📰 News we're reading
• CalOptima Health, AltaMed, and City of Santa Ana Initiate Street Medicine Program to Address Homelessness (fullertonobserver.com) — A new Street Medicine Program is rolling out in Santa Ana, bringing mobile doctors and support services directly to people living on the streets, with a goal of connecting them to permanent housing. Backed by CalOptima Health, AltaMed, and the City, the effort targets roughly 500 unsheltered residents and builds on millions already invested in local housing projects. 
• CA Governor's Office Issues Rewards In Multiple Cold Case Investigations (patch.com) — State officials have posted a $50,000 reward for information in several cold cases, including the 2019 killing of 18-year-old Victoria Barrios in Santa Ana. Residents who know anything about the East Pine Street drive-by shooting are urged to contact Santa Ana police to help bring answers to her family.
• Orange Again Poised to Bank on Sales Tax Increase to Bail Out Bleak Budget (voiceofoc.org) — Santa Ana city leaders are grappling with a multi‑million‑dollar budget gap and are considering a November tax measure, similar to what officials in Orange and Fullerton are weighing. While Orange is moving toward a 1% sales tax hike to close a $20 million deficit, Santa Ana faces the same inflation‑driven cost pressures that could affect local services, infrastructure, and public safety funding.
