<br /> Youth Service Navigator MOU Amendment <br /> <br /> April 5, 2010 <br /> Page 2 <br /> successful completion, exiting, and follow-up of all WIA youth enrolled in the Youth Service <br /> Provider Network (YSPN). <br /> The procurement process for Program Year (PY) 2009-10 resulted in the award $721,915 of <br /> funding to six existing youth service providers to serve 104 Santa Ana low-income youth. A <br /> second procurement for PY 2009-10 awarded $183,392 to two new youth service providers to <br /> serve 36 Santa Ana low-income youth. It also increased the amount of funding by $288,984 for <br /> two existing providers to run a green construction program serving 20 Santa Ana low-income <br /> youth. This brings the total award amount for PY 2009-10 to $1,194,292 to eight youth service <br /> providers to serve approximately 160 youth. The initial Navigator budget was based on the first <br /> procurement and did not include the two additional youth service providers and the green <br /> construction program. New youth service providers require more training and technical <br /> assistance than do youth service providers who have had previous WIA experience. <br /> Additionally, the Santa Ana WORK Center was awarded a Green Job Corps grant for $84,410 in <br /> collaboration with the Orange County Workforce Investment Board and the Anaheim Workforce <br /> Investment Board. This grant will serve 28 Santa Ana low-income youth and has been assigned <br /> to the Youth Service Navigator staff. No funding for staff salaries is provided through this grant. <br /> This recommendation to authorize an increase in the budget will allow the Youth Service <br /> Navigator to cover expanded YSPN activities by allocating additional staff time to provide <br /> technical assistance and training to the new service providers and to oversee the Green Job <br /> Corps Program. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> No fiscal impact associated with this item. <br /> Cynthia J.
