In October <br />2004 the City received funding for the two Weed and Seed sites to provide <br />services in the areas of law enforcement, community policing, prevention, <br />intervention and treatment and neighborhood restoration. <br />The City of Santa Ana contracted with several Weed and Seed partners to <br />assist with service delivery. One of these partners is Families Together <br />of Orange County - Lyon Street Parent Center. Under the current <br />agreement, the Center is designated as a safe haven site and is providing <br />a reading readiness/school readiness program for youth four and five years <br />of age. Currently, the Center has over 20 children on the waiting list. <br />At its meeting on January 24, 2006, the Weed and Seed Steering Committee <br />recommended to increase the contract amount by $1,800 to allow the <br />Families Together of Orange County to continue to provide services to <br />those children. <br />25F-1 <br />
