California Jobs First (CJF)

California Jobs First (CJF), formerly CERF-Community Economic Resilience Fund, is a State investment to support inclusive regional planning and the development of high-priority economic development projects that benefit disinvested communities, create high road jobs, and transition the region to a net-zero emission economy. Comite Civico del Valle is one of the co-conveners in the Southern Border Coalition (SBC) that is leading these efforts by using grassroots economic development strategies to engage disinvested communities during the planning and implementation phases.
