Talk about the states response. I believe he is stepping up to the podium. Lets listen in to Governor Newsom. Wear here in the sacramento area to make a number of announcements and continue our daily briefings. At the announcement today is an announcement that is near and dear to me an to mayor stainberg and karen larson around the the issue of homelessness. We are at fay silt here in the sacramento area that currently has 30 individuals that were out e streets in encampments that were brought recently to get them off the street to begin the process of basically de well, let me back up. To basically decompress and moreover to address the real vulnerabilities of homelessness in this state and the ins of covid19 as it relates to the impact on the Homeless Population throughout the state. This has been a point of real concern for all of us for a number of months. A top priority since the covid crisis began to manfest. We are pleased today with the partnership we have with fema, the partnerships that we have with counties up and down the state of california that weve identified roughly 7,000 hotel rooms that are now in our possession where we have occupancy agreements an we are now Building Partnerships newout the state of california on the way to getting 15,000 in phase one of our efforts. Fema remarkably appear to their credit have create a template, first in the nation in partnership with the state of california where people as providing 57 reimbursement for this project. This is first in the nation, their support is profoundly significant to address this crisis head on. It is all around making sure that we address the most vulnerable californians with kind of acuity and focus that is required of this moment. The bucket of support for fema is very focused. It is not limitless by any stretch of the imagination. It is focused specifically on individual Homeless Populations that have been exposed to the virus that specifically are deemed high risk. That would be our seniors encampments and in tents and those that have tested positive for covid19. That is the bucket for reimbursement that fema has advanced. It is all around saving lives and it is all around, as i suggest, decompressing our medical system, particularly our hospitals in the state of california. We are already seeing hundreds and hundreds of individuals now off the streets and sidewalks and into these noncongregate sites. We want to relieve the stress in our shelter system so we can separate individuals undealtly mattly again relieve the impact in the medical Delivery System if left unarested, we allow our most vulnerable residents in the state of california to be exposed to this virus. This was the crisis that predated the Current Crisis in the state of california and were doing everything we can in our power to meet it head on. Its countystate partnership with the driveling the car and the state of California Building the car. We put together the technical teams of expertise. We are working with the counties as they identify the sites to get the operating agreements up an running, to make sure they are reimbursed appropriately and to make sure that we have essential staffing needs met at the sites. Let me be specific about what i mean by essential staffing needs. We are doing Laundry Service. We are having intake process that is appropriate to the site to the extent security is an issue, we will make sure we attach some priority to security. But doing Something Else that is profoundly significant. We had chef jose a ndc s of world central kitchen would is providing meals as we begin the process of decompressing and getting people off that ship. He was there providing three meals a day for all the passengers and crew. His organization is now going to be providing three meals a day for all our homeless on these sites. An incredible contribution to the efforts and it just shows you the spirit of people meeting this moment, the spirit that defines this moment, the spirit of generosity and support and so i just cannot thank world central kitchen enough for connecting themselves to this cause, connecting themselves to this movement and providing those meals, working with local restaurateurs in each of the regions throughout the state of california to help support these efforts. That is the framework. Phase one, 15,000 units, roughly 7,000 that weve already identified. We begin to move these contracts, county by county, country High Pressure run, stateled in term of providing the framework of support. But we recognize the county stress, the city stress as it relates to resources. That is why it is important that i remind all of you that we have provided some 800 million in addition to the iden motels an hotels newout the hav gone out just in the last number of weeks. The 650 million that was proved if last years budget to the cities an counties an cocs to provide for support services and identify sites to address the homeless crisis and the 150 million because of the leadership of tony atkins an anthonnery rendon that we were able to pry prioritize just a few weeks back. 850million of glantz. Did the 150 million of the new awards that are gone tout support this effort. 75 reimbursement from people a there should be no excuse for us to begin to scale these it cant come soon enough because we had one death of a homeless individual in santa clara and we had a number of counties in the last days that have reported incidences of positive test results in counties large and small including San Francisco but other counties in l. A. That have shown at least a dozen, in fact, 14 in our last count. By the way, that is an undercount. That is just what has been reported to us. But heightened concern around the need to do more in our congregate facilities to isolate people into shelter like this and provide those basic essential services as we work through this crisis. Just a few final points before i bring over the head of our Homeless Task force, mayor darryl steinberg, to say a few words. It is important to note as well that this is also an operation being supported by the support of the federal government, 118. 5 million of direct homeless grants additional res that will be quickly disbursed throughout the state of california to augment some of the concerns around these facilities being temporary. A and want to make this point before i bring up the mayor. The anxiety often is, well, this is wonderful to help us for three, four months to get us through this crisis. But what happens after that . If you are a county leader, youre saying im not sure we are in a position to have the resewer to continue these operations. That is why the federal dollars are important. That is why im high heighting them and i want folks to know at the county level and city level, this was the crisis we needed to address before the covid19 crisis and we are anot walking way from meeting that crisis headon as we move through this process. That is why these operating agreements or these occupancy agreements in place like this include extensions and all the new templates that we have just engaged in in the last few weeks include purchase options. So the state of california can help support through philanthropy, log Government Support are the the opportunity to purchase these sites so we can look more long term as this being part of our panoply of solution to address the homeless crisis. Its long way of saying this. We are not just thinking short term. We are also beginning to process an orientation, a focus, an income around long term supports so we can get people off the streets in a permanent way but, again, this could not happen without femas extraordinary support and partnership and the partnership of leaders like the leader ill be asking to the mic in just a second. That isette head of our Homeless Task force, the mayor of sacramento and someone who has been out front to this year for years and is here once again to seat crisis of homeless and crisis of covid come together in a way that only reinforces this sense of urgency but moreover, reinferss why we are pleased and proud thats mayor of sacramento and leading the efforts throughout state of california, darryl darrell steinberg. Reporter thank you very much, governor. Let me begin by thanking you. You often talk and have talked frequently over these last days about californians meeting the moment. You are meeting the moment. And more than meeting the moment in every way here. And were grateful and proud that you are at the helm and that you are leading not just on this crucial issue of homelessness but on every other aspect of this unprecedented situation. So thank you. It was a little less than eight weeks ago, i believe, that you stood in the state capital and you delivered the state of the state address. What was unique about that state of state address, it was the first time anyone could remember that a governor would devote nearly all of his or her address to the issues ever homelessness and mental health. And you called it a crisis and, as you said a moment ago, your work with the legislature has put forward hundreds of millions of dollars before the crisis for sees and counties ab streets indoors, to serve their needs, to address their underlying conditions and to keep them housed. And you asked your task force to come up with a set of recommendations and much of our work was centered on the idea that maybe it ought to be required to bring people indoors, not just be an option. And you embraced that idea. But the idea was to take with grate sense of urgency, a recollect any that it would probably take several years before we were able to implement this in large numbers. And now less than eight weeks after that state of the state address, the covid crisis has given us together an unprecedented opportunity to move up that time line in a most appropriate and aggressive way. And so i want to thank you for highlighting this issue today but more importantly, i want to thank you and your administration for providing the resources, the tools and Technical Assistance for our county partners and our City Partners to be able to do what we all have wanted to do and now have the opportunity to do and that is to bring people in and not by the hundreds but by the thousands. For you alluded to appropriately a moment ago. Unsheltered homelessness was a crisis before covid19. It is a heightened crisis during this epidemic. And if we do our part now, it could be less of a crisis as we come out of this. That is the Incredible Opportunity we all have together during this most difficult time. And i know on behalf of all of the mayors and the local elected officials, we are grateful to have a state that is and an administration that is leaning in, partnering with us, providing us the resources. Our promise on the other side must be that we are going to do everything we can to implement this strategy as quickly as possible. So i thank you for the opportunity. And i turn it back over governor. Thank support and leadership on this homeless issue. Let me briefly update everybody on the total number of positives in the state of california, number hospitalized, the number in icu. Total number of positives today reported 10,710 in the state of california. We have 2188 vings that are hospitalized and 901 that are in icu. That 901 number reports a 10. 4 increase from the previously reported number yesterday. We continue to do more and more on testing. Tomorrow, ill abe putting out some more specific and printive strategies and guidelines an updates on our testing protocols in the state of california. We continue to procure more physical space in the state including nearby, the sleeptrain arena and we are actually beginning the construction today on that project. All throughout the state of california, progress is being made and on monday, i will lay out details of all the physical assets that have now been procured as part of our larger hospital Surge Program including all those 2,000 units of medical support that came from those eight fms sites that were procured through the president s support. To the issue that are our top focus in addition to homelessness, today, we continue to all focus with acuity on what is happening in our Skilled Nursing facilities, what is happening with our Senior Center and our adult day care facility throughout the state of california. We said that homelessness and our seniors were our top priorities. They remain so much that is where so much of our energy and focus resides and appropriately so. The vulnerabilities within those pop lays, within those communities but more broadly, we are doing what we can to continue to take advantage of this lull as it relates to not yet being at peak and taking advantage of every moment, every minute, every hour and every day to continue to build our capacity and build our points of access. That capacity includes the apartment of ppe that we are receiving from around the world through our own efforts and again, with whatever support we can get from the federal government. I promise on a daily basis to update individuals just as the proxy for ppe, the have as of t distributed now just over 38 million n59 masks in the state of california. As soon as we get those masks in, we get them out as quickly as possible. Well need tens of millions more, hundreds of millions more masks, more broadly defined, surgical masks an shields and overall appear gowns and gloves and those procurement practices and shy chains are being activated all around the globe. We continued to find arrest source more ventilators. Found a few hundred more from the l. A. County region that we are retrofitting back up in sunny veil, bloom energy and continuing to resource and stack up the ventilator assets as well. In addition to that, now, almost 7 athousand, over 74,000 people have signed up on our health corps website which is just incredible. That is the Human Resource part of all of this. Remember, three legged stool you need the fill points of ask section you need the appropriate protective greer and supplies, ventilators not just gowns and masks and we need the people that are retired to come back and those with expertise as radiologists and emts paramedics, nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors and the like to get ready to participate in helping us support and we are treabling those individuals as well. Can you help as well as individuals. Serve. Ca. Gov. Serve. Ca. Gov. That is our website for information if you want to help folks like the folks that are now behind me no individual, shelters, food banks. That is the site to go to. It also has a volunteer link to cal volunteers more broadly defined of how can you volunteer. How can you contributed blood, not just time at the blank bank. All of the things we are required to do more of at this moment. That is the site weve created it help advance that cause and they want collective cause of all of us doing more on a daily basis. Including the ad moppation that ill always remind you you, continue to practice safe physical distancing and social distancing. Continue to practice physical distancing above and beyond and everything else. We have done a remarkable job in the state of california inform we continue to do that job, it will continue to buy us time before that peak. If we can continued to do more projects just like this, and if we do that, you are quite literally responsible for saving lives. And there is no greater or more Noble Pursuit in life than being able to look back and say you met and grandkids because you did the right thing. Just by practicing safe physical distancing, continuing to stay at home except for essential purposes, i think you will have met that moment in profound and significant ways. With that, we are happy to answer any questions. Thank you, governor. We are get a number of questions from different outlets asking you to clarify who is paying for these hotel leases and who might step in to finance them moving forward once the pandemic is over. I tried to lay that out in my remarks. Heat me reinforce more specifically. We have the first in the nation framework of support to have fema reimburse 75 of the cost as long as we do what we are required to do and that is focus on a subset of the Homeless Population that are covid19 positive, have been exposed or are high risk. And the job and responsibility for the state is to provide the Technical Expertise to the counties to make sure that we are conducting and appropriating that commitment in the responsible and legal way. So that is 75 . As i said, specifically, we provided 650 million of emergency grants. All those award letters, now 100 of the award letters are already out. Counties and cities were already spending that money against those award letters but now the award letters are out which means that the flood gate on all of those dollars and we put out 1 50 million in the last few weeks of emergency aid because of the support of the legislature. So that should address the issue of the 25 gap amply for the cities and counties and as i said, beyond that, very clearly, we are looking at our new leases. These occupancy leases that have month to month extensions and have the ability to have purchase of these properties through a right of first refusal or at least a right of first offer on all contracts that we are now procuring. An we are not walking way from our obligations on homelessness. State of california has entered into that space in unprecedented ways and as long as im your governor, ill be there doing everything in my power to support the cities and counties so that we can continue to keep people in an environment where theyre safe, particularly in the noncongregate environments. To the extent that we can continue to juice these assets that wear procuring at this moment. An to follow up on that, some homeless adequate are saying that people arent being moved off street fast enough at this point. Can you clarify how many people have been housed so far and how many you hope to house . With this specific program, and again, we have 58 counties, 407 plus cities doing a magnificent job. In certain cases, not doing good enough, in other cases that continue all of their homeless operations with all of the new money that the state of california has provided. And so that is separate and above. But let me be specific to what we call project room key which is this program. 15,000 units that we will identify and procure under this new fema framework, just shy of 7,000 have already received occupancy agreements. An we have 869 people that are already in hotels just like that including 30 of the 34 units this this hotel. I want to caution people, we dont want everyone flooding in to all 6867 of the existing rooms. That number roughly 7,000. We want to make sure we create some slack so, as we manage the situation, and we decompress the rest of the system, we are adoing in a very judicious and thoughtful way. That is exactly how we are appropriating ourselves with the hospital surge as well. You dope want to run to capacity to early. You want to do it in a methodical way. So the answer to the question that the advocates pose is theyre right and we recognize good enough never is. But i dope know another state that has gotten close to 7,000 Housing Units just in a few weeks that has an agreement, none do, with fema to get reimburse appear now a real process an protocol that is bottom up, county by county to begin to triage individual appears move them quickly and effectively appear safely in an orderly way into hotel rooms. Im very proud of that. A number of reporters have questions about the states modeling an when we will see a peak in the number of infected cases with covid19. So some models oop the state show the state may be having a peak in april. Im wondering why is californias modeling doesnt different and go ahead. I cant answer to what specific model someone else has. There are certainly National Models that show april. We are that i very different place than, for example, new york. We are in a different place than other parts of country. There is a unique set of circumstances in this state. Every day, it is dynamic. Every day, were iterative in terms of incorp. Ing new data sets be trend lined an updating our modeling. That is what our modeling shows. Our modeling is not done in isolation. It is done in collaboration. It is done with the systems, the Health Care Professionals. It is done by taking a look at everybody else as modeling and encryptorring some inputs on the basis of their expectations and we recalibrate ours and that is what our modeling shows and right now, i can only say this since we put those models to the public a few days ago, all they have been in the last three days is reinforced. So we are standing by eyes open on a daily base ir, those models get adjustmented. When is your modeling showing that california will hit the peak infection rate . As we showed everybody just a few days ago when dr. Galli presented those models to the t see things begin to peak. And so that is where we currently are. We dont have an exact date because every day adjustmented and i dont want to say on this particular date well see a peak. Anyone who can say that is misleading you. And so on the basis of our current modeling, we are in those first few weeks of may. Matt levin, cal matter, asks what is the status of the 1300 trailers that were pro cured from fema and how many have already been distributed and are operational . There are 1305 trailer of which 584, i believe and ill aget you a clarifying roughly have been distributed throughout the state. All rest, we are trying to get out as quickly as possible. The challenge is the state is not every part of state. Meaning i as governor cannot site them against the wills of the local unless i want to get the local government to be supportive. We are working with the governments like sacramento, the city and the mayor and l. A. , San Francisco, others that being used. There are some circumstances where avenue he given trailers and they are not being used so they are doing in that i very thoughtful and methodical way. I should know we got another 28 that were contributed this morning. We are very proud of that. So were now north of 130 trailer but we are trying to get them out as quickly as those sites are offered by the cities an counties an we are starting to see those efforts at the local level really start to bear fruit. John ruich of npr asks, given the oregano ongoing challenges in procuring personal protective equipment and ventilator and states bidding against each other, when specific changes would you like to see people and at white house make today to improve procurement . Im the no going to offer advice at that scale. I am dealing with its nation state at scale with million folks and we are working very, very collaboratively with our private sector persons and within and around our supply chain and with fema specifically. We are blessed to have bob fenton who is the regional fema administrator would happens to be a resident of state of california and we are aworking hand in glove with him as it relates to that supply chain of ventilators. Clearly, the National Stockpile will be insufficient to provide the ventilators that well need and the ventilators that will be needed to the rest of the country. That is why were not relying on the National Stockpile. We havent received one ventilator yet and i dont anticipate that rather than rol complaining about that, we are going out and securing new ventilators an refurbishing ventilatorsies in what that i think would do well, that make us all i think thud should make us all very proud. I want to clarify so people understand, there has been some reporting about roughly 170 ventilator has did come from the National Stockpile. Those didnt come to the state of california. There is a separate agreement in l. A. County from the National Stockpile for ppe. Those are the ones that came into l. A. County. As you know, we had to refurbish the vast majority of those. They are now fully operational and theyre back in the hands of l. A. County health officials. We have over youve heard this number before, 4252 ventilators that we have sourced ourselves and identified. We have a few hundred more that came in this morning the not all of them are working. Well get them fixed. Ill be updating that number in the next few days. We are doing what we can to find as ny vents as we can. And final point, virgin as i sp they showing their prototypes on these bridge ventilators. Just another proof point of the kind of creativity that a lot of the manufacturers here in the state of california are advancing and offering their products in real time that we also hope can help bridge the need for many, many more ventilators. Who is footing the bill for those companies that are, as you say stepping up and producing things like ventilators an ppe. Is the state paying them for that work or are they donating it . If you affect me what seven eleven has done versus what the gap has done versus some of the distilleries that are converting into hand sanitizing, companies, each and every instance is different. You have companies that are contributing all of that. Appear that with hair masks that arrived. The ventilators that elon musk provided, 100 contributed, no cost to the pax dayer. There is a modest cost to refurbish some of the ventilator and that is borne through our emergency grants, borne by state dollars to the extent appropriate on the front end and we get reimbursements on the back end. In each and every instance, the answer is different based upon the largesse, the contribution or creativity at play. The can you generally characterize how much has been donated and how much the state has been spending. Well give you an updated number on that. Im just trying to procure in real time all of these assets. But it is an extraordinary amount off money, energy being time and volunteer and philanthropic support that we are seeing. It is unprecedented and it is in the hundreds and hundreds of millions, billions of dollars when we are done. Angela hart of Kaiser Health news haze question about the States Health corps. She asks will the state be paying the Health Care Professionals and will they essentially be temporary employees of state and if not, can you please explain where funding will come from to hire them . They are being paid, they are being compensated. There was an additional contribution, another specific proof point to your tv question, 25 million was provided by facebook, specifically mark zuckerberg, and priscilla, his wife to help with the stipend for that work force for transportation, child care and for hotel space so they can stay close to their care very or to their patients. We are triaging all 74,000 plus appear indications in real time. That alone is going to take hundreds of folks going through the appear indications matching people to needs, wage requests, wage capacity. That will be borne within the health care Delivery System, the hospitals specifically. Many will be part of our larger Delivery System, be paid for by traditional sources be it state or federal support. And against augmented by private sectors willingness to help with all of the incident at costs socialed with that work force. They are compensated. They are not a volunteer work force. Which Homeless Individuals should be placed into isolation housing. Are you prioritizing people based on if they are infected or could be infectedded or if they are elderly . Fema has specific guidelines as it relates to project room key, this investigate program. We are doing all kinds of other work at the local, regional and state level on the issue of homelessness broadly defined. This is a subset of that work. This specific subset requires three things and we have to be very des of that triage. Number one, if you are covid positive, that is an isolation responsibility and it is an opportunity in this new partnership. Number two, if youve been exposed to the virus, meaning, for example, othersy to understand example, if you are in a shelter and an individual has been there, asymptomatic, may have been spreading it but ultimately was covid identified, there is a likelihood that others may be infected or a staff member was infected, that is someone that is likely exposed and we are trying to get them out of a congregate facility into a noncongregated, more isolated setting which a second point of approach. There are Underlying Health issues. They are living out on the streets and sidewalks and that would apply under that definition. That is the prioritization. It is 357 from fema and with all the money the state is providing locals, they can easily pick up that 25 and then we all Work Together to figure out how we can deal with the long term needs of a homeless crisis that again predates the covid19 crisis. Alisa ross of telemundo has a question about the requests that senators have been asking for you more relief for undocumented workers. Can you clarify if you are doing anything on that front. No state in america does more to help residents regardless of their immigration status an im very proud of the work that we did together last. To expand our Health Care Capacity more normally. Not on the emergency side but on a preemptive side, on the side of providing Health Insurance for those that were uninsured. Well continue to do more and we have very specific processes on every proposal that we advance publicly. We have a culturally competent come popent of those proposals which is a long way of saying this. That we always consider those that are documented, those are that are undocumented, those living in mixed status families, let me give you an example of what i mean. Just yesterday, i announced the work were doing to help support Small Businesses. I very specifically mentioned in my remarks yesterday that there are many businesses, tens of thousands of businesses that do not and cannot get the support of the sba. Those individual businesses, we are making available these emergency grants through our bank to do these microloans to provide access. That is an example of what were doing to provide support for people across the panoply including those without documentation in the state of california. More will be done. More needs to be done. Final question from Jessica Rosenthal of fox news. She says shes been getting inquiries from doctors an other Health Care Workers in los angeles about testing for them and she is wondering if you guys have a plan to prioritize testing for Health Care Workers and if you are looking at expanding testing for that particular group . And first responders. The answer is yes and yes. Tomorrow, he will be laying out this time tomorrow our new testing strategies, protocols, moving not just towards more pcr tests, but also serolo gift cal. Tests, look at proteins, antibodies, but more broadly looking to expand points of access and the raidity of the tests. This is a huge issue as the commercial labs have much large lines because so many tastes are now being done at the same time. It is taking six, seven to 12 days to get test results back. So we want rapid tests. We want point of care tests. We want bloodbased tests, not just the traditional swab pcr tests and well be laying out very detailed terms, what our new expectations are and what we are promoting tomorrow at this time. So with that, i appreciate always the questions. I hope were providing some specifics as it relates to responses. We are working on other issues even touched on that touch the lives of millions and millions of californian addressing the challenge in our jail system to our california corrections system, more broadly dedined, cdcr in making sure we are working with probation and parole and continuing our work to address the agitis coming up around payroll, tax being dune on april 10th. Encouraging people to sign up for the new federal programs, Small Business loan programs, loan forgiveness loan programs that we promoted yesterday. Following up on all the things weve been promoting including perhaps the most important thing you can do outside. You are listening to Governor Newsom giving hi daily update. So many different stories, so many different angles to this pandemic. Right off the top, just giving you some numbers here. The governor saying 10,710 confirmed cases here in the golden state. More than 2100 people currently in the hospital. 900 people in the icu. That icu number he mentioned a 10 increase compared to yesterday. Also, 74,000 people signing up for that health Corps Program which is phenomenal. Those are retired doctors and nurses an dentists coming forward saying im ready to help in california. If there was a head line, it was protecting Homeless Population right here in california. The governor mentioning that the state has gotten its hands on thousands of hotel rooms. Thats right. He said it is all about saving lives. He talked about, in his words, hundreds of people who were live living on the streets in shelters an they are now in safe and secure rooms. It is identifying those people word homeless and most at risk and getting them to safety and working with fema. The governor said they are three clear guidelines here to identify those who need help from fema first. First of all, someone who is homeless and diagnosed with the coronavirus. Second of all, someone who is homeless an identified as being in close contact with someone who has tested positive. Finally, those word at higher risk. 6 and above have other Underlying Health conditions that could put them at particular risk if they were to develop the coronavirus. The governor kept talking about the importance of really focusing on those would are most vulnerable but he made it clear there was already a homelessness crisis in california. You put the coronavirus pandemic on top of that, he says that is one of the many reasons our state has to and is asking quickly. So he praised the services that are opening up saying they are not just provide a bet to sleep in and food to eat. They said there is Laundry Service available, Security Officers there. Again, it is about keeping people word most vulnerable for developing the coronavirus safe because, like you can always let your imagination run while if you think about if one person in a homeless encampment were to contract coronavirus, very little access to running water, very little access to any sort of cleaning measure. So again, it is all about keeping the risk as low as possible. The governor says with californias help and the federal governments help, california is doing just that. We will keep digesting the news we just got and bring you more news of the day after this quick break. Caused by bad bacteria in food . Try pepto diarrhea.
