CSAC Says Newsom's May Revision Fails Families, Burdens Communities

The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) has condemned Governor Newsom's May Revision of the state budget, arguing it fails to adequately fund critical services. - The proposal funds only 5% of counties' request for H.R.

1-related harm reduction. - It retains a $233.6 million cost shift for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) to counties.

- No new funding is provided for Proposition 36 implementation. - Homelessness funding is cut by 50%, with only $500 million allocated for 2026-27.

CSAC warns that the budget will lead to more children going hungry, families losing healthcare, and local hospitals being pushed to the breaking point.
