Health care advocates are speaking out against proposed cuts to a California program that provides in-home care aides to low-income seniors and people with disabilities who are undocumented immigrants. Governor Gavin Newsom s May budget revision would cut about 2,600 people from the In-Home Support Services program, to save an estimated $94 million. Dania Perea Alonso, undocumented immigrant from Fresno who receives these services is hearing- and vision-impaired and said the program makes it possible for her sister to provide care. .
Oregon is poised to distribute funds for early childhood learning and literacy.
