The County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA) continues to urge the Legislature to maintain funding for critical county-administered housing and homelessness programs, including Bringing Families Home (BFH), Home Safe, the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) Housing Support Program (HSP), and the Housing and Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP). We understand May Revise presents challenges to either continue funding or to fund augmented levels of these programs. However, these programs are needed now more than ever, as California faces difficult decisions of reducing safety net programs to address the budget shortfall, and in light of likely federal actions that will further jeopardize the lives of our most vulnerable Californians. Please read more in the attached memo.
