Santa Clarita Non-Profits Invited to Apply for 2026-2027 Funding Cycle
The City of Santa Clarita (City) is pleased to announce the release of the 2026-2027 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and has scheduled informational meetings for organizations interested in applying for 2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The City invites non-profit organizations that serve low and moderate-income residents to attend an informational meeting to learn more about the program and to receive a funding application for the 2026-2027 program year.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides the City with CDBG funding, which is primarily intended to benefit low and moderate-income residents. The City awards a portion of this allocation through grants to eligible non-profit organizations to provide services and resources for some of the City’s most vulnerable residents. Individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply.
The City requires interested applicants to attend one of two scheduled Zoom informational meetings to learn more about applying for and receiving funding. Following the meeting, the City will provide interested applicants with a funding application. Meetings are scheduled as follows:
- Monday, November 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, November 12 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
For more information, including the Zoom meeting link, passcode and where to RSVP, please visit SantaClarita.gov/Community-Preservation/Affordable-Housing.
Every five years, the City develops a CDBG strategic planning document called the Consolidated Plan (Con Plan). The Con Plan sets priorities for how CDBG funds will be used. In addition, each year the City conducts a community needs assessment and develops a CDBG Annual Action Plan (AAP). The AAP outlines how the annual allocation of CDBG funds are spent and establishes goals for the number of individuals served.
This NOFA allows community-based organizations the opportunity to apply for funds to serve low and moderate-income residents as part of the AAP during the Program Year of July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027. All proposals must address a Con Plan Priority and meet a variety of other cross-cutting federal regulations, including compliance with reporting and record-keeping requirements. Only residents of the City of Santa Clarita may be served by any CDBG funding awarded.
For more information about the City of Santa Clarita’s CDBG program or the funding application process, please contact Administrative Analyst, Julia Rodriguez by email at ejrodriguez@santaclarita.gov or by phone at (661) 286-4174.

The devastating wildfires this past January damaged or destroyed nearly 20,000 properties across Los Angeles County. In addition to the personal hardships experienced by affected residents, the loss of taxable property was enormous and will have long-lasting effects on the revenues that fund our schools, cities, and essential local services.
Of the more than 23,000 properties flagged for review, approximately 18,000 have already had their assessed values reduced, along with the associated property taxes. That represents approximately $10 billion in assessed value reductions to date. In terms of property tax revenue, this means more than $100 million less for vital local public services that we all rely on.
At first glance, that kind of shortfall seems impossible to overcome. But here’s where the story takes a hopeful turn.
For the past decade, the Assessor’s Office has invested in a complete technological overhaul, digitizing 2.4 million property files and building a new cloud-based assessment system. That platform, known internally as the Assessor’s Modernization Project (or AMP), went live in August 2024 without the usual glitches or delays that often come with government technology projects. In fact, this year was the first time the new system was used to complete the annual “Assessment Roll” – and with great success. (The Assessment Roll is the annual inventory of all taxable property)
And it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Due to the flexibility of the AMP platform, the Assessor’s Office was able to quickly develop and launch a program designed to largely automate the processes needed to deliver tax relief through assessment reductions. That program saved staff more than 45,000 work hours that would have been needed to review and process the disaster relief delivered thus far. With the time saved, staff was able to work through long-standing backlogs and enroll an estimated $13 billion in assessed value that otherwise would have been delayed. Those gains effectively offset the revenue losses caused by the wildfires, bringing us back to almost exactly where we projected revenues would be before the fires, allowing us to maintain a positive Assessment Roll for the 15th consecutive year.
These modernization efforts have also sped up processing times for property tax relief claims for homeowners impacted by the Palisades and Eaton fires.
Typically, processing this level of relief would require 100 appraisers working nearly a full year. But thanks to the modernization of the technology platform, tools were developed that allowed the Office to complete most of this work in just 90 days. That efficiency meant faster property tax refunds to fire victims when they needed them the most.
With new online services, property owners now have the option of filing their Misfortune & Calamity property tax relief claims online. They can also check on the status of their claims using the property search tool.
The timing is nothing short of miraculous. While the wildfires drew new attention to the vulnerability of our communities, AMP technology has proven the value of planning, investment, and innovation. Together, they highlight an important truth: when government modernizes and prepares for the future, it can turn potential crisis into recovery.
Current property tax law provides several programs to help disaster-impacted property owners secure relief before, during, and after the rebuilding process. But given the unprecedented scope of damage from the January wildfires, the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office sponsored new legislation to make these programs more accessible, flexible and effective.
Here is a snapshot of the three sponsored bills that have been signed into law:- Senate Bill 663 (authored by Senators Ben Allen, Jerry McInerney, and Sasha Perez) – Extends the deadline to file a Misfortune & Calamity claim from 12 to 24 months, lengthens the time to rebuild and keep a property’s pre-fire tax base from 5 to 8 years, and allows property tax exemptions to continue for eligible properties.
- Assembly Bill 245 (authored by Assemblymember Mike Gipson) – Also extends the rebuilding window from 5 to 8 years and allows the Assessor’s Office to factor in wildfire-related damage or Decline in Value – such as destruction, depreciation, or removal – when determining 2025 property assessments for properties impacted by the 2025 Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, Sunset, or Woodley fires as of the 2025 lien date.
- Senate Bill 293 (authored by Senator Sasha Perez) – Extends the deadline to resolve ownership documentation issues - as a result of the fire - from 6 months to 3 years after receiving a reassessment notice from the Assessor. This is important as it was discovered that numerous homeowners in the disaster area had inherited property from parents but never recorded a change in ownership by filing an updated deed. SB 293 allows the Assessor to update records without penalties.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and the responsibilities that follow can sometimes feel overwhelming. One important step, if the person owned real estate, is to notify the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. State law requires that a Change in Ownership Statement – Death of Real Property Owner be filed within 150 days of the date of death. This reporting requirement applies even if title to a property was held by a trust.
Why is this important? In California, the death of a property owner is considered a change in ownership, with some exceptions. That means the property may be reassessed as of the date of death, the assessed value could change, and the property taxes could increase. These changes can occur even if a property is held in trust and title has not been changed following the owner’s death.
Filing the Change in Ownership Statement in a timely manner helps avoid potential problems down the road. For example, the property’s mailing address will remain the same until the Assessor’s Office is notified, which can cause delays or missed notices. If the form isn’t filed on time, there may be penalties. In addition, if a reassessment is required, the property will be appraised at its market value as of the date of death, and corrected tax bills could be issued for each year thereafter. In cases where a property owner’s death is not reported and discovered years later, up to eight years of back tax bills can be issued and often become due all at once.
To make this process easier, the Assessor’s Office has created a special packet, “Assessor’s Informational Packet - Death of a Property Owner”, which explains the steps you need to take and includes all the necessary forms. For more information, please visit: assessor.lacounty.gov/homeowners/death-of-an-owner
Again, it is important to note that the filing of a Change in Ownership Statement Death of Real Property Owner form with the Assessor’s Office only serves to notify our office that a change in ownership of the property has occurred – it does not prevent a reassessment of the property based on that change. To request that a transfer be excluded from reassessment, additional reassessment exclusion claim forms may be required. Please stay tuned for our next newsletter where we will explore the Proposition 19 Parent-Child and Grandparent-Grandchild Transfer Reassessment Exclusion.

Recovering from burnout is a challenging process that many leaders and CEOs have to work through at some point in their careers.
If you are currently feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and on the brink of burnout, this post is full of helpful strategies and simple tips for avoiding exhaustion.
Why does recovering from burnout matter?
True burnout is a huge challenge for CEOs, business owners, and solopreneurs. The way burnout affects you depends on your business structure and setup.
When you're a solopreneur who suffers from burnout… your business STOPS.
You're the one bringing in the leads, sending invoices, networking, and doing all the work, so when you can't do it anymore, your business pays the price.
Burnout for solopreneurs can lead to serious dips in revenue, losing clients, missing deadlines, and ultimately shutting down or losing your business.
When you're a leader experiencing burnout… it impacts everyone else.
If you can't read one more email, answer one more question, or solve one more problem, the rest of your team is unable to do their work. Your burnout affects your entire team and can lead to missed deadlines, unhappy clients, employee turnover, loss of trust, and a negative team culture.
The goal for all CEOs, leaders, and business owners is to avoid burnout and take proactive measures to truly rest and recover before it gets too serious.
This post will help you differentiate between actual burnout and feeling really tired so you can choose the right way to rest, recharge, and rebound.
What’s the difference between being tired and burned out?
The word “burnout” gets tossed around a lot, but it’s important to realize that burnout is a serious condition that goes beyond being tired or needing a break.
Burnout is considered to be an “occupational phenomenon” by the World Health Organization. That means it’s not a medical condition like the flu or a headache.
The International Classification of Diseases describes burnout this way:
“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:-
Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
-
Increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
-
Reduced professional efficacy.
Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”
To put it in less official words… burnout is a workplace experience that has a negative impact on your physical and mental health.
Being tired looks like:
-
Needing a break, but being able to jump back in once you rest
-
Being ready to show up once you've had a strong coffee, a good night's sleep, or a workout
-
Feeling stressed but hopeful
-
Not always wanting to work, but feeling creative and productive at times
-
Unplugging for the weekend and coming back ready to go
-
Feeling overwhelmed but still connected to your mission and purpose
Being burned out looks like:
-
Trying to be the best at wearing ALL of the hats, ALL of the time, and feeling like you're constantly failing
-
No motivation, no matter what you try
-
Feeling detached from your purpose
-
Struggling to make simple decisions
-
Lack of productivity that stretches over weeks
-
Feeling like it's all just “too much” and withdrawing
Should you be getting some rest or recovering from burnout?
Understanding the difference between being tired and being burned out is the key to choosing the right recovery strategies.
If you read through those lists and realize you’re just really tired, not burned out, you can choose a more effective kind of rest than what you need if you’re in the middle of burnout.
Being tired can often be resolved or improved by taking a vacation day, prioritizing sleep, spending time with people you enjoy, and getting some exercise.
Burnout, on the other hand, requires a more complex approach.
If you’re feeling detached, unable to show up, and incapable of finding motivation, you need to:
-
Start with physical rest. Sleep, take a break from screens, and push pause without guilt or fear.
-
Find the root cause of your burnout. This phenomenon is typically a result of chronic stress. Look at your current business structure and responsibilities to identify where changes need to be made.
-
Make key changes. Simplify. Set boundaries (and hold them). Create systems that fill your day with small joys and regular rest.
-
Protect yourself from future burnout. Start a reflection or journaling habit so you can see when you’re starting to get overwhelmed or stressed. Create rhythms and systems that support you and don’t stress you out. Shift your mindset so you no longer equate productivity with your self-worth.
Don’t let burnout wreck the business you’ve built and the team that depends on you. Remember that asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you a smart, capable leader who can enjoy long-term success and stability.
Reclaiming your role
One of the main reasons we get overwhelmed and exhausted is because we're taking on work that simply isn't ours.
This happens to CEOs, team leaders, and business owners alike.
When you’re ready to stop spending your valuable time and energy on things you don't need to be doing, we’re here to help.
3 steps to reclaiming your role
-
Delegate.
Anything that doesn't specifically need or have to be done by you (or fall under your role or job title) needs to be handed off. This can be done by assigning it to a team member, automating it, or outsourcing.
If you need help figuring out what to delegate, we have a workshop for that!
-
Recommit to your zone of genius.
If you're a CEO, you should be focusing on the vision for your business, growth strategies, and networking. If you're a solopreneur, you should be putting most of your time and energy into the revenue-generating tasks that only you can do. -
Hire us!
Our team of operational specialists are here to do what we do best so you can grow your business without the overwhelm or burnout. We can help with one-time Get It Done Projects or 1:1 Operations Calls.
What should a CEO focus on?
When you’re leading a team, your job is mostly big picture:
-
Vision
-
Mission
-
Strategy
-
Team Culture
-
Business Operations
-
Finances
-
Networking
-
Managing Resources
-
Decision Making
If you’re a solopreneur, you’re in the unique position of balancing leadership tasks like vision and strategy while also being in the day-to-day weeds of client work, marketing, and scheduling.
It’s easy to see how either role can quickly escalate to full-on burnout.
Focusing on your role requires some reflection and a comprehensive time audit. This will help you see where you are spending your time so you can highlight tasks and responsibilities to hand off to someone else.
Zero in on what you have to do and create a plan for everything else that has to get done. This will protect your energy and help you avoid future burnout. You’ll also see an increase in productivity and creativity when you limit where and how you spend your time.
Realistic rest
Recovering from burnout and staying healthy + productive is all about working smarter, not harder.
The problem is that as CEOs, leaders, or business owners, we often think that to be successful, things have to be hard.
Recovering from burnout (or avoiding burnout in the first place) doesn't have to hurt! In fact, you'll see much better results if you allow yourself to embrace the power of simplicity.

How to relax without taking a vacation
At Elevate, our team is serious about productivity and success. That means we're equally serious about taking real rest, actually recharging, and managing our energy so we can continue to show up and work at a high level.
These are some of our favorite ways to restore our energy:
-
Schedule a lunch block on your calendar. Step away from your computer, silence work notifications, and eat lunch. You can go outside, go for a quick walk, or simply give yourself a break for a minimum of 30 minutes. Enjoy your lunch break!
-
Take a “don't” day. Once a month or so, give yourself permission to say, “No, I don't want to do that!” to anything that you don't want to do. That may mean no calls, no meetings, no client work, no social media… whatever it is that drains you, give yourself a full day away from those things. Schedule it and then honor it to benefit from the energy boost!
-
Get grounded. Take off your shoes and stand in the grass for a few minutes. Give yourself up to 15 minutes of morning sunshine on your face. Connecting with nature this way increases your natural endorphins, establishes stronger circadian rhythms, and helps keep your cortisol levels low. Go outside!
-
Don't be afraid to disconnect. You don't need your phone everywhere you go. Try leaving it behind! Practice stepping away from work emails and communication when you're at your kids' soccer game or enjoying dinner with your family. Giving yourself regular breaks from your work apps and platforms is a game changer!
-
Respect the boundaries you've set. Too often we set the boundaries, block off the calendar, and have all the good intentions… only to do what we said we weren't going to do anyway. Boundaries only work when you hold them. If you're feeling overworked… start with any boundaries you're not respecting.
Spa days and beach vacations are amazing, but you can realistically rest and recharge without leaving the house or office.

California Institute of the Arts has announced the launch of its Bachelor of Fine Arts program in Creative Computing, which will enroll its first students in the fall of 2026.
This interdisciplinary program, among the first in the United States, further exemplifies the institution’s commitment to integrating artistic expression with leading-edge technological innovation.
The Creative Computing BFA is designed to provide students with a robust foundation in computer science, electrical engineering, signal processing and emerging technologies such as virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), robotics and AI/machine learning. The program also allows undergraduates to develop a strong, personal artistic voice and to use technology as a tool for storytelling, cultural critique, and creative exploration.
Students will have the opportunity to specialize in one of five areas: Game Design, Music Technology, Coding for Design, Spatial Computing, or Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.
“The Creative Computing program builds on the strengths and resources of several of CalArts’ current academic programs and initiatives. Students will graduate with the skills and experience necessary to lead in the expanding world of creative technologies, preparing them to define the creative industries of the future,” said Interim Provost Michael Bryant.
Ajay Kapur, associate provost of creative technologies that founded the new program, emphasized the curriculum’s transformative potential. “Coding, engineering, and AI are the canvases of the future. By equipping our students with these technological skills, CalArts is preparing the next generation of creatives and storytellers today to shape the arts and culture of tomorrow.”
The program aligns with several other new, future-focused initiatives at the 55-year-old Institute, which is well known for its focus on experimentation across artistic disciplines.
The CHANEL Center for Artists and Technology, announced last spring in partnership with the CHANEL Culture Fund, is a visionary initiative that positions artists at the forefront of shaping the evolving technologies that define the world and establishes CalArts as the hub of a new ecosystem of arts and technology.
Similarly, CalArts’ D.R.E.A.M.S. (Digital Research Entertainment Arts Media Storytelling) initiative, established in 2025 with support from Tom Dolan and the Dolan Family Foundation, aims to prepare students for dynamic careers in the rapidly growing industry of location-based entertainment.
“We see the Creative Computing curriculum as building a bridge from CalArts to industry,” said D.R.E.A.M.S. Director and Producer in Residence Travis Cloyd. “Students in the program will have access to industry experts and participate in real-world projects where they can build immersive environments and interactive spaces, utilizing their technical and artistic skills to advance the creative industries as a whole.”
CalArts is currently accepting applications for the BFA in Creative Computing program. Interested students can learn more at calarts.edu/creativecomputing.
