The new requirement goes into effect Jan. 1, 2027.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result of those changes, the California Legislative Analyst’s office estimates that up to 2 million people could get dropped from Medi-Cal, and around 840,000 could lose CalFresh food aid. Some of those recipients would be disqualified because they don’t meet the work requirement. Others may simply be unable to manage the new bureaucratic requirement of documenting their hours for the government twice a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Christopher Cabaldon, D-West Sacramento, drafted a solution that he hopes will prevent people from losing benefits for failing to report their hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His bill, \u003ca href=\"https://legiscan.com/CA/bill/SB1054/2025\">SB 1054\u003c/a>, would instead require employers to provide that information to the state Employment Development Department — which already collects data on employee wages to administer unemployment benefits. The bill would then authorize the EDD to share that data with the state health and social service agencies that determine eligibility for Medi-Cal and CalFresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress has opened up a giant chasm for Californians to fall into and lose their Medi-Cal coverage,” Cabaldon said. “We can use our data systems to thwart that cynical ploy and make sure that Californians don’t get booted off because of a paper processing requirement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12060772\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12060772\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/SNAPGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/SNAPGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/SNAPGetty-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/SNAPGetty-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">SNAP and EBT Accepted here sign.

According to Saucedo, it’s the first time in the history of the Medicaid program, known in California as Medi-Cal, that people have been required to work to maintain their health coverage.[aside postID=news_12078168 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251031-SFMARINFOODBANK-11-BL-KQED.jpg']Roughly 1 in 3 Californians is covered by Medi-Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, has said the\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/atrupar/status/1910358772272202135?s=20\"> work requirement helps\u003c/a> “return the dignity of work to young men who need to be out working instead of playing video games all day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Saucedo said most people receiving benefits are already working, and research has shown that such requirements don’t increase employment or earnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saucedo called the work reporting requirements “a bad policy.” “It really is just another way of … pushing people off of the programs,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Cabaldon’s bill does not do is change \u003cem>who \u003c/em>is eligible for health and food aid.

The findings suggest that affordability plays a major role in Californians’ relocation decisions. And Californians who leave move to much more affordable areas and see large increases in home ownership, on average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The affordability crisis in the state does seem to be impacting where people move and perhaps even the choice to move,” said California Policy Lab Executive Director Evan White. “Though when people leave the state, they are moving to much more affordable communities than the ones that they lived in in California. The housing costs in those communities are close to $700 cheaper than in the neighborhoods that they left. And then I should say the home prices in the new neighborhoods are $398,000 less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers were able to track movers during the years after they leave California. And Californians who left the state were much more likely to own a home a few years later. That likelihood grows over time. Seven years after leaving California, movers were 11 percentage points (or 48%) more likely to be a homeowner than those who stayed in the state, even after controlling for age. By contrast, those who chose to move to California were only 6 percentage points (or 27%) more likely to be homeowners seven years after arriving than they were before they came to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12078793/trump-endorses-steve-hilton-for-california-governor-giving-gop-a-front-runner\">\u003cstrong>Trump endorses Republican Steve Hilton in governor’s race \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/steve-hilton-california-governor-newsom-11c0ec5b378e8b2792721c2ff7597499\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Steve Hilton\u003c/a>\u003c/span> for California governor, reordering a crowded, wide-open race to lead the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump \u003ca href=\"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116356081038721731\">posted late Sunday on his social media platform Truth Social\u003c/a> that he has known Hilton for years and called the conservative commentator “a truly fine man” who could turn around a state beset with notoriously high taxes.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts, Bonta and nearly two dozen attorneys general argue that Trump is attempting a “shocking and unprecedented power grab” ahead of the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The president doesn’t have authority over the time, place and manner of elections in the states, and he knows that,” Bonta said in a press call announcing the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2021, California has mailed all registered voters a ballot by default before each election. In the state’s 2025 special election, nearly 89% of voters cast a vote-by-mail ballot — which includes ballots returned to drop boxes, polling places and through the mail. Trump’s order would require the Department of Homeland Security to send each state a list of U.S. citizens who will be 18 by the next election. States would then have to send the United States Postal Service a list of eligible voters for the election. Under the order, the USPS would not return ballots from voters unless they appear on the states’ list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lawsuit, Bonta and the other attorneys general argue that the Constitution vests the powers to regulate elections solely with the states and Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.ijpr.org/housing/2026-04-02/https-affordable-housing-project-in-crescent-city-set-to-resume-construction-after-months-of-delay\">\u003cstrong>Crescent City affordable housing project plans to restart after costly setbacks\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Construction on the Battery Point Apartments in Crescent City is expected to resume in the coming weeks after months of delays caused by storms, water damage and construction challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Battery Point will include 162 units, with a mix of workforce housing for families, apartments for low-income seniors and two units for managers. Project leaders say the goal is to provide housing in Del Norte County, which has experienced one of the highest \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/2025-popest-metro-micro-counties.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">population declines\u003c/a> in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction stalled after storms caused water damage and prevented site work.

That meant more work had to be done to strengthen the structures, especially the apartments for seniors, which are modular construction. Crews had to remove the entire bottom floor of each module, lift the structures so workers could reinforce them with new steel beams and then replace the flooring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Battery Point is now about a year behind schedule.

The findings suggest that affordability plays a major role in Californians’ relocation decisions. And Californians who leave move to much more affordable areas and see large increases in home ownership, on average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The affordability crisis in the state does seem to be impacting where people move and perhaps even the choice to move,” said California Policy Lab Executive Director Evan White. “Though when people leave the state, they are moving to much more affordable communities than the ones that they lived in in California. The housing costs in those communities are close to $700 cheaper than in the neighborhoods that they left. And then I should say the home prices in the new neighborhoods are $398,000 less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers were able to track movers during the years after they leave California. And Californians who left the state were much more likely to own a home a few years later. That likelihood grows over time. Seven years after leaving California, movers were 11 percentage points (or 48%) more likely to be a homeowner than those who stayed in the state, even after controlling for age. By contrast, those who chose to move to California were only 6 percentage points (or 27%) more likely to be homeowners seven years after arriving than they were before they came to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12078793/trump-endorses-steve-hilton-for-california-governor-giving-gop-a-front-runner\">\u003cstrong>Trump endorses Republican Steve Hilton in governor’s race \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/steve-hilton-california-governor-newsom-11c0ec5b378e8b2792721c2ff7597499\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Steve Hilton\u003c/a>\u003c/span> for California governor, reordering a crowded, wide-open race to lead the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Massachusetts, Bonta and nearly two dozen attorneys general argue that Trump is attempting a “shocking and unprecedented power grab” ahead of the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The president doesn’t have authority over the time, place and manner of elections in the states, and he knows that,” Bonta said in a press call announcing the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2021, California has mailed all registered voters a ballot by default before each election. In the state’s 2025 special election, nearly 89% of voters cast a vote-by-mail ballot — which includes ballots returned to drop boxes, polling places and through the mail. Trump’s order would require the Department of Homeland Security to send each state a list of U.S. citizens who will be 18 by the next election. States would then have to send the United States Postal Service a list of eligible voters for the election. Under the order, the USPS would not return ballots from voters unless they appear on the states’ list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lawsuit, Bonta and the other attorneys general argue that the Constitution vests the powers to regulate elections solely with the states and Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"ArtP-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.ijpr.org/housing/2026-04-02/https-affordable-housing-project-in-crescent-city-set-to-resume-construction-after-months-of-delay\">\u003cstrong>Crescent City affordable housing project plans to restart after costly setbacks\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Construction on the Battery Point Apartments in Crescent City is expected to resume in the coming weeks after months of delays caused by storms, water damage and construction challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Battery Point will include 162 units, with a mix of workforce housing for families, apartments for low-income seniors and two units for managers. Project leaders say the goal is to provide housing in Del Norte County, which has experienced one of the highest \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/2025-popest-metro-micro-counties.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">population declines\u003c/a> in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction stalled after storms caused water damage and prevented site work. Additional delays came from unexpected seismic remediation needs, according to Bill Rice, president of \u003ca class=\"Link\" href=\"https://www.synergycdc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synergy Community Development Corp.\u003c/a>, the project’s developer. “All these things create kind of a cycle of slowing the process for what we desperately want to deliver, [which] is quality affordable housing for those senior residents because there’s huge demand for it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original geotechnical report incorrectly listed the soil conditions on the site, Rice said. That meant more work had to be done to strengthen the structures, especially the apartments for seniors, which are modular construction. Crews had to remove the entire bottom floor of each module, lift the structures so workers could reinforce them with new steel beams and then replace the flooring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Any move to align himself with Trump’s crusade against mail voting could help Bianco overtake his Republican rival in the race, commentator Steve Hilton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s certainly pursuing it only for publicity, not for election integrity,” Barreto said — a charge Bianco denied at his press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a lawsuit filed Monday, California Attorney Rob Bonta asked the state’s 4th District Court of Appeal to freeze Bianco’s investigation and halt a new count of ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Sheriff has not identified any particular crime that may have been committed by anyone — a necessary predicate to obtain a criminal search warrant,” Bonta’s office said in a statement. “By all appearances, this investigation is little more than a fishing expedition meant to sow distrust and undermine public confidence in our elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a three-judge panel on the appeals court denied Bonta’s petition on Tuesday and instructed the attorney general to file his suit with a lower court instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one appears more determined to discredit vote-by-mail than Trump, who this week said, “mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.”[aside postID=news_11985554 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/GettyImages-1244637624-scaled.jpg']Trump and Republicans in Congress are advocating for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12035487/the-house-has-passed-the-trump-backed-save-act-here-are-8-things-to-know\">SAVE Act\u003c/a>, which would ban states such as California from automatically mailing all voters a ballot and instead require voters to submit an application and show proof-of-citizenship documents in order to receive a mail ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that bill faces uncertain prospects of clearing the Senate, the U.S. Supreme Court could soon block states from counting ballots that arrive by mail after Election Day.

Any move to align himself with Trump’s crusade against mail voting could help Bianco overtake his Republican rival in the race, commentator Steve Hilton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s certainly pursuing it only for publicity, not for election integrity,” Barreto said — a charge Bianco denied at his press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a lawsuit filed Monday, California Attorney Rob Bonta asked the state’s 4th District Court of Appeal to freeze Bianco’s investigation and halt a new count of ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Sheriff has not identified any particular crime that may have been committed by anyone — a necessary predicate to obtain a criminal search warrant,” Bonta’s office said in a statement. “By all appearances, this investigation is little more than a fishing expedition meant to sow distrust and undermine public confidence in our elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a three-judge panel on the appeals court denied Bonta’s petition on Tuesday and instructed the attorney general to file his suit with a lower court instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one appears more determined to discredit vote-by-mail than Trump, who this week said, “mail-in voting means mail-in cheating.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
