May Revise Statement
"Once again, California is leading the nation by growing our economy as we invest in our schools, critical infrastructure like our roads and transit systems, and the social safety net for our most vulnerable residents. Building more affordable housing in San Francisco and our state is my top priority, and I'm encouraged to see a $400 million investment from cap-and-trade funds towards this goal.
"I'm also pleased that this budget will fund critical healthcare services for immigrants who qualify for President Obama's deferred action programs. I'm heartened that the Governor has allocated an initial $5 million for application assistance for residents eligible under these programs - a request that the Asian Pacific Islander, Latino and Black Legislative Caucuses have advocated for together.
