Republicans and Democrats alike in California are sounding the alarm over a proposal by Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> to slash his budget commitment for foster care services by two-thirds.<\/p>\n

The Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program assigns thousands of volunteers to act as liaisons for individual foster kids<\/a> within California\u2019s child welfare system. Newsom previously committed $60 million in new funding for the program over a three-year period.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s $297 billion state\u00a0budget proposal, however, slashed that commitment to $20 million as his state faces a\u00a0$22.5-billion projected budget deficit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the\u00a0California Department of Finance told Fox News Digital that the cut is necessary for closing the shortfall.<\/p>\n

TRUMP, NEWSOM ECHO EACH OTHER’S ATTACKS IN EFFORT TO TAKE DOWN DESANTIS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“When the Governor submitted his budget to the Legislature in January, the state had to close a budget shortfall projected at $22.5 billion,” H.D. Palmer, the\u00a0deputy director for external affairs, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“This required the administration to propose a range of measures to pull back on spending that had previously been enacted,” the statement read. “Pulling back future funding for the CASA program is a proposal, like many others, that would not have been put forward were it not for the necessity of closing the shortfall.”<\/p>\n

Sharon Lawrence, chief executive for the California CASA Association, told The Los Angeles Times<\/a> that CASA programs had already made plans for the original $60 million.<\/p>\n

State assemblymembers on the budget committee met in February, when Republican\u00a0Tom Lackey and Democrat Reggie Jones-Sawyer united in opposing the cut, The Times reported.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0California CASA Association thanked both leaders on Twitter over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Kamilah Priforce, a councilmember for the City of Emeryville, said Saturday that the issue hit close to home.<\/p>\n

“This is unfortunate,” he tweeted. “If a program like this existed when my brother aged out of the foster care system, he would still be alive.\u00a0#FosterCare\u00a0#GroupHome\u00a0#Orphans.”<\/p>\n

Negotiations between Newsom\u2019s administration and the legislature will kick off in May after the governor releases his budget revisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
