The People's Budget

Type of funding: Infrastructure (capital)

Rough cost estimate: N/A

Evaluation notes:

✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.

✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction. 

❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely. 

Justification: This doesn't have to be a specific building just for immigrants and refugees (I&R); it could look like designating a percentage of housing units to new coming I&R

Other notes: There has been an increase in number of migrants arriving. There are tremendous language barriers and CBOs do not have capacity or resources to address this increased need. Funding to address this in coordination with KCRHA would be tremendously beneficial.

Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
