Mendoza Executive Director Community Development Agency Page 17 of 17 Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act Youth Program Provider Orange County Conservation Corps 2022-2023 EXHIBIT A I. Experience/Qualifications (I page max) Located in Anaheim, California, the Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) was founded in 1993 as a part of the Anaheim anti -gang task force, and serves at -risk youth ages 18-26 years old throughout Orange County, California. OCCC is a 501 (c) (3) and currently has a team of I 1 board members, and 30 full time staff members. Many of OCCC staff are graduates of our program, and continued to give back through leadership and mentor roles. The OCCC mission is: "To serve young, at -risk adults through employment, training and educational programs that build self- sufficiency and benefit the community through conservation driven projects. " OCCC headquarters is open 7-5pm Monday through Thursday and 8-12pm Friday and located off Raymond and Orangethorpe at: 1853 North Raymond Ave., Anaheim CA 92801, with several major public transportation access points, public parking, and bike locks. OCCC also offers Corpsmember pick- up points throughout Santa Ana, Anaheim, Buena Park and surrounding areas as needed. Facilities decor highlight youth success and youth, entering facilities are greeted by Corpsmembers in professional training positions, within a state-of-the-art conservation building. Operational facilities and educational programs are located less than 6 miles away at 6101 S. Dupont Drive, Anaheim CA 92806, in collaboration with the Orange County Department of Education, College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA). OCCC actively administers the Santa Ana WIOA Youth Programs contract. For the past 15 years OCCC has met and/or exceeded all contract measures. OCCC staff continues to deliver services to a majority of out of school youth through WIOA contracts year over year, in a long-standing record of service excellence and contract management. OCCC operates an annual budget of over $5M with major funding provided from the State of California, Anaheim, Santa Ana and OC WIOA, North Orange County Public Safety Task Force, fees for service contracts, and various grants to OCCC. In our 291h year of operation, OCCC provides pathways to skill development resources, employment, training, and educational services to Orange County's hardest -to -reach and neediest segment of our young adult population. In these 29 years, OCCC has provided paid job training program support to over 10,000 opportunity youth and their families by instilling a strong work ethic, developing an individual's self-worth, while providing the necessary experience and job skills to ensure that our young adults become successful candidates in the workforce. No other organization in Orange County provides as many hours of paid work experience —up to 29 hours a week at a minimum of $15.00 per hour. Last year OCCC paid over 103,000 hours to our Corpsmembers and over 500,000 hours during the past 5 years. 2. Proposed Program (1 page max) Youth will enroll in the Orange County Conservation Corps' program for services in the following (5) types of measurable skill gains: educational skill advancement, occupational skill training, high school diploma services, individualized paid job training, and post -secondary educational achievement. Each youth enrolled will develop an individual service strategy (ISS) in direct coordination with an OCCC Program Specialist. The timeline of services will consist of up to 12 months' direct service. Each participant will also be eligible for 12-months post exit follow up services. Youth services are designed to overcome significant barriers not otherwise met within the traditional community assessment of needs. OCCC has extensive history serving youth participants with severe barriers. Services include but are not limited to: recruitment, screening, assessment and linkages, case management, ISS, orientation, enrollment, paid job training, certifications, competitive employment, educational services, supportive services, skill attainment, and service provisions with individualized target outcomes for each participant. Corpsmembers approach the program in 4-phases of leadership development. Upon successful completion of comprehensive service goals, youth experience transformational personal growth, post -secondary educational gains, and increased wages through competitive employment. To assist Corpsmembers in overcoming the barriers and complete the WIOA program successfully, the OCCC Program Specialist will identify community partnerships and resources which are available and can provide appropriate service to the participant, i.e. Anaheim Housing Authority, Project Kinship (Conviction Sentence Reduction), Volunteers of America, Department of Child Support Services, OC Head Start (Child Care), Drug and Alcohol treatment programs, community health care services, School's First Outreach Team (Financial Literacy), Anaheim Workforce Center, CalWORKS, DMV, etc). Support services are critical to help ensure Corpsmembers are able to obtain and maintain employment Post -Corp. These include bus passes, gas cards, housing assistance, childcare assistance and more. The OCCC program design is comprehensive and coordinates services for at -risk youth through extensive network of community partners who provide services as in -kind support. • Program Specialist will be responsible for coordinating outside support services with local agencies and community partners • Meetings with collaborating agencies will be scheduled monthly to review and coordinate support services with partnering agencies • Semi-monthly Program Department meetings will include community partner presentations The OCCC's Program Specialist, in coordination with the WIOA participant, are mentors to our youth. Program Specialist will develop the youth's ISS inclusive of assessment results, work readiness evaluation, ONET and counseling and guidance for personal needs and potential barriers to success. Case managers will review Individual Educational Plans (IEP), help in requesting previous transcripts from high schools, and conduct work readiness pre and post-tests. Corpsmembers receive extensive training in "Green" technologies and projects that address critical state needs, including natural resources and land management, energy and climate Programs, emergency response and disaster relief, recycling and land diversion programs, and active transportation development. 3. Population (2 pages max) 87% of youth served at OCCC identify as Hispanic or Latin American (93 % identify as a minority). 85% of youth served qualify for free and reduced lunch, living at or below the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Federal Poverty Level. Nearly all youth identify as being at risk of becoming homeless and/or experienced homeless. This trend continues to rise, as in 2017-18, 15% of youth entering OCCC programs identified as homeless. Nearly all youth entering programs live with a disability or a significant barrier As part of this program, 23 youth will be enrolled by December 31, 2022. Our program is directed to serve youth ages 18-26. The youth served are primarily high school dropouts (out -of -school youth), who are or have been homeless and/or runaways, have been in foster care, parenting or pregnant youth, who could have mental or physical challenges, who are court involved, on probation, on informal probation, and who have incarcerated parents. Aside from the WIOA Youth eligibility requirements, youth do not need any additional requirements. Depending on a youth's barrier(s), OCCC may help our youth obtain high school diploma or a copy of their diploma, a letter from the foster care system, a birth certificate of their child or children, or a letter from one's health provider stating one's health condition. Otherwise, OCCC does not require any additional documents for enrollment aside from the WIOA Youth eligibility requirements. OCCC has successfully recruited youth into the Santa Ana WIOA program for the past 15 years. We recently completed 100% enrollment for the 2021-2022 program. OCCC uses a 15-point approach to recruit youth. OCCC uses several tools specifically targeted to "opportunity" youth, with a priority for out of school youth. The 15-point approach is as follows: 1. Collaboration with the Santa Ana WORK center, Anaheim Jobs and other Orange County one -stop centers. OCCC posts flyers at these locations, and works directly with Evelyn Lenz to send out the OCCC recruitment flyer throughout her network of organizations. 2. OCCC is active at job fairs throughout the year, include job fairs specifically targeted to youth through partnerships with Social Services, OCREP, Orangewood, and work centers. 3. Onsite recruitments with our Family Resource Centers. 4. Social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram recruitment postings and engagement. 5. Craigslist and various other career website job postings. 6. Collaboration with the Orange County Department of Education, as part of the Career and College Preparatory Academy, in posting OCCC job recruitments throughout the 22 locations, on the Department of Education website, and at the OCCC high school campus. Department of Education teachers and staff also help OCCC in enrolling students in both educational and workforce training programs. 7. Outreach to previous high school dropouts and youth that stopped the enrollment process to re-engage in services and follow-up care. 8. Recruitment partnerships throughout our network of various non -profits organizations, and for -profit organizations, as we are always hiring youth. 9. Presentations directly to Youth Guidance Center (YGC), Social Services Agency (SSA), and Health Care Agency (HCA), as well as follow up services with case managers, probation officers, and staff to ensure successful linkage and collaboration of care. 10. Outreach to local high school administrative departments and counselors to successfully transition traditional high school students who are becoming dropouts into a continuing educational program such as the on -site charter school, (CCPA) at OCCC. 11. OCCC recruitment flyer. We send it out to all of our community partners to let everyone know we are hiring youth 18-26, immediately. 12. We reserve booths at local Swap meets, flea markets and other local business events to recruit youth. 13. Collaboration with the OCREP in the annual job fair, employment committee, and other ways to establish working partnerships with the community to provide recruitment. 14. Street signs, walk-ins, word of mouth, and siblings of Corpsmembers. 15. Customer Service and follow-up services. Customer service is a major part of our recruitment efforts. We so often work with youth who have experienced significant trauma, experience stigmas, who have been treated poorly by previous employers within the completive employment market. Anxiety to a new place is often a major barrier. OCCC wants each person engaged with OCCC to feel comfortable, welcomed and excited to be joining OCCC. Therefore, we take every extra effort in making each person entering our facility feel valued. Customer services includes offering a drink and snacks by intake counselors, taking time to explain the process, and to listen to the applicant's experience. Our front desk staff including Corpsmembers in professional training positions, as we understand youth often can relate better and feel more comfortable with youth their own age. We do not leave anything to chance. If a young person can enroll in the program, qualifies and is an ideal candidate, there is always going to be significant barrier(s) due to their low-income situation. Not only do we encourage follow-up calls, but we also call to check in on youth enrollment status. Our goals is to meet that need by going above and beyond. To meet that person's needs in taking this step forward. This customer service looks different for everyone entering our building, but the idea is that we will meet each person where they are in their personal and professional development. These 15-points to recruitment have successfully allowed OCCC to continue to meet each program's enrollment needs. OCCC successfully complete the past 15 years of enrollment with the Santa Ana WIOA program by developing this model. The OCCC team meets quarterly to further develop this model, as to always seek to expand our services throughout the community. This approach will continue to be the model for enrolling all 23 youth into the Santa Ana WIOA program by the December 31", 2022 deadline. Included in Attachment C is our letter of support from Lorri Guy, Program Manager for the North Orange County Continuing Education (NOCE) Workability Program. NOCE collaborates in the care of youth to provide referrals to the OCCC programs. Further, Valerie Brauks, Orange County Director of Community Services with the Children's Bureau offers an additional letter of support in referring youth to OCCC programs. 4. Assessment (1 page max) OCCC programs explicitly meet the needs of youth with significant barriers including low-income barriers, gang involvement, drug use, and domestic violence. Once a Santa Ana resident youth (or homeless youth) enters facilities, the screening, assessment and linkages process takes place with full-time Santa Ana WIOA Program Specialist Mr. Darin Garcia as follows: 1. Prospective participant completes and submits the OCCC application. The Program Specialist determines eligibility for the Santa Ana WIOA Youth Program. 2. Topics discussed during the assessment process are as follows: eligibility requirements for program services; what each youth expects upon arrival; an overview of the program mission; expected results/outcomes (employment, obtaining credentials, higher education attainment) and a description of both the youth's and case managers' responsibilities. 3. During the assessment process, the Program Specialist has the opportunity to discuss important issues in detail and identify youth's individual goals. Program Specialist conducts an interview using an OCCC 5-page questionnaire (attached in W-additional attachments section of RFP) to assesses over 50-points upon entry into programs. 4. Once the youth is deemed eligible to be enrolled in the WIOA youth program, registration in CalJobs and selective services is verified. If youth is not enrolled in CalJobs or selective services, Program Specialist assists in registration as necessary. The youth completes an Individual Service Strategy (ISS); which allows the youth to identify their interests and goals, skills and abilities and personal characteristics. Youth then administered the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE) pre -test in literacy and numeracy skills. According to the 2012 Anaheim Youth Services Assessment the term "at risk" is widely used when referring to youth who may be at risk of "lifelong disadvantage". The assessment found "youth are at risk due to a number of challenges that have the potential to keep there from achieving success in their lives. The top four risk outcomes identified through this assessment process, including poverty, gang activity, school dropout, and drug use". OCCC recruits and serves to these barriers. OCCC is the type of program needed to help youth overcome these barriers. OCCC hires homeless youth; OCCC hires youth living in deep poverty; OCCC is felony -friendly. OCCC provides a safe haven from gang activity and gang -pressure. OCCC supports youth living with severe mental health, disabilities, addiction(s) and abuse, dual diagnosis, and other conditions; OCCC graduates youth who have dropped out of traditional K-12 educational tracks. OCCC reframe barriers as potential strengths, building one's resistance. OCCC supports youth seeking to escape domestic violence. While OCCC recruitment efforts target all youth of Santa Ana, the majority of youth entering programs continue to live in Santa Ana's lowest income, socio-economically restricted neighborhoods, with active gang recruitment, and drug abuse. OCCC recruits and serves youth with the most significant barriers, meeting or exceeding the out -of -school recruitment numbers every year over the past 13 years for the Santa Ana WIOA Youth Program. OCCC staff provide exceptional customer service to complete the assessment and follow up tasks. Staff go above and beyond. Supportive services are provided, as needed. Staff transport and pick up youth, as needed. Youth gain trust of the OCCC. 5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience (3 pages max) Corpsmembers may remain at the Orange County Conservation Corps for up to two years to "earn... learn... and serve". This gives them the time necessary to develop the skills to enter the workforce. OCCC's program provides an opportunity for participants to earn a living through paid work experience, learn job skills and further their education, while they serve the public by completing conservation projects and services. Corpsmembers who determine to work at OCCC work 29 hours per week, Monday through Thursday, and receive additional training, workshops, mentoring, supportive services and case management upon returning to the campus at 2:30pm. As one of 14 local and state certified conservation corps in California, OCCC belongs to a State association of local conservation corps designated to provide services to our at -risk young adults. The year-round paid job -training work of Corpsmembers help mitigate changing climate impacts through fire fuel reduction, flood protection, water quality, reforestation, habitat restoration, wetlands protection/reparation, wildlife and native species protection, homeless encampment cleanups, bottle/can, tire, E-waste, and oil recycling. All activities support reduction of Green House Gas and a lower -carbon footprint. Many underrepresented young people in Orange County have little to no access to outdoor experiences. This is especially pervasive in the urban areas we serve, among communities of color and poverty. The mission at OCCC is to preserve and protect the environment, as well as provide paid job skills training and career technical education opportunities for young men and women who come from some of the state's most disenfranchised communities or experience homelessness. Corpsmembers participate in programs and projects that address critical state needs, including natural resources and land management, energy and climate Programs, emergency response and disaster relief, recycling and land diversion programs, and active transportation development. As part of youth training, Participants have the option to be placed at Work Experience Site (WEX) and On -the -job -training locations through various multi -year partnerships with OCCC. Our community placement partnership sites including the following sites: Aerofit, Pathways Group, Heavy Equipment College of California, Associated General Contractors of America — Apprenticeship (AGC), Working Wardrobes Thrift shop, PA Commercial Construction, Heritage Museurn, Boys & Girls Club of Brea, Yorba Linda & Placentia, Anaheim Independencia FRC, Community Action Partnership, Monkey Business, Walgreen's — (Santa Ana, Anaheim sites), CVS — (Santa Ana, Anaheim sites), Moxie Glam, Smart & Final, G.O.A.L.S., Costco, Crush Studios, Friendly Center, Anaheim Library, Goodwill Industries, Mesa Cold Storage, Orangethorpe Elementary School, and the Southwest Carpentry Union, as measured by the worksite manager. WEX sites, offered year round, also lead to the opportunity for direct hire employment following the completion of the paid job training experience. Today, several sites continue to employ previous Corpsmembers in WEX who are now Job Coaches, Managers, Drivers, IT Specialist, Administration Assistants, HR Clerks, Warehouse staff, and more within that company. Youth training at WEX sites complete a site agreement, orientation specifically detailing policies, and transitional assistance into competitive employment. OCCC WEX sites offer paid job training in opportunities that include in -demand industries identified in the Orange County Regional Plan including Manufacturing (Aerotec site), Information Technology (Goodwill Industries), Healthcare (Children's Bureau ), and Hospitality/entertainment (Mairiot). We collaborate with the Marriott International serving all of Orange County, in collaboration with Human Resources Manager- Orange County to provide WEX training sites and direct hire within all of the hotels and offices throughout Orange County. Youth receive training in customer service, front desk operations, hospitality, and stewardship. Youth then have an opportunity to gain competitive employment following their training with the Marriot, as well as the Voyage Global Leadership program, including exposure to specialized training of several functions with our global hotel network. Marriott Hotels includes Four Points, Fairfield, Residence Inn, Townsend Place Suites, and Courtyard. Corpsmembers also have an opportunity to join paid and volunteer disaster response assignments, as needed throughout the County and State. Each year certain community needs arise. Currently, Corpsmembers are completing projects in recently burned areas of north Orange County devastated by several wildfires. These projects help remove debris and fire file], clear and restore habitat, and require significant teamwork and coordination with the County staff, City staff, Crew Supervisors, fellow Corpsmembers and community members. Other projects include building emergency sand bags, removing fire fuel from dangerous areas, and cleaning up homeless camps from the Santa Ana Riverbed. Letters of support from the City of Garden Grove's Public Works Facility Manager Ron Meislahn highlighting the efforts of the paid job -training program youth completed. Further Michael J. Byrne, Senior Management Analyst from the City of Irvine's Solid Waste and Recycle Program has provided additional support of the OCCC crews and paid job -training program. Numerous Corpsmembers have gone on to work for City and County Public positions related to environmental efforts, public works, and conservation technologies. OCCC through our on -site partnership with the Orange County Department of Education, College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA) provide STEM training directly to Corpsmembers. Corpsmembers work in teams or "crews" to develop healthy teamwork skills, healthy communication skills, all a part of the STEM Workplace Skills found to be needed by Orange County companies and entrepreneurs (OCSTEM, 2019). Corpsmembers are required to participate in STEM workshop opportunities to prepare students for college readiness, including Common Core life skills, healthy communication skills, and to have the ability to solve problems. CCPA teachers recently completed the following STEM training courses in 2018: (1) two day training on the new California Social Science Framework and how the adopted social Science curriculum coincides with the new framework. (2) half -day training on the adopted English Language Arts curriculum and its online components. (3) staff were trained in the remedial reading program, MAX Scholar, to meet the needs of our students to improve literacy skills. (4) three day training on computer use in education. CCPA Principle Dave Conner provided a letter of support highlighting the partnership with OCCC and CCPA. Each of the 23 OSY completing programs at OCCC, in collaboration with CCPA, is required to meet one-on-one with a CCPA instructor to improve skills, with an emphasis on STEM based practices and training. Each OSY receives a laptop computer to complete coursework, workshops and STEM based skills. CCPA staff enroll OSY students near completion of their high school diploma in community college, with an emphasis "Increase staff and student utilization of technology in instruction and learning as demonstrated by teachers and students incorporating 21 st Century skills of collaboration, communication, problem -solving, creativity, and character development into assignments" —Dave Conner, CCPA Principle, Orange County Department of Education, Division of Alternative Education. OCCC recognizes another major hurdle to competitive employment in Orange County is a driver's license, as nearly 80% of youth entering programs do not have a driver's license. This challenge is especially pervasive for at -risk youth living in low-income neighborhoods. OCCC is currently developing a 3-year plan to develop urban forestry and arboriculture career development in partnership with West Coast Arborists, Orange County Department of Education and the Disneyland Resorts. The project involves tree planting and monitoring within disadvantaged or severely disadvantaged communities, reduction of Greenhouse gas, career development and driver's education. If the grant is awarded through Proposition 68, OCCC plans to provide onsite driver's education to all youth needing a driver's license the OCCC campus. OCCC offers multiple on -site collaborations with postsecondary institutions, directed at post- secondary educational certifications. OCCC collaborated with the North Orange County Regional Consortium for Adult Education (NOCRC), School of Continuing Education, to bring multiple certification programs to the OCCC campus. These courses included basic computer skills certification (Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint), Early Childhood classworlc, IT Certification and other courses. NOCRC provide an on teacher, and cohorts of 12-20 youth completed certification coursework. OCCC also collaborated with Pomona Fairplex and the Water training program to provide on -site Water Technician and Water Distribution California State Certification. OCCC hired an state certified instructor to train cohorts of students to pass the Water Distribution 1 (D1) and 2 (D2) level testing requirements, as well as the Water Technician 1 (T1) and 2 (T2) level certification. The program was also supported by the Orange County Community Foundation, These efforts led to 21 youth participating in the program, youth gaining meaningful employment within the water treatment industry. Field site visits were also taken to various major water treatment facilities throughout the region. OCCC offers multiple on -site collaborations with pre -apprenticeship programs. Associated General Contractors of America — Apprenticeship (AGC) completed on -site presentations, workshops, recruitments, and information session at OCCC. Several Corpsmembers have gone on to complete Journeyman apprenticeships with AGC. OCCC and CCPA have also collaborated with Local 441 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, with the most recent recruitment taking place at the OCCC campus on 1/31/2019 at 3:30pm to all active Corpsmembers (flyer attached to Attachment W). On -site training for Corpsmembers in the conservation paid job training also receive hand tool training skills certification, 4-phase leadership development, workshops, financial literacy, incentives for multiple achievements, food and snacks, hydration flasks, uniforms, boots and safety training skills. Youth receive extensive training in orientation, as part of their on -boarding to the prograin. Staff meet Corpsmembers at the start of their first shift to provide additional support, answer any questions, assist with the time clock, and assist in the assignment of one's Project Supervisor. Santa Ana City Council Member Jose Solorio provided a letter of support of OCCC. 6. Alternative Secondary School Services (3 pages max) The College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA) is an affiliate Charter School to the Orange County Department of Education/Altemative, Community, and Correctional Education Schools and Services (ACCESS). CCPA provides an educational program for those 18-25 years of age that have not yet completed a high school diploma. This program serves the targeted population with an independent -study model of instruction that provides the flexibility and support to work and participate in career training programs. CCPA supports its students in a way that focuses on one of the legislative intents in the Charter Schools Act, which is to "increase learning opportunities for all pupils." Through collaboration with a variety of partners, CCPA's ability to meet the needs of its diverse population is strengthened. The most important partnerships are those formulated between teachers, students, parents, mentors and the community. The dynamics among these groups are critical to the planning, implementing and design of CCPA. Agency and community partners are vital to the academic and personal progress, and meaningful learning experiences for CCPA students. These partnerships provide guest speakers, mentors, field trips, career fairs, job shadowing, project -based learning experiences, internships and community service opportunities. CCPA partners with seven agencies through their federally funded workforce programs. Since its inception, it has impacted the lives of more than 600 young adults by giving them the opportunity to complete their high school graduation requirements, developing an Individualized Education Career Service Plan (IECSP), to connecting them with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners and the Orange County Conservation Corps, who assist them in career exploration and guidance, opportunities for skills training in high demand industries, and leading to a good job along a career pathway or postsecondary education. CCPA opened its doors in the fall of 2018 at the OCCC educational campus, sub -leasing the facility. The majority of our students reside in the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana. The school's ethnicity breakdown consists of 79 percent Hispanic or Latino, 13 percent white, 2 percent African -American, 2 percent Asian, 4 percent multi -ethnic, and gender mix is equal. Sixty-seven percent of our students range in age from 18-20 years old, but also 17 percent of our students are age 23 and 25. The percentage of students classified as English learners is 38 percent, as low income is 92 percent. CCPA teachers have received significant training within STEM and OC STEM, and Common Core. CCPA provides workshops, one-on-one weekly mentoring, and drop -in study times. OCCC students receive a personal laptop rental provided by CCPA. Youth can complete coursework at the campus, with WIFI capacity, or take their laptop computer with them to complete coursework at home or throughout the community. CCPA on -site staff includes Principle Dave Conner, who assists day-to-day operations, retention services, and dropout recovery. CCPA and OCCC collaborate to coordinate services in dropout recovery. Staff consistently weekly case management meetings, specifically targeting "hotspots" to provide appropriate interventions in reconnecting youth to services. Hotspots are considered someone at risk of falling out of services, experience crisis, or other immediate needs. CCPA and OCCC staff have received significant training in provided support to youth in crisis. OCCC staff have the ability to go to the OSY to provided interventions. OCCC staff also call youth, providing mentoring services and counseling support to problem solve issues, provide referrals to address specific needs, as well as provided supportive services to address further barriers. OCCC staff provide pick up points at various locations throughout Santa Ana, Anaheim and Buena Park to help with transportation barriers. OCCC staff link parenting youth to various childcare providers including Orange County Head Start. OCCC supports mental health issues with directly linking youth to the Health Care Agency Behavioral Health Services for intakes and assessments. OCCC refers youth to several domestic violence shelters and hotlines to support young men and woman, provide psychoeducation regarding the "Cycle of Violence" and the negative effects of violence in the household on early childhood development. Program Specialist for OCCC's Anaheim WBD Grant are led by Ms. Veronica Yepez. Ms. Yepez own life experiences include domestic violence, low-income housing and now she possess the skills to help mentor, guide, and counsel youth to succeed in completing program outcomes. Ms. Yepez recently was honored as a guest speaker at the Ruth House of Hope and shared her own survival story from domestic violence. Ms. Yepez has served youth at OCCC for 8 years. Ms. Yepez also has a Bachelor's of Science in Accounting. She is a talented and passionate role model for the young adults, especially those experiencing "hotspots". Ms. Yepez has years of experience in dealing with crisis situations. OCCC and CCPA provide quarterly back to school celebration events, as all the past students are given specific information needed to continue their educational goals. Staff BBQ and often hold icebreaker activities, complete tours and do everything in our power to re-engage youth in educational and employment programs. OCCC Program Manager Susan Soria often collaborates with local organizations, as she recently was able to get the radio station 97.1 to host a back to school event, which was featured on their radio station, and the campus held a friendly staff vs. Corpsmembers basketball game. OCCC holds Youth Advisory monthly meetings to address improvement of services, increased participation of youth in programs, and innovation within the OCCC. Dropout recovery is also addressed in these advisory meetings, in which OCCC youth present ways to better improve retention services. OCCC have raised funds to host a "prom" night, which Working Wardrobes was able to collaborate in donating dresses for the ladies, and suits for the men. The event provided retention services, providing a lot of excitement for the youth who dropped out of school and were never able to attend their own prom. The event was ultimately a success, and featured in the Orange County Register. The Corps job readiness and workforce preparedness training incorporates the SCANS Foundation Skills and the development of effective personal qualities: Basic Skills: Corpsmembers will become competent in reading, writing, mathematics, speaking and listening. Thinking Skills: Corpsmembers will develop the ability to think creatively, to learn, to reason, to make decisions and to solve programs. Personal Qualities and Leadership Skills: Corpsmembers will develop individual responsibility, self-esteem, self -management, self-control, stress management, sociability and integrity through OCCC participation. OCCC collaborates with the local Universities and Colleges to provide internship opportunities. Internships include students completing social work hours, organization development, and counseling psychology. Interns have worked with students in the areas of personal, social - emotional counseling, group therapy, and crisis intervention. Interns also work on connecting youth with connecting students with services, as needed. CCPA hosts an annual Governance Council Network Conference, which CCPA Principle Dave Conners hosts more than 60 community business leaders, school site administrators, community college outreach specialist and community leaders to gather in developing education, career preparation, workforce training, employment and STEM based -best practices. OCDE partner agencies are encouraged to network with employers to gain a better understand of what our community needs are today. CCPA youth are referred for services through this consortium. CCPA and OCCC high school specialize in disability services, including when a student has an IEP. Special accommodations include one on one tutoring and support. OCCC also In the past 5 years, OCCC has graduated nearly 450 youth with a California high school diploma. 7. Preparation for Postsecondary Education and Training (3 pages max) OCCC provides integrated services to "at -risk" or "Opportunity Youth". "Opportunity Youth - sometimes referred to as "disconnected youth" - are defined as people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor working. As of 2015, there are approximately 5.8 million young Americans [1 in 6 youth] who meet the definition of opportunity Youth" (Bridgeland and Milano, 2012). Further, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found adults under age 24 are the fastest growing segment of people experiencing homelessness, and may be at greater risk of homelessness than any other age group. In 2014, 34 /o of people experiencing homelessness were under age 24, according to Housing and Urban Development (HUD, 2012) report. SAMSHA further reports Opportunity Youth are "failing to build an economic foundation for adult independence". In these 29 years, OCCC has provided paid job training program support to over 8,500 Corpsmembers by instilling a strong work ethic, developing an individual's self-worth, while providing the necessary experience and job skills to ensure that our young adults become successful candidates in the workforce. Corpsmembers receive an education, learn professional job skills, take critical steps forward to become an employed and self-sufficient adult; an asset within their families, as asset within their community, an asset for all of California. The Santa Ana WIOA Participant will have the opportunity to earn several certificates of completion and/or accomplishments such as: California High school diploma/GED, Forklift, Chainsaw, Red Cross CPR/First Aid, Safe Serve Food Handlers, California State Guard Card, OSHA-10 hour (emphasized for Construction), and other job training readiness certifications. Each certification is individualized to advance each Participants progress towards their IEP and ISSP overall goals. The OCCC organizational purpose is to empower young adults to become self-sufficient members of their community. The Corps accomplishes this by offering activities and organized instruction targeted toward the educational, professional, and personal development of youth. Some of the common and additional measures to be utilized to evaluate the success of this program will be as follows: • Participants who are unemployed and out of school will become enrolled at the Corps and will successfully complete the OCCC paid work experience assignment, as measured by the Corps Crew Supervisor's work ledger. The work of OCCC's Corpsmembers help mitigate changing climate impacts through fire fuel reduction, flood protection, water quality, reforestation, habitat restoration, wetlands protection/reparation, wildlife and native species protection, homeless encampment cleanups, bottle/can, tire, E-waste, and oil recycling. All activities support reduction of Green House Gas and a lower -carbon footprint. • Participants enrolled in the CCPA school will earn their high school diploma and will successfully co -enroll in post -secondary education as they get close to graduation, as measured by classroom instructors teaching records • Participants will successfully acquire "soft" and "hard" occupational skills training needed to complete their assigned work projects (i.e. disaster response, habitat restoration, construction, recycling, conservation projects, trail building), as measured by the WIOA Program Specialist and the Corps Crew Supervisor's evaluation records. • Participants will successfully improve their basic skills and improve at least two grade levels on a standardized test, as measured by TABE tests and instructor records. • Participants will successfully participate in multiple work and educational leadership experiences, as measured by a list of guest speakers, workshops, field trips, instructor's daily planning, and youth's portfolio. • Participants will successfully apply for and received scholarships for post -secondary instruction, as measured by scholarship awards, post -secondary enrollment. • Participants will successfully demonstrate leadership skills through various crew -based, peer to peer based, and team -based activities, as measured by Crew Supervisor and Program Specialist evaluation notes. • Participants will successfully complete college preparation/financial aid/ apprenticeship training, College enrollment workshops, as measured by Program Specialist evaluation notes. Post -secondary educational opportunities/activities which will be offered to WIOA participants also include: • Earning credits towards and completing their high school diploma • Earning scholarships for post -secondary opportunities • Remediation of basic skills and individual tutoring in academic subjects needed • Accompanying youth to make personal introduction and/or visits to individual offices/departments, community colleges, trade schools, universities • Completing financial aid packages, waivers, grants • On -site Social Workers to work with students in the areas of personal, social -emotional counseling which is greatly needed at our school site. As we approach each OSY personal and professional development from a strength's based individual assessment, OCCC must be able to meet each person where they are in their development. Therefore, we have built an extensive network of partnerships within the Orange County post -secondary educational community, as mentioned in previous sections. Our years of experience have found that there are hundreds of career pathways that lead to a livable wage. We are often working with high school dropouts, and significant amount of time is taken to complete one's high school diploma and graduate. As we get close to graduation, our goal at OCCC is to provide co -concurring enrollment at the community college level. Our team helps with every step along the way to enroll a person in college, including taking tours and completing documents at the campus. FAFSA often requires parent taxes, or a waiver, which OCCC staff assist OSY in completing the entire process. Then our goal is to graduate high school, enroll in the counseling course at the local community college, pick a career pathway, and begin taking general education classes, earn credits, and find one's personal passion. Follow up services we continue to support youth in completing our first classes, enrolling in additional coursework, and helping with additional resources, crisis interventions, supportive services, ongoing emotional mentoring, as well as other follow up services. OCCC have worked in collaboration with the Santa Ana, Fullerton, Cypress, Golden West, Rancho Santiago, and other Community Colleges to support youth in the enrollment of the community college process. We also help youth understand all the specialized training at the community colleges including programs like the Nursing programs, HVAC, Auto -mechanical, and so many other programs, as these are career pathways to a livable wage in Orange County. Another critical tool used at our campus is the benefit of an education. These numbers are highlighted at the campus: "College graduates, on average, earned 56% more than high school grads in 2015, according to data compiled by the Economic Policy Institute. That was up from 51 % in 1999 and is the largest such gap in EPI's figures dating to 1973. Since the Great Recession ended in 2009, college -educated workers have captured most of the new jobs and enjoyed pay gains. Non -college grads, by contrast, have faced dwindling job opportunities and an overall 3% decline in income, EPI's data shows." The OCCC Leadership and Development Team focuses on further skills acquisition. Each youth completes 4-phases of their development, ranked according to leadership components: work readiness, certifications, high school diploma, attendance rate, disciplinary write-ups, S.M.A.R.T. goal attainment, leadership activities engaged in at OCCC, and performance reviews. Each phase is represented by a belt, orange, green, silver and black. Team sports, including basketball and soccer tournaments, all-star games, staff vs. student games, and games against local area Conservation Corps are included in this, "phases process." Youth are encouraged to participate in team activities to bring out the best in their social, emotional, and physical wellness. Annual picnics, holiday party meals, family Christmas and Thanksgiving meals allow for Corpsmember appreciation events, recognition for achievement, and phase advancement. The Laguna Canyon Foundation's Executive Director Hallic Jones has provided a letter of Intent to continue support including educational training for Corpsmembers in conservation, environmental stewardship, and habitat restoration. OCCC and The Laguna Canyon Foundation complete several extensive training programs a year for youth in programs, followed by hands on training in habitat restoration, trail restoration, and natural science (erosion, water science, native vs non-native). Josh Volp, Director of Operations, has served OCCC for over 20 years. In those years, Josh has nearly seen it all. "Crews" of Corpsmembers are assigned to individual Crew Supervisors, and many of the Crew Supervisors were once Corpsmembers. Josh rewards strong work ethic, and often hires Corpsmembers who show strong leadership, initiative, and drive. Josh takes pride in a job done right, which is the culture within OCCC. Project Supervisors, who have graduated from the OCCC program and gained competitive employment at OCCC, often provided additional support and training to Corpsmembers because they have lived experience. They provide peer to peer services that allow more compassion, understanding, empathy, and ability to overcome barriers. Nearly all of the Program Supervisors are previous Corpsmembers. This level of peer to peer is a pillar and driving force in the recovery model in supporting people with disabilities, as nearly all Corpsmembers entering programs live with a disability. 8. Tutoring (I page max) Santa Ana OSY will receive tutoring from The College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA) on a weekly basis one hour per week with a CCPA teacher. OSY and CCPA will review the weeks progress in coursework, answer questions, explain topics, provide feedback on test scores and results, teach STEM based fundamentals of Common Core, develop a safe and trusting relationship, and ultimately lead to completion of each course. Tutoring will improve TABE literacy and numeracy skills from pre to post test. CCPA facilities also have the ability to provide additional support in tutoring through use of software programs. At times, these programs are able to meet certain grade level numeracy development goals. For example, the computer lab has a mathematics program that provide visual queues rather than word problems to develop basic 4-5,1' grade numeracy skills. Further, when accommodations are needed due to Individualized Educational Plans (IEP), CCPA teachers are able to accommodate those needs based on the specific plans in the IEP. Program Specialist will also provide tutoring services for OSY considered below "basic skills deficient'. One-on-one tutoring is available at both the campus and OCCC headquarters in a private room, conference room, or at the computer labs, based on the OSY preference. Program Specialist also have the ability to tutor youth off -site at a location more preferable to the youth. 9. Mentoring (1 page max) OCCC has provided mentoring services for 29 years. OCCC Program Specialist, OCCC Project Supervisors, all CCYS staff, and OCCC administrative staff have all taken on mentorship roles. OCCC has built a strong network of community partnerships to address challenges, crisis, and barriers each youth face. OCCC case managers and staff have helped the most difficult cases, the most challenging, heartbreaking, and tenacious participants at OCCC. We approach each case individually, understanding that life's struggles will happen while in the program, yet challenge our youth to give us their best. At OCCC we hold each participant accountable. We seek, and expect the absolute best out of our youth. We challenge our youth to take pride in the work they complete. Homelessness is a significant burden to our youth. We often recognize one's strength of resilience to build on their self-esteem if they are completing a program while living on the streets. It is an incredible accomplishment. To address this need, in 2018 we started partnering with Citynet, in collaboration with the City of Anaheim, Mercy House, and the Health Care Agency to link our homeless youth to services. Through the Orange County 211 referral system, a VSPDAT can be completed and we can link them to additional support in the community. We have successfully linked youth to supported housing programs, as well as transitional and emergency housing programs. We rely on the Fullerton and Santa Ana Armory in the cold seasons for emergency shelter. We also refer to shelters, as a few more have opened in the past 6 months. We have had housing programs present at all staff meetings as well. Mental health issues and homelessness are often tied closely together. Our staff have received mental health first aid training, and continue to support youth in connecting to the Health Care Agency for mental health services. The health care agency and probation departments also provide referrals to youth in recovery services, as OCCC is willing to support youth with multiple barriers. OCCC staff have taken and sat with youth through initial intakes at the mental health clinics, as there can often be significant stigma attached to the initial meeting with a mental health professional. We also bring mental health providers onsite to present and help. OCCC partners with the Department of Child Support Services to assist young men and women with custody issues, child support issues, and other significant barriers facing a young adult. Substance abuse is a major coping strategy among at risk youth. In the past we have hosted AA meetings onsite, referred directly to Drug and Alcohol treatment programs, NA meetings, and Co- occurring support with the health care Agency. Often times youth are in significant denial, not understanding the risk they are in if they continue to use. We provide psychoeducation using our own lived experiences, as well as the leadership of our youth who are in recovery. OCCC Corpsmember of the Year in 2017 entered the program homeless and drinking daily. Through his recovery, he was often able to speak directly to our youth in crisis about his own recovery. Because youth spend 6-9 hours a day in a healthy program, they often become their own mentors and friends. At times they will also reach out to staff to alert when someone may be at risk, and further interventions are provided by OCCC staff. Domestic violence and gang violence is another major barrier. We've created a safe haven from that life-style. We offer a large network of community resources. We challenge youth to change. IO.Workshops (2 pages max) School's First Representative provides intensive financial literacy through our multi -year partnership. School's First outreach team offers multiple topic -specific workshops (establishing credit, buying your first car, opening a banking account, starting your own business, interest rates, overdraft fees). We offer a financial incentive for opening a bank account, often inviting several local banks to the campus to help teach youth the benefits of a bank account. As we understand at -risk youth are extremely vulnerable to financial predators, over the years we have established a deep trust in our financial partnerships to ensure youth receive concrete information from trusted people in financial literacy, and that we have a working relationship for our youth. Workshops are provided on a monthly and at times quarterly basis, depending on Wells Fargo availability. OCCC teaches the Corps to Career workshop series, including workshops on owning your own business. If there is one thing that is clear, youth are extremely resourceful. Many young adults know how to run their own business, yet lack some of the fundamental skills needed to maintain a healthy business over the years. The Corps to Career workshop on Entrepreneur skill training focuses on the "soft" and "hard" skills needed to be your own boss. Corps to Career workshops cycle through a gamut of topics throughout the series before restarting again. OCCC reiterates the fundamental point that education leads to increased wages. This point starts at orientation, and continues throughout one's time at OCCC in various Corps to Career workshops. Orange County's livable wage is increasingly going higher and higher into the mid 20's, and therefore information regarding labor markets that pay well above the livable wage, especially the markets within the high demand industries (Construction, health care, IT, hospitality/entertainment) are emphasized. Apprenticeship workshops are also given on a quarterly basis. Parenting classes, family planning, as well as long term financial planning, are a part of the ongoing Corpsmember development program. These workshops and services are available on an on -going basis. OCCC also has a 6-series work readiness class with Working Wardrobes, which ends with a fashion show in which all of the women get to attend, dress up, get their hair done, and be a part of a special event with the community. Worker's Rights/Labor Laws are completed in OCCC program orientation, completed every two weeks, for multiple hours per session, including a post-test and copies of one's rights, the laws, signed for both Corpsmembers and the organization. OCCC also often has guest workshops with various agencies which touch on these topics including Goodwill of Orange Cotmty Hurnan Services department. The representives often presents an FIR perspective as well as an employer's rights perspective to teach youth how to approach interactions with Human Resources. OCCC also facilitates monthly guest speakers to present on various topics including health, wellness, careers, colleges, and much more. For example, Planned Parenthood is currently providing their workshops to the entire youth body regarding health resources. In the past Human Options and other agencies have completed domestic violence presentations to the entire youth, which have created intense reactions from our youth who have experience sexual assaults, domestic violence assault, as well as challenged the culture of abuse within some low-income communities. These workshops often feature healthy options including creating a safety plan, getting help and getting out of an abusive relationship. These workshops are presented on a quarterly rotation, as the organization is available to present. The Corps to Career workshop series goes into significant depth about personal and professional development. Topics covered include attitude, safety, communication, initiative, cooperation, appearance, work quality vs. quantity, attendance, personal accountability, work ethic, work readiness, leadership skills, disability awareness, volunteering in the community, responsibility, career pathways, certifications, post -secondary education, civic engagement, community. Throughout all of these workshops, analytical skills at the workplace are presented at various topics. Youth are also encouraged to participate in volunteer opportunities throughout various OCCC partnerships to further their development, and achieve leadership skills as part of the Corps to Career model. OCCC also host guest speakers who have significant barriers and disabilities, to provide a common ground of resilience and hope. To show that people in very tough situations can overcome anything, achieve anything they set forth in accomplishing, and motivate our young adults to become leaders of tomorrow. 11. Civic Engagement or Leadership Development (2 pages max) The OCCC Leadership and Development Team focuses on further skills acquisition of each Corpsmember in the program. Every Corpsmember starts with an orange belt at Orientation. Each youth completes 4-phases of their development, ranked according to leadership components: work readiness, certifications, high school diploma, attendance rate, disciplinary write-ups, S.M.A.R.T. goal attainment, leadership activities engaged in at OCCC, and performance reviews. Each phase is represented by a belt, orange, green, silver and black, with black belt representing the highest level of personal and professional development. Social events, tearn sports, family events and participation including basketball and soccer tournaments, all-star games, staff vs. student games, and trivia games are included in this, "phases process." Youth are encouraged to participate in team activities to bring out the best in their social, emotional, and physical wellness. Annual picnics, holiday party meals, family Christmas and Thanksgiving meals allow for Corpsmember appreciation events, recognition for achievement, and phase advancement. Each phase of leadership and development takes on new challenges. Program Specialist, CCPA teaching staff, Project Managers and Leadership and Development Program Manager all work together to support a youth's development through his time at the Corps. The second phase, "Green belt" includes 30 days of perfect attendance, which is also an incentive goal, a good work and performance evaluation, and personal growth & development, as determined by staff engaged with the Corpsmember. The green belt also requires completion of workshops, leadership development with your program specialist, and work readiness components. The third phase of the program, the "silver belt" includes an additional 30 days of perfect attendance, good work and performance evaluation, personal growth and development (physical, mental, educational), completion of a State Recognized Certification, multiple Corps to Career workshops leading to the development of a personal portfolio, and additional career and post- secondary workshops. Additional financial literacy gains, and additional leadership development are also required. The final belt, the "Black" belt requires an additional 30 days of perfect attendance, good work and performance evaluation, personal growth and development (physical, mental, educational), completion of one's personal portfolio and additional competitive employment workshops to prepare for interviews and competitive employment. All youth participate in the leadership and development. OCCC also participates in civic engagement. On election day, and leading up to election day, special efforts are made to educate youth on the civic duties one possess as an adult, informing youth on local and national voting rights, where to vote, as well as allowing television time to follow the day's election news. All Corpsmembers participate in these election days. Another civic engagement OCCC creates is flying a group of 2-4 Corpsmembers to Sacramento to meet with the other 14 Conservation Corps and tour the State Capital, meet with legislators, compete in educational activities, often meet with the Governor and other legislative leaders and policy advisors shaping California, and allow for dialogue between Corpsmember and one's representative. 12. Supportive Services (1 page max) O. Will your organization provide supportive services to youth such as gas cards, bus pass, childcare assistance, etc.? If so, please describe. OCCC provides supportive services to youth, including gas expense reimbursement, monthly bus passes, housing support, childcare assistance.

Program Specialist will provide regularly scheduled follow up appointments with the participant to monitor progress. As a w\Workforce Innovations and Opportunity Act service provider, the OCCC for nearly a decade, has successfully partnered with the Workforce Investment Boards of Orange County, Anaheim and Santa Ana. We have developed comprehensive metrics within individual case management to meet and exceed the strict guidelines and expectations of these reentry contracts. We will use these same metrics and internal reviews to conduct our project evaluation and provide measurable outcomes for this project. Youth will continue to be stimulated to attend job retention workshops, career advancement and training opportunities, guest speaker presentations, peer support groups, individual follow up meetings on a monthly, if not more frequent, time period. If a participant were to still to obtain performance goals, Program need Specialist will continue to provide excellent customer services, maintain a working relationship, and continue to mentor and motivate youth to exceed the goals set forth within the ISS. 15.WI0A Performance Indicators (3 pages max) OCCC has a rigorous 15-point recruitment plan to meet the (23) youth enrolled by December 31", 2022. Once a Santa Ana resident youth (or homeless youth) enters facilities, the screening, assessment and linkages process takes place with Mr. Garcia as follows: 1. Prospective participant completes and submits the Orange County Conservation Corps online application or walk in application. 2. The Intake/pre-screening process begins. The Program Specialist determines eligibility for the Santa Ana WIOA Youth Program. 3. Topics discussed during the intake process are as follows: eligibility requirements for program services; what each youth expects upon arrival; an overview of the program mission; expected results/outcomes (employment, obtaining credentials, higher education attainment) and a description of both the youth's and case managers' responsibilities. 4. During the intake process, the Program Specialist has the opportunity to discuss important issues in detail and identify the youth's goals. Program Specialist conducts an interview using a questionnaire. 5. Once the youth is deemed eligible to be enrolled in the WIOA youth program, registration in CalJobs and selective services is verified. If youth is not enrolled in CalJobs or selective services Program Specialist assists in registration as necessary. 6. Program Specialist will then go over eligibility checklist and determine what documents the youth should bring to the next appointment to process enrollment e.g. parenting youth (children's birth certificate or social security card), disability (IEP/504 plan form), emancipated or foster youth letter, pregnancy (doctors note), homeless (individual statement, written statement from shelter or social service agency and applicant statement as a last resort), substance abuse (a letter from a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program) and offender (self - certification, applicant statement, court documents). 7.

A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act, regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient and sub recipient under the Act. These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.

The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer. c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s) d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address, and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) Officer who can answer inquiries. B. Conduct of Hearing The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to enable adjustment to the circumstances presented. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer. 2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and impartial hearing. 3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to give some assurance of veracity to the hearing. 20 EXHIBIT C 4. The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.

If the parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited. 7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing. 9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination.

REPRESENTATIVE ACORD 25 (2016/03) Th.. Arnon ____ REVIEWED & MPROV@ BY: L. .._ - m Ir.ke I 1VONPROFITS ,� .) The NonProfits' United Workers' Compensation Group (NPU-WCG) is a self-insurance group (SIG). We provide members with a combination of pooled self-insurance and commercial excess insurance for workers' compensation. WCG members receive statutory coverage per occurrence, which is a combination of our $500,000 self -insured pool and the excess coverages provided through AM Best Rated A+ Great American Safety National, which is statutory limits for workers' E&S Insurance Company (buffer layer of $250,000 xs $500,000 for both EL and WC for up to $750,000) and liability for 2020. compensation and up to $2,000,000 for employers NonProfits' United is not Best -rated because, as a pool, we are not an admitted carrier. This is the same situation that applies to the hundreds of self-insurance pools established through joint powers authorities for public entities, none of which have Best ratings. NPU was established in 1988 in accordance with the laws of the State of California applying to self-insurance. Please note the insured is part of a self -insured group pool, not individually self -insured, and does NOT have an SIR that they are Individually responsible for. Our Workers' Compensation Group, which began operation is 2005, is regulated by the Department of Industrial Regulations, Office of Self -Insurance Plans (DIR OSIP). The WCG holds Master Certificate of Consent to Self -Insure #4513. Since our formation over 10 years ago, we have underwritten in compliance with strict actuarial guidelines and have maintained financial soundness throughout the hard and soft periods of the traditional insurance cycles. Additionally, we use only A -rated or higher excess carriers. If a waiver of subrogation is issued, it is attached to the certificate as a whole and covers all three policies. A 30 day notice will not be provided as the policy is responsible to the insured and not the individual certificate holders regarding cancellation and we are held to the cancellation regulations required by the DIR OSIP. The 30 day language on a certificate is not enforceable and can be deemed illegal. We do, however, as a courtesy, attempt to notify certificate holders if a member withdraws or is withdrawn from the pool, and the certificate is rescinded. �'s`Pn""g ��g�+neniDi�iefon f : P REVIEWED & APPROVED BY.
