On Thursday, the California Legislature approved the 2019-20 State Budget (Assembly Bill 74), which includes the bulk of the appropriations for the coming fiscal year. It should be noted that as it stands, the State Budget Package is incomplete – there are nearly two dozen budget trailer bills on a variety of subjects that have yet to be finalized and considered by the Legislature. These items of importance to RCRC include, but are not limited to, housing, homelessness, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), and safe and affordable drinking water.
