Overview
This bill increases the amount of funding available to the Napa County Housing Authority for farmworker housing centers. Currently, the department provides up to $250,000 in matching funds annually. This bill would raise that amount to $500,000, contingent on the authority demonstrating its ability to continue serving farmworkers’ housing needs and providing matching local funds. The funding is subject to specific prohibitions against state subsidies for employers of certain workers and requires reimbursement of state funds if those employers utilize them.
