Riverside County has approved a $10 billion budget for the 2025-’26 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The budget, which the board of supervisors passed June 24, is the result of a community outreach program and a series of meetings between county departments, according to a statement on the county’s website.
It includes $2.8 billion for health services, $2.3 billion for public safety, $2 billion for human services and $1.2 billion for public works.
“This is a budget that makes investments that will keep Riverside County a place people want to continue coming to, to live, work, raise their families and enjoy a great quality of life,” said Supervisor V. Manuel Perez, board chairman, in the statement. “It ensures that we have behavioral health services, social services, housing and infrastructure.”
The approved plan also calls for using $73 million from the county’s general fund reserves to balance the budget, according to the statement.
