Lourin Hubbard’s city-level Green Jobs Plan protects Fresno’s residents from exposure to harmful chemicals and stands to create Green jobs and workforce development.

Sustainable efforts call for a large influx of workers. This, in turn, brings more opportunities for quality jobs with high wages, allowing people to support their families comfortably.

Hubbard’s administration would bring a comprehensive urban development plan that builds sustainable neighborhoods from the ground up. The development would ensure sustainable construction, housing, walkability, transportation efficiency, renewable energy harvesting, and local food production.

We must eliminate poverty in Fresno. Lourin will work to secure funding from private and public organizations to fund a UBI pilot program for Fresno. About 10,000 Fresno residents living below the poverty line will receive a $500 check monthly for a year. Fresno will invest in their long-term prosperity, giving them the foundation they need to live healthily and sustainably.

Lourin Hubbard recognizes that Fresno must urgently increase its affordable housing supply to provide stability to its residents. With over 3,000 individuals experiencing homelessness or living in overcrowded homes, Lourin’s immediate priority is to instill resilience in the community. His administration plans to provide tax subsidies to developers of stores, grocery stores, banks, and churches to build affordable housing, update zoning ordinances for single-family homes to allow for affordable units, and convert vacant city and private buildings into temporary shelters or permanent housing.
