This year’s the Governor’s proposed budget presents a significantly different tone than those of the last few years. It reflects lower revenues, a $1.6 billion projected shortfall, an expected economic downturn and deep uncertainty about what the federal government will do regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and other federal programs. In fact, the proposal is based on current federal policy and doesn’t account for possible cuts to the estimated $20 billion or more that California relies on for health insurance subsidies and expanded Medi-Cal coverage.

This annual look at the state’s budget with the California Budget and Policy Center (CBPC) Executive Director Chris Hoene will provide a high-level analysis of the Governor's 2017-18 proposed Budget —especially in light of threats to the ACA and safety net programs -- and outline the policy choices and outcomes that are likely to emerge in this year's budget deliberations.

Following the presentation will be analysis and discussion with nonprofit leaders who will provide insights on the impact of potential federal changes and implication of the budget on nonprofits, local communities, and government.
