as well as our local Santa Ana Job Center. We currently share space in the Santa AJCC and plan to rent space in 2019 for this current project. Co -location will ensure close partnership, co -enrollment, and collaboration of services. We successfully delivered contracted goals working with Adult Workers who had long histories of unemployment in 2016. Working together with the Local Area, AJCC staff, and EDD we were able to successfully find employment for 61 Adult Workers and training for 20 and OJT opportunities for 3. Our relationship with EDD is demonstrated through our collaborative partnership with EDD counselors in working together with TCVS employment specialists. Regional partnerships with mandatory partners is demonstrated by the success or the 2017 VEAP contract. The community partners and the VA partners also were instrumental in serving the disabled veterans and non - disabled veterans who required additional services including benefits, mental health services, housing, and transportation. TCVS is considered a leader and valued partner in veteran employment and coordination of service delivery. V.2. Partner Roles and Responsibilities r------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TCVS's leadership in the Orange County Veterans and Military Families Collaborative (OCVMF) has resulted in strong relationships with over 80 veteran service organizations. Agencies such as Veterans Legal Institute, Volunteers of America, Child Guidance Center and Strength in Support all work together to ensure the veteran receives the necessary services. Additional partnerships have been formed with each of the community colleges and local universities through their Veterans Resource Centers. Moreover the Orange County Veterans Initiative in which Goodwill partners with 15 veteran agencies and educational institutions adds to the depth and breadth of our partnership relationship. Each of these partners meet monthly to ensure employment, outreach, educational benefits, and supportive services are being delivered in an organized and collaborative fashion. The common approach among partners is to not only work in one another's offices but to share resources and referrals so that the veteran avoids multiple contacts with a myriad of providers. In 2019, VOALA, Zero8Hundred and 211 OC will be co -located at the Tierney Center creating a HUB for veterans services. These partnerships in addition to the public/private partnership of co -location with the VA has resulted in a one -stop model for veterans to receive services. TCVS has the unique position of having an outreach specialist located in our County Veterans Service Office. Our Outreach Specialist is able to connect with the veterans seeking services on a daily basis and either provide the veteran with the assistance he/she needs, or refer the veteran to the multiple partners we work with. Once the Outreach Specialist had assessed the veteran's needs; the roles and responsibilities of our partner agencies are simple: meet the needs of the veterans. V.3.
