Struggling Californians are on their own. That’s the message the Governor’s #MayRevision sends communities throughout California – on H.R. 1, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), homelessness funding and Proposition 36.

The Governor says Washington is abandoning California communities. His #MayRevision does the same thing here at home. More than a million Californians could lose healthcare. Hundreds of thousands could lose food support. #CABudget

The following statement in response to the Governor's May Revision can be attributed to CSAC, @RuralCounties, @countiesurban, @CHEAC, CMSP, @CAPHSystems, @CWDA_CA, and CBHDA:

In #VenturaCounty to talk through some of the biggest issues facing counties right now, including HR1, the May Budget Revise, & the fast-moving sprint toward the June 15 constitutional deadline to pass a state budget. Thank you to @CountyVentura for the thoughtful conversation!

Another memorable #WIRConference is in the books! County leaders from across the West gathered for discussions on wildfire recovery, resilience, water infrastructure and disaster response. Congrats to Supervisor Ned Coe on being elected WIR Second Vice President!

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing AB 108, an important step to help stabilize hospitals. But we’re not out of the woods yet. Public hospitals face major challenges from H.R. 1, and state investment is critical to preventing hospital closures and protecting the safety net.

The following statement in response to the California Assembly Budget Framework can be attributed to CSAC, @RuralCounties, @countiesurban, @CHEAC, CMSP, @CAPHSystems, @CWDA_CA, and CBHDA:

Nearly 40,000 @StanCounty residents could lose Medi-Cal coverage under H.R. 1’s new work requirements. County eligibility workers will be tasked with implementing these complex new rules, while trying to keep eligible Californians enrolled. Read more in the @modbee.

Public service is about helping people. Counties are the safety net that keeps millions of Californians healthy and strong. Thank you to the dedicated county employees who do this work every day. We're honored to recognize you this #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek.

County mobile crisis teams are critical first responders to behavioral health crises across CA. The Governor's #CABudget plan could undo that, shifting $169M to counties. CSAC urges the #CALeg to reject making this Medi-Cal benefit optional. calmatters.org/health/2026/05…

"When the safety net frays, everyone from emergency room nurses to street outreach workers feel it — the human costs are significant." - @sccounty CEO Nicole D. Coburn Santa Cruz County is joining the county family #CABudget ask to #protectthesafetynet. lookout.co/our-1-29-billi…

Inyo County has just two critical access hospitals — both already strained. H.R. 1 puts its safety net at risk. Counties are united to #ProtectOurSafetyNet. 📸 CSAC presentation at Inyo County Board of Supervisors meeting.

An amazing close to #NCGM! TY @SenDaveCortese and Sen. Mike McGuire for recognizing California’s 58 counties on the Senate floor. CSAC CEO @knaus_counties was joined by CSAC President @supellenberg, 1st VP @supalejo, and Sup. Sabatier to receive the recognition. #CountyStrong 📸 Photos 2-5: California Senate

H.R. 1 would increase county CalFresh eligibility work costs while putting eligible Californians at risk of losing food benefits. Thank you @AsmCoreyJackson for recognizing the county eligibility workforce burden. Counties can't shoulder this alone. #CaBudget

And thank you Sen. @ilike_mike McGuire for the recognition and for being a partner with counties.

Thank you to @SenDaveCortese for recognizing California’s 58 counties on the Senate floor during #CountyGovernmentMonth and for underscoring the importance of protecting counties’ ability to deliver vital services as H.R.1 threatens critical safety-net programs.
