Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing additional revenues from
the State of California in the amount of $77,500 to participate in a
National Emergency Grant and $110,895 from the 15% Governor's
Discretionary funds to serve Dislocated Workers from the mortgage,
banking and construction industries and appropriate same into the
National Emergency Grant and 15o Governor's Discretionary Grant
expenditure accounts.
DISCUSSION
The State of California applied for and was awarded a National Emergency
Grant (NEG) from the federal Department of Labor to provide assistance to
workers affected by the mortgage and banking layoffs. The State awarded
portions of the NEG grant to twelve Local Workforce Investment Areas, one
of which is the Santa Ana W/0/R/K Center through the City of Santa Ana.
The $77,500 NEG funds that the City will receive will assist thirteen
participants in upgrading their job skills, resume writing, interview
skills, and job search. A portion of the NEG grant has also been
designated for vocational training as well as supportive services.
The State has also awarded $2.5 million in grants to Los Angeles County,
Orange County and the Inland Empire. These three metropolitan areas have
suffered job losses in the State's most distressed industry sectors
including construction, financial services and manufacturing. Santa Ana
will receive $110,895 to supplement the Dislocated Worker funds which
will be used to provide additional education, training and job placement
assistance for those participants affected by the economic downturn in
these industry sectors.
