During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

We strongly urge you to provide $105 billion to state and local entities to protect those who are unhoused and those on the brink from becoming homeless from COVID-19 through the Emergency Solutions Grant Program and rental assistance programs for low-income individuals and families. There are an estimated 568,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in America, according to the most recent Annual Homelessness Assessment Report to Congress. This includes 171,670 people in families (including children), 35,038 unaccompanied homeless youth, and 96,141 chronically homeless individuals. We are very concerned because our neighbors experiencing homelessness reside in public spaces and congregate in shelters, where they may have higher exposure to the virus. Further, nationally, people experiencing homelessness have more limited access to the preventive measures recommended by the nation’s health authorities, including, social distancing, home isolation, handwashing, avoiding high-touch surfaces and rapid access to health care.

    November 29, 2016 The Honorable Eric Garcetti Mayor of Los Angeles 200 North Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Re: Oil-by-Rail Risks and Interstate Impacts of Tesoro Projects in Los Angeles, California and Vancouver, Washington Dear Mayor Garcetti, As city and county elected officials from the states of Oregon and Washington, we write about a problem common to our communities and Los Angeles: the risks to human health, public safety, and water from increased development of oil infrastructure along the West Coast. We are also members of the Safe Energy Leadership Alliance (SELA), a coalition of more than 165 elected local, Tribal and state leaders from four states and British Columbia advocating for assessment of the full costs and risks of proposals to ship crude oil and coal through our region. We understand that Los Angeles is evaluating the impacts of the Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company’s Los Angeles Refinery Integration and Compliance Project (LARIC) in Carson and Wilmington, California. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are assessing a parallel proposal. Tesoro has proposed North America’s largest oil-by-rail shipping terminal in Vancouver, Washington. From statements made by Tesoro, it appears that the LARIC refinery project is intertwined with Tesoro’s proposed shipping terminal in Vancouver, Washington. Based on your international leadership on environmental issues including climate and health, we know that the health, safety, and environment of your community are top priorities for you as well. We want to share our experience in assessing and addressing the regional risks of crude oil transport by rail and barge.
