ACTION: ACTION 9.1: ON MOTION of Supervisor Montgomery Steppe, seconded by Supervisor Lawson-Remer, the Board of Supervisors took the following actions: 1. Directed the Chief Administrative Officer to conduct an analysis of the County of San Diego’s operational capacity needs in response to the proposed federal and state changes, including but not limited to [Board Letter Recommendation No. 1]: a. Conduct an analysis of Self-Sufficiency Services staffing needs to preserve current processing speeds and wait times for Medi-Cal and CalFresh applications. Without adequate staffing to absorb the increased administrative burden and red tape in proposed federal legislation, thousands of San Diego residents risk losing access to vital healthcare and food assistance. This analysis should quantify additional staffing required each year to preserve service levels while absorbing the increased administrative burden imposed by proposed federal changes, and detail recruitment, training, and retention efforts that will be needed. This analysis should be done in consultation with the Medicaid Ad Hoc Subcommittee, to ensure alignment with broader County efforts to safeguard access to care. Report back by July 22, 2025, with this analysis. b. Conduct an analysis of In-Home Supportive Services provider shortfalls and anticipated service-delivery gaps that are projected to result from proposed state legislative changes including, but not limited to, caps to overtime and travel hours, which will disproportionately impact rural individuals with care needs. Report back by July 22, 2025, with this analysis. 2. Directed the Chief Administrative Officer to develop a comprehensive strategy to address the most severe impacts of anticipated federal cuts, including options to sustain key programs identified in this item. This strategy should include identification of potential funding sources that should include, but not be limited to: unassigned fund balances made available by a revised reserve policy, mid-year budget adjustments through operating results, state and federal grants, intergovernmental cost-sharing, philanthropic partnerships, and other potential revenue options-to cover these expenses without undermining other critical services. Report back by Board on September 30, 2025 with options and recommendations. [Board Letter Recommendation No. 3] a. Self-Sufficiency staffing to support continued processing of Medicaid, CalFresh, CalWORKS and other critical eligibility programs b. In-Home Supportive Services Memorandum of Understanding c. Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (Residential Recovery) d. Senior Transportation Program e. Supporting Partnerships in CalAIM and Medi-Cal Transformation f. LGBTQ+ Affirming Homelessness Prevention & Housing Support g. Affordable Housing Development (Innovative Housing Trust Fund) h. Tenant Legal Services 3. Waived Board Policy A-72 Agenda and Related Process, Section 2.C.2.ii, which establishes required timelines for review when preparing a Board Letter. [Board Letter Recommendation No. 4] 4.

Report back by July 22, 2025, with a communications plan that can be implemented once policy details have been formalized. The plan should include a multi-channel communication system-such as text messages, automated calls, emails, and posters-with materials available in multiple languages. It should also identify community partners (e.g., food banks, clinics, and school districts) to help disseminate information about federal service disruptions.

1. AUTHORIZATION FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL TO PARTICIPATE IN VIENNA SOCIAL HOUSING FIELD STUDY (DISTRICTS: ALL) SUBJECT: OVERVIEW In accordance with Board of Supervisors Policy D-7, Out-of-County Business and Related Guidelines and Processes and Administrative Code section 470, Supervisor Joel Anderson and Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe are requesting approval to attend the Fall 2025 Global Policy Leadership Academy (GPLA) Social Housing Field Study: “International Best Practices in Mixed-Income Housing” in Vienna, Austria. This six-day program is coordinated by GPLA and LeSar Development Consultants and will immerse delegates in a series of lectures, panels, and site visits to multiple social housing developments. Supervisor Anderson and Supervisor Montgomery Steppe were both invited to participate in this field study as panelists, sharing insights from San Diego’s housing efforts while learning from Vienna’s internationally recognized housing model. Their participation in this field study will offer valuable insights and best practices that can inform San Diego County’s efforts to increase affordable housing supply, reduce homelessness, and pursue sustainable development. Today’s request is for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors to approve both Supervisors’ travel to Austria to attend the study scheduled for September 21 through September 27, 2025. RECOMMENDATION(S) SUPERVISOR JOEL ANDERSON AND SUPERVISOR MONICA MONTGOMERY STEPPE Per Administrative Code 470, approve Supervisor Joel Anderson and Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe’s travel to Austria for participation in the Fall 2025 Global Policy Leadership Academy’s Vienna Social Housing Field Study: “International Best Practices in Mixed-Income Housing” scheduled for September 21 through September 27, 2025. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT Participating in the Vienna Social Housing Field Study aligns with the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ (Board) ongoing commitment to equity in housing and service delivery. Vienna’s housing model demonstrates successful strategies for integrating low- and moderate-income housing across diverse neighborhoods, reducing housing insecurity, and fostering mixed-income communities. The insights gained from this international delegation will support the County in identifying policy solutions that promote access, inclusion, and affordability for all residents, particularly those in historically underserved communities. SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT STATEMENT This action supports the County of San Diego’s Sustainability Goal of fostering resilient, livable communities. Vienna’s planning approach combines social housing with strong environmental and transportation planning principles, offering models that could inform the County’s future land use, energy efficiency, and housing design policies. Tuesday, June 24, 2025 1

FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this request are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 CAO Recommended Operational Plan in the Board of Supervisors District Two and District Four budgets based on General Purpose Revenue. The estimated cost is up to $20,000 for each office budget. This request will not result in any change in net General Fund cost or require additional staff years. BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT N/A 2.

We serve the needs of communities with diverse groups including Black, Indigenous, people of Color, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, people of low‐income, the young, the older, immigrants, refugees and communities that have historically faced inequality and inequity.
