Pofuna kulenga ntchito, kukonza chilengedwe ndi kulimbikitsa chuma, boma la federal mu December linapatsa California ReLeaf $ 6 miliyoni mu ndalama za American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Ndalama za ARRA zidzalola California ReLeaf kugawa ndalama zothandizira nkhalango 17 zamatawuni m'boma lonse, kubzala mitengo yoposa 23,000, kupanga kapena kusunga ntchito pafupifupi 200, ndikupereka maphunziro a ntchito kwa achinyamata ambiri pazaka ziwiri zikubwerazi.
Ndalama za ARRA zakhala zikuyang'anira ntchito zosiyanasiyana zobiriwira kuphatikiza ntchito pakuyika ma solar panel, mayendedwe ena, kuzimitsa moto, ndi zina zambiri. Thandizo la California ReLeaf ndi lapadera chifukwa limapereka ntchito pobzala ndi kusamalira mitengo yakumatauni.
Kupanga ntchito ndi kusunga, makamaka m'madera omwe ali ndi mavuto azachuma, ndizofunikira kwambiri pantchitoyi.

Malinga ndi a Knapp, a Corps pakadali pano ali ndi mndandanda wodikirira wa achinyamata pafupifupi 1,100.
Thandizo latsopanoli, adatero, lilola bungwe kubweretsa anthu pafupifupi 20 azaka zapakati pa 18 ndi 24 kuti adzalandire maphunziro a nkhalango mtawuni. Adzakhala akudula konkire ndi kumanga zitsime zamitengo, kubzala mitengo 1,000, kusamalira ndi kuthirira mitengo yaing’onoyo, ndi kuchotsa mitengo yamitengo yokhazikika.

“Mzinda wathu ulibe ndalama zogulira mitengo. Tili ndi mpweya wabwino kwambiri mdziko muno ndipo pano tikufunika mitengo yoyeretsa mpweya,” atero a Karen Maroot, wamkulu wa Tree Fresno.
Kuyesetsa kwa Tree Fresno kuthetsa ena mwa mavutowa kwalimbikitsidwa ndi thandizo la $ 130,000 la ARRA kuti abzale mitengo ya 300 ndikupereka maphunziro a chisamaliro chamtengo kwa anthu okhala m'mudzi wa Tarpey, malo osagwirizana ndi Fresno County Island. Thandizoli lithandiza bungwe kukhalabe ndi maudindo atatu ndipo limadalira kwambiri anthu odzipereka ammudzi. Zipangizo zofikira anthu zidzaperekedwa mu Chingerezi, Chisipanishi ndi Chihmong, zilankhulo zoimiridwa mdera la Tarpey Village.
Maroot adati thandizoli lithandiza kwambiri popereka mitengo yathanzi yomwe ikufunika kuti ilowe m'malo mwa mitengo ya Modesto Ash yokalamba komanso yowola m'derali. Koma ndi mbali yomanga midzi ya polojekitiyi - anthu omwe akugwira nawo ntchito yopititsa patsogolo dera lawo - ndizosangalatsa kwambiri, adatero.
