On February 12th, we held a special hour-long session of AIQ that focused on the impacts of Executive Orders and funding freezes on social, health, and human services in California. The recording of our session will be shared at noon on Friday. In the meantime, we would like to provide resources that explain the potential impacts on Californians.
Federal Funds Supporting California
According to the California Budget & Policy Center report “California at Risk: Proposed Federal Funding Cuts Jeopardize Key Services” around a third of California’s state budget comes from federal funds. A majority of these funds support health and human services and social services that are now at risk due to the proposed federal funding cuts.
Federal Funds Supporting Lutheran Social Services
Lutheran Social Services of Northern California and Lutheran Social Services of Southern California both utilize federal funds to support vital programs in their communities that are at risk due to Executive Orders and a freeze on the allocation of federal funding. To learn more about these two groups, please visit their websites linked above. Additionally, to learn more about how both groups receive federal funds and what programs they support click here for LSS Northern California and here for LSS Southern California.
