Dear Community,

This message [sent on January 9, 2026 by California Department of Developmental Services] provides a budget update and ends with a “special note.” Read on!

Budget Update

Earlier this morning, Governor Newsom released the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year that begins July 1, 2026. This proposed budget is known as “the Governor’s Budget”, or the “Jan 10 budget.” It is found on the Department of Finance’s website (https://ebudget.ca.gov/home).

The Governor’s budget contains several proposals to close the $2.9 billion difference between the money California will take in during 2026-27 and what the State will spend. For the developmental disability services system, the Governor’s Budget includes $21.1 billion for 2026-27.

- This is an increase of $2.4 billion over our current budget.
- The proposed budget increase funds services for approximately 37,600 more people next year, and regional center costs to support them.
- We estimate supporting nearly 527,000 individuals next year!
- Details of the proposed budget can be found on our website in the FY 2026-27 accordion (https://www.dds.ca.gov/transparency/budget-information/).
