will be frozen, but departments must "immediately" freeze any funds that meet the criteria. #CALeg dof.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…

No child in California should go hungry. ⚡ Policymakers should continue to protect universal school meal programs to support children’s health and well-being. #HungerActionDay
The SSI/SSP program is a lifeline for millions of Californians, but many still struggle to afford basic needs due to past cuts. ⚡ Policymakers can restore COLA to ensure SSI/SSP grants truly meet the needs of Californians. calbudgetcenter.org/resources/ssi-…
Did you know? Despite being eligible, many Californians lose vital Medi-Cal coverage due to complex paperwork and difficulty reaching county offices. ⚡ Our policy experts @RamosYamamoto and @MLSaucedo share more. calbudgetcenter.org/resources/medi…
Policymakers should continue ending immigration status exclusions from our safety net programs to ensure all Californians have access to the supports they need. ‼️ ⚡ Read more from our policy expert @mmdavalos in our latest. calbudgetcenter.org/resources/over…
Continuous access to health care is necessary for everyone to be healthy and thrive. State policymakers can take additional steps to make sure people can access and maintain their Medi-Cal coverage. #caleg #cabudget calbudgetcenter.org/resources/medi…
“There is a need for persistence not only at a county level but at a state level to ensure equity is fully funded and protected,” Jonathan Kaplan from @CalBudgetCenter 💯💯
"Despite the critical role of the early learning and care system, access remains limited to only a fraction of children from eligible families," says @esaucedo9. ⚡ Policymakers should prioritize the well-being of families to secure a prosperous future for California. #caleg
Stakeholders Discuss Reparations for Black Californians as State Faces Deep Budget Cuts, via @SacObserver “Don’t let the legislature or the governor off the hook,” Bryan said. #CALeg #PolicyInsights24 sacobserver.com/2024/04/stakeh…
It seems almost impossible to believe, but The Guarantee is available TODAY in bookstores across the country. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this book to life, and especially to The Guarantee architects. I'll be forever grateful and inspired by what you have ushered into…
On Monday, the Assembly Rev & Tax committee will hear a bill that would eliminate the state tax break for mortgage interest on vacation homes, which would be a small but important step toward making the state’s tax system more fair. 🧵
“Ensuring all Californians have the resources they need to afford food, housing, child care, and meet all of their basic needs should be our state’s real measure of economic success.” calbudgetcenter.org/news/californi…
Check your assumptions about who is #Homeless. People over 55 are the fastest growing group of unhoused Californians. capitalandmain.com/seventy-evicte…
Unallocated, one-time funding will be frozen if it meets the following criteria: ✅ From the General Fund ✅ Not encumbered ✅ Value exceeds $1 million ✅ Not related to Prop. 98 ✅ Not related to an emergency ✅ Not related to a specified state capital outlay project
Public budgets are a statement of our values… If we value the people, we have to invest in them.

#CABudget Update: This week, state leaders took two steps to advance their April "early action" deal to close the sizeable state budget shortfall: 1⃣ Gov. Newsom signed AB 106, which reduces the deficit by $1.6 billion by adjusting spending in the 2022 and 2023 Budget Acts.
The #CABudget "freeze" is now official, per a DOF letter issued today. We still don't know exactly which funds from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Budget Acts will be frozen, but departments must "immediately" freeze any funds that meet the criteria. #CALeg dof.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…
A great article from @PublicityAgents, which highlights Policy Insights’ luncheon plenary, Policy Pathways to Reparations.
Stakeholders Discuss Reparations for Black Californians as State Faces Deep Budget Cuts, via @SacObserver “Don’t let the legislature or the governor off the hook,” Bryan said. #CALeg #PolicyInsights24 sacobserver.com/2024/04/stakeh…
Carpool with partners after an amazing day last week connecting with allies in equity with @CalBudgetCenter! Our work together can push forward reparations, social safety net policies & the use of CA's wealth for the benefit of our children and everyone! @First5LA @CCAllianceLA
Continuous access to health care is necessary for everyone to be healthy and thrive. State policymakers can take additional steps to make sure people can access and maintain their Medi-Cal coverage. #caleg #cabudget calbudgetcenter.org/resources/medi…
.@AsmCoreyJackson TY for a great hearing today! Here’s @CalBudgetCenter doc that shows $70 billion in tax breaks to richest corps/individuals. They don’t need it but #childcare providers & fams do! #childcare4all #taxtherich calbudgetcenter.org/resources/cali…
“There is a need for persistence not only at a county level but at a state level to ensure equity is fully funded and protected,” Jonathan Kaplan from @CalBudgetCenter 💯💯
“We must ensure that our child care providers not only have a livable wage but a profession wage,” Maéva Marc from @kidango 💸💯
Important remarks from @esaucedo9 at today's Asm Hearing 🎙️ "Overall, for child care programs, 89% of children eligible for child care are not receiving services, meaning many of these families may be spending over half of their income on child care alone"
Facts Matter! Crime in California Remains Well Below Historical Peaks: eepurl.com/iOF0RI Thanks @CalBudgetCenter @SHGraves29
CCPU Member Nancy Harvey shared how the lack of affordable child care in California impacts the community she serves as owner of Li’l Nancy’s Primary Schoolhouse in Oakland, as well as family child care providers. She said the State must work toward bettering #ChildCareForAll!
Affordable child care is critical for supporting California’s families. ⚡ Our workshop speakers explore policy solutions that can expand child care access to thousands more children and families. #PolicyInsights24
As state leaders consider ways to make progress for Californians in a tough #CAbudget year, let's make sure changes to CalWORKs are helping, not hurting, families More here: calbudgetcenter.org/resources/calw…
@CalBudgetCenter @MLSaucedo breaks down how California still has Gingrich-Wilson failed, punitive policies on the books, and the major opportunity to #ReimagineCalWORKs through new #TANF pilots 👏🌟

Update: The bill that would eliminate the state tax break on second home mortgage interest and redirect these funds to affordable housing programs passed Asm Rev & Tax committee! 👏 @kaylakitson provides an excellent overview of why reforming this inequitable policy is huge ⬇️
On Monday, the Assembly Rev & Tax committee will hear a bill that would eliminate the state tax break for mortgage interest on vacation homes, which would be a small but important step toward making the state’s tax system more fair. 🧵
As we at @CalBudgetCenter have noted before, the entire mortgage interest deduction costs the state several billion dollars a year, is unlikely to increase homeownership, and is ripe for reform to reduce state costs and better target it to people who need housing assistance.
Getting rid of the deduction for vacation homes wouldn’t fix all the inequities in the MID, but it should be a no-brainer that the state doesn’t need to be subsidizing people’s vacation homes.
Eliminating the deduction for second homes would raise state revenues by around $100-200M annually, allowing the state to reinvest that in affordable housing programs.
The committee analysis further notes: “It would take over 18 years for a single filer and over nine years for a joint filer receiving a yearly renter tax credit to net even one year of the $1,100 housing tax benefit the average second home owner receives via the MID.” 🤯🤯
The tax break for vacation homes also exacerbates racial income and wealth gaps. White families nationwide are more than twice as likely to hold additional residential real estate as Latinx families and more than 1.5 times as likely as Black families. federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/da…
