a <br />SUPPORTIVE SERVICE POLICY <br />Santa Ana WIOA <br />PURPOSE: Project Kinship establishes this policy to provide guidance for issuing supportive <br />services to participants of the Santa Ana Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (SAWIOA) <br />Program. This policy is designed to support participants in reaching their highest potential while <br />actively engaged in the SAWIOA program and/or follow up services. <br />SUPPORTIVE SERVICE POLICY <br />Project Kinship will assist our SAWIOA work and job development program participants with <br />supportive services based upon their needs outlined in their Initial Service Plan (ISP). The Case <br />Manager will be responsible for tracking the distribution of supportive services for each <br />participant. Supportive services should only be used to assist participants to achieve the most <br />challenging goals. <br />Project Kinship's supportive service form must be completed by the case managers to issue <br />supportive service. The Program Coordinator must review and approve the request prior to the <br />supportive service being issued. The Directorof Operations, along with the Program Coordinator, <br />is responsible for confirming that the supportive service amount is not exceeded. The maximum <br />supportive service amount may not exceed $250 per participant. Project Kinship will leverage <br />any exceeding amounts in our budget for incentives with our general funding as a match. <br />Eligibility: <br />• Participant must be fully enrolled in the SAWIOA program. Meaning all referral and <br />enrollment documents must be completed and entered into the Callobs system prior to <br />any supportive services being issued. <br />• Participant must be actively engaged in program activities agreed upon and meet or <br />appropriately communicate with the case manager at least two times a month. <br />• Provision of supportive services are is not an entitlement and it will be determined what <br />supportive services are reasonably required for youth based on individual need, <br />assessment results, and the Individual Service Plan (ISP) <br />Availability of funds and assessment of need: <br />
