Contra Costa Adopts $7.248B FY2026-27 Budget as H.R. 1 Pressures Health and Human Services

On May 19, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted the $7.248 billion FY2026-27 County and Special Districts Budget. The County says H.R. 1 will reduce funding and tighten eligibility for Medi-Cal and CalFresh, likely increasing demand for County services while reducing outside support.

Health Services and Employment and Human Services will rely on one-time fund balances to maintain services in the near term, and the County anticipates future budget adjustments as ongoing revenues and expenditures are aligned.
