Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The State of California awarded the City of Sacramento $5 million in grant funds through Senate Bill (SB) 104, Budget Act of 2023, for various community reinvestment projects in the City of Sacramento. The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) is the lead state agency overseeing the parks and open spaces statewide budget allocation and will administer the $5 million for the Community Reinvestment projects (“Community Grant”).
The SB 104 funding will support eight city-owned capital improvement projects (CIP) and two operating grant projects in the amount of $2,425,000 under the Community Grant as listed in Attachment 3. Each city department will be responsible for project planning, seeking additional authority, and executing the Community Grant activities as the state originally intended per CNRA grant guidelines. There are twenty pass-through projects totaling to be administered by City staff, and programmatically executed by various subrecipients. The list of CNRA subrecipients for the proposed pass-through projects are listed in the Financial Considerations and detailed in Attachment 6.
The CNRA requires the City Council to adopt its CNRA Grant Resolution Form which includes actions to apply and accept the grant funding; make required certifications; and appoint the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee as agent to conduct all negotiations and execute and submit all documents required to complete the projects.
Staff collaborated across City departments, with Council District offices, and the office of California State Assemblymember Kevin McCarty to screen potential projects for eligibility based upon the grant criteria. The proposed programs and projects are subject to review by CNRA. As part of the “grant application”, the detailed scopes of work and budgets listed in Attachment 6 will be submitted to CNRA for final approval. Allocation of the grant funds under the subrecipient agreements is subject to CNRA’s approval of the scopes of work and budgets.
As the grant awardee, the City will administer and provide programmatic and fiscal oversight for its subrecipients.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with Sacramento City Code Section 3.04.020, which requires Council authorization to enter into an agreement greater than or equal to $250,000; and City Council Resolution 2023-0205, which requires Council authorization to obtain governing board of approval for a grant award, establish an operating grant, and distribute subaward grants of $250,000 or more.
State grant funding will enable the City and its community partners and agencies to implement new capital improvement projects, improve existing City facilities, enhance community livability, improve public health and safety, provide jobs for youth, and respond to the needs and interests of residents. This is consistent with the City’s General Plan Goals in the areas of Education, Recreation, and Culture.
File ID: 2024-01542 11/12/2024 Consent Item 1.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act: The grant agreement and subrecipient agreements include the requirement to conduct environmental review for the capital improvement projects under CEQA once the preliminary design is completed and the scope of the construction project is defined in order to evaluate the potential environmental impacts and identify feasible mitigation measures. CNRA will not approve the release of the grant funding until the CEQA process is completed.
Sustainability: The City capital improvement projects have been reviewed for consistency with the goals, policies, and targets of the City’s Sustainability Master Plan (SMP), the City’s Climate Action Plan, and the 2035 General Plan. The projects will advance the goals, policies, and targets of these plans by improving the health of residents and providing recreational opportunities through improvements to City facilities.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The purpose of the grant funds is to support community reinvestment projects that benefit many diverse communities across the City Sacramento. The recommended programs and projects meet the grant criteria as they address a wide continuum of life -enriching programs and strengthening neighborhoods, in alignment with the purpose of the grants.
Sacramento communities’ economic and social conditions reflect a high need for support services, community engagement and development opportunities, as well as expanding capacity of local organizations to deliver projects and critical services.
Financial Considerations: The California Legislature has allocated specified funding for City and community projects through SB 104, Budget Act of 2023. Projects will be managed by multiple city departments and community-based organizations. To monitor and track the full funding, all pass-through and capital improvement projects will be initially recorded in the project (G02000430) in the Operating Grant Fund (Fund 2702).
No city match or additional funds will be required as a condition to accept the grant award.
However, up to ten percent (10%) of the $5M reimbursement amount will be held back and issued as a final payment upon completion of the CNRA grant project.

5. Final payment is contingent upon State verification that the Project is consistent with the Project scope as described in Exhibit A, together with any State-approved amendments.
6. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between the Grantee and the State. Any request by the Grantee for amendments must be in writing stating the amendment request and reason for the request. The Grantee shall make requests in a timely manner, preferably no less than sixty (60) days before the effective date of the proposed amendment.
7. Grantee must report to the State all sources of other funds for the project.
E. Project Termination
1. Prior to the completion of project construction, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing the other party with thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by the Grantee which affects performance of this, or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.
2. If the State terminates without cause the Agreement prior to the end of the Project Performance Period, the Grantee shall take all reasonable measures to prevent further costs to the State under this Agreement. The State shall be responsible for any reasonable and non-cancelable obligations incurred by the Grantee in the performance of the Agreement prior to the date of the notice to terminate, but only up to the undisbursed balance of funding authorized in this Agreement.
3. If the Grantee fails to complete the project in accordance with this Agreement or fails to fulfill any other obligations of this Agreement prior to the termination date, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest and any further costs related to the project. The State may, at its sole discretion, consider extenuating circumstances and not require repayment for work partially completed provided that the St ate determines it is in the State’s best 39 interest to do so. This paragraph shall not be deemed to limit any other remedies available to the State for breach of this Agreement.
4. Failure by the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement under the Act may be cause for suspension of all obligations of the State hereunder.
5. Failure of the Grantee to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall not be cause for suspending all obligations of the State hereunder if, in the judgment of the State, such failure was due to no fault of the Grantee. At the discretion of the State, any amount required to settle at minimum cost any irrevocable obligations properly incurred shall be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement.
6. Because the benefit to be derived by the State, from the full compliance by the Grantee with the terms of this Agreement, is the for the purposes as stated in the Application for the people of the State of California, and because such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State by way of grant funds under the provisions of this Agreement, the Grantee agrees that payment by the Grantee to the State of an amount equal to the amount of the grant funds disbursed under this Agreement by the State would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach by the Grantee of this Agreement. The Grantee further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the Grantee of this Agreement shall be the specific performance of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the State.
F. Hold Harmless
1. Grantee shall waive all claims and recourses against the State, including the right to contribution for loss or damage to persons or property arising from, growing out of, or in any way connected with or incident to this Agreement, except claims arising from the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents, and employees.

Grantee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend State, its officers, agents and employees in perpetuity against any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses or liability costs arising out of the project, including development, construction, o peration or maintenance of the property described in the project description which claims, demands or causes of action arise under Government Code Section 895.2 or otherwise, including but not limited to items to which the Grantee has certified, except for liability arising out of the gross negligence of State, its officers, agents or employees. Grantee acknowledges that it is solely responsible for compliance with items to which it has certified.
3. Grantee and State agree that in the event of judgment entered against the State and the Grantee because of the gross negligence of the State and the Grantee, their officers, agents, or employees, an apportionment of liability to pay such judgment shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall request a jury apportionment.
G. Financial Records
1. Grantee shall maintain satisfactory financial accounts, documents, and records for the Project and to make them available to the State for auditing at reasonable times. Grantee shall also retain such financial accounts, documents, and records for three (3) years after final payment and one (1) year following an audit.
2. Grantee agrees that during regular office hours, the State and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to inspect and make copies of any books, records or reports of the Grantee pertaining to this Agreement or matters related thereto.

Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld as long as the purposes for which the grant was awarded are maintained.

3. Grantee agrees to use the Project Property (or shall ensure via written agreement with the landowner that the property will be used) solely for the purposes for which the Grant was made and no other use or sale or other disposition of the property shall be made during the Land Tenure Term. This Agreement shall not prevent the transfer of the property from the Grantee to a Public Agency, if the successor Public Agency assumes the obligations imposed by this Agreement.
4. Reimbursement of Grant with interest: At the State’s sole discretion, if the Grantee owns the Project Property and the use of the property is changed to a use that is not permitted by the Agreement or if the property is sold or otherwise disposed of by Grantee, the State may seek an amount equal to: (1) the amount of the Grant plus accrued interest at the prime interest rate at the time of disposition, and (2) the amount of any increase in property value attributed to grant-funded improvements to the Project Property. If the Grantee does not own the Project Property, and the use of the Project Property is changed to a use that is not permitted by this Agreement or is sold or otherwise disposed of within the Land Tenure Term, at the State’s sole discretion, the Grantee shall be liable for immediate repayment to the State of all amounts disbursed by the State under this Agreement, plus accrued interest at the prime interest rate at the time of disposition.
5. Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the Project Property as security for any debt during the Land Tenure Term. If the grantee does not own the Project Property, written approval of the State must be obtained for use of the Project Pro perty (including any portion of it or any interest in it) to be used as security for any debt, provided such approval by the State shall not be unreasonable withheld as long as the purposes for which the Grant was awarded are maintained and does not make the State a guarantor or a 41 surety for any debt, nor waive the State’s rights to enforce performance under this Agreement.
6. Grantee shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the Project Property for mitigation without the written approval of the State. If the grantee does not own the Project Property, the grantee shall ensure via written agreement with the landowner that the landowner shall not use or allow the use of any portion of the Project Property for mitigation without the written approval of the State.

The State may also terminate this Grant Agreement for any reason at any time if it learns of or otherwise discovers that there is a violation of any state or federal law or policy by the Grantee which affects performance of this, or any other grant agreement or contract entered into with the State.
2.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Alchemist Community Development Corporation (CDC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Sacramento with a mission of connecting communities to land, food, and opportunity.
The “Oak Park Art Garden,” as it has long been referred to, is located at 3834 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Sacramento, CA, 95820. Activation of this space by Alchemist CDC started in 2017, utilizing a zero-cost land lease agreement (with an option to purchase) between Alchemist CDC and the former, private owner.
Since 2017, the Art Garden has been cultivated and designed through intensive community input and volunteer work, as well as contributions from local organizations such as The Sacramento Kings Foundation, Green Acres Nursery, the California Native Plant Society, and Sacramento Natural Foods Co-Op. In its present condition, the Oak Park Art Garden includes Sacramento’s first public fruit orchard, a native plant garden, and community-created public art.
While the Art Garden has served as a wonderful resource for community engagement through volunteer landscaping and art projects, it is not conducive to other kinds of community engagement or gathering, lacking some of the critical infrastructure needed to support that kind of activity.
In 2021, the Alchemist CDC team put a plan into action to reinvigorate the Oak Park Art Garden by transforming it into a reimagined shared community space. In reviewing the Oak Park Design Standards and Guidelines published by the City of Sacramento, there is no description which matches the specific use and design goals Alchemist envisioned for this space. We have drawn inspiration and information from other City of Sacramento Design Standards and Guidelines and are developing this space under the specifications of a “Small Public Space” (ref. Central Core Private Realm Design Guidelines, p. 13. River District Guidelines Public Realm, p. 3-87.) As described in the Sacramento River District Guidelines Public Realm:
“Small Public Places can provide needed open space for surrounding residences, offices, and commercial buildings, especially when larger land parcels are not available. Small Public Places will help fill any park deficiency gaps and help to create public gathering places that will foster a sense of community. The scale and features of these small public places should be consistent with their context.
The inclusion of small parks and plazas is also intended to provide needed relief from the hardscape and intensity of the denser land use patterns within the River District. [The same challenges are present in Oak Park with dense land use patterns and extensive hardscape.]
Small Public Places will serve as visible and positive places to gather and recreate for persons living, working or visiting nearby. The intent is that Small Public Places will help create a sense of community and provide both passive and recreational facilities and experiences. They should be easily accessed by the surrounding neighborhood, so as to become a community meeting place and neighborhood focus at a very local level. Their central location facilitates the 2 good casual surveillance typical of local, community-vested amenities.
Their smaller size generally limits their use to casual and passive recreation (i.e. no ball-games), dog walking, etc. Their layout may include seating areas and sometimes children’s play areas, often combining hardscaped and landscaped spaces with features like water fountains or raised stage areas. Although there is no minimum size, an example would be a small public space that fits on a single 40’ x 80’ lot. [The proposed Oak Park Art Garden property is approximately 1/3 acre.]
Small Public Places can contribute to local stormwater management strategies, serving as a storage area for run-off, with swales that may connect to larger systems, and through the provision of permeable areas.
Small Public Places may be public, private, or any form of partnership. They are often created on abandoned inner neighborhood parcels. Many times, neighborhood groups provide the labor for implementation and maintenance.”
In the Spring of 2022, Alchemist CDC was awarded $694,295 in Prop 68 funding, also known as the 2018 Parks Bond Act Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Grant to invest in the development of Oak Park Art Garden as a Small Public Place. Prop 68 funds projects which aim to protect, restore, and enhance California’s cultural, community, and natural resources.
The primary objectives of this grant funding are as follows:
1) Acquire the approximately .39 acres parcel: #02000330640000, located at 3834 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Sacramento, CA, 95820. Purchase of the property was completed in June 2023, using funds from the aforementioned State Parks grant.
2) Construction of ADA accessible bathroom with drinking fountain and lighting. - This requires connecting the lot to local utilities (water, sewage, and possibly electricity) and/or the installation of solar and on-site battery storage.
3) Construction/installation of new landscaping, ADA accessible walkways, and lighting throughout the parcel. - Installation of permanent furnishings such as solar light poles, benches, etc. - Upgrading mulch and woodchip paths to permanent ADA-compliant pathways. - Installation of pollinator garden, edible plants, and native plants and grasses maintained with a smart irrigation system.
- Implementation of onsite stormwater management resources. 4) Construction of Community Gathering Spaces, including shade, storage, and multiple large murals/community art installations.
- Installation of two 20’ shipping containers to be used to house community resource organizations’ operations. One shipping container will house the Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocate (SABA) Oak Park E-Bike Library and bike repair station. The other shipping container will house the Oak Park Tool Library, a lending resource for household tools and repair appliances. - Shipping containers will be painted by local mural artists. - ADA accessible patio area with shade structure.
- Available community Wi-Fi.
5) Construction of decorative perimeter fence and creation of an iconic “Art Gate” entry serving as a fixture welcoming people into the Oak Park neighborhood.
- Flexible post system intended to support overhead and gateway art features, such as on a seasonal or revolving basis.
Unfortunately, the State of California experienced significant challenges in rollout and implementation of funding for the Prop 68 projects, delaying our project start date by two (2) years. The resulting impact was an increase in the anticipated project budget from the amounts proposed in our original grant submission almost three (3) years ago, due to inflationary trends both in construction materials and labor over that same amount of time.
The Community Redevelopment Block Grant award of $300,000.00 facilitated by Asm. Kevin McCarty was awarded to Alchemist CDC for this project with the intent to close any gap in construction and/or program implementation funding not addressed by the original State Parks grant award. Funds will be used for both construction costs and for purchasing supplies and materials to launch the Tool Library and Bike Library/Repair Station. Remaining funds will be 3 directed towards costs for murals and other programmatic-focused operations.
Cost Estimate: *Based on costs determined a/o original project budget analysis completed in 2022. Original Parks grant awarded in the exact amount of this budget. It is as yet unknown exactly how and where increases in costs will be encountered. GF Grant is intended to be used to address those overages as they happen. We have indicated the various areas where we expect funds will be needed in proposed amounts. This allocation may need to be adjusted.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Serving Art, Not Food - The Zero Waste Mobile Art Café is an innovative, sustainable mobile popup activation, offering art experiences rather than food service at its tables with ecological games. It aims to bring creative expression and climate-ready, programming to underserved communities. Through art and interactive games, the café fosters creative healing, community connection, and inspiration for environmental action. Its mission is to accelerate creativity, creative thinking, environmental education, and community vitality for all.
Crafted from an upcycled horse trailer, the leave-no-trace solar-powered Zero Waste Mobile Art Café provides a charming bistro café experience with 10 vibrant tables and 20 chairs. It serves as a platform for both artistic expression and sustainability education. Attendees can engage in various activities, including painting, upcycling textiles into patches, and creating reusable tote bags, while also participating in the Recycle Challenge Game, available in both English and Spanish.
The Recycle Challenge Game is a dynamic trivia game designed to spark dialogue and challenge misconceptions about waste reduction, recycling, and sustainability. It encourages group interaction and discussion, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental issues. Following the game, attendees can express their creativity by painting either a reusable canvas tote bag or a framed canvas.
This grant award enables the Atrium to provide this mobile activation service throughout the year to underserved communities in the Sacramento region with no cost. Providing community organizations with family friendly creative engagement and environmental awareness. This funding will enable us to serve 2500 people utilizing small and large events. We will be working with the River District, Old Sacramento Waterfront, Oak Park Farmers Market, Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum, and SMUD Sustainable Communities.
Atrium 916, the organization behind the Zero Waste Mobile Art Café, is a Creative Innovation Center for Sustainability dedicated to building a kind, creative, and sustainable future for all. Through collaborative community engagement, impactful installations, and innovative solutions, Atrium 916 strives to create a more inclusive and circular economy that benefits both people and the planet.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Youth Arts Action will support:
1. B Street’s Student Matinee Series serving children and their families. Grant would be used to offset costs of transportation for 6000 students, provide a part-time security presence during student matinee field trip hours, and provide tickets for 3000 additional students.
2. Studio for Young Actors offers classes for students of all ages throughout the year. Grant would provide 50 scholarships to students of low income families, allow us to expand our full-time staff of teaching artists, and underwrite the cost of materials, including reusable set pieces for student performances.
Youth Arts Action supports projects for youth from infancy through age 24 that occur outside of traditional school hours, taking place in arts venues, community centers, school sites, and other youth-oriented settings. The B Street Theatre projects referred to below will take place at the Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts in Sacramento.
The mission of B Street Theatre is to promote education and literacy, social interaction, and cultural enrichment by engaging children and adults in the highest quality theatre arts and playwriting.
Student Matinee Series: In addition to its popular Main Stage series of plays for adults, B Street produces the Student Matinee Series serving children and their families. The Student Matinee Series is California’s only full-time, professional resident theatre for children. Eight of the Family Series’ 12 weekly performances are designated for school field trips; the remaining four weekly performances are for the public.
$75,000 would provide:
1. Transportation serving 2000 students per year.
2. A part-time Security presence during Field Trip hours (5hrs/day 70 days/yr).
3. Tickets for Student Underwriting for 1000 additional students per year.
Studio for Young Actors (SFYA): B Street Theatre offers classes for students of all ages throughout the year. During the school year SFYA classes meet for 8 weekly Saturday sessions in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. During the Summer months our SFYA Theatre Camps consist of up to two weeks of daily classes in which young performers learn the fundamental skills needed to develop their physical, vocal, and emotional range. Age-appropriate classes are offered in multiple disciplines - Acting, Dance & Musical Theatre, Stage Combat, Improvisation, Arts & Crafts, and Video Production - facilitated by a team of professional teaching artists. Each program concludes with a final showcase performance for friends and family, allowing the young performers to show off what they’ve learned.
$50,000 would be used to:
7 1. Offer full or partial scholarships to students of low income families, expanding our community outreach efforts. 30 scholarships during the school year (5 in 2025, 10 in 2026, and 15 in 2027); 20 scholarships for Summer Theatre Camps (5 in 2025; 7 in 2026; 8 in 2027).
2. Expand our staff by 1 teaching artist during classes in each year of the project.
3. Underwrite the cost of materials (art supplies, costumes, office supplies, and adjustable set pieces for rehearsals and performance).
We believe that as a result of this grant, B Street Theatre will continue to grow and maintain our educational outreach efforts. It is our experience that student, teachers and families who engage with our classes, participate in our field trip program, and attend live performances will continue to do so in the future.

Project Address: Cameron Ranch Elementary 4333 Hackberry Lane, Carmichael, CA 95608
Brief Project/Program Description:
Cameron Ranch Elementary is a Title I School in the San Juan Unified School District in Sacramento County.
The student population is very diverse: 78% are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged, 25% are English Language Learners, and 17% have an identified disability. Many of our students live in apartments and their experiences in the broad world is very limited.
With these grant funds, Cameron Ranch Elementary plans to construct an outdoor classroom in the school’s existing garden. The garden, established in 1998, is an integral part of the school’s curriculum. All the students at the school, Transitional Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, participate in weekly garden lessons.
The garden program is multi-disciplinary and serves as a springboard for student work in all content areas.
Students practice core academic skills in the garden, applying critical thinking, reading, writing, art, math, and science skills. Our lessons are based on grade level curriculum and California State Science and Garden Standards. The lessons are designed to be modified and open ended to support students with special needs and to allow students to express their diverse ideas and cultures.
The school garden serves as a comfortable place where children from all backgrounds and abilities can work cooperatively to accomplish real life tasks, build independence, growth mindset and a sense of empathy for our world and our community. We believe that our students benefit from spending more time outdoors.
Building an outdoor classroom in our school garden will create a healthy learning space for teachers to hold class when teaching all academic content areas. Additionally, it will offer a place for family and community volunteers to gather and actively participate with the school community. The outdoor classroom will include a covered seating area for 30 students. Grant funds will also be used to purchase materials to be used during outdoor classroom time, including supplies for 30 classroom lessons per year for each grade (transitional kindergarten through fifth grade), garden tools, a mobile white board for the instructor, painting easels, paint and birdhouse kits. The two iPads will assist students in doing research and documenting their experiences in the garden. A solar panel is necessary to support a fan in the greenhouse and lighting to hold early evening family events. We plan to engage a local artist to work with the students in creating a dedication tile sculpture. Additionally, grant funds will be used to make the garden space suitable for an outdoor classroom, which will include improvements to the actual ground space. As a result, decomposed granite, bark, compost, edging, topsoil, native and vegetable plants and rock will be purchased.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Community Against Sexual Harm (CASH) seeks support in the amount of $50,000 to accomplish three key goals in the coming year.
First, CASH will plan and launch a comprehensive professional development plan for the staff of this organization who, as survivors themselves, must build their own capacity to then meet the complex needs of clients with technical, social and emotional skills. Plan and launch a 12-month comprehensive professional development plan so staff, who are predominately survivors themselves, can adequately meet the complex needs of clients with technical, social, emotional skills aligned with individual workplans and positions. This development plan would provide subject matter trainings, supplies & materials, peer mentoring support to maximize the potential of staff.
Second, CASH will complete an analysis of current workforce development connections for clients. Within this analysis of the current workforce, we will be determining workforce and educational opportunities for CASH clients given their complex and unique needs in a trauma informed manner. This funding would pay for a workforce development consultant, skills training, materials, and wellness supports.
Finally, CASH will organize and launch an expanded job placement and internship pipeline for clients, resulting in 5 new employment pathways. This funding would pay for a workforce development focused events, consultant, skills training, materials, and wellness supports.

Folsom Boulevard Beautification Project Description
As part of their 2024 fall curriculum, California State University, Sacramento Design Department Students, led by Professor John Forrest, will engage the community regarding concepts to create digital artwork using the creative and structured class to simulate working with design customers. We will work closely with the students, the community and PG&E staff to coordinate the project. The artistic designs will be printed on vinyl and installed on approximately twelve 15-foot panels long the perimeter wall of PG&E’s Brighton Substation located at 8180 Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento. The designs will also go through the City of Sacramento’s Art in Public Places approval process.
As background, Power Inn Alliance has partnered with the Folsom Boulevard Coalition that includes City of Sacramento representatives, Sacramento State University, business and property owners and residents of the College Glen neighborhood to revitalize the historic Folsom Boulevard corridor to promote placemaking by improving aesthetics, safety, and economic development between Howe and Watt Avenues. The project will highlight the rich history and diversity of the surrounding community and expand on recently installed artwork including a mural completed at Folsom Boulevard and Florin Perkins Road in May 2022, and vinyl art wraps on eleven City and SMUD electrical boxes in 2023. The project will help soften the industrial feel injecting beauty and art into the daily lives of thousands of daily users of the corridor.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Weekly farmers market featuring healthy produce and small, local business vendors in the Oak Park neighborhood.
Runs every Saturday from 9am to 1pm in the months of April to October. Market programs include EBT match up to $20, kids activities, and more.
Background and Need:
When the Oak Park Farmers Market began in 2010, the Oak Park area, which encompasses Zip Codes 95817 and 95820 (approximately 54,000 residents), was considered a “food desert” due to the lack of grocery stores in this area. Today, a broader set of indices, such as education, income, transportation, home ownership vs. rental, access to affordable healthcare, etc., suggests that these two zip codes continue to be considered areas where residents are food insecure.
According to “Be Healthy Sacramento,” residents living in these two zip codes continue to be at risk of food insecurity.
In 2023, the nonprofit Food Literacy Center brought the Oak Park Farmers Market on as an official program. We hired the original market staff and quickly brought back this much-needed community program. The first year was all about learning and merging. In 2024, Food Literacy Center has set aside significant resources to return the market to its former strength, including a pro-bono PR firm helping with ongoing customer retention strategies, and expanded volunteer coordination. We have expanded the children’s market programs based on the strength of kids’ programming at Food Literacy Center. Our goal is to invest in the resources necessary to build a thriving market program.
Scope of Work
The goal: Operate a weekly certified farmers market in Oak Park’s McClatchy Park from 9am to 1pm every Saturday from April through October.
Work includes:
● O
utreach, training, and supervision of farmers and vendors ● V

● S
taff to run and operate the weekly market
● P

Brief Project/Program Description:
This project will dedicate resources to building a 200 plus seat Event Center in IYT’s, College Success Center, an innovative holistic education space that bridges essential educational and career needs gaps for young men of color and the surrounding Sacramento community. After a complete renovation, the College Success Center will serve as a youth center, wellness space, community pop-up location, and inclusive space for students, families, and community residents to connect, learn, build relationships, and work toward their college-bound and career dreams. The Event Center specifically will be 1,900 SQFT, approximately 1 ⁄ 4 of the total space of the College Success Center (7,500 SQFT), and will be used for a variety of events, workshops, presentations, and educational enrichment opportunities.
The Event Center will bridge community gaps with programming and events, providing a dedicated room to host a series of workshops, presentations, and educational enrichment opportunities for students, families, and the wider public. In the Event Center, we will host community forums, education-specific discussions (e.g., College Scholarship Opportunities or Satisfying College A-G Requirements), financial literacy, career development demonstrations (e.g., healthcare career workshops, criminal justice careers, careers in teaching and education), motivational speakers (e.g., spoken word, poetry), health education workshops (e.g., nutrition, fitness, exercise, mental health), and music performances (e.g., improv singing, instrumental workshops). The Event Center will also be offered to other community-based organizations to host and reserve so they can host distinct topics that can be of benefit to the community, including for example partner banks to provide financial workshops or educational institutions to provide presentations on scholarships and admissions.
This space will serve as a beacon of resources, mentorship programming, academic support, and social services support. Once fully operational, the Center will offer creative design workshops, career talks, engineering demonstrations, homework assistance, fitness, wellness, nutrition classes, healthy cooking demonstrations, social support services, and mental health screenings. These services will be uniquely housed under one roof and are designed to prepare young people and the local community for college and beyond. IYT’s College Success Center will serve as one of the only safe and constructive spaces in the region that is tailored to the flourishing of young men of color.
This space will additionally provide weekend programming, which creates a safe and secure space to continue learning and growing. As important, a top priority of the space is to keep Sacramento youth in the community off the streets where they may face danger or fall into mischievous behavior. This will also help families and parents who often work or are away on weekends and have nowhere to take their kids. We want to fill this gap by building a Center that facilitates and sustains robust programs, nurtures academic growth, stimulates community building, and is open daily for consistent learning & socio-emotional support.
Construction and renovations for the Event Center will take approximately 4 to 5 months, from March 2025 to July 2025.

Brief Project/Program Description:
In Sacramento, 26,800 young people ages 16-24 years old are neither in school nor working. Many have grown up in poverty, low-to-moderate-income households, have a history with foster care or juvenile justice and have experienced significant trauma. Thousands more are at risk with no plan, guidance, or future prospects. They are at an increased risk of violent behavior, drug use, depression, poor physical health, long-term unemployment, and poverty.
To meet the immediate needs of this youth population, Juma will employ 60 low-income young people ages 16-24 for the duration of the funding period in social enterprises located at major sports and entertainment venues including the Golden 1 Center, Sutter Health Park, Heart Health Park and the Toyota Amphitheatre. Support from Assemblymember McCarty will enable Juma to recruit 60 new youth into the YouthConnect program, supporting their work experience (youth wages, on average $1,100 per youth, and social enterprise fees) in addition to career & education exploration programming (workshop expenses and program stipends, on average just under $400 per youth).
Juma’s YouthConnect suite of services will be delivered in the context of its innovative Earn, Learn and Connect program model.
EARN: Young people will work in Juma’s social enterprise for the length of a sports season and develop core employment skills like communication and teamwork. Overseen by an Enterprise Manager trained in youth development, growth-mindset principles, and trauma-informed care, youth practice these skills in the real-life learning lab provided by the enterprise. Youth who complete the program have the opportunity to continue working for Juma in leadership roles within the enterprise.
LEARN: Alongside the job, youth will be supported by program coordinators to overcome personal barriers to successful permanent employment and help youth set, plan and pursue strengths-based, short and long-term personal, financial, and career goals. Youth also participate in job attainment skills workshops such as resume writing and mock interviews. Leveraging the teachable moment of a first paycheck, youth are supported to open bank accounts and participate in financial education workshops.
CONNECT: By offering employment and the opportunity to develop a positive work history, foundational employment skills, and the social capital critical to career success, Juma ensures that youth develop the resources necessary to establish and pursue their goals. Steady income and barrier removal services promote stability, allowing the young adults to focus on building a future rather than simply surviving the present. Resume and interview workshops increase critical job seeking skills while career exploration activities promote insight into personal interests and goals. This insight becomes the foundation of each participant’s personalized “Launch Plan” identifying long-term career goals, corresponding education/experience requirements, and their post-Juma plans.
By the end of this YouthConnect project, we anticipate meeting the following objectives:
60 Youth develop on-the-job soft and hard skills competencies. • 16+ hours of paid job training for youth employed in the enterprise • 50% of youth employed in the enterprise will hit 75 hours of work experience • 80% of youth employed in the enterprise gain core competencies in customer service, reporting, teamwork and self-management
23 Youth will develop 21st Century Banking Skills
• 80% of Youth employed in the enterprise will set up direct deposit • 65% of new youth served will complete 8 required workshops Youth will gain the skills necessary to connect to work and/or education • 70% of new youth served will complete at least one mock interview • 70% of new youth served will finalize a resume meeting Juma's established criteria • 50% of youth employed in enterprise will connect to employment and/or education

Brief Project/Program Description: Empowering Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ Community through Enhanced Support and Resources
Our project aims to significantly enhance the support, resources, and inclusivity of the Lavender Library, Archives, and Cultural Exchange (LLACE) in Sacramento, California. LLACE serves as a vital hub for LGBTQ+ individuals, offering a safe space for exploration, education, and community connection. With the generous support of this grant, we will embark on a mix of initiatives to enrich our services and infrastructure, ensuring that every member of our diverse community feels valued and empowered.
Key Initiatives:
1. Expanding Support Groups and Programming: We will expand our existing programs and support groups by providing essential supplies such as art materials, book club sets of books, and invite certified facilitators for our programming. LLACE aims to expand programming to better support different age groups and community needs.
Additionally, funding will support members' participation in formal training and opportunities to submit their works to reputable journals or contests, amplifying queer voices and fostering personal growth.
2. Hosting LGBTQ+ Speakers: Through honorariums, we will bring LGBTQ+ authors and historians to Sacramento for inspiring talks and discussions, enriching our community with diverse perspectives and empowering narratives.
3. Enhancing Privacy and Security: Installation of window coverings will create a more private and secure environment for our support groups, particularly benefiting individuals questioning their gender identity or identifying as non-binary/trans amidst rising concerns about harassment.
4. Technology Upgrades: We will invest in technology upgrades to address the digital divide within our community, providing free access to computers, printers, and portable audiovisual equipment. These improvements will ensure inclusivity and optimize our functions for both in-person and hybrid settings.
5. Software Investments: Implementation of a robust volunteer management platform will enhance engagement with our 100% volunteer team. Additional software upgrades, including expanded drive storage, library software access, and paid Zoom accounts, will facilitate seamless virtual meetings and collaboration.
6. Collection Expansion and Archival Access: Funding will diversify our collection to represent intersectional LGBTQ+ experiences and expand resources for newly "out" individuals, parents, and allies. We will also improve archival access by purchasing display cases, binding, digitalization, and relocating collections to a climate-controlled storage site, preserving the rich LGBTQ+ history of the Greater Sacramento area, while making the materials more accessible for research purposes and special projects. The Lavender Library will seek professional archivist and other support to ensure the current collection is properly maintained.
7. Branding and Printing: A much-needed redesign of LLACE's branding and materials will be undertaken, updating library cards, resource flyers, and other essential items to reflect our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
8. Infrastructure Improvement: Purchase of portable furniture and storage solutions will accommodate our growing collections and enhance the functionality of the library space, promoting comfort and accessibility for all patrons.
26 9. Membership Accessibility: We aim to eliminate membership fees, making LLACE membership-free for all community members. This initiative will ensure equitable access to our materials and services, regardless of financial status.
10. Volunteer Stipends: To ensure expansion of our opening hours and equitable volunteer opportunities for a diverse set of queer Sacramentans, small stipends will be provided to volunteers contributing their time and expertise to LLACE initiatives. This initiative aims to recognize the valuable contributions of volunteers from all backgrounds.
11. Bookkeeper Services: Hiring a professional bookkeeper will ensure transparent financial management, efficient budget allocation, and compliance with grant requirements. This role will play a crucial part in maintaining the sustainability and accountability of LLACE's operations.
By investing in these initiatives, we will strengthen LLACE as a beacon of support, education, and empowerment for the LGBTQ+ community in Sacramento. Together, we will create a more inclusive and resilient space where individuals can thrive, celebrate their identities, and contribute to a more vibrant community fabric.
Note: The Lavender Library, Arts, and Cultural Exchange is 100% volunteer-run and employs no staff.

Brief Project/Program Description:
The relaunch of Second Saturday in 2023 evoked the nostalgia of exploring Midtown’s Second Saturday in the pre- pandemic era, including strolling into galleries, enjoying dining al fresco, encountering local artists and performers, and finding vibrant street art around each corner and drew over 70,000 visitors into Midtown with a focus on highlighting Midtown’s multifamily properties, hotels, and Midtown as an unmatched destination in the region for dynamic cultural activities and nightlife.
Second Saturday 2024 will continue programming from 2023 and evolve to increase the investment to drive visitors into businesses, apartments, galleries, restaurants, and hotels. This investment's economic return and positive impact to Midtown will be achieved through a monthly signature event or promotion with each Second Saturday, May through October, a monthly Second Saturday Art Walk, and expanded efforts to equip businesses and galleries with the tools to use a now-established Second Saturday platform to draw in their own programming and increase the diversity of activities on Second Saturday.
Grant funds will be used to expand and extend the reach of Second Saturday and artist engagement through 2024 and 2025. The arts are vital to the wellbeing of our communities; however, artists have weathered tremendous uncertainty throughout the pandemic. To that end, Midtown Association aims to create Midtown’s Second Saturday Artist Grant Program. These grants will be geared toward visual and performing artists, aged 16-26, with a priority on artists who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). The grant program intends to assist with costs related to displaying or performing their art during Second Saturday events in Midtown.

Brief Project/Program Description:
The Youth Workforce was born out of a passion to equip youth and young adults for the workforce and help resource local businesses with well-trained students. The Natomas Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of Alyssa Lozano, Natomas Chamber President, launched the program in 2022. Since then, we have hosted several youth workforce weeklong training sessions out of Inderkum High School. We’ve trained over 90 students and resourced over 30 local businesses with new hires.
The Youth Workforce is the heartbeat behind our Chamber core value and missions and therefore is the focus of our signature events such as Holiday Tree Light, State of Natomas and monthly Mixers. At each event we promote and share about the Youth Workforce and the work we do in the community with local students.
With this grant we’d be able to expand the program. We’d love to stipend the students for the training to match similar programs in our city, pay our speakers/consultants, offer this program to multiple school districts and so much more. We will expand the reach of our monthly events and will help enforce and gain support for the Youth Workforce.
SMART Deliveries:
S The Youth Workforce together with Natomas Chamber monthly and signature events will accomplish equipping and training students for the workforce and in return help the local businesses by providing them with well trained and equipped students to work in our community.
M Together with our partnership with the Natomas Unified School District we will measure the success of the student’s participation with school counselors and surveying students/parents. We also actively follow up with businesses via email/phone/survey to fine tune the program and job fair potion that directly benefits our local business community.
A The Youth Workforce is achievable as we have 3 years under our belt without any funding. We have a strong Board of Directors and support staff.
R The Youth Workforce is relevant and needed for both our students and our local businesses.
T Youth Workforce has taken place has a strong track record and we are on target to continue this program in 2025 and beyond with appropriate funding.

Brief Project/Program Description:
One Community Health (OCH) plans to utilize these funds to develop a Street Medicine program that will focus on reaching and serving Sacramento’s large and growing, unhoused population. This project will bring primary health care services, including medical, dental, mental health and substance use disorder services, directly to unsheltered homelessness people starting in January 2025. The first six months (July 2024 – December 2024) of this project will be dedicated to developing the Street Medicine program and its work flows, hiring qualified and compassionate staff, training staff on best practices for street medicine and OCH operations and procedures, and establishing the schedule of locations that will be visited. The purpose of this project is to bring primary health care directly to people experiencing unsheltered homelessness on the streets, in encampments, parks, etc. By the end of 2025, OCH’s Street Medicine Care Team will have provided unsheltered homeless people at least 1,150 medical visits, 320 dental visits, and 400 mental health visits. By the end of 2026 OCH anticipates the Street Medicine program will provide at least 2,300 medical visits, 800 dental visits, and 600 mental health visits. All visits will be provided in the field, outside of OCH’s established clinics. OCH will track patient demographic and housing information and the intended outcomes with its Electronic Health Record/ Practice Management System, Epic.

Brief Project/Program Description:
SABA proposes the establishment of two E-Bike lending libraries, focused on providing sustainable transportation alternatives and fostering a healthy lifestyle, while supporting climate friendly actions. This initiative aims to offer e-bikes for lending, comprehensive educational programs, and immersive experiences to the community, contributing to reduced carbon emissions, enhanced physical well-being, and increased awareness of green mobility solutions. Research shows that US cyclists say they’d move to a city that offered to support e-bikes and Sacramento is a prime location given our flat terrain and excellent year-round weather. The City of Sacramento has a small e-bike lending library at Colonial Heights for e-trikes. This project will add more e-bikes to residents in Oak Park. The second lending library will be located in South Natomas.
Both locations are in disadvantaged communities where many residents do not own a car and need a bicycle for daily transportation.
In addition to the lending library, we envision the creation of a community-driven initiative aimed at developing workforce development skills, while promoting healthy lifestyles, and sustainable transportation among youth. The "Positive SPIN Bike Collective” will provide a platform for youth to learn basic bike and basic e-bike repair skills while also giving them the opportunity to earn free bicycles through their active participation. This program will not only empower young adults with practical skills but also foster a sense of responsibility, teamwork, and community engagement. We expect the Positive SPIN Bike Collective to be led and run by young adults in partnership with Community Shop Class and the Sustainability Leadership Academy, managed by Sierra Service Project.
Both of these objectives: e-bike lending libraries and the opening of a bike collective, will ultimately enhance the communities in which they are located. E-bikes have the ability to change a person’s life with much needed transportation for daily errands and trips. The Bike Collective will provide space to experientially teach community members how to work on their own bikes as the program matures.
Objectives:
● Establish a community run bicycle collective (shop and repair), that is run and led by young adults. ● Establish a community-centric e-bike lending library to provide convenient access to e-bikes for adults. ● Educate users about the benefits of e-bikes, safe riding practices, maintenance, and their role in reducing carbon footprint.
● Create engaging experiences through guided group rides, workshops, and events to build a sense of community and enthusiasm for sustainable transportation.
● Skill Development: Teach youth fundamental bike repair skills, empowering them with the ability to maintain and fix their bicycles, thus fostering independence and self-sufficiency. 36 ● Sustainable Transportation: Raise awareness about the environmental benefits of cycling as an eco-friendly mode of transportation, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and congestion. ● Community Engagement: Create a sense of community and camaraderie among participants by providing a platform for youth to work together on bike repair projects and earn rewards. ● Workforce development: E-bikes are currently the largest sector of the bicycle market and having the skills needed to successfully and safely repair and retrofit bicycles and e-bikes is a marketable skill. Our program will teach these skills experientially to cohorts of students from the Sustainability Leadership Academy Program Components:
● Bike Repair Workshops:
○ Organize hands-on workshops where young adults learn basic bike maintenance and repair skills from experienced professional mechanics. Topics to be covered include: tire repair, brake adjustments, chain maintenance, and basic troubleshooting. Additionally, specific skills for e-bike maintenance and retrofitting analog bikes to e-bikes will be covered. Workshops will be interactive, engaging, and tailored to different skill levels.
● Positive SPIN Bicycle Collective:
○ Organize a bicycle collective in partnership with Community Shop Class. The location lends itself for a bike collective with no other bicycle related services in a 5-mile radius. All aspects of running a bicycle shop will be covered and taught. The Collective will be young adult led and run, with support from SABA’s master mechanics who also have extensive bike shop experience. ● Community Repair Events:
○ Organize community bike repair events, where young adults, local residents and families can bring their bicycles for repair and maintenance assistance from SABA’s master bicycle mechanics.
Encourage families to participate together, fostering intergenerational skill sharing and community bonding.
● Safety and Riding Education:
○ Equip participants with the knowledge and confidence to navigate their neighborhoods safely.
Incorporating bicycle safety and riding education sessions, teaching participants about proper helmet usage, road rules, and safe cycling practices and then advanced skill sets once the basics are mastered will be available.
● Community Partnerships:
○ Collaborate with local businesses, bike shops, schools, and community organizations to support the program's workshops and events. Seek partnership for event location and other resources required for repair activities.
● Incentives and Recognition:
○ Recognize participants' achievements through certificates, badges, or awards, motivating them to actively engage in the program.

Brief Project/Program Description:
In partnership with Tacos La Piedad, Gardenland Northgate Neighborhood Association, Office of Councilmember Karina Talamantes, Office of Innovation & Economic Development, and the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation a Taco Plaza is being built to create a hub of economic vitality for food trucks and vendors, offer a green oasis through landscaping and garden features, create a community space for visual and performing arts, and events. It will be a place that the neighbors can enjoy but that also invites all of Sacramento and visitors to come to this destination.
Tacos are more than just food; tacos are a symbol of unity and togetherness representing the heart of our community.
Taco Plaza will be a place where people from all walks of life can gather, savor delicious tacos, and create lasting memories. The Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation in partnership with the City of Sacramento has assisted the property owner and neighborhood association obtain a conditional use permit to allow for pop-up events and has also applied for an entertainment permit. This has allowed the Northgate community and Sacramento residents see the draw the Taco Plaza will bring to a corridor that has been overlooked in economic investment for too long.
As of now, the site is a lightly used parking lot with a beautiful mural “Rhythm & Victory” on the wall facing out to the adjacent street Peralta. Atlas Labs, a local, Latina-owned business has created the design for the Taco Plaza that includes the lettering “TACO” , a small stage, ground mural, landscaping, shading, areas for food trucks and vendors as well as limited parking. (Attached design and estimate)
Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is the Project Coordinator for the Taco Plaza and is convening and contracting the appropriate experts to build the Taco Plaza and bring it to completion as well as tracking the expenses and oversight of the budget. We have reached out to several construction companies for insight and assistance to provide the construction estimates and timeline as well as to help us contract with a Construction manager to work in partnership with the designer. The estimated completion for the Taco Plaza is the end of 2025.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Transformative Programming Works (TPW) was formed in 2016 by 4 community-based organizations (CBOs) and is now a statewide coalition of formerly incarcerated people, allies, and more than 100 CBOs that offer restorative/transformative programming collectively in all California state prisons. TPW advocates at the state level for increasing access to CBO programming for all people living in California prisons, and to accelerate the impact of sentencing reforms towards our north star goal of de-incarceration and increased public safety.
We are organizers that fill a gap in current justice movements by mobilizing direct service providers into collective advocacy to increase access to restorative and healing programs in prisons and providing resources and system navigation to increase capacity and service provision for our members. Our members offer humanizing, trauma- informed programs that become hubs of healing inside prisons resulting in safer prison environments, better reentry preparation and outcomes, increased family reunification, increased participation in employment, decreased recidivism, and decreased public expenditures on incarceration, unemployment, and other social services. Our members also provide community education, victim services, family support, reentry support, legal services, job readiness, etc. in the free world.
TPW is based in Assemblymember McCarty’s district, close to the capitol and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s (CDCR) headquarters. TPW member organizations bring direct value to Assemblymember McCarty’s district by serving incarcerated individuals originating from Sacramento County and AD-06, by providing rehabilitative programs to people incarcerated across the state who will parole to Sacramento County/AD-06, and by supporting reentry programming/family reunification in the AD-06 community directly.
According to CDCR’s most recent data, there are currently 2,938 people on parole in Sacramento County, which is
8.3% of the parole population and which CDCR categorizes as a “high concentration” of individuals on parole. This aligns with a recent report from the Prison Policy Initiative that shows people in California prisons overwhelmingly come from four counties - one of which is Sacramento. Sacramento has the sixth-highest imprisonment rate in the state at 558 per 100,000 people. 15% of our members are based in AD-06, delivering essential community services to over 300 current residents annually. Additionally, 100% of our members are dedicated to serving incarcerated individuals across CA, with approximately 7,934 expected to parole to Sacramento County in the foreseeable future. These figures do not encompass the additional support provided to loved ones nor the broader enhancement of public safety within the AD-06 community.
We are respectfully requesting a one-time investment of $50,000 from the district budget to support our 2024-25 objectives. These objectives include hosting a monthly recurring virtual member meeting, organizing 3-5 webinars, advocacy training, 1:1 mentoring/ coaching, and hosting our 2025 Sacramento Convening. These initiatives are designed to enhance the capacity and service offerings for our members, encompassing advocacy training, trauma- informed care, community resource sharing, system navigation, leveraging technology for increased service provision, curriculum development, employment development, legal advice, and peer coaching. These efforts directly contribute to empowering marginalized communities in California's political processes, facilitating trauma recovery, promoting family reunification, improving employability, enhancing access to education and housing, fostering better community integration, and reduced recidivism rates.
42 Please see the attached budget for a breakdown of costs and people served.
With regard to timeline, all of our initiatives will be carried out in 2025. We will be hosting our monthly membership meeting from January through December. We will plan and promote several webinars in the beginning of the year to execute from April to October and then use November and December to solicit feedback, debrief, harness learnings and do “share backs” with our members, and identify programmatic and advocacy priorities for the coming year.

Brief Project/Program Description:
• Our current patient fee is $225 per month which provides patient treatment by an Addiction Medicine certified provider, access to psychiatric care 1-on-1 counseling, group counseling, and buprenorphine medication management. Patients also have access to transportation services, and insurance assistance for medication approvals. Currently we provide these services free of charge to about 67 patients a month with a scholarship fund (we take out of our bottom line).
• We would love to increase our scholarship fund by $50,000 with the assistance of your office. This would allow us to manage free patient treatment for up to an additional 200 patients a year. Funding would be used for patients, bridging out of jail, loss of income (job)/ Family Hardships, loss of insurance coverage (bridge until new coverage), and natural disaster assistance (patient relocation etc.). Additional funding will also be used to assist patients in paying for medication and transportation to and from the clinic. • Income restricted patients are identified by Harm Reduction Services, Substance Use Navigators from surrounding hospitals and the Street Overdose Response Team from Sac City Fire. • Our office is referred 10 or more of these patients a month. The majority of these patients are being assisted by these organization to help enroll in Medi-Cal. Because these patients are uninsured and cannot afford treatment/ or wait for treatment. Patients are referred to our clinic for bridge treatment until they can find a program.
• Provider then treat patients for up to 3 months until they can either find a treatment center or enroll in insurance/Medi-Cal.

Brief Project/Program Description:
UniverSOUL Cafe, a community-led workforce development organization located in North Sacramento, provides access to food and culinary support for our participants, their families, and the community. Access to food plays a crucial role in violence prevention through various mechanisms that address both direct and underlying factors contributing to violent behavior. Dignified access to food helps with violence prevention by:
● Addressing Basic Needs: Access to an adequate and nutritious food supply meets a fundamental human need.
When individuals, especially youth, have reliable access to food, they are less likely to experience hunger or food insecurity, which can lead to desperation and potentially aggressive or violent behavior in seeking sustenance. ● Promoting Physical and Mental Well-Being: Nutritious food is essential for maintaining physical health and cognitive function. A well-balanced diet supports overall well-being, including mood regulation and stress management. Adequate nutrition can help reduce irritability, impulsivity, and other risk factors associated with violence.
● Supporting Academic Achievement: Proper nutrition is linked to improved cognitive function and academic performance. Children and adolescents with access to nutritious meals are better able to concentrate, learn, and succeed in school. Academic success provides a protective factor against engaging in risky or violent behaviors. ● Strengthening Social Cohesion: Access to food can foster a sense of community and social cohesion. Shared meals and food-related activities bring people together, promoting positive social interactions and support networks.
Strong social connections reduce feelings of isolation and alienation, which are risk factors for violence. ● Alleviating Economic Pressures: Food insecurity often coexists with poverty and economic hardship. Providing access to food through affordable meals, food assistance programs, or community food resources can alleviate financial stressors and reduce the likelihood of resorting to crime or violence for survival or economic gain. ● Teaching Life Skills: Programs that provide access to food, such as community gardens or cooking classes, can also impart valuable life skills related to nutrition, food preparation, and budgeting. Learning these skills empowers individuals to make healthier food choices, manage resources effectively, and build self-sufficiency, all of which contribute to long-term violence prevention.
By ensuring equitable access to nutritious food, communities can create environments that nurture individuals and reduce the likelihood of violence.
Additionally, we employ those most impacted by food insecurity and food vulnerability; youth, elderly, justice- impacted community members, and those unhomed or underhomed to assist with food reclamation, distribution, and composting. We are saving the planet, one meal at a time!
This grant award will allow us to completely furnish the shared commercial kitchen space. The equipment that we purchase will assist in our food recovery efforts and simplify the food storage process.

Brief Project/Program Description:
In March 2023, GSUL purchased a dilapidated 3,750 sq. ft. retail/commercial building (two -thirds unfinished interior) and the immediately adjacent vacant lot, which is physically located on the southwest corner of Marysville Boulevard and Grand Avenue.
On the corner lot, GSUL envisions a permanent outdoor gathering space – Grand Gathering - with an electrified performance stage and permanent furniture where community members can engage and gather for concerts, a farmers market, food truck nights, craft a nd vendor fairs and other community building functions and events.
Needed improvements include landscaping, solar panel coverings, lighting, furnishings, a restroom, and decorative fencing to enclose the lot. These improvements will benefit the area by att racting more visitors, decreasing vacancies, and spurring new investments. A safe, exciting, and centrally located outdoor gathering space will be a welcomed resource.
Funding from this grant will cover the complete costs of the construction phase of Grand Gathering and the indirect costs leading up to construction.

Brief Project/Program Description:
Overview:
The Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association is poised to initiate its Road Safety Improvement Project, courtesy of a $50,000 grant from Assembly Member Kevin McCarty. This project is a direct continuation of its collaborative work with the City of Sacramento, aiming to enhance safety measures beyond the High Injury Network and engage community members in creating safer streets.
The Tahoe Park Neighborhood Road Safety Improvements Project will implement a variety of low-cost traffic calming, traffic control enhancements, and crash reduction treatments within Tahoe Park and the neighboring communities within City Council District 6, including Tahoe Tallac, Fruitridge Manor, and Colonial Heights. While existing local funding sources are allocated to install safety measures on the High Injury Network, as established in the City Council adopted Vision Zero Action Plan, this $50,000 grant will make it possible to extend similar treatments to locations with the same systemic risk factors, but less documented crashes.
With the generous support of Assembly Member McCarty and the strategic partnership with the City of Sacramento, the Road Safety Improvement Project represents an innovative approach to addressing critical safety concerns. By focusing on community-driven solutions and leveraging state funds with local insights, the project will make significant strides towards a safer, more inclusive transportation network in the neighborhood and beyond.
Objective:
The goal is to expand the scope of road safety improvements to include additional corridors and intersections identified as problematic by community members and not just those on the High Injury Network. This project will focus on areas within Tahoe Park and the neighboring communities within City Council District 6, including Tahoe Tallac, Fruitridge Manor, and Colonial Heights.
Scope and Implementation:
• Conduct community outreach sessions to identify and prioritize additional corridors and intersections for safety interventions. (Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association)
• Implement targeted, cost-effective safety enhancements informed by community feedback and professional best practices. (City of Sacramento)
• Foster collaboration with City staff to ensure the alignment of efforts with broader citywide safety objectives. 57 Expected Outcomes:
• A measurable reduction in unwanted traffic incidents and behaviors and enhanced safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists in the targeted areas.
• Increased community engagement in road safety initiatives, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards local transportation issues.
• Strengthened partnership with the City of Sacramento, setting a precedent for community-led safety improvements.
Example Locations and Treatments:
• Location: 21st Avenue from Stockton Boulevard to 65th Street, corridor with median park Concern: speeding, stop sign running, pedestrian safety Treatment: low-cost curb extensions, lane narrowing, reflective red tape on stop sign poles, high visibility crosswalks
• Location: 8th Avenue, 11th Avenue, 59th Street, 60th Street, and 61st Street, corridors surrounding Tahoe Park, and Tahoe Elementary School

Grant Amount: $200,000
Estimated Total Project Cost: $200,000
Brief Project/Program Description:
The City of Sacramento's Department of Public Works will oversee the $200,000 project aimed at improving existing bike lanes along Del Paso Road between El Centro Rd. and E. Commerce Way in North Natomas. Del Paso Road is frequently traveled by students from Natomas Charter School and Inderkum High School, making the enhancements particularly relevant for young cyclists. The project completion is estimated to be done by fall of 2025.
This initiative entails a design-build approach to enhance the current conditions of bike lanes on Del Paso Road adjacent to the two-lane east and two lanes westbound lanes also serving vehicles entering and exiting the heavily traveled Interstate 5. In addition to the two on-ramps, the freeway exits, comprising three lanes southbound and five lanes northbound, intersect Del Paso Road. The project focuses on a 4,000 square feet area, encompassing both sides of the overpass on Del Paso Road, clearly delineating the multimode freeway overpass for cyclist travel.
This includes adding treatments to highlight cyclist paths, especially where they merge into opposing traffic.
Improving the bicycle lanes will create safer spaces for cyclists, reducing the risk of accidents with motor vehicles. It encourages cycling as an eco-friendly transportation option, benefiting all age groups and abilities, and promoting inclusivity beyond traditional car travel. Enhanced bike lanes not only reduce traffic congestion but also contribute to improved air quality and public health outcomes.
Moreover, investing in bicycle lanes supports sustainable urban planning by fostering walkable and bikeable communities, ultimately enhancing property values and economic vitality. Overall, enhancing bicycle lanes aligns with safety, health, sustainability, and urban livability goals, making it a crucial aspect of transportation infrastructure development.

Brief Project/Program Description:
The City of Sacramento is home to one of the most diverse communities of immigrants in the United States. Since the 1980’s, Sacramento has been a popular destination for Vietnamese immigrants and families, specifically along Stockton Boulevard, due to affordable housing and economic opportunities along the corridor. Sacramento’s Little Saigon was officially established on February 2, 2010, and is located on the Stockton Boulevard Corridor from Riza Avenue to Fruitridge Road in recognition of the vibrant Vietnamese cultural and economic activities in the area.
The goal of the project is to implement a gateway monument at a location in Sacramento’s Little Saigon community on Stockton Boulevard, between Riza Avenue and 47th Avenue. The proposed improvements will include a gateway monument to recognize, activate, and revitalize the community as well as welcome visitors to the cultural experiences, education, restaurants, services, businesses, and community. The City’s Department of Public Works will engage the community for feedback during the project delivery process. The grant funds will be used for the project delivery effort including public engagement and outreach, preliminary engineering, design, right-of-way/easement coordination, construction and construction engineering.

Brief Project/Program Description:
CREATIVE CROSSWALK (Garden Valley Elementary – District 3): Working together with school Admin, APP would hire a Design Artist and Teaching Artist through an open call Request for Qualification. The Design Artist and the Teaching Artist would work together to engage students in the school, and the Design Artist would ultimately be in charge of producing the final to-scale design. The Design Artist would work with a licensed contractor to have the design transferred and painted within the crosswalk, following within city Creative Crosswalk guidelines. Maintenance of the crosswalk will still need to be discussed and finalized, perhaps in partnership with the school district.
Students would engage with artists and the design elements will come out of the engagement work with students. Other ancillary projects with students can allow for a small art show at the school to highlight the design development work. This meaningful project will both seek to involve students and Northgate community members in the design process for a crosswalk outside the school that will be used by visitors and students for years to come.
