Fairfield to review Measure P funding for homelessness outreach and cleanup
Summary
An agency official said Measure P funds a portion of cleanup and engagement teams that balance public-space maintenance with outreach, and that the city is researching an update to how that Measure P funding is used; the teams are part of 16% of the general fund supported by Measure P.
An agency official said the city of Fairfield uses Measure P to help fund teams that combine community cleanups with outreach to people experiencing homelessness, and that the city is researching changes to that funding.
"Measure P provides a portion of the funding for these clean up and engagement efforts," the agency official said. The official added that the teams try to "offer residents a path to resources while maintaining our public spaces." The speaker said those teams "are part of 16% of the general fund supported by Measure P."
The presentation framed the city’s work as a blended approach: teams conduct visible cleanups in public areas while simultaneously making direct contact with residents who may need social services. The official described the work as aiming to provide "a hand up with purpose," and said the city is researching an update to Measure P funding to support that goal.
No formal vote, motion, or ordinance was recorded in the transcript. The next procedural step described was the city’s research into updating Measure P funding; timing or specifics of any proposal, public hearing, or council action were not specified in the transcript.
