if the need arises, to contribute matching subsidy funds to assist with child care for employment. Transportation: In Cabarms County, transportation has consistently been a barrier to steady employment. We have a human services van system, but they work only first shift and not on weekends, and will not do demand/response transportation, which in many cases is needed for job seekers. Taxis supplement transportation here, and in fact, provide the bulk of the employment transportation. This is because they are more reliable, and tend to get employed clients to the job on time. We provide some reimbursement for mileage, when the client has a vehicle. Presently, we are in the process of starting a Cars for Work Program here, in order to assist clients in need of a car, the ability to obtain one. We are presently working with an outside volunteer to coordinate, and three dealerships to donate used cars. We are also investigating the use of retired county vehicles for this. All cars will be assessed by a mechanic for road worthiness. In addition, we are exploring other means of coordinating transportation, particularly to Concord Mills Mall, near Mecklenburg County. One method would be to supply feeder transportation to pick-up sites around the county where a private bus line, the Concord Express runs regularly to the mall. We will also discuss with mall management the possibility of assistance with the cost, in exchange for our assistance in supplying employees. Substance Abuse Services: Substance abuse screenings are done on all applicants for Work First who are not diverted from applying. In instances where screenings indicate that there is substance abuse, the intake social worker contacts Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare and sets up the initial appointment, while the client is present. Clients will be screened at every review by a Human Resource Placement Specialist. F. Domestic Violence Services At the present time, Cabamas County has been working to reach an agreement for domestic violence services. The local Mental Health Agency has declined, and we are talking with the local battered women's shelter, Community Victims Assistance Network (CVAN) and United Family Services (UFS) to be a provider. Using the state start up funding of $30,000.00, it is planned that UFS will work with Work First families identified as victims of domestic violence, and that families who fall under the 200% category will be referred to CVAN. Clients will be screened at each review by a social worker. We will submit the MOU when it is agreed upon and signed bt' both parties. G. Utilization of Public and Private Resources to Move Families to Self-Sufficiency Cabarrus County plans to utilize the Centralina Workforce Development Board to assist in moving families to self-sufficiency. The Chairman and Director of the WDB both sit on the Work First Planning Committee, and the Program Administrator of the Family Services Division is a member of the WDB.
