09/~4/99 <br /> <br />TU~ 10:49 ~A~ 1704939~401 <br /> <br />DSS <br /> <br />1~003 <br /> <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUB.CT: <br /> <br />Jim Cook, Social Services Dirq~tor~r <br />9-34-99 - ( <br />Grant Application for Employment ~d Training Program <br /> <br /> I am writing to request that the Board of Commissioners approve, at its 9-20-99 <br />meeting, the Department's application for a 100% federal-funded grant to provide <br />contracted employment and training services to certain unemployed Food Stamp Prom~n <br />recipients. <br /> <br /> We submitted an application 9-13-99, in advance of the 9-15-99 deadline given <br />by the State, stipulating that the application was subject to the approval of the Board of <br />Commissioners. <br /> <br /> The grant program is intended to demonstrate effective methods of moving Food <br />Stamp Program recipients classified as "ABAWDS" (for able bodied adults without <br />dependants) into the labor force. We have at any point in time about 100 of these <br />recipients. Each month, due to time limits for recipients and other factors, about 30 of <br />these adults cycle on and offthe Food Stamp Program, so that as many as 360 persons <br />may be seen in a year's time. These persons are unemployed or marginally employed: <br />They have a variety of barriers to employment ranging from inadequate education, to <br />limitations in life skills, to transportation problems. The program we have proposed <br />would follow model used in the successful JOBS for Dads Program we operated for <br />several years. Purchased social work and employment services together with provision <br />of training, tools, work clothes, and other appropriate resources as needed would be <br />utilized in the program. We have requested a total of $89,000 under this program. <br /> <br />This is a population we believe it would be good to work with in this way. <br /> <br />Please advise me of any additional information that may be needed. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Bepmx~ment of Social Services <br /> <br /> <br />
