R2R began as a $3.2 million pilot program, expanding to an over $38 million multi-year initiative serving 49 grantee organizations and 25,594 youth. In the midst of a global pandemic and racial-justice uprising, the importance of innovative reinvestment strategies to support the development of young people cannot be overstated. R2R proved its ability to be an equitable, efficient, and responsive vehicle for distributing public dollars, growing the organizational capacity of youth service providers, and their abilities to service L.A. County’s high needs youth. Additionally, 34 (or 69%) of R2R grantee organizations were BIPOC-led – a significant indication of race equity and community responsiveness given the disproportionate rates of Black and Brown youth that comprise L.A. County’s juvenile justice system.
