The community listening session will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at Paving the Way Foundation, located at 44738 Sierra Highway. To register, visit: https://cfcilsantelopevalley.rsvpify.com/
This listening session will be in-depth and interactive allowing the community the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences. There will be a 15-minute break in the middle of this session.
The AV event is one of several virtual and in-person listening sessions the CFCI Advisory Committee is hosting across the county to hear directly from residents on how to allocate the funds.
Funding priorities could include:
- Community health services
- Community counseling
- Youth development programs
- Affordable housing
- Supportive housing, rent assistance
- Jobs creation
- Community-based restorative justice programs
The projects that will be funded will include direct community investments and alternatives to incarceration that are informed by the framework of the Sequential Intercept Model (read more on the Sequential Intercept Model click here].
The CFCI Advisory Committee is charged with providing recommendations to the Los Angeles County Chief Executive Office, who will then recommend to the Board of Supervisors the Year 2 Spending Plan. To learn more, visit: https://ceo.lacounty.gov/ati/cfci-advisory-committee/.
On Nov. 3, 2020, the Los Angeles County voters approved Measure J, which dedicated no less than 10 percent of the county’s locally generated unrestricted funding to address the disproportionate impact of racial injustice through community investments such as youth development, job training, small business development, supportive housing services and alternatives to incarceration.

I would like to see a 60 foot tall buddah statue erected in Lancaster. And maybe another plane to help the Eye in the Sky keep crime low in our fair city.
Sincerely,

How about not spending it at all. Do they have so little regard for taxpayers’ money, that they ask for suggestions on how to piss it away?

Where do you work???
Nate Toll says
Good luck with that! I really want to go to this event but unfortunately I have to work. I work in the AV doing residential “stuff”. I hate to say it but a lot of these people don’t deserve this money. Have you seen the brand new Apartments built on 10th Street in Palmdale. It’s supposed to be a “art district” type complex. They don’t appreciate what they have. I’m a black male, and I suggest you guys stop wasting our money doing this nonsense. Unfortunately I can’t show you the pictures from the inside of the homes but honestly it’s a big waste of money. And it’s embarrassing to work with these type of people. I have a corporate job with one of America’s biggest companies and we helped fund that project, and it’s a total waste of money. In Santa Clarita these type of units rent for at least 1900 a month. The people here are paying 200 bucks. The complex isn’t up to par. Honestly, 90% of the people here really don’t appreciate what they have. It’s embarrassing working here, all of my co-workers call it ghetto- luxury. The complex is nice but it had the wrong ppl living here. Most residents in Palmdale will pay 1700 to live in that complex, but they have it as low income

I agree with Mr. Toll I’m a black man also had to work a 6th day today 7am to 8pm. I rather see a large % of the funds go towards beatification of the city. Like that you see driving into Las Vegas. Something (ALL) can see and enjoy…..
