So proud 🥹

Congratulations to Building Blocks for Kids - one of the local organizations that was awarded a micro grant through our Asset Forfeiture Fund Community Funds allocation program! This organization empowers low-income high school students by providing a progressive financial literacy and career-based education. Their goal is for their students to maximize financial independence and social mobility as adults. You can learn more about 'Building Blocks' at https://bbfkids.org .

*About Asset Forfeiture Community Funds:
The Oxnard Police Department participates with outside agencies in the investigation and prosecution of narcotics related crimes. Assets seized are proportionately shared among the participating agencies. The California Health & Safety Code requires that a portion of the seized assets “shall be used for the sole purpose of funding programs designed to combat drug abuse and divert gang activity…It is the intent of the Legislature to cause the development and continuation of positive intervention programs for high-risk elementary and secondary school age students.

We recently conducted an application process for community-based organizations to present youth-based programs eligible for this funding. Funding recommendations were made to the Chief of Police and we selected fourteen organizations to receive these funds.
