US EditionGavin Newsom’s Legacy: Can He Deliver on Unmet Promises in His Final Year as Governor?
Newsom confronts an $18 billion budget deficit while aiming to reduce homelessness, expand affordable housing, and preserve health care programs amid political and fiscal pressures.
- This past week, Gov. Gavin Newsom, California governor, addressed the California Legislature and presented the governor's budget proposal as his final year begins.
- Faced with a budget gap, the administration confronts an estimated $18 billion shortfall straining Medi-Cal, while a freeze on new adult enrollment took effect Jan. 1, and advocates fear cuts this year.
- Facing slow gains in housing production, Newsom added just under 120,000 units in 2024, signaled interest in modular housing last month, and quintupled the low-income housing tax credit this year.
- Later this year, undocumented immigrant adults will lose Medi-Cal dental coverage, and last year Newsom undid coverage for working-age adults to close a $12 billion deficit while health advocates warn he may consider further cuts this year.
- This final-year window offers a legislative preview for California, as Gov. Gavin Newsom, California governor, faces pressure to address housing affordability with about 40% of California households burdened and fulfill unachieved 2018 campaign goals before his expected presidential primary run.
