Research has shown the adverse effects of the <br />social isolation period and home confinement. Social isolation creates various effects in <br />different domains such as physical activity, weight gain, psychological states, mood <br />disturbances, anxiety, depression, and irritability. In this particular juncture marked by the <br />COVID-19 pandemic, SAPAAL continues its work by building trust between the <br />community and the Santa Ana Police Department. <br />The Santa Ana Police Department proposes spending $123,404 of American Rescue Plan <br />Act (also referred to as "ARPA" or "Revive Santa Ana") funds to implement and expand <br />youth programs as part of SAPAAL. The proposed furniture purchase will provide <br />workspace for students at multiple SAPAAL locations, including Central SAPAAL and the <br />future Santa Anita SAPAAL and Cypress SAPAAL. Through education and physical <br />activities, the program participants' well-being and mental attitude will benefit from the <br />additional resources available to them after school. <br />
