The attached is a budget memo on the critical need to fully fund administration of the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program from the County Welfare Directors Association and California State Association of Counties. 

This memo provides a status update on the Administration’s reassessment effort, as required by the 2024 Budget Act, an analysis of historical and persistent underfunding of IHSS administration, and the harmful downstream impacts the lack of sufficient funding will have on counties’ abilities to effectively provide timely access to the IHSS program for providers and consumers.
