The 2023-24 Budget: Overview of the Spending Plan (Final Version)
Housing and Homelessness
Significant, Prior‑Year Funding Augmentations Generally Maintained. Previously enacted budgets authorized significant, albeit primarily one‑time and temporary, funding for housing and homelessness, including authorizing some spending actions for 2023‑24. The 2023‑24 Budget Act largely maintains those spending actions. During the 2023‑24 budget process, the Governor proposed $367.5 million in spending reductions for various primarily homeownership‑related programs. The Legislature largely rejected those spending cuts and instead adopted $67.6 million in General Fund spending reductions for the Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD’s) CalHome Program ($50 million) and the Downtown Rebound Program ($17.5 million). The budget also achieves budget‑year savings through the delay of $345 million previously allocated to HCD’s Foreclosure Intervention Housing Preservation Program (this spending will instead be spent over several years through 2026‑27). Finally, the 2023‑24 budget authorizes an increase of $100 million in one‑time General Fund spending for HCD’s Multi‑Family Housing Program and continues the recent practice of providing an additional $500 million for the state Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit Program. (Because these credits would not be claimed until the housing units are complete, the General Fund impact of these tax credits will occur in a few years.) As most of the recently authorized housing and homelessness budget actions have been temporary or one time in nature, most of that funding is set to expire soon. 
Budget‑Related Legislation Increases Oversight and Accountability. The 2023‑24 budget included budget‑related legislation aimed to increase oversight and accountability of the state’s housing and homelessness programs. At a high level, this legislation makes the receipt of Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program funding contingent on the creation of, and adherence to, a regionally coordinated homelessness action plan. It requires each plan to coordinate homelessness funding and services across the region, assign specific roles and responsibilities to each party to the plan, and set forth key actions that each party will take to reduce and prevent homelessness. 
Appendix
The 2022-23 Budget: The Governor’s Homelessness Plan
The main outcome in the report is related to the destination of people after they exited HHAPP‑funded projects. There were 2,000 recorded exits from HHAPP‑funded projects. Exits to unsheltered homelessness accounted for 26 percent (530 people) of all exits types reported. Exits to permanent housing destinations accounted for 22 percent (457 people) of all exits. People also exited to temporary living situations (18 percent, or 375 people). A large portion of individuals served in HHAPP‑funded projects exited to unknown destinations (18 percent, or 359 people). Finally, institutional settings (4 percent or 88 people) and other destinations (12 percent, or 246 people) accounted for the remaining reported exists. 

 The 2021 annual progress report, which would provide updates on HHAPP Round 1 and Round 2, is not yet available. As shown in Figure 5, while the allocation methodology was the same for HHAPP Round 1 and Round 2, the total allocation amount for Round 2 was less than half the amount available in Round 1.
Project Roomkey 
Emergence of COVID‑19 Significantly Altered State’s Response to Homelessness. In March 2020, the state had authorized $1.15 billion in flexible aid to local entities (through HEAP and HHAPP Round 1). However, the state modified its approach as part of an amendment to the 2019‑20 budget following the emergence of COVID‑19 given the immediate need to prevent the spread of COVID‑19 among people experiencing homelessness and at risk of homelessness. 
Emergency Action Established Project Roomkey to Address Immediate Housing Needs During Pandemic. At the outset of the COVID‑19 public health emergency, the state provided $50 million General Fund (later offset by federal funds) for the newly established Project Roomkey administered by the Department of Social Services (DSS). The program helped local governments lease hotels and motels to provide immediate housing to vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness that were at risk of contracting COVID‑19. The goal of this effort was to provide non‑congregate shelter options for people experiencing homelessness, to protect public health, and to minimize strain on the state’s health care system.

2001 Budget Analysis:Employment Development Department
Federal Welfare-to-Work Block Grant Program 
California received $367.6 million in Welfare-to-Work block grant funds from the Department of Labor. Recent federal legislation extended the deadline
for expending Welfare-to-Work funds from July 2002 until July 2004. 
Background. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Act) authorized the federal Department of Labor (DOL) to provide Welfare-to-Work grants to states and local
communities. The Welfare-to-Work program was largely intended to complement the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program by providing
additional assistance to hard-to-employ TANF recipients who had specific barriers to employment. States must provide a $1 match for every $2 of
Welfare-to-Work grant funds awarded. To date, matching funds have been budgeted in the Department of Social Services.
Initial Conditions of the DOL Grants. California received $367.6 million from the Department of Labor in two allocations. The state was required to allocate,
by formula, 85 percent of the funds to local Workforce Investment Boards (formerly known as Private Industry Councils [PICs]). The remaining 15 percent was
used for state administration and a competitive grant program. In 1998, California allocated $161.9 million to local boards. In 1999, an additional
$150.6 million was allocated. Under the original provisions of the Act, California had three years to expend the federal funds and the necessary state match.
California's Spending Rate. As of September 30, 2000, California spent a total of $91.5 million of the first grant, about 57 percent. Only 7.9 percent of the
second-year grant has been expended. The expenditure rate varies widely among local areas.
Extension of Spending Deadline. The Department of Labor Appropriations Act (P.L. 106-554) extended the deadline for expending Welfare-to-Work funds.
Specifically, the act extends the availability of Welfare-to-Work funding from three to five years from the original start date. This means that the first-year
grant's deadline is now extended to June 2003.
Bill Text - AB-132 Postsecondary education trailer bill.

	governors, in consultation with students, faculty, and other key stakeholders, shall consider all of the following in the development and adoption of minimum academic and progress standards pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1):(i) Minimum uniform academic and progress standards that do not unfairly disadvantage financially needy students in pursuing their education.(ii) Criteria for reviewing extenuating circumstances and granting appeals that, at a minimum, take into account and do not penalize a student for circumstances outside the student’s control, such as reductions in student support services or changes to the economic situation of the student.(iii) A process for reestablishing fee waiver eligibility that provides a student with a reasonable opportunity to continue or resume the student’s
	enrollment at a community college.(B) To ensure that students are not unfairly impacted by the requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), the board of governors shall establish a reasonable implementation period that commences no sooner than one year from adoption of the minimum academic and progress standards, or any subsequent changes to these standards, pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) and that is phased in to provide students adequate notification of this requirement and information about available support resources.(3) It is the intent of the Legislature that minimum academic and progress standards adopted pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) be implemented only as campuses develop and implement the student support services and interventions necessary to ensure no disproportionate impact to students based on ethnicity, gender, disability, or
	socioeconomic status.
