The resolution calls for long-term, sustainable public investment in school-year youth jobs as a core city infrastructure priority. It notes past funding levels, including 1,804 funded slots in 2025–2026 and a peak of 2,531 slots in 2023–2024, and argues for expanding funding to support youth employment year-round, including immigrant youth, with private funding supplements not replacing public investment.
