In a staff briefing, Sue Amua, deputy director for the service centers branch, said the bill requires states to reinstate work requirements and time limits for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) once federal guidance is issued; Yolo County staff estimated about 5,200 people on CalFresh could be affected. Amua said a separate HR1 provision would sharply restrict eligibility for SNAP for many noncitizen groups who had been eligible, and the county estimated about 420 CalFresh recipients could be affected, removing roughly $86,000 in monthly benefits at current enrollment levels.

Amua also briefed the board on a major shift in CalFresh administrative funding that HR1 would cause: under the new formula the federal share of administrative costs would fall from about 50% to about 25%, with the state and county shares rising; Yolo County staff estimated that, all else equal, local CalFresh administration could see a loss of about $4 million in federal/state funding.

On Medi-Cal, county staff said the state plans to stop enrolling undocumented adults 19 and over into full-scope coverage beginning in January 2026 and to remove dental benefits for some grandfathered noncitizens in July 2026. Staff said HR1 also restricts access to federal Medicaid coverage for some noncitizen groups as of October 2026, and the county estimated roughly 520 Medi-Cal recipients could be affected. County staff said that, beginning in July 2027, the state is planning to require a $30 monthly premium for certain limited-scope beneficiaries in the 19-59 age range, affecting an estimated 3,200 recipients in Yolo County.

Staff cautioned that these changes will likely increase emergency-room usage, homelessness risk and unmet behavioral-health needs, and that the county has limited budget flexibility to backfill large gaps. Supervisors and public commenters urged the county to pursue state and federal advocacy and to coordinate with community partners, food banks and clinics to plan local responses. County staff said they are monitoring guidance and plan to return with additional impact analyses and recommendations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Yolo County - Board of Supervisors","oneSentenceSummary","Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency staff briefed the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9 about likely local consequences of the federal HR1 bill for Medi-Cal, CalFresh and county safety-net operations, noting many details await federal and state guidance.","taxTitle","Yolo County, California","taxId",4567,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474280,"Yolo County faces $4 million structural MHSA shortfall as BHSA rules shift funding toward housing",4811,5255000,10066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed&start=5255&end=10066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed/thumbnail_5255000.jpg","/articles/6474280/Yolo-County/California/Yolo-County-faces-4-million-structural-MHSA-shortfall-as-BHSA-rules-shift-funding-toward-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474280-28bbc605e4638f8aef0e1212d7822970/orig.mp4?Expires=1770458265&Signature=oHf0BtQgAbnULbxONCUqzHiCFEkI~6btq4dJ7acCop9M0NPyH~hn7eteuJd3F1RKn6U0PjTm7pnoCYIXQ5kgIuw1w6zuNJxr~wcoorR6Fc30OMjAqShgZ-oxTpgnmkuG~Js7jnl8a389OI9YVlBpxH-OowJB0IBOxAFG1HVjbsUQrWeGp6P3IN730BPhncLBCbI3zFC7LISS8dVyJpQXN43yMKvUtWMCr1Ft8j898wlOXk5i~DnUBMU3PiIzrYyDOGEw-4psw5bXPVzrP-ze141Jlb9vkwzF5yUbs-V2aiJ9g6jIwGj0TrZrUMs9BbFbSOxYD1-hdZMQ9F-iA19kug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Yolo County officials told the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9 that changes tied to California's transition from the Mental Health Services Act to the Behavioral Health Services Act and new state direction under Proposition 1 will leave the county with a structural shortfall in MHSA-funded programs.

Tamoni Camarales, interim behavioral health director, and other Health and Human Services Agency staff said the county arrived at an estimated structural deficit of about $4 million for fiscal 2025-26 after in-house reorganizations and other adjustments cut an earlier $11.4 million gap. Staff cautioned the shortfall could grow by roughly another $5 million in 2026-27 after state-required shifts that direct about 30% of local MHSA revenue to housing interventions under BHSA.

Health agency staff described what they called three example scenarios to reduce spending: (1) internal program cuts that would scale back county-run prevention and outreach work, (2) reductions to external MHSA contracts with nonprofit and hospital partners, and (3) a combined approach. Staff said full mitigation would require action akin to scenario 3 and stressed they would not exhaust all fund balances without board direction. Among actions already taken earlier this year, staff said the county brought a roughly $5.6 million Hope Cooperative full-service partnership contract in-house and reassigned staff to preserve services while retaining Medi-Cal revenue.

Staff warned the county must comply with new BHSA priorities that emphasize treatment for Medi-Cal beneficiaries, maximize Medi-Cal reimbursement, and dedicate 30% of funds to housing interventions. Under the state guidance described by staff, housing investments must prioritize chronically homeless individuals and full-service-partnership clients. The state has also moved workforce and prevention functions into separate state-administered pots of funding, staff said.

Board members and more than a dozen public commenters pressed for more data before any cuts are finalized and urged longer runways for school-based mental-health partnerships and community programs. Speakers included representatives of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Yolo (NAMI), Help Me Grow Yolo, CommuniCare and school-district leaders, who said cutting the K-12 partnership or Help Me Grow would disrupt services while schools and nonprofits build Medi-Cal billing capacity.

Staff proposed a timeline that would bring a proposed budget resolution and final guidance to the board in October, begin a 30-day public-comment period on the annual plan in November, and transmit a final county BHSA plan to the state by March 31, 2026. County staff said they would return Sept. 23 for initial direction and again Oct. 7 with a draft budget resolution for board consideration.","County staff told the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9 that the Mental Health Services Act budget faces an estimated $4 million structural deficit for fiscal 2025-26 and warned of further shortfalls as California moves funding under the Behavioral Health Services Act toward housing and treatment mandates.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474285,"Yolo County IHSS advisory committee urges staffing, legislative advocacy as caseloads rise",1674,3527000,5201000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed&start=3527&end=5201","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed/thumbnail_3527000.jpg","/articles/6474285/Yolo-County/California/Yolo-County-IHSS-advisory-committee-urges-staffing-legislative-advocacy-as-caseloads-rise","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474285-0ea13b6c88dd24e0e7e468c4f8bea90d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770458265&Signature=k8hJwDd9GKxRUKNzF11T0rKZRMMljl1zXISyuaLFPrWVHgPKA-3uyYl2UqPR7uNCG7Px3Qztfqb5OK3L7qnfLElJjaFHFR~Cu5nq72q4nbhkj4D6yXNHuBe5AOxCiwqAymyvljbV9LE6DTQ~GZ9l7f8ikdQQWAirz9Xpc8Q7G7m4V3n9u3J64wPrdlHUHO1ytdfIRZAiAozG4SHFWSPi4-qtj9hmmNmaUWZOJ-OvJJq4iOyWWnKaNC69PlqxuLyjCmd8pd2EQOEZfQ6vUg5twIixj6wivlf5niM3m7Z26z9cjSRj4w9mhKvtLHWZMcVe-foJzzNwqFkcCaS-Hf2e~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yolo County In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee told the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9 that the program's caseload and provider registry have grown significantly and that staff shortages and federal and state policy risks require immediate board attention.

The committee\u0000chair, Kate Ladysch, and vice chair Steve Streeter presented figures showing more than 3,700 IHSS consumers and nearly 3,700 providers, with about 7,500 people either receiving or providing care through IHSS — an increase of 559 consumers in the last year and more than 1,800 in five years. Ladysch said the public-authority registry filled 914 new providers in the last year and completed over 1,100 registry referrals.

The advisory committee emphasized three board actions it said would reduce risk to clients and staff: fund a senior administrative services analyst and other vacant IHSS positions in the county budget; advocate to state and federal lawmakers to protect IHSS and Medicaid funding; and back Brown Act modernization allowing advisory bodies to meet virtually. The committee said filling vacant positions would help reduce case-processing delays that can trigger state penalties.

Committee members described other ongoing efforts: distributing more than 85,000 pieces of personal protective equipment, piloting Home Care Now urgent-need services, issuing emergency \"go bags,\" expanding outreach and public education, and producing IHSS 101 informational segments. Ladysch noted the committee\u0000which includes consumers, providers and community members\u0000conducts monthly meetings, legislative advocacy and public outreach and called for help recruiting four more consumer members and one community member for the committee.

Supervisor Sheila Allen and others praised the committee's advocacy and asked staff about joining provider organizations to recruit more members. IHSS and public-authority staff said they already invite SEIU representatives to meetings and will collaborate further on membership recruitment. County administrative staff described the hiring-review and waiver process currently used to fill vacant positions and said decisions will be made in the context of the adopted county budget.

The board voted to receive the committee\u0000report.

The committee requested a follow-up schedule and offered to provide legislative contacts and additional data to inform the board's budget and advocacy work.","The county\u0000In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Advisory Committee reported rising consumer and provider numbers and asked the Board of Supervisors to fund vacant IHSS positions, advocate at state and federal levels, and support teleconference flexibility for advisory bodies.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":44,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474271,"Yolo County, Davis and UC Davis expand Hate Free Together partnership; strategic plan process begins",1147,14403000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed&start=14403&end=15550","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742239-5972bdb1b3ca0415c0b249c386bfa4ed/thumbnail_14403000.jpg","/articles/6474271/Yolo-County/California/Yolo-County-Davis-and-UC-Davis-expand-Hate-Free-Together-partnership-strategic-plan-process-begins","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474271-fa5adcc74a467c058d4dd74cc4479292/orig.mp4?Expires=1770458265&Signature=Wzj-QVR3SjhNXzJ7W-dLrHjHBWoWrZZd8tAP6r~PIyU0F2ebMlVVezyXl9LS7QuMoG1M9k8DIEGCMukaQZs2iJSfbtRMp0VOUWdaz64UWSSQdPhVvXsvWPH2MdUVDj73B3VAT7R9KYGcP~1~q7zgxoBsRnNYB3HOSx7cm6PJASm6-dCPY3xKxMRIOIxJNQd3CwxXaCHCgulifuPc4Fm40IvYCkElzznbdtPXmvcNJ9SW-N0fCxipPq6bbTZbVO9lYFDvLnylerMdoF82apltMXLd2KdpfPwSibpxHe0Cnkq5Q23rHB3UPmN~u5Un2yQF62HyVy6WdAt1F4u5IBcAGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Yolo County officials told the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 9 that the Hate Free Together partnership\u0000a collaboration among Yolo County, the City of Davis and the University of California, Davis\u0000has broadened outreach and will begin a formal strategic-planning process to expand the effort across the county.

Laura Galindo, Yolo County interim public information officer, described the initiative's origins in pandemic-era collaborations and said the Hate Free Together website now provides centralized reporting links, resources for victims, educational material and a calendar of community events. Davis community-engagement director Jenny Tan outlined 2024 outreach: the partnership attended local festivals, hosted neighborhood listening sessions, and convened bimonthly stakeholder meetings attended by 20 to 40 representatives from nonprofits, faith groups and other local organizations.

Tan and partners described a 2024 California Arts Council award managed by the City of Davis, a $300,000 Creative Corps grant used to fund five artist projects that convened theater, podcasts and neighborhood engagements addressing inclusion and social justice. The partners said the work produced measurable local engagement: about 2,000 community attendees at events and 29% of survey respondents reporting increased awareness of social-justice issues after events.

The partnership awarded a consulting contract to Yolo Conflict Resolution Center to lead a multi-stage process of focus groups and a countywide summit and to produce a three-to-five-year strategic plan for Hate Free Together. The plan will lay out recommended priorities for local governments, school districts and nonprofit partners and is expected to be drafted through 2026.

Board members and staff said they would work with other cities and school districts in Yolo County to expand the initiative countywide.","County, city and UC Davis leaders reported progress on \"Hate Free Together,\" a joint initiative to reduce hate and improve belonging.

Ryan Pistacchini, director of general services, told the board the runway has not had full rehabilitation in many years and is rated in \"fair\" condition. He said the county also needs a pavement-management plan to inventory and prioritize upkeep of aprons, taxiways and other aircraft travel surfaces. Both studies are prerequisite steps to larger federally funded construction grants.

Pistacchini said the FAA awards cover roughly 90–95% of project costs and Caltrans typically provides a 5% match on FAA-funded projects; after state and federal contributions the county's expected contribution would be just over $10,000, paid from airport funds. The board approved a motion to accept the federal awards and to authorize the director to work with Caltrans to secure the matching funds and to complete grant paperwork.

Pistacchini said the county has pursued housekeeping changes at the airport over the past year, including a rents-and-leases market study for county-owned hangars, repairs to the base-era water system that supplies hydrants and drinking water, and completion of annual inspections by Caltrans and the Transportation Security Administration. He said the county is also seeking to bring the airport's rents and fees in line with peer airports to reduce the general-fund subsidy that covers some airport costs.

Gary Pelfrey, chair of the airport's Aviation Advisory Committee and vice president of a local aviation services business, spoke in support of the projects and described private-sector demand for aircraft maintenance, training and aviation services at Yolo County Airport.","The Board of Supervisors authorized acceptance of two Federal Aviation Administration grants to design runway rehabilitation and conduct a pavement management study at Yolo County Airport; the grants will cover the majority of costs and leave a small county match estimated just over $10,000.","actionData","errors"]
