FY 1998-99 <br />Work First/Employment <br />Transportation Assistance <br /> <br />$1 Million Allocation - Cabarrus County Proposal for Services <br /> <br />1. Proposed Service Provider: Cabarms County Department of Social Services <br /> <br />Proposed transitional/Work First and/or general public transportation service to <br />be provided: Through the use of available funds, Cabarms County Department of <br />Social Services will continue to provide transportation services to applicants in order <br />to provide the opportunity to become employed as quickly as possible. With our <br />efforts to have applicants register for 1~t Stop, we have identified a need to provide <br />ongoing transportation to enable and enhance employment from the point of' <br />application through the beginning of'transitional benefits. This increases our <br />traditional spending for approximately two (2) months. This allocation would allow <br />us to meet this need and assist welfare recipients in overcoming their transportation <br />barrier fi.om the time that they apply for public assistance. With the low <br />unemployment rate in Cabarrus County, we should be able to decrease the number of <br />months a person receives public assistance by providing transportation fi.om the point <br />of entry. By continuing transportation for thirty (30) days at~er cash assistance is <br />terminated, recipients will have time to plan for that point in time when they will not <br />be able to avail themselves of this benefit. <br /> <br />Amount of funds requested: $14,577.00 <br /> <br />4. Marketing/Advertising: Not applicable <br /> <br />5. Proposed sub-county allocation: None <br /> <br />County Contact: Ms. Fran C.
