Pomona is spending about $15.3 million in FY 24/25 on youth-oriented programs and services.
These programs include:
After School Programs
Sports and Arts programs
Park Rehabilitation
Police Cadet Programs
Rental Assistance for Families with Children
Reading, Literacy, and Enrichment Programs
Partnerships with local community-based organizations
Except for the youth programs sponsored by the police department, none of these programs are directly threaten by the measure. But their support infrastructure is! Without that infrastructure, many city programs for kids and youth could not survive.
Note: the measure puts programs sponsored by the police department in direct jeopardy.
