Description

State Solution
(Type of Activity: Program Implementation and Outreach )

State should provide flexible, multi-year funding to CBOs and community participants, including advance funding, extended timelines, and raised stipend caps, removing the cash-flow barriers and compensation restrictions that prevent the organizations and individuals most essential to equitable engagement from sustaining their participation.

Existing Examples of Progress: Southern California Edison - Utility-funded outreach: Edison provided advance engagement funding to CBO partners, enabling early outreach before state funding cycles caught up. This ensured participation wasn’t stalled by cash flow issues
Region: San Francisco Bay Area, Central Coast, Los Angeles
