DEAF INTERPRETER: Hello my name is Ashley (A on heart). Today is September 29, 2021 interpreting the press conference with Governor Newsom with a focus on services for people who are homeless.
[WHITE TEXT: Services for Homeless]
[FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A homeless person in a gray jacket and jeans sleeps on a piece of cardboard with their hands and hood covering their face. There is a cardboard sign that says “Homeless and Hungry… Please Help” and a green mug in front of them.]
GOVERNOR: Today our focus is on people who are homeless and maybe living at the park, in tents, on the streets, under bridges, and various other places. I want to work with them to have a better life and not have to live on the streets.
[FULL SCREEN TO TOP LEFT CORNER IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A motel room with two beds and a TV, dresser, desk, mini fridge and microwave.]
GOVERNOR: Expanding Project Home Key where rooms in motels and hotels are being used for the homeless as well building temporary shelters to expand beds available. We are adding many more rooms and many more beds ready for our homeless community to have a place to stay. Also, we have money that will be to used to expand mental health services (such as anxiety and depression) and substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and more) disorder services for the homeless. We want to provide counseling services, heop with clothes, and so much more for people who are homeless. We also want to focus on schools, to make sure that our children who are homeless are taken care of. So many children are homeless right now! We want to find them and their families and make sure that they have a stable life. This will be happening at the local, county, and state level to set up plans to reduce and get rid of homeless ness which is a big big problem right now. For cities and counties to get this money they must set up a clear plan for how they plan to help the homeless. We will look over these plans, approve, and provide the money to make it happen. We must work together to reduce homelessness in California.
[WHITE TEXT: Eviction support until March 2022]
GOVERNOR: Also we continue to block evictions until March 2022, there are rental assistance available for landlords and tenants – both have to apply. There are also programs to help with electricity, lights, gas, water, etc. Have to fill out paperwork, can call in, again both have to apply. We want to use this money to help all of you. Thank you.
