HR 2015 supplements the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy <br />Families (TANF) welfare program with an additional $3 billion for states to <br />create local welfare to work programs. California is eligible for <br />$190,417,247 in 1998 and the same amount in 1999.. The California <br />Employment Development Department is the designated state administrative <br />agency for these funds, and the local Private Industry Councils (PICs) are <br />the administrative agencies at the local level. The Santa Ana PIC <br />currently administers the Job Training Partnership Act funds for the City. <br />The proposed resolution establishes the PIC as the administrative agency <br />for the new welfare funding and is required to be submitted to the state <br />for approval along with a defined program for use of the funds. <br />The PIC will receive an estimated $2,356,717 per year for the next two <br />years to operate a welfare to work program. The PIC and WORK Center staff <br />are in the process of developing the program criteria and anticipate <br />operations to commence in June 1998. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />&Umi Q�a�� - <br />Cynth a J.
