As California stares down a massive budget deficit, the mayors of the Bay Area’s largest cities are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers to avoid cuts to homelessness services and dedicate $1 billion a year to helping local governments manage the crisis.

This week, the California Big City Mayors coalition, including the mayors of San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco, called on state officials to continue funding a program that since 2019 has sent $4 billion to cities and counties to combat homelessness.
