Daniel Shepherd​ Unison Regional Manager; Home co-investment from Unison, you get cash today in exchange for a share in the appreciation or depreciation of your home. Don't think loan. There's no extra debt, no interest and no monthly payments. 

​

​We at Unison believe that the future of Home buying is home co-investments. What we do is provide down payment funds for your buyers, we can provide a range from 5-20% but it’s not a loan so there are no monthly payments and there is no interest. When the buyer sells the home we will share in a percentage of the appreciation or loss.

Presenter: Jeff Klein, Manager of Civic Engagement, Community Relations & Legislation for LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. 

The Voting Solutions for All People project, commonly referred to as VSAP, is the County’s initiative to improve and modernize the voting experience. In March 2020, the County will move away from a precinct-based model to the Vote Center model made possible through the California Voter’s Choice Act. This will create an 11 day period of voting and will allow voters to vote at any Vote Center in the County during that period. In addition, the County will move to a new fully accessible Ballot Marking Device, or BMD, which incorporates a modern touchscreen interface, but still retains a paper ballot for security. Although those features are the most significant, there will be a number of other changes that will improve the voting experience.

New 1099 rules

 Dynamex Ops. West, Inc. v. Superior Ct.<http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/documents/S222732.PDF>, the California Supreme Court held that a worker will be considered an employee of the “hiring entity” for purposes of the Wage Orders unless the “hiring entity” can establish all three of the following factors:

  *   The worker is free from the control and directionof the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact

  *   The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business

  *   The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business

The “hiring entity’s” failure to prove any one of these three prerequisites will be sufficient in itself to establish that the worker is an employee for purposes of the Wage Orders.

The new standard is a significant departure from tests that place heavier significance on control, economic reality, or the balancing of multiple factors (none of which are singularly determinative of employment status).
