CCDC voted to endorse Assembly Bill 1816. The state budget isn't final yet! You can still call your reps with support for funding and for AB 1816!" Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Los Angeles) introduced Assembly Bill 1816 to allocate $200 million to launch a broader program than what the state currently offers and bolster long-term housing options for formerly incarcerated people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The program would also help connect tenants to other services such as job training, mental health care and addiction treatment.The state budget finalized last month didn’t include money for AB 1816, even though California has a record-high surplus of $100 billion-plus. Bryan said he’s still fighting to get the funding.“This is a population that we can all agree is vulnerable to falling into the streets.

And we have tried that before.”"www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-08-02/californians-criminal-records-face-housing-barriers?f... ... See MoreSee Less
