We bring you a crucial update on Governor Newsom's budget proposal for 2024-25, which directly impacts our ability to build and repair homes. The proposed claw-back of $152.5M in funding allocated for the CalHome program poses a significant challenge for us and many other California Habitat for Humanity affiliates.
The City of Temecula, recently took a remarkable step to support our cause. Councilmember Zak Schwank and City Clerk/Legislative Director Randi Johl attended Advocacy Day, becoming the first local elected officials to join us at this annual event. Not only did they speak on our behalf in Sacramento, but they also went above and beyond by requesting Mayor James Stewart to send an official letter to Governor Newsom, urging the reinstatement of CalHome funds.
