In 1996, City voters adopted Proposition K: the L.A. for Kids Program. The measure provides $25 million in assessment funds per year for 30 years for acquisition and capital improvements to parks, recreation, and community facilities serving youth citywide.
Yesterday, I introduced a motion directing the City to begin planning in advance of the scheduled expiration date of Proposition K in order to continue these types of investments and prevent a lapse in program funding.
Our youth deserve access to facilities and programs that equip them to achieve their full potential and championing their needs remains a driving force in my work to achieve greater equity and public safety outcomes that betters our quality of life.
