Community Study Sessions

Sep 30, 2024



CERF OC/Jobs First Summary of Community Visions, Needs, and Projects


In September and October 2024, residents and community organizations hosted two study sessions to review the proposed Jobs First Regional Plan, Part II.  Participants were able to ask clarifying questions, make comments, and -- most importantly -- discuss whether the proposed economic strategies would meet community needs as they were shared at the "Our Economy" forums.


Finally, our team summarized community visions, needs, and project ideas into this summary document, in English and Spanish.








Together with several sister organizations and local residents, THRIVE seeks to make sure that the perspective of disinvested communities is centered in the CERF initiative, from the initial planning process, into the definition of strategies and selection of projects.  We invite Santa Ana and Orange County residents to make sure these public resources support economic strategies that are rooted in community participation, ownership, and decision-making.  THRIVE believes a grassroots participative approach is essential for public resources to be invested responsibly, where they are most needed.
