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 incur costs indefinitely. 

Justification: There are existing organizations that could take this work on but would need an ongoing funding source.

Other notes: OPCD does not currently have this type of program but could develop it in partnership with other City departments and external stakeholders
