Newsom proposed cutting funding for in-home supportive services for undocumented Californians and delaying food assistance benefits to save about $240 million in the state's budget. Advocates voiced concerns about the impact on 14,000 individuals losing home care services due to their immigration status.
Advocates highlighted the importance of these services in allowing individuals to 'live with dignity in their home' and warned that cutting funding could lead to increased state spending on nursing home care, emphasizing the shortsightedness of the decision.
