In July 2020, the Long Beach City Council approved a spending plan for the City’s Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds, which allocated $500,000 in funding to support recreation and enrichment programs for youth. The Virtual Out-of-School program has been made possible through this funding.
