Governor Gavin Newsom launched $300 million in Clean California grants, inviting local communities to submit proposals for projects – aimed at cleaning local streets, tribal lands, parks, and transit centers across the western state.
As part of Newsom's $1.1 billion Clean California initiative, these new grants will create employment and facilitate local community participation in beautifying the public spaces. Clean California also expands Newsom's efforts to eliminate 1.2 million cubic yards of trash (up from 270,000 cubic yards in 2020) from state highways each year. According to the Governor's office, the initiative will provide 10,000 to 11,000 jobs to people, including homeless, at-risk youth, local artists, veterans, and students, for over three years.
While announcing the availability of grants, Newsom acknowledged the need to take serious action in removing litter from the street. He further asserted the importance of investments made through Clean California. He said that it will help engage the local community in creating "public spaces that all Californians can take pride in."
