On April 6, 2010, the RFP <br /> Review Team met to review the proposals and make funding recommendations (Exhibit 1). These <br /> funding recommendations have taken into account the WIA requirement to ensure that at least <br /> thirty percent of the youth funds are spent on out-of-school youth and to serve the neediest youth <br /> as outlined by the Department of Labor's "New Strategic Vision for the Delivery of Youth Services <br /> under the Workforce Investment Act." Additionally, these recommendations are the first step <br /> needed to ensure that at least eighty percent of the funds are obligated each year, as required by <br /> <br /> the Act. <br /> 25K-2 <br /> <br />
