Kwiinzame zokudala imisebenzi, ukuphucula okusingqongileyo kunye nokuvuselela uqoqosho, urhulumente wobumbano ngoDisemba wawonga iCalifornia ReLeaf ngezigidi ezi-6 zeerandi kwingxowa-mali ye-American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Inkxaso-mali ye-ARRA iya kuvumela iCarlifonia ReLeaf ukuba isasaze izibonelelo kwiiprojekthi ezili-17 zamahlathi asezidolophini kulo lonke ilizwe, ukutyala imithi engaphezu kwama-23,000, ukudala okanye ukugcina imisebenzi ekufutshane nama-200, kunye nokubonelela ngoqeqesho lwemisebenzi kuninzi lwabantu abatsha kule minyaka mibini izayo.
Inkxaso-mali ye-ARRA inoxanduva lwemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo eluhlaza kubandakanya imisebenzi kufakelo lwepaneli yelanga, uthutho olulolunye, ukucinywa komlilo, kunye nokunye. Isibonelelo seLeaf saseCalifornia sikhethekile kuba sibonelela ngemisebenzi ngokutyala nokugcina imithi yasezidolophini.
Ukudalwa kwemisebenzi kunye nokugcinwa, ngakumbi kwiindawo ezicinezelekileyo ngokwezoqoqosho, yeyona nto iphambili ekugxilwe kuyo kwiiprojekthi.
“Ezi dollar zenza umahluko omkhulu,” utshilo uSandy Macias, umphathi wenkqubo yeNdawo yaseDolophini nakwizaHlathi zoLuntu kwi-US Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region. “Ngenene badala imisebenzi kwaye kukho intaphane yeenzuzo ezivela kumahlathi asezidolophini.”
I-California ReLeaf ye-6 yezigidi zeedola yinxenye nje encinci ye-1.15 yeebhiliyoni zeedola iNkonzo yeHlathi egunyaziswe ukuba isasazwe, kodwa abameli banethemba lokuba oko kubonisa utshintsho kwindlela abantu abajonga ngayo amahlathi asezidolophini.
“Ndiyathemba ukuba esi sibonelelo kunye nezinye ezifana nazo ziya kuphakamisa ukubonakala kwamahlathi asezidolophini,” utshilo uMartha Ozonoff, umlawuli olawulayo waseCalifornia ReLeaf.
Ngelixa isibonelelo siyinxalenye yomzamo omkhulu womanyano, abantu baseCalifornia baya kuziva uncedo olukhawulezileyo lwemisebenzi kunye nekhenopi yomthi esempilweni kwindawo yabo, wongeze watsho.
"Imithi ayityalwanga kwinqanaba le-federal, ityalwe kwinqanaba lengingqi kwaye isibonelelo sethu sincedisa ukuguqula uluntu ngendlela yokwenene," kusho u-Ozonoff.
Enye imfuneko ebalulekileyo yenkxaso-mali ye-ARRA yayikukuba iiprojekthi zibe "zilungile ngofosholo," ukuze kudalwe imisebenzi ngokukhawuleza. Omnye umzekelo walapho yenzeka khona oko kuseLos Angeles, apho iLos Angeles Conservation Corps sele isebenzisa isibonelelo sayo seedola ezingama-500,000 ukugaya nokuqeqesha abantu abatsha ukutyala nokukhathalela imithi eLos Angeles
ubumelwane. Iprojekthi igxile kuMazantsi nakuMbindi weLos Angeles, apho uninzi lwamalungu eCorps abiza ikhaya.
“Sijolise kwezona ndawo zineyona ndawo iphantsi kwaye zinezinga eliphezulu lentswela-ngqesho, amanqanaba entlupheko kunye nabayeka isikolo kumabanga aphakamileyo ¬¬– ayimangalisi into yokuba, ziyangqamana,” utshilo uDan Knapp, usekela mlawuli we-LA Conservation Corps.
I-LA Conservation Corps sele ineminyaka ibonelela ngoqeqesho lomsebenzi kulutsha olusemngciphekweni kunye nabantu abadala abancinci, ibaxhobisa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zezakhono zomsebenzi. Malunga nama-300 amadoda nabasetyhini abangena kwiCorps ngonyaka ngamnye, bengafumani qeqesho lomsebenzi kuphela, kodwa nezakhono zobomi, imfundo, kunye noncedo lokubekwa kwemisebenzi. NgokukaKnapp, iCorps okwangoku inoluhlu lokulinda lwabantu abancinci abakwi-1,100.
Esi sibonelelo sitsha, uthe, sizakuvumela lo mbutho ukuba ungenise abantu abamalunga namashumi amabini abaphakathi kweminyaka eyi-20 nama-18 ukuze bafumane uqeqesho lwamahlathi ezidolophini. Baza kugawula ikhonkile kwaye bakhe amaqula emithi, batyale imithi eyi-24, babonelele ngolondolozo namanzi kwimithi emitsha, kwaye basuse izithintelo kwimithi esele ikho.
Iprojekthi ye-LA Conservation Corps iphakathi kwezona zibonelelo zinkulu zeCalifornia ReLeaf. Kodwa nezibonelelo ezincinci, njengezo zanikwa i-Tree Fresno, zinempembelelo enkulu kuluntu oluthwaxwe kukudodobala koqoqosho.
“Isixeko sethu asinalo uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwemithi. Sinowona mgangatho womoya umbi esizweni kwaye apha sidinga imithi yokucoca umoya,” utshilo uKaren Maroot, umlawuli olawulayo weTree Fresno.
Iinzame ze-Tree Fresno zokulungisa ezinye zezi ngxaki zinyuswe ngesibonelelo se-ARRA ye-130,000 yokutyala imithi ye-300 kunye nokubonelela ngemfundo yokunakekelwa kwemithi kubahlali baseTarpey Village, indawo engabandakanywayo yeFresno County Island. Inkxaso-mali iya kunceda umbutho ugcine izikhundla ezithathu kwaye uthembele kakhulu ekubandakanyeni amavolontiya asekuhlaleni. Izixhobo zokufikelela ziya kubonelelwa ngesiNgesi, iSpanish nesiHmong, iilwimi ezimelwe kwindawo yaseTarpey Village.
UMaroot uthe esi sibonelelo siza kuya kude ekuboneleleni ngemithi esempilweni efunekayo ukuze ithathe indawo yemithi yeModesto Ash ebolileyo kule ndawo. Kodwa ngumba wokwakha uluntu weprojekthi - abahlali bathatha indima ebonakalayo ekuphuculeni ubumelwane babo - eyona nto inika umdla kakhulu, utshilo.
“Abahlali bayavuya,” utshilo. “Banombulelo kakhulu ngeli thuba.”
