Proposed Budget-Balancing Reductions

  • Budget-balancing reductions for BTH total $0.2 million in 2007-08 and $2.03 million and 4.1 personnel years in 2008-09.
  • Programs exempted from reductions include Proposition 42 transportation transfers and general obligation debt service.
The major reductions are described below:

  • $481,000 in 2008-09 for the Small Business Loan Guarantee Program. This reduction will result in fewer loan guarantees available to small businesses in California.
  • $343,000 in 2008-09 for the Office of Migrant Services. This reduction will require four centers to be closed, resulting in fewer housing opportunities for migrant agricultural workers in California.
  • $401,000 in 2008-09 for the Emergency Shelter Program. This reduction in assistance to local homeless emergency shelters would result in approximately 1,900 fewer shelter spaces annually.
