Residents of Boyle Heights, Mission Hills, North Hills, Panorama City and Southeast L.A. can vote on $3M funding.
City and community leaders announced on Friday, March 31, that they are seeking public input into a monthlong budgeting effort to decide how to allocate $3 million, which will be spent in three Los Angeles communities — Boyle Heights, Mission Hills/Panorama City/North Hills, and Southeast Los Angeles.
A “Get Out the Vote” press conference was held Friday in Watts for LA Reforms for Equity and Public Acknowledgement of Institutional Racism, the city’s first — and California’s largest — participatory budgeting program. It was created by the City of Los Angeles’ Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department.
“Participatory budgeting gives real people real power over real money,” said Capri Maddox, executive director of L.A. Civil Rights. “For the first time, historically marginalized people in Los Angeles are deciding how city dollars are spent, giving them the power to address longstanding issues in their communities.”
LA Repair will allocate approximately $8.5 million over nine zones, which include formerly redlined neighborhoods and communities that the LA Civil Rights Department identified with high poverty, pollution, COVID-19 mortality rates and lack of home internet access in the city.
