Alissa harrington, ktvu fox 2 news. Governor newsom minutes away from holding a News Conference. As soon as it gets underway people go to sacramento live. The governor signed a 202 budget that contained 11 billion in spending cuts. The budget affects state workers salaries, the court system, public colleges and universities. The budget went from a 6 billion surplus back in january 254 billion deficit due to the economic in kent packed of the pandemic. The spending would be restored to federal Financial Assistance comes through by november 15th. Teachers and students and Frontline Health workers and cities workers are protesting proposed state budget cuts. In San Francisco there was a car caravan and banding lawmakers and the governor taxed the privilege to solve the state budget problems and calling for a budget that supports communities of color and vulnerable groups. As california struggles under the pressures of the pandemic, racism. Governor newsom stepping up to the microphone. Lets listen in. Also, we will address some of the challenges and before the pandemic was defined for the crisis in the state. We have not taken our eye off the ball focusing with intentionality on addressing the needs of the most vulnerable californians. Particularly those on the streets and sidewalks. So many struggling with physical disabilities. Someone is struggling with emotional disabilities. Many, selfmedicating, drug or alcohol, schizophrenia, paranoia. Many families torn asunder because of the inability to pay rent. Others, through no fault of their own, a victim of circumstances. And up on streets and in shelters large and small all across the state of california. That issue has always been top of mind in terms of our administration and approach. The state of california takes ownership in the state has failed to address the issue of homelessness in a meaningful way. We made a commitment to you over one year ago that we were going to engage in ways we had not in the past to help support counties and cities large and small. To address the stresses and the challenges that they face as it relates to addressing the issue of poverty in all its forms and manifestations and primarily as it issues to homelessness. We recognize it was not just about money. We needed a more resourceful mindset in terms of addressing the issue. That required us to take a different approach and framework of collaboration. Accordingly, i set forth in the beginning of this year, my state of the state and i took the entire state of the state address and made it about homelessness. Issues related to homelessness. Brain health and Mental Health and broadly defined, taking a look back in our history. Oupa where we wanted to take the state in the future. We made some bold commitments and no sooner did we make the commitments than we started to address the issues of this pandemic pandemic. Repatriation flights into the state of california, a cruise ship off the coast of california into the San Francisco bay area, into the open port. And obviously, a pandemic that transcends the borders here in this state and our nation and the rest of the world. Nonetheless, we worked collaboratively through this crisis to again focus with intention on the needs of our most vulnerable californians and despite the headwinds and changing circumstances we were resolved and committed to figuring out a different strategy. A new way to produce real results. Everyone said the future is not just something you experience, it is something that manifests. Its our decisions, not conditions that determine our fate and we make new decisions based on changing conditions and we originated a program, first in the nation. Its called project room key. Working with federal partners and fema primarily to address our approach to this pandemic, we recognized needed to do much more to address our most most vulnerable californians out in this congregate facilities. Out on the streets and sidewalks and in large encampments all across the state. This prospect that the disease would spread to people with Underlying Health conditions, selfevidently presented itself as an opportunity but is a challenge to the state. Accordingly, we work with fema to develop a partnership under partner room key that allowed us to move forward and picture hotel rooms, motel rooms like this here in pittsburgh where we can get people off the streets and out of encampments and out of homeless shelters. Winnebagos or maybe their neighbors couch and get them the privilege of a key in the lock in place to call home or begin to support their recovery and support their return and their opportunity to transfer back with more independence by providing support services. Project room key was more in just a few months ago, remarkably just in april. Here we are a few months later and we reach some significant milestones. We took an idea and a pen to paper and today we have 15,000 679 rooms that we brought in. 15,679 rooms. We estimate 14,200 individuals. The numbers, forgive me for stumbling over the numbers. I could not be more proud of an effort, just in a few months to get 14,200 individuals off the streets and out of encampments and into units like this. 85 of the occupancy for the units we set aside for asymptomatic highrisk Homeless Individuals are now occupied. We are here at the facility with 10031 rooms. Almost every single one occupied with more than 10064 individuals behind the stores, getting support services. Getting three meals a day. Getting support of leaders in their team that embraced the program that is locally driven and the state identifies handset, provides the capacity to get reimbursed from the federal government and get support from the state of california but at the end of the day the program does not work without outstanding vocal officials doing the job. She has done a magnificent job. Supervisor glover and others have been championing her efforts in supporting them and demanding more and demanding people in positions like myself to do better and be more supportive to the counties including contra costa county. So we are proud of the process. We estimate 14,000 people or more are out of conditions that made them vulnerable and he gives us more confidence that we can make a difference and make Real Progress in addressing the issue of homelessness in the state. That is the progress to date on room key. What i want announced today is the progress we made just yesterday. I find the budget to address 53. 4 billion shortfall. I sent yesterday through intense negotiations. Over the case of the last few months we came together around framework, despite an unprecedented shortfall in such a very focused a short period of time. Again, 6 billion protected surface to a deficit that we had to balance. Unlike the federal government, we have to balance our budget. Yesterday we provided an additional 1. 3 billion to cities and counties to support programs like this meeting, despite the deficit in the headwinds of stress that we had to address in balancing our budget, we still made a commitment to lean forward and lean into future and follow through on our commitment to do more and do better for homeless californians. 550million for acquisition. Not just leasing of units like this but acquiring units like this. Forgive me for belaboring this. If i appear to be enthusiastic, it is because i am. For years and years, as a former county supervisor and mayor, and want to have the resources to purchase assets like this that would allow us to immediately get people off the street permanently. The reason i long for that opportunity, is we all recognize in the state of california and those of us in the county and city level, the cost and the time and value of money to procure a site, to get the funding, to acquire the site and to get it set up. Do the entitlement process and get it built and get it occupied. Three, four and five years go by and at the end of the day the price tag is about 500,000 per key, per unit. 35 years, half a Million Dollars and you have one unit. If we are going to solve the magnitude of this crisis, 100,000 horse people in the state we have to do something faster with more intensive. We have to do something aggressively and differently, dare i say. This acquisition portfolio in this pool of money of 550,000 provides the flexibility for the supervisor and the health and Human Services teams for the county and cities to procure assets like this. 550million. We put Additional Resources into the hands of the counties, over 300 additional Million Dollars to help the county support services once the units, motels, hotels, tiny homes, vacant apartment buildings are purchased that will allow the services to go on site. Shelters solve sleep. Housing in support of Services Solve homelessness. That is the framework of what we now refer to no longer is project room key, which is our emergency frame but now, home key. In a sense of permanency in place. A framework of opportunity to anchor the progress we made in the midst of this pandemic and have something very meaningful to show for moving forward. 1. 3billion, 900 million from the state. Money coming from the c. A. R. E. S. Act and other federal resources and i would be remiss for not taking blue shield and kaiser for 45 million in funding to help these uppers to provide Supportive Services for programs like this as well. We are very proud to make this announcement today. Im proud of the leadership here at the local level. 293 hotels like this have been procured in our portfolio in 52 counties in the state of california. 15,679 rooms and over 14,000 individuals now with the dignity and a place to come home. In the that is not permanent but continues to be extended on a monthtomonth basis through this crisis. We have no expectation that fema will walk away from their commitments anytime soon. I would be remiss if i did not think bob fenton of fema. The regional director of fema, whose ingenuity, whose entrepreneurial spirit, you talk about the good ones in government. This was one of the past. It was because of his willingness to work with us we created this program and interestingly connecticut is trying to replicate this program. Hawaii is trying to replicate this program. Now other states are looking to replicate this same program. We are very, very grateful for and i wanted to share that with you at the top of my presentation. As always the purpose for you tuning it was for you to hear the updates on where we are as a state related to covid19 and the total number of positive cases. The total number of hospitalized and icu cases. Let me briefly update you on the current numbers in the state. In the last 24 hours we had 6367 individuals that tested positive for covid19. We have seen an increase of the total number of positive cases rather consistently over the course of the last two weeks here in the state of california. Of particular concern, is the issue of the number of hospitalizations and icu patients in this state. Hospitalizations increased 6. 1 . The number of icu 4. 3 percent and over a 14 day period we have seen a 40 increase in total hospitalizations in the state. 37 increase over a twoweek period and the the total number of icu patients. We are seeing a steady increase in the total number of positive cases and honumber of patients our icus. Positivity Rate in the state two weeks ago. Positivity rate is the total number of people tested and the percentage of people that tested positive. Our Positivity Rate was 4. 4 . Over a 14 day. , today it is 5. 6 over a 14 day. When you look just at the last seven days it is increased to 5. 9 . That is a point of caution and consideration. And obviously, a point of concern. That led to the decisions we made over the weekend as it relates to shutting down bars in those areas of the state where we have seen an increase in the spread and particularly Community Spread and we include 19 counties and our watchlist and full disclosure likely to see an addition
