Citing budget constraints and limited funding in the state’s housing assistance programs, California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill on Sept. 6 that would have expanded eligibility to include illegal immigrants.
“Given the finite funding available for [California’s Housing and Finance Agency] programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively,” Newsom said in a veto letter sent to the Assembly.
