    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.

  • Senate Bill 5 – Housing -- Request for Signature
    September 16, 2019 Governor Gavin Newsom State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Senate Bill 5 – Housing -- Request for Signature Dear Governor Newsom: On behalf of a broad coalition of labor, local government, housing advocates, and business leaders, we ask that you sign Senate Bill 5 (Beall, McGuire, Portantino). SB 5 is the only legislation passed this year that will immediately result in housing being built, particularly for low-income families and those on the brink of homelessness. Senate Bill 5 would create the Affordable Housing and Community Development Program to provide cities and counties the resources they need to help fund the construction of affordable housing, including rental housing, available to very low, low and moderate-income families. This bill would stimulate housing for those particularly vulnerable to homelessness. There is not nearly enough affordable rental housing available to low- and very- low income households. More than 2.2 million extremely low-income and very low-income renter households are competing for only 664,000 affordable rental homes. That leaves more than 1.5 million of California’s lowest-income families without access to housing. SB 5 would tap into the resources of the State and create a state-local partnership to provide ongoing and sustainable funding to local governments to increase the stock of affordable housing. You are to be commended for providing hundreds of millions of dollars in this year’s state budget to help local governments plan for more housing, build emergency shelters and provide services for the homeless. While these one-time revenues are important, we need a dedicated program and ongoing funding to help attack these problems over the long-term.

  • Bakersfield to Move to the American Hockey League Formation of the Pacific Division for 2015-16 Announced
    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER January 30, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council AT FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager /al Subject: General Information Notable Items As we know, the drop in oil prices is being felt here in Kern County, big time. The County expects to lose $61 million in property tax revenue, prompting the Board of Supervisors to declare a fiscal emergency this week. Layoffs have already begun to occur, which will affect the local economy. History teaches us that prices will rise again, however, and we only hope that it happens soon. As previously reported, the Thomas Roads Improvement Program will host a community meeting for the 24th Street Improvement Project on February 4, 2015, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Rabobank Convention Center. This meeting will be held in an open house format, and the public is encouraged to attend at any time during the three-hour period and provide input. Exhibits will be set up in the Convention Center Lobby that will illustrate streetscape concepts, and options for hardscape and plant materials that are appropriate to the region’s climate and neighborhood character. City and Caltrans staff will be available to answer questions. Roland Genick, chief architect for Parsons Transportation Group, will provide a presentation in the Convention Center’s Potato Room at 5:00 p.m. that will focus on initial design concepts. The presentation will be repeated at 6:00 p.m. Free parking will be available in the lot south of (behind) the Convention Center. Bulletins Councilmember Weir hosted a community meeting this past week.

  • Big City Mayors Support Local Economic Development Through
    May 6, 2019 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor Office of the Governor California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Toni Atkins President Pro Tem California State Senate State Capitol, Room 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Anthony Rendon Speaker California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 219 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Support Local Economic Development Through Opportunity Zones Dear Governor Newsom, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Speaker Rendon: As you know, Opportunity Zones were developed as a bipartisan idea that garnered more than 100 co-sponsors in Congress and were later included as part of the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. With the potential to drive private capital to long-overlooked parts of the country, Opportunity Zones are positioned to be an important new community and economic development tool to create an incentive for long-term private investment in urban, suburban and rural communities. California has identified 879 census tracts as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs), representing 4.2 million individuals, or 10.7% of the state population. The State is at a pivotal moment to shape the incentive toward community benefit, and that, if done right, Opportunity Zones can be an important tool that will advance our shared priorities of economic growth, climate resilience, affordability, and access to the California Dream. With that in mind, we urge you to adopt the following strategies: 1. Clear reporting and transparency requirements for OZ funds and projects. The federal legislation creating Opportunity Zones did not include meaningful transparency and reporting requirements. California should require annual reporting from Opportunity Zone investors and Qualified Opportunity Funds.
