Our Impact

The Kern Coalition was formed to help secure state investments by responding to grant opportunities provided by the CommunityEconomic Resilience Fund (now known as California Jobs First). The Coalition is eligible to apply for up to $14 million in state funding through the end of the program in September 2026.Funding secured through California Jobs First has already helped establish the Kern Regional Jobs First Catalyst Fund to connect the dots between the planning and implementation of economic development projects.This funding enables Kern County to develop ready-to-go projects that can compete for funding opportunities from federal, state, and private sources.
