Dear District 3 Community,
In this edition, we shine a spotlight on the community events we attended, from the first annual Health4All event at the Fruitvale Transit Village to the San Lorenzo Village Homes Association Earth Day Clean-Up. The District 3 team has been active in the community alongside all of you. I look forward to sharing our progress, highlighting the County’s work, and featuring community events, resources, and opportunities in my newsletter.
Your input and engagement remain crucial to our ongoing efforts. Should you have any comments, questions, or concerns related to District 3 or Alameda County, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at bos.district3@acgov.org. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are here to assist and support you.
In closing, we also look forward to May, which marks the beginning of the fairs and festival season. We hope to see you at the upcoming Cinco de Mayo and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month events. If you happen to see me or my hardworking staff, please feel free to come over and say, “Hi!”
Sincerely,
 Lena Tam
Alameda County Supervisor, Third District
All undocumented immigrants are now eligible for full Medi-Cal coverage in California. To celebrate the final age group becoming eligible (ages 26-49), the community health clinics in the Fruitvale area – La Clínica de La Raza, Inc. and the Native American Health Center – hosted the inaugural Health4All event at the Fruitvale Transit Village on April 18, 2024, featuring California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. As a State Senator in 2016, Commissioner Lara authored the first bill to extend Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented children aged 0-18. Over the past nine years, additional age groups have been included.
Supervisor Tam joined La Clínica CEO Jane Garcia and Native American Health Center COO Greg Garett to speak to encourage all undocumented immigrants to enroll. She credited the late Alameda County District 3 Supervisor Wilma Chan with being a fierce advocate for healthcare coverage for all residents, including those without documentation.
Immigrant families who are income eligible are encouraged to sign up all of their family members. Full Medi-Cal covers medical care, medicine, specialty care, mental health care, maternity and family planning, emergency care, tests, dental care, vision, hearing aids, and more. Californians can learn more about the Medi-Cal expansion at the Department of Health Care Services’ web page, which provides information in 19 languages.

My team recently participated in El Tímpano's Resources Fair, a valuable event providing services and support in Spanish and Mam to the Bay Area community. Organized by community-based advocates, this event addresses critical areas such as health, housing, immigration, and more, while also offering complimentary food. What sets El Tímpano apart is its innovative journalism, which tackles local and national issues while addressing community concerns. They employ engaging methods like community microphones in East Oakland and a text-message platform for participatory reporting. El Tímpano's journalism thrives on the trust of thousands of Latino and Mayan immigrants across the Bay Area. For more information, please visit here.

More than two million Californians are affected by potentially disabling mental illnesses every year.
To address this, in 2004 voters passed Proposition 63, now known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). It places a 1 percent tax on personal income above $1 million. MHSA was designed to expand and transform the mental health system, while improving the quality of life for people living with mental health challenges. Consumers and their families were partners in the process, from drafting the MHSA to campaigning for its passage.
MHSA funds effective treatment, prevention and early intervention, outreach support services, and family involvement programs to increase access and reduce inequities for unserved, underserved, and inappropriately served populations.
The Mental Health Services Act Division of Alameda County Behavioral Health Department, Alameda County Health invites the public to review and comment on the following:
