Contracted on-site local ESC staff provide First Stop for applicants. Two co-located <br />ESC staff persons provide First Stop as well as a full spectnnu of employment <br />assistance to anyone coming into the agency and seeking assistance. DSS reimburses <br />ESC for the full salaries of these two staff persons. (A copy of the contract between <br />DSS and ESC is attached at the end of the Plan) <br /> <br />D. Community Service Programs/Work Experience <br /> <br />The Community Service Program or Community Work Experience will be unpaid <br />work experience that is used to provide work activities for those participating, but <br />unable to obtain full-time employment for any reason. If they have barriers that <br />prevent them from securing a job, or if they are working part-time only, the <br />Community Service Program will benefit them, by keeping them active, and in a <br />work-type mode, as well as help them gain needed employment and employment- <br />related skills. In addition to public and private non-profit agencies, through waivers <br />the department will expand this program into the private for profit sector, which can <br />include day care centers, nursing homes, and rest homes. Potential Community <br />Service Sites that the department presently has are as follows: <br /> <br />1. ' Cabarms County DSS <br />2. Senior Centers (Cabarrus County and Karmapotis) <br />3. Cabarrus County Landfill <br />4. Public Schools (Cabarms County and Kannapolis) <br />5. Public Libraries <br />6. Concord Housing Department <br />7. Child Day Care Centers <br />8. Cabarms County General Services <br /> <br />E. Child Care, Transportation, and Substance Abuse Services <br /> <br />The family needs for childcare, transportation, and the problem of substance abuse <br />can be the most devastatifig challenges and detriments to employment. It is our hope <br />to address these needs in the coming year to best ensure that problems facing those <br />entering employment are minimized. <br /> <br />Child Care: In recent years, we have had access to sufficient amounts of subsidy <br />and Smart Start funds to avoid anyone not being able to obtain or maintain <br />employment due to a lack of child care. Recent changes in the state subsidy <br />systems and increased market rates make it somewhat likely that at some time <br />during the coming fiscal years we will have a waiting list for child care. It is our <br />hope, and we are planning to prioritize 'the list so that CPS is exempted, and Work <br />First Employment participants are the top priority group. We are working with <br />the local Partnership for Children to identify more subsidy, and have been in <br />contact with the local ESC manager to identify employers who may be receptive, <br /> <br /> <br />
