This award-winning progr~_m helped absent parents receive the <br />necessary employability skills, training, and employment'assistance to beck)me <br />productive citizens in the community and contribute to their children's well being. <br />However, funding cuts at the national and state level did not allow the Centralina WDB <br />to fund the program for the fiscal year beginnin8 Suly I, 1999. Your agency's application <br />for funding will help to continue service to the ABAWD population in the county. <br /> <br />The board's role as the leader in workforce development in our resion extends to all <br />individuals and businesses. Our communities need all able-bodied individuals to be a pan <br />of the labor force. We believe the application that DSS is preparing can help to make <br />continuation of service to this important group of individuals a reality. <br /> <br />If there is anything that the C~tr~_lirm WDB or its staffcan do to help DSS with the grant <br />application, please do not hesitate to contact me at (704) 788-3522 or David Hollars, <br />Centralina WDB Direotor at (704) 348-2717.
