In the aftermath, we often ask ourselves – how do we make sure this doesn’t happen again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials are slowly phasing in one of the next steps in better protecting homes – it’s called Zone Zero. That’s the area of bare dirt around homes which is considered a defensible space. It’s a bubble – the first 5 feet around the house – where there is nothing likely to catch fire. While other defensible space codes have been about slowing oncoming flames or providing a safe space for firefighters to work, this one is about preventing embers from catching the house on fire. Embers are responsible for up to 90% of homes burning down in a fire. It’s a hot topic in policy and research circles where people talk about how to save homes and make insurance more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies indicate more than half of homes could be saved during a wildfire if the whole neighborhood took this step. The state has dragged its feet for years on implementing this standard. And it won’t apply to existing homes in very high fire risk areas for another 3 years. But some cities are moving faster, including San Diego, Berkeley and Orinda-Moraga. Some residents are on board, some really are not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurance companies could become the ones who really drive adoption. Amy Bach, from United Policyholders, a nonprofit that helps insurance customers, told state lawmakers people want guarantees. “If I don’t go on vacation and I use that money to get rid of my beautiful bushes and all the other things you’re telling me I need to do, replace my wooden fence with a metal fence, then I’m not going to have to worry about my insurance again,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title \">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2026/07/trump-homeless-funding-judge/\">\u003cstrong>Judge shoots down Trump’s homeless funding shift\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California scored another win against the Trump administration in their battle over how to address the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2026/04/hud-homeless-lawsuit/\">homelessness crisis\u003c/a> here and nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A federal judge last week \u003ca href=\"https://democracyforward.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/99-SJ-Decision.pdf\">shot down\u003c/a> the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2025 attempt to divert money away from permanent housing and instead fund temporary shelters and programs that require sobriety. But the judge stopped short of banning the Trump administration from making such changes in the future. “The federal court’s decision to reject the Trump-Vance Administration’s attempt to disrupt essential housing services for people experiencing homelessness, including families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, is both appropriate and just,” Renee Willis, chief executive of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, wrote in a news release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November, the Department of Housing and Urban Development said jurisdictions applying for about $4 billion in federal Continuum of Care funding can’t spend more than 30% of it on permanent housing – a move that would result in a significant cut to the type of long-term housing that for years has been a cornerstone of the fight against homelessness. Last year, California communities spent about 90% their share of that money on permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A group of states, including California quickly sued. San Francisco, Santa Clara County and a group of national homelessness nonprofits filed a separate lawsuit. In December, a federal judge in Rhode Island temporarily blocked the changes. In February, Congress ordered HUD to renew grants from 2025 under the old rules. Last week, U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy partially granted the plaintiffs’ request for summary judgement in both cases. She ruled that the federal agency did not try to foresee the harm its “breakneck” transition away from the country’s longstanding “housing first” model – which prioritizes getting people into housing without first forcing them to seek treatment – would have on the country’s homeless individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\u003c/p>\n",

She ruled that the federal agency did not try to foresee the harm its “breakneck” transition away from the country’s longstanding “housing first” model – which prioritizes getting people into housing without first forcing them to seek treatment – would have on the country’s homeless individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Both organizations use the model as a way to help communities build savings and access small, no-interest loans through structured, community-based programs. Special Projects Manager at the ELF, Vianey Barraza, explains how tandas work. “You get a group of people, usually between six and 10 individuals, and they decide to lend to each other.

That means Californians have a big stake in what happens with the farm bill, which is overdue for renewal and in front of the Senate now. From Yuba County to the Central Valley to Wine Country, communities up and down the state will be following what happens with that Farm Bill, and we’ll bring you their stories this summer.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>As farm bill stalls, California’s farming industry awaits what it will bring\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026—also known as the farm bill— cleared the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bill is a massive piece of federal legislation. The first one was passed in 1933. And over the years, it’s evolved. The farm bill developed all kinds of different programs to help farmers all over the country. And then beginning in the 1970s, Congress added nutrition programs into the farm bill, and this was a strategic move. Food and farming go together, but the people who supported the farm bill mostly were in less populated rural states with lots of farms, and the nutrition programs were largely supporting people. And for Californians, there’s so much agriculture that almost every aspect of the industry is touched by the farm bill in some way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current farm bill expired in 2023, and it has been limping along since then. There is a bill in the Senate. It’s different from the House bill. And so even if it manages to get through the Senate, which is a big if, it will need to be reconciled with the House version.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty around the farm bill has left much of California’s agricultural industry in limbo. That includes researchers. The Lindcove Research and Extension Center is about an hour north of Bakersfield. The center has thousands of orange, lemon and pomelo trees. But the fruit isn’t being grown to be sold – it’s to be studied. Ashraf El-Kereamy directs the research center. “Our mission is to provide the growers and the Californians with science‑based information for their issues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues growers face? Everything from drought to disease. Scientists at the center test new rootstocks, research pesticides, study irrigation and most importantly, the center identifies problems before they spread into commercial orchards. Without this work, El-Kereamy said, growers would have fewer tools to succeed. “Without doing research on pest management, without optimizing the cultural practices, you cannot get this nice-looking fruit.” And all of this work has been funded by the farm bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for nearly a decade, Congress has struggled to pass a new bill and has reauthorized the same bill year after year. In that time, the needs of the ag industry have changed, but the funding hasn’t kept up. Last year, lawmakers tried to address the problem by pouring billions of dollars into certain ag programs through HR-1, and that gave Lindcove Research Center some funding. “I don’t think it’s a substitute at all. It’s a band aid at best,” said Anja Raudabaugh, the CEO of Western United Dairies. She also used to write parts of the farm bill in a previous job with Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bill funds programs for a five-year period and Raudabaugh said this gives farmers and researchers more certainty and security to pursue new projects and enter new markets. El-Kereamy said demand for research at Lindcove Center is constant, especially with climate change creating new challenges. To address this, the Center wants to expand its facilities to train more students and farmers. They’d hoped the farm bill would provide resources to help fund the expansion. But the longer it takes for the farm bill to pass, the more expensive the project is getting.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That means Californians have a big stake in what happens with the farm bill, which is overdue for renewal and in front of the Senate now. From Yuba County to the Central Valley to Wine Country, communities up and down the state will be following what happens with that Farm Bill, and we’ll bring you their stories this summer.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>As farm bill stalls, California’s farming industry awaits what it will bring\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026—also known as the farm bill— cleared the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bill is a massive piece of federal legislation. The first one was passed in 1933. And over the years, it’s evolved. The farm bill developed all kinds of different programs to help farmers all over the country. And then beginning in the 1970s, Congress added nutrition programs into the farm bill, and this was a strategic move. Food and farming go together, but the people who supported the farm bill mostly were in less populated rural states with lots of farms, and the nutrition programs were largely supporting people. And for Californians, there’s so much agriculture that almost every aspect of the industry is touched by the farm bill in some way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current farm bill expired in 2023, and it has been limping along since then. There is a bill in the Senate. It’s different from the House bill. And so even if it manages to get through the Senate, which is a big if, it will need to be reconciled with the House version.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The uncertainty around the farm bill has left much of California’s agricultural industry in limbo. That includes researchers. The Lindcove Research and Extension Center is about an hour north of Bakersfield. The center has thousands of orange, lemon and pomelo trees. But the fruit isn’t being grown to be sold – it’s to be studied. Ashraf El-Kereamy directs the research center. “Our mission is to provide the growers and the Californians with science‑based information for their issues,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Scientists at the center test new rootstocks, research pesticides, study irrigation and most importantly, the center identifies problems before they spread into commercial orchards. Without this work, El-Kereamy said, growers would have fewer tools to succeed. “Without doing research on pest management, without optimizing the cultural practices, you cannot get this nice-looking fruit.” And all of this work has been funded by the farm bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for nearly a decade, Congress has struggled to pass a new bill and has reauthorized the same bill year after year. In that time, the needs of the ag industry have changed, but the funding hasn’t kept up. Last year, lawmakers tried to address the problem by pouring billions of dollars into certain ag programs through HR-1, and that gave Lindcove Research Center some funding. “I don’t think it’s a substitute at all. It’s a band aid at best,” said Anja Raudabaugh, the CEO of Western United Dairies. She also used to write parts of the farm bill in a previous job with Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm bill funds programs for a five-year period and Raudabaugh said this gives farmers and researchers more certainty and security to pursue new projects and enter new markets. El-Kereamy said demand for research at Lindcove Center is constant, especially with climate change creating new challenges. To address this, the Center wants to expand its facilities to train more students and farmers. They’d hoped the farm bill would provide resources to help fund the expansion. But the longer it takes for the farm bill to pass, the more expensive the project is getting.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Coworkers rushed to lift her to her feet, but she could barely walk. Pain radiated from the right side of her body, where she said she felt the impact most. Her supervisors were alerted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was in excruciating pain,” Vernon, 47, said. “It was very painful to walk on my leg because I lost a lot of movement in my right leg. And that’s what’s bothering me to this day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident and her employer’s response became a turning point that unraveled her life. The once-active Oakland native now spends her days in a wheelchair, living at an Alameda County skilled nursing facility with no income. Vernon blames her employer, Prospect Airport Services, for allegedly failing to follow California’s requirements for responding to workplace injuries. As weeks passed without her returning to work, Vernon’s job was terminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s workers’ compensation system is intended to ensure employees injured on the job quickly receive medical care while claims are investigated. Benefits may also include partial wage replacement during recovery. But interviews with Vernon, several coworkers and a former supervisor suggest those protections may have broken down in her case, illustrating how workers can fall through the system’s cracks with devastating financial and medical consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vernon lost her housing, car and life’s savings after 22 years of working for airline services contractors at the Oakland airport, she said, including five years as a Prospect employee. “It’s unfair. I needed a lot of help throughout the process, and I felt like they failed me. I didn’t know where to begin as far as medical coverage, how to seek any type of support,” Vernon said. “I hit rock bottom. I became homeless because of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most California employers are responsible for arranging prompt medical attention for a work-related injury. State law also required the company to give Vernon a workers’ compensation claim form within a day and report the incident to its insurance company within five days, both critical steps to beginning the benefits process. None of that happened, according to Vernon and a former supervisor. Instead, Vernon said her manager, Salesh Prasad, told her to go home shortly after her fall. He directed a coworker to drive her to the airport employee parking lot, where she was left alone in her car, with no clear guidance about medical care. She tried contacting Prasad in the days that followed, but he became unresponsive, she said, finally asking her to turn in her security badge. Attempts to reach Prospect Airport Services were unsuccessful. Unifi Aviation, which owns Prospect, declined several requests for comment. Unifi, North America’s largest provider of aviation services, operates at more than 240 airports. The Atlanta-based\u003ca href=\"https://www.carlyle.com/media-room/news-release-archive/carlyle-announces-strategic-financing-unifi-aviation\"> company\u003c/a>, which generates about $2 billion in revenue, is a subsidiary of the privately held Argenbright Holdings, its majority owner, and Delta Air Lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether the company’s alleged failure to respond to Vernon’s injury as required by law was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern. Failures to follow workers’ compensation laws are often the result of employers not properly training or overseeing their managers, said Jason Marcus, former president of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, whose members represent injured workers in the workers’ compensation system. “I’ve certainly seen my fair share of what we kind of refer to as horror stories,” said Marcus, who has nearly two decades of experience. “Somebody gets hurt, suffers a serious injury, and is kind of left to their own devices without any real help or guidance from their employer. And that’s just not how it’s supposed to work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12089306/birthright-citizenship-is-the-story-of-san-francisco-advocates-celebrate-ruling\">‘Birthright citizenship is the story of San Francisco’: advocates celebrate ruling\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For the first time in months, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12033789/lets-fight-back-127-years-after-momentous-supreme-court-ruling-san-francisco-honors-wong-kim-ark\">Norman Wong\u003c/a> breathed a sigh of relief.

It sought to bar citizenship for babies born in the U.S. to parents who either entered the country illegally or who are living and working here legally with temporary visas. The executive order never went into effect because every lower court judge who reviewed it concluded, in the words of one judge, that it was “blatantly unconstitutional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Citizenship, then and now,” Chief Justice John Roberts concluded, “was the right to have rights–to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil M.

Specifically, those who qualify as “special immigrant juveniles,” or SIJ, who’ve suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect. These youths long qualified for deferred action. And deferred action meant they could stay in the U.S. while they applied for work permits or green cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in May, the federal government ended deferred action for youths with SIJ status. And made it impossible for those who have deferred action to renew it. Now, they’re at risk of detention and deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristina McKibben Sias works with a lot of unaccompanied minors. She runs an organization based in Sacramento and Fresno called the Community Justice Alliance. She calls it a “complete dismantling of every angle of protection that they’ve had.” She adds that she’s even gotten calls from youths while federal agents were banging on their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, more than half a million kids have come to the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. Around 80,000 live in California. Around a quarter million youths have been approved for SIJ status and deferred action protections. They include unaccompanied minors and other immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rachel Davidson is with the non-profit National Immigration Project. The organization sued the federal government to put deferred action back in place. After all, the only way to apply for SIJ status and deferred action is to actually be in the U.S. You can’t apply from your home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davidson says that Congress created special immigrant juvenile status as a pathway to permanent protection for young people who are extremely vulnerable, “and if you interrupt the pathway by deporting them in the middle, that means that you’re not understanding the purpose of the statute, which is to protect them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deferred action for these youths was only introduced in 20-22. Before that, Davidson says most presidential administrations didn’t prioritize deporting them. But a lot has changed since January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Thousands more are hurt… and many more remain missing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2026/06/california-affordable-mobile-more/\">An Update on California’s Manufactured Housing Opportunity and Revitalization Program\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three years ago the state doled out nearly 140-million dollars in grants through the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s made a big difference for places like Shady Lane Estates in the unincorporated community of Thermal in the Coachella Valley. Shady Lane spent a chunk of its funding to upgrade its antique electrical system. That means residents now have functioning air conditioners….in a region where afternoons regularly top out at 110-degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shady Lane is one of 28 parks awarded money through the initiative. But that’s only a small fraction of the more than 46-hundred mobile home parks across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program also received applications for more than twice as much funding as it had available. But, as of now, there’s no indication more money is on the way thanks to a tight budget year in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kvpr.org/government-politics/2026-06-23/youth-are-caught-in-the-federal-governments-immigration-crackdown\">Immigrant Youth Caught in Crackdown\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, many of these youths were protected from deportation. Specifically, those who qualify as “special immigrant juveniles,” or SIJ, who’ve suffered abuse, abandonment or neglect. These youths long qualified for deferred action. And deferred action meant they could stay in the U.S. while they applied for work permits or green cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in May, the federal government ended deferred action for youths with SIJ status. And made it impossible for those who have deferred action to renew it. Now, they’re at risk of detention and deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristina McKibben Sias works with a lot of unaccompanied minors. She runs an organization based in Sacramento and Fresno called the Community Justice Alliance. She calls it a “complete dismantling of every angle of protection that they’ve had.” She adds that she’s even gotten calls from youths while federal agents were banging on their doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, more than half a million kids have come to the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. Around 80,000 live in California. Around a quarter million youths have been approved for SIJ status and deferred action protections. They include unaccompanied minors and other immigrant children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rachel Davidson is with the non-profit National Immigration Project. The organization sued the federal government to put deferred action back in place. After all, the only way to apply for SIJ status and deferred action is to actually be in the U.S. You can’t apply from your home country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davidson says that Congress created special immigrant juvenile status as a pathway to permanent protection for young people who are extremely vulnerable, “and if you interrupt the pathway by deporting them in the middle, that means that you’re not understanding the purpose of the statute, which is to protect them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deferred action for these youths was only introduced in 20-22. Before that, Davidson says most presidential administrations didn’t prioritize deporting them. But a lot has changed since January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its highly anticipated ruling by the end of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birthright citizenship is just one of the landmark legal victories won by 19th-century Chinese immigrants. Their court battles helped secure constitutional protections that remain at the center of today’s debates over citizenship, due process and democracy.
