On December 20, 2022, the City Council of the City of Victorville adopted Resolution No. 22-124, which included approval of an updated Land Use Element of the City's General Plan. Subsequently, on February 6, 2024, the City Council of the City of Victorville adopted updated Zoning Ordinance No. 2448 which included updated development standards, densities, and the implantation of new mixed- use allowances which will result in lower-income housing developments and increased opportunities for placemaking.
Additionally, on August 17, 2021, the Victorville City Council approved the formation of the CRIA as a financial mechanism to help with the revitalization of the Old Town area as prescribed in the City's Old Town Specific Plan. In February 2023, the CRIA Board voted to include sites within the 6th Cycle Housing Element, thereby expanding the CRIA Project Area to capture increases in revenue and allocations to the investment area. The City plans to use property tax increment revenue for revitalization activities like infrastructure improvements; low- and moderate-income housing development; real property acquisition; loans or grants to owners and tenants to improve, rehabilitate and retrofit buildings; and business assistance.
Finally, in March of 2023, a professional services contract was awarded for the design of a new civic plaza within the Civic Center Sustainability Specific Plan which will include a new police station, civic memorial spaces, enhanced pedestrian connections, and space for community events. In April of 2024, land was purchased for the future development. Phase I of the conceptual design is currently in the CEQA process, with an expected completion in May 2026. Phase II was completed in October 2025, which included schematic drawings and cost estimates. In November of 2025, Phase III was approved, which is the final design and construction administration. Project completion is expected in 2028.

Although the Homelessness Solutions Task Force was dissolved in 2024, the City’s Homelessness Solutions Staff actively collaborate with a wide range of community-based organizations to dismantle service siloes and enhance the coordination of homeless services. This collective approach ensures a more comprehensive and integrated response to the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. Specifically, the team partners with organizations dedicated to supporting transitional-aged youth, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, seniors, individuals with mental health challenges, and those living with disabilities. With a focus on addressing the diverse needs of these populations, the city’s efforts are centered on providing holistic care that includes not only immediate stabilization but also long-term housing solutions.

This collective approach ensures a more comprehensive and integrated response to the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. Specifically, the team partners with organizations dedicated to supporting transitional-aged youth, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, seniors, individuals with mental health challenges, and those living with disabilities. With a focus on addressing the diverse needs of these populations, the city’s efforts are centered on providing holistic care that includes not only immediate stabilization but also long-term housing solutions.
In 2025, 75% of the population served by our Wellness Center identified as having some form of disability, underscoring the importance of tailored services that address both the physical and mental health needs of our residents. The city is committed to offering a broad range of services, including healthcare, case management, mental health support, and disability-specific assistance. By continuously engaging with community partners, we ensure that individuals receive the resources and support necessary to achieve stability and work toward sustainable housing goals. This collaborative effort is key to addressing the multifaceted challenges of homelessness and fostering lasting solutions that promote dignity, independence, and well-being.

Subject:
California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program - Budget Amendment Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-011, approving a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 to appropriate $56,780.00 in both revenue and expenditures related to the Tobacco Grant Program as awarded by the California Department of Justice.
Fiscal Impact:
Adopting Resolution No. 26-011 (Attachment A) will result in additional revenue and expenditures in the amount of $56,780.00. These funds will be allocated as shown below:
Account Amount
2704020-43110-20595 (Revenue – Tobacco Grant Program) $56,780.00 2704020-51100-20595 (Expense – Full Time Wages) $34,962.00 2704020-51110-20595 (Expense – Overtime Wages) $8,741.00 2704020-51200-20595 (Expense – Full Time Fringe Benefits) $5,006.00 2704020-51300-20595 (Expense – Payroll Taxes) $1,352.00 2704020-52110-20595 (Expense – Supplies) $3,796.00
2704020-52140-20595 (Expense – Training / Education) $221.00 2704020-52300-20595 (Expense – Contract Services) $2,702.00
Strategic Plan Goal:
The subject grant supports the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026 by advancing the following key goals:
Goal B – Public Safety: This grant provides funding for the City’s required annual inspections of alcohol and tobacco retailers to ensure compliance with State and local laws. These inspections help verify adequate on-site lighting, maintain clear 4 5
9 6
visibility within establishments, and prevent loitering and illegal activities. By strengthening oversight and compliance, the program enhances safety for customers, employees, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Goal C – Community and Economic Development: The grant also supports a proactive Code Compliance approach to confirm adherence to maintenance and site condition standards. As outlined in Ordinance No. 2450 (Attachment B) these requirements are intended to improve the appearance of non-compliant properties and preserve overall community standards. Maintaining attractive and well- regulated commercial areas supports business retention and encourages new investment within the City.
Goal D – Reduce Homelessness: The program further assists the City’s efforts to reduce homelessness by limiting access to illegal tobacco products and drug paraphernalia. Strengthening enforcement helps ensure retailers operate responsibly and become part of the solution in addressing substance abuse and illegal drug use, issues that are not uncommon within the City’s homeless population. Reducing access to these items may also decrease the need for homeless outreach services in the areas surrounding alcohol and tobacco retailers, which are frequently located near one another.
Background:
On May 8, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended City Council Adoption of Ordinance No. 2450, which proposed additional regulations and annual inspections of retail establishments that sell alcohol or tobacco for off-site consumption. Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended that City staff seek grant funding to implement the proposal.
On June 18, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to seek grant funding to support implementation of Ordinance No. 2450, which was later adopted by the City Council on July 17, 2024.
On June 28, 2024, staff applied for the Tobacco Grant Program through the California Department of Justice requesting $126,745.00 to aid in the implementation and enforcement of Ordinance No. 2450.
On October 16, 2024, the Department of Justice informed staff that the grant application was approved in the amount of $111,120.00 to spend over the course of two years. The grant funding awarded allocated $54,340.00 to be expended in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 & $56,780.00 to be expended in FY 2025/2026.
On October 24, 2024, the City submitted a Letter of Intent to accept the Tobacco Grant Program award in the amount of $111,120, noting that final City Council approval would be required to formally accept the grant.
4 5
9 6
On November 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-100 (Attachment C) formally accepting the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant in the total amount of $111,120 to support the implementation and enforcement of tobacco retailer inspections and education, and Resolution No. 24.101 (Attachment D), amending the FY 2024/2025 Budget to appropriate $54,340.00 of the total grant award.
Discussion:
The California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016 (Proposition 56) was enacted to promote a healthier California by reducing illegal retail sales and marketing of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to minors. The Tobacco Grant Program, established in 2017 and administered by the Office of the Attorney General, provides annual funding to local public agencies throughout the state. These funds support local enforcement efforts aimed at reducing the illegal sale and marketing of tobacco products to minors and youth, including site inspections and enforcement against prohibited sales and the marketing of illegal tobacco products and drug paraphernalia. These activities align with the goals and enforcement provisions of Ordinance No. 2450.
The California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program will supplement existing Code Enforcement funding to support ongoing enforcement activities related to Ordinance No. 2450. Grant funds will also support training and educational materials for staff and affected business owners, as well as the purchase of two light meters to verify that retail establishments maintain safe, well-lit exteriors in compliance with the ordinance. Reimbursable activities under the grant commenced on November 1, 2024.
Since grant acceptance and the start of the eligible reimbursement period on November 19, 2024, the Code Compliance Division has actively implemented the program. Staff has conducted over 160 tobacco retailer compliance inspections, including site inspections and light level assessments, to ensure adherence to the operational and site standards established under Ordinance No. 2450. These enforcement efforts have resulted in increased compliance awareness among retailers and have strengthened the City’s ability to identify and address prohibited sales and noncompliant conditions.
Although the grant performance period extends through FY 2025/2026, reimbursement for eligible grant-funded activities will remain available through June 30, 2028.
Accordingly, any unexpended funds may be carried forward into subsequent fiscal years; however, funds must be expended by June 30, 2028, unless a written extension is approved by the California Department of Justice Grant Manager.
Grant funds are provided on a reimbursement basis for actual expenditures in accordance with the Department of Justice’s approved budget. The funding will supplement existing Code Enforcement resources, provide limited Planning Department support for technical assistance, require no local match, and be administered by existing City staff.
Approval of the proposed action will amend the FY 2025/2026 budget to include the remaining previously accepted grant funds, enabling the City to continue and expand its 4 5
9 6
enforcement and education efforts. These activities support the City’s goals of promoting public health and safety, maintaining regulatory compliance among tobacco retailers, and reducing access to illegal tobacco products and drug paraphernalia that negatively impact the community, including vulnerable populations.
Staff recommends that the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-011, approving a budget amendment for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 to appropriate $56,780 in both revenue and expenditures related to the Tobacco Grant Program as awarded by the California Department of Justice.
Staff is available for any questions the City Council may have.

Submitted By:

Subject:
Letter of Support for Assembly Bill 1708 (Solache) – HHAP Pathways for Cities Act Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Authorize the Mayor to submit a letter of support for Assembly Bill 1708, including language recommending that a city-adopted homelessness strategic plan, aligned with regional goals, be recognized as satisfying applicable regional planning requirements; and
(2) Authorize staff to transmit the letter of support to the bill author, the City’s State legislative representatives, collaborating organizations, and through the State’s electronic advocacy portal.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action. However, passage of AB 1708 could significantly enhance the City’s opportunity to access Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Round 7 funding to support local homelessness response efforts.
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Goal D of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan; specifically, strategies three (3) and five (5), which state that in order to achieve the goal of reducing homelessness, the City should:
Expand on the existing homelessness outreach network to effectively engage the homeless community in services; and
Strengthen collaboration with the County and other entities to identify new funding opportunities and expand partnerships for homelessness services. 4 5
8 7
Inasmuch as the proposed Assembly Bill would create a new pathway for cities with populations under 300,000 to access HHAP Round 7 funding through their Continuum of Care (CoC), support for AB 1708 is intended to expand homelessness outreach efforts, strengthen collaboration with San Bernardino County, and increase access to additional resources.
Background:
Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention Program Overview Existing law establishes the HHAP program for the purpose of providing jurisdictions with grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges. It also allocates program funding to continuums of care, cities, counties, and tribes across six (6) rounds. Rounds 1 through 5 are administered by the Interagency Council on Homelessness while Round 6 is administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, as specified.
Additionally, law currently establishes Round 7 of the program and expresses the Legislature’s intent to adopt future legislation defining its parameters.
Effective July 1, 2026, existing law appropriates $500,000,000, for Round 7 of the program, to be disbursed in accordance with specified requirements. Funds may be distributed to a city, county, tribe, or continuum of care only after the initial disbursement of Round 6 funds is substantially complete and at least 50% of total Round 6 awards have been obligated. The law further requires the department, during the 2025–26 fiscal year, to prepare for administration of Round 7, with the goal of making initial disbursements available to eligible grantees meeting the statutory provisions for disbursement beginning September 1, 2026.
Current HHAP Eligibility Requirements
Currently, cities with populations under 300,000 must apply and compete with other subrecipients within the Continuum of Care (CoC). There is no prioritization for cities that are actively providing services or leveraging local resources.
Assembly Bill 1708, authored by Assemblymember José Luis Solache, Jr. and titled the HHAP Pathways for Cities Act, would update HHAP funding eligibility to require Continuums of Care receiving Round 7 funds to accept applications from cities with populations under 300,000 before allocating funds to other regional subrecipients.
Discussion:
AB 1708 Proposal
Cities with populations under 300,000 face significant homelessness challenges yet often rely heavily on local funds to address them. AB 1708 recognizes that these smaller jurisdictions are essential partners in California’s homelessness response and ensures they have a clearly defined opportunity to compete for state resources. If HHAP funding 4 5
8 7
were made available to smaller jurisdictions, these funding allocations would support local efforts to address homelessness such as:
Street outreach and coordinated entry participation
Interim housing and emergency shelter expansion
Rapid rehousing and housing navigation services
Encampment engagement and resolution strategies
Regional data tracking and system performance improvements By creating a defined pathway for smaller cities, AB 1708 would strengthen regional collaboration within Continuums of Care and ensure state funding reaches communities actively investing in homelessness solutions. The bill also reinforces accountability by requiring Housing Element compliance and adoption of structured encampment policies, aligning local action with statewide housing production and homelessness response goals.
AB 1708 Requirements
To be eligible for funding under this section, a jurisdiction must meet the following requirements:
(1) Adopt a resolution committing to participation in the regionally coordinated homelessness action plan and authorizing the Mayor to execute the related memorandum of understanding, following a public hearing and required public posting of the plan;
(2) Maintain a state-compliant Housing Element;
(3) Adopt a local encampment policy consistent with applicable administrative guidance; and
(4) Demonstrate alignment with program goals by showing how prior actions, programs, and funding allocations advance the objectives of the regional homelessness action plan and the HHAP Program, including efforts to prevent and reduce unsheltered homelessness.
Basis for City Support of AB 1708
AB 1708 advances equitable access to HHAP Round 7 funding while maintaining important regional coordination, accountability, and performance standards. Staff finds that the proposed framework creates a meaningful opportunity for smaller jurisdictions, such as the City of Victorville, to access additional resources that may otherwise be limited under existing structures. Specifically, the Continuum of Care will have to prioritize applications in which a smaller jurisdiction commits to utilizing Round 7 funding in partnership with a nonprofit organization, another smaller jurisdiction, or another private entity eligible for Round 7 funding.
While generally supporting AB 1708, City staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to submit a letter of support to the bill author, the City’s State 4 5
8 7
legislative representatives, collaborating organizations, and through the State’s electronic advocacy portal. The letter would also recommend including language recognizing a city- adopted homelessness strategic plan (aligned with regional goals) as satisfying applicable regional planning requirements.
Supporting flexibility for jurisdictions to implement locally developed, regionally consistent plans acknowledges the City’s ability to design targeted, data-driven responses that address its unique needs while contributing to broader regional outcomes. This approach reinforces the City’s commitment to pursuing innovative, accountable, and collaborative solutions that deliver measurable results for both the community and the region.

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: AB 1708 (Solache) HHAP Pathways for Cities Act.
Notice of SUPPORT (As Introduced 2/4/2026)
Dear Assembly Member Solache,
The City of Victorville is pleased to support AB 1708 (Solache), which would establish a new pathway for cities with populations under 300,000 to access state homelessness funding. The City also recommends the inclusion of language that would allow a city -adopted homelessness action plan, when aligned with regional goals, to be recognized in lieu of a regionally coordinated homelessness action plan.
Supporting flexibility for jurisdictions to implement locally developed, regionally consistent plans acknowledge the City’s ability to design targeted, data-driven responses to address its unique needs while contributing to broader regional outcomes. Such action would reinforce the City’s role in pursuing innovative, accountable, and collaborative solutions that deliver measurable results for both the community and the region as a whole.
Since 2019, the state’s flagship homelessness initiative, the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Grant program, has provided direct funding to cities with populations over 300,000, all 58 counties, and the state’s 44 Continuums of Care (CoCs).
This structure has left most cities without a consistent pathway to access HHAP funding, despite investing significant General Fund resources to prevent and reduce homelessness in their communities. AB 1708 would address this by creating a new opportunity for the 469 California cities with populations under 300,000 to apply for HHAP funding through their CoC.
Specifically, AB 1708 would require CoCs, before allocating funding to other subrecipients in their region, to accept applications for 30 days only from cities with populations under 300,000. This measure would strike a reasonable balance between access and accountability, requiring interested cities to commit to regionally coordinated action plans and adhere to state housing and encampment policies.
AB 1708 would also require CoCs to prioritize applications from cities that have existing partnerships with non-profits, other cities, or have already leveraged state and local funding for existing projects in their communities. This would ensure that limited state resources are deployed efficiently and deliver measurable results in reducing homelessness.
The City of Victorville would significantly benefit from additional HHAP funding to sustain operations at the 170-bed Victorville Wellness Center campus, expand rapid rehousing and landlord engagement, strengthen housing navigation and tenancy support, enhance coordinated entry data performance, and improve housing-focused encampment resolution. Additional state funding would reduce reliance on limited local resources while increasing exits to permanent housing and reducing unsheltered homelessness.
Victorville has implemented a proactive, housing-first, data-driven response centered on the Victorville Wellness Center, which integrates interim housing, outreach, case management, behavioral health partnerships, and regional Continuum of Care coordinati on. The City pairs structured, humane encampment policies with outreach and shelter access to create sustainable pathways off the streets.
The City has made substantial financial and operational investments to address homelessness, including acquiring and developing a dedicated campus; committing local funds for operations and staffing; leveraging Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF), Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG), and Permanent Local Housing Allocation ( PLHA) resources; launching rapid rehousing and motel bridge programs ; establishing a city -led outreach team ; and creating a Homelessness Solutions Division to oversee coordination, compliance, and grant administration.
These actions reflect the City’s long -term commitment to reducing homelessness through sustained infrastructure, strong partnerships, and measurable outcomes.
As the Governor and the Legislature consider future investments in the HHAP program, it is important to ensure the program is structured to maximize its reach and impact. Providing all cities with a pathway to participate in HHAP would strengthen regional collaboration and ensure state resources are deployed where they can most effectively serve unhoused Californians.
Local governments are uniquely situated to determine which programs and partnerships will deliver the greatest impact within their communities. AB 1708 recognizes this by creating a clearly defined opportunity for cities of all sizes to compete for state resources, ensuring that every community can play a meaningful role in the state’s homelessness response efforts.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth "Liz" Becerra
Mayor
City of Victorville

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1708
Introduced by Assembly Member Solache
February 4, 2026
An act to add Section 50246 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1708, as introduced, Solache. Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention program: round 7.
Existing law establishes the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) program for the purpose of providing jurisdictions with grant funds to support regional coordination and expand or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges, as specified. Existing law provides for the allocation of funding under the program among continuums of care, cities, counties, and tribes in 6 rounds, with rounds 1 to 5, inclusive, administered by the Interagency Council on Homelessness and round 6 administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development, as provided. Existing law establishes round 7 of the program and states the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation that specifies the parameters, as specified.
Existing law, effective July 1, 2026, appropriates $500,000,000, as specified, provided that these funds be disbursed in accordance with specified requirements, including that funds from this appropriation be disbursed to a city, county, tribe, or continuum of care for round 7 of the program after a declaration by the director of the department, in consultation with the Director of Finance, that the department has substantially completed its initial disbursement of round 6 funds to the city, county, tribe, or continuum of care and that the city, county, tribe, or continuum of care has obligated at least 50% of its total round 6 award. Existing law requires the department, during the 2025–26 fiscal year, to prepare to administer round 7 of the program with the goal that initial round 7 disbursements will be available to grantees meeting the statutory provisions for disbursement beginning September 1, 2026, as specified.
This bill would require a continuum of care receiving funding pursuant to round 7, as described above, to allocate funds to a smaller jurisdiction, defined as a city with a population under 300,000. The bill would require a smaller jurisdiction, in order to be eligible for funding, to, among other things, adopt a resolution, as specified, have a compliant housing element, and have adopted a local encampment policy, as described.
The bill would require a continuum of care to accept applications for funding in accordance with specified procedures.

That the Honorable City Council:
(1) Adopt Resolution No. 26-013 authorizing an agreement between the City of Victorville and San Bernardino County to receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program grant funding in the amount of $193,300.88 to support the ongoing operation of the Wellness Center and/or emergency shelter services serving individuals experiencing homelessness;

To oversee expenditure of the subject funding, $19,330.08 of the total award can be used for administrative functions of the City's Homelessness Solutions staff utilizing the existing client management system and local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Strategic Plan Goal:
This subject funding opportunity aligns with Goal D, Strategy, 5 of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, which states that in order to achieve the goal of reducing homelessness, the City should: Strengthen collaboration with the County and other entities to identify new funding opportunities and expand partnerships for homelessness services.
Background:
Grant History/Purpose
On March 25, 2025, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized the submission of a grant application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the 2024 Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program Continuum of Care (CoC) Allocation. The Office of Homeless Services (OHS) was designated by the San Bernardino City and County CoC to serve as the Administrative Entity for the ESG Program and to administer funds on behalf of participating jurisdictions.
On June 2, 2025, HCD announced the award of Cycle 1 funding under Contract No. 24- ESG-00040 to San Bernardino County. Cycle 1 includes a 21-month expenditure period and supports ESG-eligible activities, including Emergency Shelter, Rapid Re-Housing, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) implementation, and administrative costs.
City Proposal
On January 2, 2026, OHS contacted City of Victorville Homelessness Solutions staff to inquire about the City’s interest in utilizing ESG Cycle 1 funding to provide shelter services to individuals experiencing homelessness. Given the City’s existing Wellness Center operations and demonstrated capacity to safely shelter individuals while providing supportive services and stabilization assistance, the City is well positioned to implement ESG-funded activities that align with program requirements and local homelessness response efforts.
4 5
8 8
On February 6, 2026, a draft agreement was provided to City staff for review and execution.
Discussion:
Proposed Grant Uses
The recommended action will support the fiscal sustainability of the Victorville Wellness Center. For Cycle 1, the estimated allocation to the City of Victorville totals $193,300.88, distributed as follows:
Cold Weather Emergency Shelter: $47,890.84
Warm Weather Emergency Shelter: $47,890.84
Rapid Re-Housing: $78,189.12
Grant Administration: $19,330.08
Emergency Shelter funding will support Wellness Center services during the Cold Weather period (November 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026) and the Warm Weather period (May 1, 2026 through September 26, 2026). Rapid Re-Housing funding will assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness by quickly securing and maintaining stable housing through rental assistance and supportive services.
With this additional $193,300.88 in funding, the City will continue to address unsheltered homelessness by leveraging expanded resources and County partnership support, while also supporting operating costs.
Grant Requirements
If accepted, the funding period of performance will begin on January 2, 2026, and conclude on September 26, 2026. As part of the grant requirements, the City will be responsible for reporting on target populations served. These reporting obligations can be met by Homelessness Solutions staff through existing intake procedures and data collection systems. Additionally, the terms of the proposed grant agreement stipulate that the grant funds will be reimbursed to the City for eligible services provided.
Given the City’s established role as an administrator within a functioning Continuum of Care, staff does not anticipate any difficulty expending the funds within the required timeframe. Guided by the Strategic Action Plan and Citywide Strategic Plan, the City continues addressing homelessness while seeking outside funding to preserve local resources such as the General Fund and Measure P for other essential services.
Staff Recommendation
In alignment with the City’s Strategic Plan goals and the City’s continued collaboration with San Bernardino County, staff recommends that the Honorable City Council adopt Resolution Nos. 26-012 and 26-013, amending the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget and authorizing the City Manager to formally accept the $193,300.88 in available ESG 4 5

funding; authorize the City Manager to finalize all documents needed to execute the agreement and administer the overall project; and authorize the City Manager to make any necessary amendments to the agreement as deemed necessary by San Bernardino County or the City Attorney.

Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Strategic Goal F: Communication and Outreach to explore opportunities to add or modify community events and activities. Acceptance of the Lunch at the Library Summer 2026 Project grant will allow the Victorville City Library to enhance literacy programming and outreach services during the summer months, directly benefiting residents and strengthening community access to library resources.
Background:
The California State Library’s Lunch at the Library program provides funds and technical support to California public libraries to offer free summer meals for children and youth while providing learning and enrichment opportunities. The program is designed to strengthen libraries as community hubs by establishing library locations as U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) summer meal sites; pairing meals with educational activities and wraparound services; and connecting families with hands-on food education and locally sourced, sustainable food opportunities when available.
By combining nutrition with literacy and enrichment, Lunch at the Library assists with summer learning retention, supports family well-being during out-of-school months, and expands access to safe, welcoming spaces where children and teens can learn, socialize, and thrive.
Discussion:
The City applied to the California State Library for the Lunch at the Library Summer 2026 Project and received an award of $15,750 for the period of February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027.
Grant funds support a six-week program at the Victorville City Library that pairs meals for youth ages 0–17 with daily enrichment activities aligned with the Library’s Summer Reading Program. Planned program components include story times, arts and crafts, STEAM workshops, literacy-based games, weekly interactive presentations, and Friday movie screenings with facilitated discussions.
