Expenditures related to the public health crisis — such as acquiring hotel rooms for healthcare workers and homeless people — are not included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman of District 8 said the city is prepared to start tapping into its reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will also need to make changes to this current year’s budget to get us through to the end [of the year],” said Mandelman. “None of that is going to be pleasant, but the really hard part is going to be putting together the budget for next year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a budget committee meeting \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807140/the-bay-area-prepares-for-remote-governance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">held remotely\u003c/a> in early April, Mayor London Breed’s budget director Kelly Kirkpatrick presented a plan to curb current year spending by placing a hiring freeze on non-essential workers, prioritizing essential capital projects and halting other new programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed plans to introduce a balanced budget for the next fiscal year in early August.

To maintain essential services, Santa Clara has implemented a hiring freeze.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Mateo\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On the Peninsula, San Mateo City Manager Drew Corbett said the city has lost $10 million in sales, hotel and property transfer tax revenue since the county’s shelter-in-place order was issued on March 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he said approximately $88 million in general fund reserves will likely shield the city from immediate budget cuts and government layoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The real issue, said Corbett, is how San Mateo will recover from the economic impact after the pandemic ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to take a few years for our revenues to get back to their baseline amount,” he told council members at a city council meeting at the end of March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo city council members are also looking into using general fund reserves to support the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) which manages health and retirement benefits for employees in the public sector. It is largely funded by outside investors but given the current economic situation, Corbett said the city might have to start absorbing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Palo Alto\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Similarly in Palo Alto, city officials are calculating a $15 to $20 million loss to the city’s general fund in the current fiscal year. City Hall has already trimmed down its staff of about 1,100 employees to 600 essential workers, with roughly 100 of them working reduced hours. Council members are planning to continue paying all city employees to the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The economic impacts of the pandemic have been “very stark and very immediate,” especially as downtown areas have turned into ghost towns, said the city’s Chief Financial Officer Kiely Nose at an early April meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council voted to look into “life support” programs for small businesses, including grants and discounts on utility bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>More Federal Help Needed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Across California, city officials are calling on the state and federal government to provide more funding as they project a collective $7 billion dollar revenue shortfall in the next two fiscal years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new report from the advocacy group League of California Cities forecasts that 9 out of 10 cities in the state will need to cut services and lay workers off to make up the shortfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The league said currently only six out of 482 cities statewide qualify for relief funds from the federal coronavirus aid bill, which benefits local municipalities with over 500,000 residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose is one of those cities, but Vice Mayor Charles Jones said that with an expected $45 million dollar shortfall, the city council will still have to make difficult budget cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said “a lot of the hard work” the city has done to improve the quality of life, such as trash collection and street maintenance, will have to be “reduced or eliminated” if the city can’t receive additional financial support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need the support of the state and the federal government to close that gap,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The average annual percentage rate (APR) for payday loans in the state was 376% last year, which is far greater than the APR for most credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The payday loan industry says its businesses provide a needed service at an affordable cost. But advocates argue they prey on financially vulnerable families. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article225987760.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Most payday loan offices in California are located in ZIP codes with above-average poverty rates.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A weekly record number of Californians, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/coronavirus/article241528921.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">almost 187,000\u003c/a>, filed initial claims for unemployment insurance last week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By June, private-sector job losses could climb to more than 55,000, or 11% to 12% of employment in the central San Joaquin Valley, according to a Sacramento Bee analysis of a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/blog/states-are-projected-to-lose-more-jobs-due-to-the-coronavirus-14-million-jobs-could-be-lost-by-summer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Economic Policy Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re facing one of the worst unemployment crises we’ve ever seen,” said Adam Briones, director of economic equity at the Greenlining Institute in Oakland. “I think it goes without saying that when families are in crisis, those payday lenders are some of the easiest ways to get money quickly. It’s really tough to get out of that debt though.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new law enacted last year caps interest rates at 36% for loans from $2,500 to $10,000, but it doesn’t apply to payday lenders, only larger lenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you were recently laid off and need a loan, experts have advice on how to get help without falling into a debt trap.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Go to Your Bank or Credit Union First\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you’re struggling to make a payment, contact your lending institution first. Rosa Pereirra, branch manager of Self-Help Federal Credit Union in Fresno, said they have allowed all their members to skip their payments in April like they sometimes do during the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would beg the public to call the institution they already owe the payment to because a lot of them get frantic,” Pereirra said. “We’re telling them, take care of yourself, stay home. I can promise you 99% of lenders have a way they can help people skip their payment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks including Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase and Capital One are \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfcc.org/resources/blog/credit-card-issuers-offer-customer-assistance-in-response-to-coronavirus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">encouraging cash-strapped customers to contact them to see what they can work out\u003c/a>. Many can offer hardship plans, which could mean lower interest rates or smaller fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briones, from Greenlining, said banks may not offer hardship plans offhand, so clients should do their research first, and ask for what they need. For additional resources, seek out the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/find-a-housing-counselor/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Housing and Urban Development-approved\u003c/a> housing counselors or credit counselors from nonprofit organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2020/pr20039.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regulators are also responding to this pandemic\u003c/a> by asking large banks and community development financial institutions to start offering small-dollar loans. Briones said clients should ask their banks for a small loan before resorting to a payday lender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wherever we’ve seen payday lending it does lend itself to predatory lenders. But if it is large national banks making small-dollar loans, at the very least there is a regulatory aspect. There’s a structure there,” he said. “Where we worry the most is non-bank lenders that aren’t regulated at the federal level and have much less accountability than large national lenders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If lenders ask for a canceled check, that’s a red flag, according to Pereirra from Self-Help Federal Credit Union. “Most banks and credit unions are able to make a direct deposit. A lot of predatory lenders go ahead and want to have access to your account. With a check, they have the routing number and account number so they can try to pull it several times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pereirra said small loans typically should run between 2.5% to 10%. If a rate exceeds 20%, she encouraged consumers to reach out to a credit union for refinancing help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just saw one at 480% APR,” Pereirra said. “A lot of times we’re able to pay their high rate loans off.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has also created \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/protect-yourself-financially-from-impact-of-coronavirus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multiple guides on navigating loans and debts.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Coronavirus Aid Available\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>President Trump signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcclatchydc.com/latest-news/article241555311.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill\u003c/a> on Friday with significant relief for families and small businesses. Individuals who filed their 2018 or 2019 taxes can receive a check of up to $1,200, plus $500 for each child. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/coronavirus/article241517496.html?ac_cid=DM162480&ac_bid=293848695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You can calculate how much you receive here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many, advocates argue, that won’t be enough to cover rent or other expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really concerned because we feel that for an economic recovery package to make an impact, those funds need to be consistent. We think families are going to need 12 to 24 months of payments to make it out of this economic fallout,” Briones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, however, that payment is a one-time deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stimulus also includes $10,000 loans for injury disaster relief through the Small Business Administration to provide paid sick leave to employees, maintain payroll and make rent or mortgage payments. \u003ca href=\"https://covid19relief.sba.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You can apply through SBA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a historic move on the part of SBA,” said Tara Lynn Gray, Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce president. “You can apply for the loan, not yet have an answer and within three days get $10,000. If you end up not qualifying, they don’t come after you for $10,000. That is unheard of for small businesses. And SBA loans are very difficult for us to get. Most people of color struggle greatly to get those loans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.fmbcc.com/post/help-for-cv-small-businesses-covid-19-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.downtownfresno.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Fresno Partnership\u003c/a> have listed other resources for small businesses on their websites.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Manuela Tobias is a journalist at The Fresno Bee.

But advocates argue they prey on financially vulnerable families. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article225987760.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Most payday loan offices in California are located in ZIP codes with above-average poverty rates.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A weekly record number of Californians, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/coronavirus/article241528921.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">almost 187,000\u003c/a>, filed initial claims for unemployment insurance last week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By June, private-sector job losses could climb to more than 55,000, or 11% to 12% of employment in the central San Joaquin Valley, according to a Sacramento Bee analysis of a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/blog/states-are-projected-to-lose-more-jobs-due-to-the-coronavirus-14-million-jobs-could-be-lost-by-summer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Economic Policy Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re facing one of the worst unemployment crises we’ve ever seen,” said Adam Briones, director of economic equity at the Greenlining Institute in Oakland. “I think it goes without saying that when families are in crisis, those payday lenders are some of the easiest ways to get money quickly. It’s really tough to get out of that debt though.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new law enacted last year caps interest rates at 36% for loans from $2,500 to $10,000, but it doesn’t apply to payday lenders, only larger lenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you were recently laid off and need a loan, experts have advice on how to get help without falling into a debt trap.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Go to Your Bank or Credit Union First\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you’re struggling to make a payment, contact your lending institution first. Rosa Pereirra, branch manager of Self-Help Federal Credit Union in Fresno, said they have allowed all their members to skip their payments in April like they sometimes do during the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would beg the public to call the institution they already owe the payment to because a lot of them get frantic,” Pereirra said. “We’re telling them, take care of yourself, stay home. I can promise you 99% of lenders have a way they can help people skip their payment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banks including Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase and Capital One are \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfcc.org/resources/blog/credit-card-issuers-offer-customer-assistance-in-response-to-coronavirus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">encouraging cash-strapped customers to contact them to see what they can work out\u003c/a>. Many can offer hardship plans, which could mean lower interest rates or smaller fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Briones, from Greenlining, said banks may not offer hardship plans offhand, so clients should do their research first, and ask for what they need. For additional resources, seek out the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/find-a-housing-counselor/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Department of Housing and Urban Development-approved\u003c/a> housing counselors or credit counselors from nonprofit organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2020/pr20039.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regulators are also responding to this pandemic\u003c/a> by asking large banks and community development financial institutions to start offering small-dollar loans. Briones said clients should ask their banks for a small loan before resorting to a payday lender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wherever we’ve seen payday lending it does lend itself to predatory lenders. But if it is large national banks making small-dollar loans, at the very least there is a regulatory aspect. There’s a structure there,” he said. “Where we worry the most is non-bank lenders that aren’t regulated at the federal level and have much less accountability than large national lenders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If lenders ask for a canceled check, that’s a red flag, according to Pereirra from Self-Help Federal Credit Union. “Most banks and credit unions are able to make a direct deposit. A lot of predatory lenders go ahead and want to have access to your account. With a check, they have the routing number and account number so they can try to pull it several times.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pereirra said small loans typically should run between 2.5% to 10%. If a rate exceeds 20%, she encouraged consumers to reach out to a credit union for refinancing help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just saw one at 480% APR,” Pereirra said. “A lot of times we’re able to pay their high rate loans off.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has also created \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/protect-yourself-financially-from-impact-of-coronavirus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multiple guides on navigating loans and debts.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Coronavirus Aid Available\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>President Trump signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mcclatchydc.com/latest-news/article241555311.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill\u003c/a> on Friday with significant relief for families and small businesses. Individuals who filed their 2018 or 2019 taxes can receive a check of up to $1,200, plus $500 for each child. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/coronavirus/article241517496.html?ac_cid=DM162480&ac_bid=293848695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You can calculate how much you receive here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many, advocates argue, that won’t be enough to cover rent or other expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really concerned because we feel that for an economic recovery package to make an impact, those funds need to be consistent. We think families are going to need 12 to 24 months of payments to make it out of this economic fallout,” Briones said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, however, that payment is a one-time deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stimulus also includes $10,000 loans for injury disaster relief through the Small Business Administration to provide paid sick leave to employees, maintain payroll and make rent or mortgage payments. \u003ca href=\"https://covid19relief.sba.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You can apply through SBA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a historic move on the part of SBA,” said Tara Lynn Gray, Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce president. “You can apply for the loan, not yet have an answer and within three days get $10,000. If you end up not qualifying, they don’t come after you for $10,000. That is unheard of for small businesses. And SBA loans are very difficult for us to get. Most people of color struggle greatly to get those loans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.fmbcc.com/post/help-for-cv-small-businesses-covid-19-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.downtownfresno.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Downtown Fresno Partnership\u003c/a> have listed other resources for small businesses on their websites.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While nearly all companies in the region are impacted by efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic, it’s small operations that have been hit the hardest, say business leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday morning, Brennan, also a San Mateo County Harbor Commissioner who pushes for pay equity in surfing and other sports, tried to apply for unemployment insurance benefits for the first time in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are definitely worried,” said Brennan, whose wife Aimee works at a small medical device company that provides both with health coverage. “That’s a huge concern right now.

The state received 135,000 claims in a single day last week, said Gov. Gavin Newsom. That more than doubles the 58,200 jobless claims California processed during the whole second week of March, according to the California Employment Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't know of a single business that is not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or the shelter-in-place orders,” said Matthew Mahood, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Organization, a chamber of commerce with 1,200 business members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small businesses that don’t have the ability to work remotely depend on foot traffic, and many lack savings, putting them at particular risk of closing for good, said Mahood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They've already laid people off. They've already cut hours.

"content": "\u003cp>Doctors and nurses at UCSF and San Francisco General Hospital will begin testing a wearable health device Monday that could indicate they are becoming ill from the coronavirus even before they feel sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers are hopeful that the Oura ring, which takes continuous readings of body temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate when worn on a person’s finger at night, could yield data that predicts illness. That would allow doctors more time to take precautions — like self-isolating — so they don’t infect other health care workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because they're the ones that we desperately need to keep well,” said Ashley Mason, a psychologist at UCSF who is leading the research. “If this tells us things about symptoms that we're going to get — before we get them, then we've got time to get ready and help ourselves be safe and help the people around us be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason usually studies depression. Most recently, she was examining how people with depression can have trouble regulating their body temperature and she devised a study to see if sauna treatments helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we think might be happening when we use hyperthermia, or these sauna sessions, is we're re-turning the system on in the body, so that people are able to do more temperature regulation,” she said, and maybe feel less depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had study participants wear the ring for a week before and a week after the treatments to measure their temperature.

That would allow doctors more time to take precautions — like self-isolating — so they don’t infect other health care workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because they're the ones that we desperately need to keep well,” said Ashley Mason, a psychologist at UCSF who is leading the research. “If this tells us things about symptoms that we're going to get — before we get them, then we've got time to get ready and help ourselves be safe and help the people around us be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mason usually studies depression. Most recently, she was examining how people with depression can have trouble regulating their body temperature and she devised a study to see if sauna treatments helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we think might be happening when we use hyperthermia, or these sauna sessions, is we're re-turning the system on in the body, so that people are able to do more temperature regulation,” she said, and maybe feel less depressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
