2020 Division Strategic Priorities
The Division's Board of Directors meet every fall to review the previous year’s accomplishments and adopt strategic goals for the following year. The Board of Directors adopted the following goals for 2020:
- Influence legislation and policies to address homelessness, the housing shortage and housing affordability, while preserving local control.
- Secure financial and other resources to ensure resiliency, preparation and recovery from natural and man-made disasters, and the effects of climate change.
- Enhance public safety by supporting legislation, policies and additional funding for criminal justice reform efforts, including the mitigation of impacts of AB 109, Proposition 47, Proposition 57 and other criminal justice laws.
- Support policies to correct the increasing imbalance between state and local revenues and expenses, address the inequities imposed by unfunded state mandates, and initiate discussion to diversify the tax structure to reflect today’s digital and service economy.
