State Budget Cuts Will Impact Homelessness and Foster-Care Homes



(from Housing CA) On January 8, 2010, Governor Schwarzenegger released his proposed 2010-2011 budget. Schwarzenegger proposes $8.5 billion in cuts, $6.9 billion in federal relief, and $4.5 billion in revenue shifts to address the state's $19.9 billion shortfall.

The governor then called an immediate special session of the legislature on the current-year budget due to fiscal emergency.
