DISCUSSION
In May 2002, the Santa Ana Empowerment Corporation Board approved a
business plan that identified three specific goals and objectives that

they wished to see achieved. One of the three goals concerned job
development, training, and job placement for Empowerment Zone residents.
In 2003 the Board sent out a Request for Proposal to over 50 entities
for the development and implementation of a Daisy Wheel component. The
Daisy Wheel is comprised of four partners that provide employment
services to FEZ residents, such as employment listings, career
advisement, training services, job search assistance, non-subsidized
employment, retention services, skill upgrades, plus many others. The
Santa Ana W/0/R/K Center was awarded the contract. In the past four
years, the W/0/R/K Center developed and implemented a job training and
placement program in conjunction with nine partners.
On May 23, 2007, the Santa Ana Empowerment Corporation Board awarded a
contract for a fifth year to the Santa Ana W/0/R/K Center in an amount
of $637,000. The contract is to fund Phase V of the Federal Empowerment
Zone Daisy Wheel Network that will service 520 residents living within
the Empowerment Zone. The Daisy Wheel Network will continue to provide
vocational/occupational training, employment strategies, education, and
supportive services for the participants. The Santa Ana W/0/R/K Center
will receive $364,055 to provide oversight of the Daisy Wheel Network,
cover administrative and operational costs, and provide direct services
to 225 Empowerment Zone participants. The three contracts listed above
will total $272,945 for July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, for a total
amount of $637,000.
