CA is on the verge of launching a trauma-informed response system for foster youth and their caregivers but the #CABudget would eliminate implementation of this overdue support system. #RestoreFURS @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @SenHJMitchell @AsmPhilTing@DrPanMD @drarambulaAD31
FURS will be a lifeline for current & former foster youth and those who care for them. Defunding the program in the midst of #COVID19 is shortsighted. #CALeg needs to #RestoreFURS in the #CABudget @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @SenHJMitchell @AsmPhilTing@DrPanMD @drarambulaAD31
Caregivers and youth in foster care need immediate access to 24/7 support, especially during #COVID19. #RestoreFURS in the #CABudget to help youth heal from trauma and support their caregivers. @Rendon63rd @SenToniAtkins @SenHJMitchell @AsmPhilTing@DrPanMD @drarambulaAD31
The #MayRevise proposes to eliminate the majority of funding for the Expanded Subsidized Employment program — throwing thousands out of work and harming small employers at the worst time. #CALeg: restore ESE in the #CABudget! #ESEWorksforCA
Expanded Subsidized Employment is a proven launchpad into the workforce for Californians transitioning off CalWORKs — an important support for the families with children struggling the most right now. #ESEWorksforCA#CABudget#MayRevise@LACo_DPSS
Subsidized employment is an effective anti-recession strategy — helping Californians transition from welfare to work and boosting hundreds of small employers by helping them pay wages. LA businesses share how important ESE is ⬇️ #ESEWorksforCA#CAbudget#MayRevise@LACo_DPSS
Local revenues that support vulnerable children and older adults are declining at the worst possible time - when economic concerns are adding stress to families and isolation creates conditions where neglect and abuse can flourish.
Abused and neglected children and older adults are imperiled by sharply declining revenues that support child welfare and adult protective services. Protecting youth and fragile adults means #CAbudget state funds must bolster these crucial programs.
