From our friends at EQCA: California has taken historic action to protect healthcare access for transgender youth, but the work isn’t done.

A new federal rule will cut off Medicaid and CHIP funding for medically necessary care for transgender young people beginning October 13.

We’re calling on Governor Gavin Newsom to fight back by providing $10 million in emergency funding and working with EQCA and our partners to establish a state-only billing pathway to protect continued access to care.

From The Office of San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Joaquín Torres:

Affordability and building generational wealth in San Francisco starts with access, and for too many people, the resources that build financial security are out of reach.

That’s why I’m proud to invite you to the Family Wealth Conference, the City’s largest free event for financial education and empowerment.

Join us for a fireside chat with the Department on the Status of Women on resources for women heads of household, free 1-on-1 budgeting sessions with the Office of Financial Empowerment, and an in-depth estate planning presentation from legal experts. As always, we’ll also have a resource fair with the organizations and agencies who can help you and we’ll answer your questions about propery assessment.

Whether you own a home or rent, this is your invitation to access affordable and trusted tools that can help you build a more secure future.
