Emzamweni wokudala amathuba emisebenzi, ukuthuthukisa indawo ezungezile nokukhuthaza umnotho, uhulumeni wobumbano ngoDisemba uklomelise iCalifornia ReLeaf u-$6 million ezimalini ze-American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Uxhaso lwe-ARRA luzovumela i-California ReLeaf ukuthi isabalalise izibonelelo kumaphrojekthi amahlathi asemadolobheni angu-17 kuso sonke isifunda, itshale izihlahla ezingaphezu kuka-23,000, idale noma igcine imisebenzi ecela ku-200, futhi inikeze ukuqeqeshwa kwemisebenzi kubantu abaningi abasha eminyakeni emibili ezayo.
Uxhaso lwe-ARRA lube nesibopho semisebenzi ehlukahlukene eluhlaza okubandakanya imisebenzi yokufaka amaphaneli elanga, ezinye izinto zokuhamba, ukucisha umlilo, nokunye. Isibonelelo se-California ReLeaf sihlukile ngoba sihlinzeka ngemisebenzi ngokutshala nokunakekela izihlahla zasemadolobheni.
Ukwakhiwa nokugcinwa kwamathuba emisebenzi, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezicindezelekile ngokomnotho, yikona okugxilwe kakhulu kumaphrojekthi.
"Lawa madola enza umehluko omkhulu," kusho uSandy Macias, umphathi wohlelo lwe-Urban and Community Forestry e-US Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region. "Impela badala amathuba emisebenzi futhi kunenqwaba yezinzuzo ezivela emahlathini asemadolobheni."
I-California ReLeaf's $6 million iyingxenye encane ka-$1.15 billion Isevisi Yehlathi eyagunyazwa ukuba isabalalise, kodwa abameli banethemba lokuthi kusho ukushintsha endleleni abantu ababuka ngayo amahlathi asemadolobheni.
"Ngiyethemba ukuthi lesi sibonelelo kanye nezinye ezifana naso zizophakamisa ukubonakala kwamahlathi asemadolobheni," kusho u-Martha Ozonoff, umqondisi omkhulu we-California ReLeaf.
Yize lesi sibonelelo siyingxenye yomzamo omkhulu wenhlangano, abantu baseCalifornia bazozizwa izinzuzo ezisheshayo zemisebenzi kanye nombhede onempilo wesihlahla ezindaweni zabo, wengeza.
"Izihlahla azitshalwa ezingeni likahulumeni, zitshalwa ezingeni lendawo futhi imali yethu yesibonelelo isiza ukuguqula imiphakathi ngendlela engokoqobo," kusho u-Ozonoff.
Isidingo esisodwa esibalulekile soxhaso lwe-ARRA kwakuwukuthi amaphrojekthi abe "alungele ifosholo," ngakho imisebenzi idaleka ngokushesha. Isibonelo esisodwa salapho lokho kwenzeka khona kuse-Los Angeles, lapho i-Los Angeles Conservation Corps isivele isebenzisa imali yayo engu-$500,000 ukuze iqashe futhi iqeqeshe abantu abasha ukuba batshale futhi banakekele izihlahla e-Los Angeles' edinga kakhulu.
omakhelwane. Le phrojekthi igxile eNingizimu ne-Central Los Angeles, lapho amalungu amaningi e-Corps ebiza ekhaya.
"Siqondise izindawo ezine-canopy ephansi kakhulu futhi ezinezinga eliphezulu labantu abangasebenzi, amazinga obumpofu kanye nabashiya esikoleni samabanga aphezulu ¬¬¬– akumangazi ukuthi kuhambisana," kusho u-Dan Knapp, isekela lomqondisi we-LA Conservation Corps.
I-LA Conservation Corps sekuyiminyaka ihlinzeka ngokuqeqeshwa komsebenzi entsheni esengozini kanye nabantu abadala abasebasha, ibahlomisa ngamakhono ahlukahlukene okusebenza ngezandla. Cishe amadoda nabesifazane abangu-300 bangena e-Corps unyaka ngamunye, bengatholi nje kuphela ukuqeqeshwa komsebenzi, kodwa futhi namakhono okuphila, imfundo, nosizo lokuqashwa. Ngokuka-Knapp, i-Corps njengamanje inohlu lwabalindile lwentsha elinganiselwa ku-1,100.
Lolu xhaso olusha uthe, luzovumela le nhlangano ukuthi ilethe abantu ababalelwa ku-20 abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-18 no-24 ukuze bathole ukuqeqeshwa kwezamahlathi emadolobheni. Bazobe begawula ukhonkolo bakha nemithombo yezihlahla, batshale izihlahla eziyinkulungwane, bahlinzeke ngesondlo namanzi ezihlahleni ezisencane, basuse nezigxobo ezihlahleni esezikhulile.
Iphrojekthi ye-LA Conservation Corps iphakathi kwezibonelelo ezinkulu ze-California ReLeaf. Kodwa ngisho nezibonelelo ezincane, njengalezo ezinikezwe i-Tree Fresno, zinomthelela omkhulu emiphakathini ekhahlanyezwe kanzima ukwehla komnotho.
“Idolobha lethu alinaso isabelomali sezihlahla. Sinezinga lomoya elibi kakhulu esizweni futhi lapha sidinga kakhulu izihlahla zokuhlanza umoya,” kusho uKaren Maroot, umqondisi omkhulu weTree Fresno.
Imizamo ye-Tree Fresno yokulungisa ezinye zalezi zinkinga iye yathuthukiswa ngesibonelelo sika-$130,000 se-ARRA sokutshala izihlahla ezingu-300 nokuhlinzeka ngemfundo yokunakekelwa kwezihlahla kubahlali baseTarpey Village, indawo engahlanganisiwe yaseFresno County Island. Uxhaso luzosiza inhlangano ukuthi igcine izikhundla ezintathu futhi ithembele kakhulu ekubandakanyeni amavolontiya omphakathi. Izinsiza zokufinyelela zizonikezwa ngesiNgisi, iSpanishi nesi-Hmong, izilimi ezimelwe endaweni yaseTarpey Village.
UMaroot uthe lolu xhaso luzohamba ibanga elide ekuhlinzekeni ngezihlahla ezinempilo ezidingeka kakhulu esikhundleni sezaguga nezibolayo zeModesto Ash endaweni. Kodwa wuhlangothi lokwakhiwa komphakathi lwephrojekthi - izakhamuzi ezibamba iqhaza elibonakalayo ekuthuthukiseni indawo ezihlala kuyo - okujabulisa kakhulu, esho.
“Izakhamuzi zijabulile,” kusho yena. "Babonga kakhulu ngaleli thuba."
