CSAC statement on Joint Legislative Budget Proposal

Sacramento, CA — California State Association of Counties (CSAC) CEO Graham Knaus issued the following statement after legislative Democrats released a joint Senate-Assembly budget proposal:

“We recognize many lawmakers in both houses and both parties who worked to put homelessness and Proposition 36 funding in the budget after the May Revision left both out entirely. But Californians have been clear about their priorities, and they won’t accept half measures. Without sufficient and reliable funding, the state’s homelessness strategy and implementation of Prop 36 will fail.”
