Leaders say they plan to focus on serving families most in need, including those facing unstable housing, those with children with disabilities or who are lower-income and immigrant families, especially those with no documentation or mixed documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, officials said the step California lawmakers took to ban the sale of most flavored tobacco products in late 2022 led to a greater decline in tax revenue and added to the need to make steep cuts. Other programs are being affected beyond Family Resource Centers, including some that support children’s mental health and well-being and home visitation services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last five fiscal years, revenues for the First 5 Santa Clara County averaged $26.3 million annually, with about $14 million coming from Proposition 10. This year, tobacco tax funding is down to about $11 million, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do anticipate that for some families, this will be really difficult because their local or their closest Family Resource Center will be closing,” said Jennifer Kelleher Cloyd, CEO of First 5 Santa Clara County. “Our Family Resource Centers have been kind of the hallmark of First 5 work for many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cloyd said that because First 5 was the primary or sole funder for many of these centers, the organization has been encouraging and supporting nonprofits that carry out this work to seek out other funding from grants, foundations, corporations or local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are really committed to trying to make sure we have communication for families about where else they can continue to access resources,” Cloyd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First 5 chapters from around the state are also appealing to legislators to find other sources of money to backfill early childhood and family support as tobacco tax revenues continue to fall. But it’s unclear if or when that could materialize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the state grappling with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985932/newsoms-solution-to-a-45-billion-budget-deficit\">an estimated $45 billion budget deficit\u003c/a>, additional funding cuts may be in the works. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s May budget revision proposed more cuts to programs and services aimed at young children and families, First 5 said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely very painful to see,” Ceja said of the center closures and the loss of some staff members. “At the end of the day, they are part of the community, and people love them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11987552/several-family-resource-centers-to-close-across-santa-clara-county","authors":["11906"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_402","news_22570","news_18188","news_21285"],"featImg":"news_11987556","label":"news"},"news_11985190":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11985190","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11985190","score":null,"sort":[1715108441000]},"parent":0,"labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"blocks":[],"publishDate":1715108441,"format":"standard","title":"South Bay’s VTA Says It Can’t Back Regional Transit Tax Measure","headTitle":"South Bay’s VTA Says It Can’t Back Regional Transit Tax Measure | KQED","content":"\u003cp>The South Bay’s main transit agency has come out against a state Senate bill that would pave the way for a 2026 regional tax measure to raise money for the Bay Area’s bus, train and ferry operators and other transportation needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In voting last week to oppose \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1031\">SB 1031, known as the Connect Bay Area Act\u003c/a>, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority board cited the possibility that putting the measure on the ballot in 2026, which other transit agencies and legislators are pushing for to plug expected budget gaps, could undercut the county’s efforts to get voters to reauthorize existing transportation sales taxes, among other concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Lawson, the VTA’s chief of external affairs, said Santa Clara County sales taxes raise about $900 million a year for transit and transportation in the Bay Area’s most populous county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we do not have the ability to say whether or not this is the right time to put something (new) on the ballot, we have a serious existential problem,” Lawson told the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson did not clarify the district’s concerns about the potential election date, and a VTA representative said Monday that the agency “is not prepared to address an election date at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area transit agencies, advocates and legislators pushing for a vote in November 2026, responding to potentially catastrophic budget deficits caused by declining ridership and the slow return of daily work commuters, have argued that that’s the latest date a vote could help BART, Muni and other operators get the cash needed to avoid major service cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Metropolitan Transportation Commission estimates that regionwide transit deficits will total at least $700 million a year starting in 2026.
