Pomona, CA’s Pomona Kids First

Annual Money Generated: $20 million

Measure Y sets aside up to 10% of Pomona’s unrestricted general purpose revenue and dedicates it to a new Department of Children and Youth. This department would allocate funding to organizations providing community programs and services to three priority populations: (1) children from birth to age 12; (2) youth ages 13 to 17; and (3) disconnected and/or transition-aged young adults ages 18 to 24 who are most impacted by harm, inequity, and lack of access to support and services.
