[Roll Call]

We have a quorum. Thank you very much. We will ask if there are any Members of the public or interested parties present in the hearing room would like to provide testimony today. If so, please come forward. State your name for the record. Your time will be limited to 1 minute, seeing no one come forward. I'll go to the moderator to see if we have folks who want to participate via teleconference.

Mr. Chair, we have at least one person who signaled that they wish to speak. Just a moment, please. Thank you. And we are now going to go to line 40.

Hello, Members. My name is Amy Hines-Shaik, and I represent the California Community Land Trust Network. We have an item that was on the agenda before about the Foreclosure Intervention housing preservation Program deferral, and we did submit a proposed compromise on that. But I'm calling today to ask about the Cal Home deferral, the $50 million.

It seems like the ADU funding was pertaining to Cal Home, although it did not reference that program by name. We have a Bill by Assembly Member Ward AB 671 that would allow Community Land Trust to access the Cal Home program. And we very much appreciate rejecting the concept of deferring that program. So thank you very much for your consideration, and we look forward to working with the committee.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Chair, there is no one else's signal that they wish to speak.

Thank you. If someone here in the hearing room would like to speak, please come forward. State your name for the record.

I really appreciate the Senate moving forward with an additional year of HAPP funding. Justin Garrett, California State Association of Counties. Apologies. And item 37 to keep the conversation going on accountability, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate.
