    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.

  • 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.

  • OFFICE of the CITY MANAGER February 23
    OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER February 23, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Alan Tandy, City Manager AT SUBJECT: General Information Notable Items On Wednesday of this past week, a press conference was held at the State Capitol to announce the introduction of AB 3171 (Ting). This legislation comes after the Mayors of California’s eleven largest cities (known as the Big 11) sent a letter to legislative leaders in early February requesting state funding to assist cities with the growing issue of homelessness. This legislation is designed to utilize a portion of the state’s current budget surplus to provide one-time funding to cities in California to assist them with combatting homelessness. Several Mayors from the Big 11 and legislators participated in the press conference which emphasized the importance of state action to help address this statewide crisis. Both the letter and the press release are attached. The Big 11 includes: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, Anaheim and Santa Ana. The Recreation and Parks department is moving along in their effort to replant approximately 2000 trees across the city. See below for some photos of the latest plantings on Baker St. Last week Friday, city and contract crews completed work on repairing the sinkhole and other line work at Harris & Ashe. Tremendous thanks goes to the Public Works Department and their staff for their quick action and non-stop efforts to remediate the issue!

  • Wrote to Governor Gavin Newsom Detailing Their
    May 12, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Building, 1st Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom, We applaud your leadership during this intensely challenging time. In addition to the many life- or-death decisions made regarding health matters, you and your team are tackling a historic budget deficit, wrought by the economic fallout from this pandemic. As we all know too well, the weeks ahead require painful cuts and gut-wrenching trade-offs. We seek to continue to work collaboratively with you and your team as you navigate these perilous waters to make difficult decisions in this moment of budgetary scarcity. In a spirit of collaboration, we offer our top priorities for this year’s budget. First, we seek to ensure that all cities over 300,000 in population obtain a full and fair allocation of federal CARES Act funding, to compensate for the unprecedented emergency efforts undertaken to address the pandemic in our communities. As we’re learning from FEMA, many of those efforts—such as provision of millions of meals daily for our needy families struggling without a paycheck—may go unreimbursed. Although six of our cities—all having more than 500,000 residents–have received a direct allocation provided by the legislation, seven of California’s largest 13 cities remain left behind. We seek that the State of California provide a reasonable distribution of its Federal allocation Coronavirus Relief Fund dollars to Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Riverside, and Stockton for eligible pandemic- related expenditures. Second, consistent with your longstanding commitment to reduce homelessness, we seek to sustain previous direct allocations of funding to cities and counties that enable a flexible and nimble response to our homelessness crisis.
