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