CSAC was honored to recognize Senator Anna Caballero as a 2025 Distinguished Service Award recipient during today's Board of Directors meeting. Representing #MercedCounty, #MaderaCounty, and #FresnoCounty, she is a fierce advocate for safeguarding California’s water and counties statewide.

Cutting HHAP funding in half will undo years of progress reducing homelessness across California.
CSAC, CalCities, CA Big City Mayors, and Bring CA Home are calling on the Governor and Legislature to restore HHAP to $1B and protect what’s working.

Voters across all 58 counties backed Proposition 36.

Senator Blakespear's remarks reinforce the state’s responsibility to ensure counties have the resources needed to carry out the measure.

Senator Menjivar is disappointed with the January #CABudget proposal.

So are we.

The burdens created by H.R. 1 demand strong solutions at the state level. #CALeg

Thank you, @senatorcabaldon.bsky.social, for addressing the real-world impacts of unpredictable state funding.

Counties provide frontline homelessness services but can’t succeed without promised HHAP funding.

#cabudget #caleg

The social safety net was already hanging on by a thread, and H.R. 1 sends it into a free-fall.

Thank you, @asmpilarschiavo.bsky.social, for raising the alarm on the January Budget Proposal's failure to acknowledge the impact of H.R. 1 on counties.

#cabudget #caleg

Thank you for elevating county concerns on H.R. 1, @asmcoreyjackson.bsky.social.

Counties face billions in added Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and indigent care costs under this bill.

We can’t shoulder this alone — without state support, the safety net is at serious risk.

Yesterday, CSAC held our first Executive Committee meeting of 2026 — aligning on priorities that elevate county voices. Members connected directly with CA Dept. of Finance Director Joe Stephenshaw to discuss the #CAbudget proposal and its dire impacts on #CACounties.

Counties attract talent by stressing public service appeal Whether they’re up in the mountains or surrounded by millions of potential job candidates, counties face challenges recruiting talent to enter the public sector job market.

Recruiting employees is always a challenge for counties, especially rural ones. Here's how #MonoCounty in California's northeastern corner is finding success. #CountyStrong
