Gavin Newsom used remarks at Stanislaus State to underscore a focus on accountability across homelessness, behavioral health and infrastructure, and to highlight recent and proposed investments in public safety and cleanup efforts.

Newsom previewed a new accountability website the administration will roll out to track homelessness, housing and behavioral health indicators by county, describing the tool as a transparency measure for local governments and the public.

Why it matters: The governor framed measurement and public data as a means to hold jurisdictions accountable for implementing homelessness and housing commitments. He said the state will use targeted grants and other tools to push local implementation.

Details: Newsom cited $750,000,000 in camping-resolution grants intended to resolve encampment situations rather than only relocate them. He also said the state has invested $1,220,000,000 in the Clean California effort and noted a proposed paid workforce of 18,000 under that program.

On infrastructure, Newsom pointed to build.ca.gov and a 10‑year slate of projects totaling about $180,000,000,000 and said the administration lists roughly 16,000 active infrastructure projects on the site. He characterized the portfolio as creating roughly 400,000 jobs over the next decade.

On public safety, Newsom said the state has invested in grants and prosecution partnerships to address organized retail theft and violent crime in several regions and noted multi-year funding increases for law enforcement and prosecution grants.

Next steps: The administration plans to unveil the accountability website and continue to distribute grants tied to the homelessness and Clean California programs; Newsom said local jurisdictions committed to pro-housing or clean-community designations will be eligible for additional funding.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Governor Newsom Receives North San Joaquin Valley Economic Plan, Previews 2025-26 Budget Toplines","oneSentenceSummary","Gov.

Gavin Newsom outlined education and workforce investments included in the administration’s priorities, citing universal transitional kindergarten, universal school meals and increased support for apprenticeships.

Newsom said the state is on track to exceed a prior apprenticeship target, reporting 624,895 apprentices — a figure he described as being “well beyond the 500,000 by 2029” goal.

Why it matters: The administration framed the investments as efforts to close opportunity and achievement gaps and to align education with regional workforce needs. Newsom emphasized early childhood education, expanded school-day programming and supports for students with learning disabilities.

Details: Newsom cited a $4,400,000,000 commitment to reimagining the school day (including expanded summer and after-school programming), cited roughly $2,400,000,000 for prekindergarten investments and said universal school meals would be fully implemented. He also highlighted a $4,100,000,000 investment in school-based behavioral health and wellness centers.

He called for more crediting of military service toward degrees and described career education as a flexible “career jungle gym” rather than a straight ladder, saying employers should be able to recognize credentials and work experience.

Next steps: The governor said further details will be provided in the formal budget documents and subsequent presentations to the Legislature.","Gov.

Gavin Newsom used a visit to Stanislaus State on Monday to preview the administration’s January budget, highlight fiscal reserves and call for changes to voter-approved limits on setting aside surplus revenue.

Newsom said the January budget will be balanced and include about $17,000,000,000 in reserves, with an additional $1,000,000,000 in discretionary reserves. “It needs to at least be doubled to 20%,” he said of Proposition 2’s reserve cap, proposing a higher savings target to soften revenue volatility.

Why it matters: The governor framed the revisions as a way to stabilize California’s finances against the state’s volatile revenue base, which relies heavily on capital gains. He said the administration would seek political support to exempt reserve contributions from the spending limits imposed by Proposition 4.

Details and liabilities: Newsom highlighted recent and planned actions to reduce long-term liabilities: he said the state has paid down roughly $14,000,000,000 toward unfunded health-care and pension obligations and has a commitment to pay about $10,000,000,000 more over the next four years, including $2,400,000,000 in the current budget year.

Unemployment insurance debt: Reporters asked about the state’s unpaid unemployment insurance (UI) debt originating from the pandemic. Newsom described the UI shortfall as an impact “of the pandemic” and said the administration previously sought a $1,000,000,000 payment toward that liability but was unsuccessful in earlier negotiations with the Legislature. He said the issue remained under negotiation ahead of the May revise.

Budget timeline and risks: Newsom cautioned that the January budget is a snapshot subject to change before the May revise and said federal policy or international events could change revenue projections. He also said the administration identifies a multi-billion-dollar posture to provide flexibility if federal assistance is delayed.

Next steps: The administration plans to submit the budget in January and continue talks with legislative leaders on reserve reforms and options for addressing the UI debt.","Gov.

Gavin Newsom with their regional California Jobs First plan on Monday, outlining priorities for advanced manufacturing, the bioeconomy and clean energy and announcing $9,000,000 in local grants to implement strategies.

Doctor Britt Rios Ellis, president of California State University Stanislaus, said the campus and region succeed together. “When Stan State thrives, the entire Central Valley does too,” she told the governor and attendees.

The plan, delivered by Eric Serrato, convener of the North San Joaquin Valley region and Merced County director of workforce development, emphasizes translating innovation into production because of the region’s proximity to Silicon Valley and available land and logistics infrastructure. “The plan that we are presenting you today — it’s clear and it is decisive,” Serrato said.

Why it matters: Regional leaders say the plan is a locally driven effort intended to produce good jobs while preserving the region’s agricultural and environmental assets. The presentation framed the North San Joaquin Valley as a potential production hub for electric vehicle batteries, climate-related technologies and other manufacturing tied to the state’s clean-energy goals.

Details: Serrato said the region has spoken with more than 700 community stakeholders and that about 200 organizations participated in developing the plan. The plan highlights worker training aligned with industry needs and the state’s master plan on career education, including K–16 alignment and apprenticeships.

Serrato said the region will make $9,000,000 in local grants available to support tactics and that the region expects to attract more than $1,000,000,000 in outside investment to fund the strategy. The plan also calls for cutting red tape, innovating around water use and supporting working parents.

Next steps: Serrato told Newsom the plan will move into a phase of deeper engagement with industry to sharpen tactics. The presentation ended with a ceremonial handoff of the plan and plans for follow-up work with local partners.","Regional leaders presented the North San Joaquin Jobs First plan at Stanislaus State, highlighting advanced manufacturing, bioeconomy and clean energy as target industries, a $9 million local grant program and plans to attract more than $1 billion in outside investment.","actionData","errors"]
