Measure X was passed by voters that named <br />YOUTH a priority for this new money, it's time that youth see this money. We call for The City of Santa <br />Ana to allocate funding towards a Youth Strategic Plan that assesses gaps and challenges affecting <br />youth, evaluates current youth services, and outlines a long term proposal to support all the young people <br />in Santa Ana. <br />-Beremse L <br />
