Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln met with mayors of California’s Big City Mayors coalition to talk about the homeless crisis and a new funding opportunity Thursday morning.
The conversation focused on a potential $20 billion that the state could approve to further fund housing initiatives and reduce homelessness.
“The $20 billion funding allocations to our cities would help us take bold, actionable steps to mitigate homelessness,” Lincoln said.
More than 80% of Stockton residents view homelessness as a humanitarian crisis and 60% of the homeless population are experiencing behavioral health challenges related to mental health and substance abuse disorder, Lincoln said.
If the funds are approved, “it is imperative that our cities have access to increased levels of flexible funding from the state to adequately address the crisis through more positive initiatives,” the mayor added.

The Florida Senate appears poised to hit the brakes on privacy legislation that has thus far soared through committees in both legislative chambers. The House version (HB 969) and the Senate Version (SB 1734) would have not only created the same consumer privacy rights as the CCPA, the bills would have created
massive private rights of action, far broader than any other privacy law in the United States.
Today, a “strike all” Committee Amendment was offered to the Senate version. TRANSLATION – the Senate Rules Committee, where SB 1734 is now pending, is proposing a “friendly amendment” that would strike the entirety of SB 1734 and replace it with a new version.
