It was announced just just the other day uh that we set an initial goal to get our city's pavement uh condition index which was in the 50s up to our first goal of 60 and continue. Well, we're now we're at 61. So, it shows the pavement condition include 13.8 million on residential street improvements, 31.7 million in arterial streets and corridor enhancements are contracting out. Long Beach has been contracting in and our public works team has been doing an incredible job. So, we want to recognize our public works team uh for continuing uh the hard work of maintaining our streets. We're enacting key priorities outlined in the city auditor street streets street projects and pavement management performance audit. So, we want to thank the city auditor and we want to take her recommendations and we want to continue to make our system better. Water main break may uh may exist and get ahead of it. And so we are asking our our technology our uh utility services to look at future technology to see how we can prevent future catastrophes. We also acknowledge that the elevate 28 capital capital investment program which is a billion dollar will be will have been invested by uh summer of 27. So it's time to begin planning in 2026 for what the next five years looks like. So there's a recommendation to begin the early work of what does it look like to invest? what does the next billion or so of infrastructure look like uh in the city of Long Beach? How do we prioritize projects across our city and begin that discussion? We also, you know, we want to recognize um that we're uh we have uh we've done a lot of work on housing. We have a real opportunity to really advance and accelerate uh homeless prevention, homelessness prevention uh in our city through Measure A. uh we saw that we've we've housed record numbers of people in our city becoming homeless to begin with, you're going to continue to see your numbers go up. That's just a fact of life. And so now with Measure A, we're in a place where we will be the first city in LA County to submit a Measure A plan focused on on permanent affordable housing and upstream prevention. And so that's right. So many of you did the work knocking on the doors to make this happen. This wouldn't have been possible without the adoption of Measure A. It passed with 57% of the vote countywide, but in Long Beach, it was 60% of the vote because we went out and knocked on doors and we we we made sure we had conversations with our neighbors to ensure this is a a priority. As a proponent of this measure and as chair of the newly formed LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency, I'm proud that Measure A is expected and we've secured more than $16 million annually to bring home to the city uh to continue this important work uh with a focus on prevention and permanent pathways into stable and affordable housing. And so uh we are proud to and pathways new pathways uh to housing for everyone. uh these dollars couldn't come couldn't have come at a more critical time considering homeless student protections, budget challenges at state level. This funding and measure A is allowing us to protect our city's progress and respond to newly vulnerable residents and so we have to be intentional how we use these important dollars. Uh these are limited populations. So based on data and national best practice, this plan focuses on three key populations. First, transition age and at risk youth. If you can prevent young people from being homeless at that vulnerable transition age, you can prevent a lifetime of homelessness, that is as upstream as it gets. Secondly, vulnerable s seniors. Based on the data, this is a vulnerable population where we have we can have the greatest impact with focused support so older adults can age with dignity. So that's a second uh area that we're focused on with these dollars. And then thirdly, we are focused on communities impacted by recent federal policy action. So, this includes people now at risk of homelessness due to cuts to healthcare, uh, financial assistance program, as well as residents impacted and families impacted by increasing, uh, immigration enforcement actions which created economic hardships and pushed people to the brink of homelessness. So, if we want people to have to make a cho choice between getting healthcare or paying their rent, uh, or choose between going to work or the risk of potentially being separated from your families. And so we want to make sure that we leverage these dollars to keep our our community stable. Uh with that in mind, that includes a million-doll shallow rental subsidy program for older adults. This was introduced at the st state of the city. A shallow subsidy program is essentially, let's say you're on a fixed in subsidy and keep you stable through that circumstance. And that way you can help more people uh uh who are maybe in that that circumstance. So these are 1.5 million to the tenant right to council program to provide legal assistance and tenant education keep people in youth are actually tied to our uh our goal of achieving um ending youth homelessness in Long Beach and the first milestone is achieving functional zero essentially meaning you have more capacity than your ongoing we believe we can get to that first milestone uh with this plan in the first year and so we'll be in investing uh under crisis response more than 2 and a.5 million in support for emergency interventions for people experiencing homelessness including our continuing our community crisis response teams, interim housing operations, coordinated outreach, and mental health support. Under pathways out of homelessness, there's nearly $8 million in support uh which includes affordable housing production uh dollars. It means youth housing subsidies. It means technical assistance for uh uh we're making an impact on their lives. Over the past few months, we also have seen uh as I mentioned, intense federal in fact uh enforcement actions and other uh uh actions that have uh not only put people at the brink of homelessness, but we are a city that believes in belonging and equity and justice and all of those things. And so, as we uh deliver our budget, we need to make sure those values are reflected here. So, uh, this, uh, based on important feedback, uh, we've, uh, now, um, added measures into the this budget to enhance resources and protections for local immigrant communities. This is our defending our Long Beach values plan. This plan represents more than 500 mill, excuse me, $5 million being made available to our community to prevent economic catastrophe.
