The People's Budget

Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)

Rough cost estimate: Between $500,000 and $2 million

Evaluation notes:

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

✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction. 

✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor. 

✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.

Justification: N/a

Other notes: There are no investments currently in entrepreneurship (unless through an existing CBO), but would be an important investment opportunity. Estimated Cost range depends on size/scope of program. Might want to consider connecting with OED on this.

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.
