"I love giving back. This is my heart," Flores said. "Any way I can help propel this thing forward and help other people overcome their stuff, I'm there."
Organizations like the one Flores now works for could collectively lose tens of millions of dollars annually if Proposition 36 passes this November, according to a fiscal estimate from the Legislative Analyst's Office.
The measure would likely increase court costs, the LAO said, cutting into the grant programs that fund services for crime victims, formerly incarcerated people and at-risk youth.
More than half a billion dollars has so far been made available to local government agencies, nonprofits, school districts and victim services through Proposition 47.
