The City of Santa Ana was designated as an LWIA and <br /> administrative entity on January 28, 2000, by the State Workforce Investment Board. Santa Ana <br /> has received WIA funds to operate job-training programs since July 1, 2000. <br /> <br /> On August 1, 2011, City Council approved an appropriation adjustment in the WIA budget to <br /> reflect approved allocations from the State of California for Program Year (PY) 2011-12. On <br /> November 17, 2011, the State of California released amended WIA formula allocations for PY <br /> 2011-12. The allocation amendment increases Santa Ana's WIA Adult funds by an additional <br /> $111,314 and WIA Dislocated Worker funds by an additional $92,952, totaling $204,266. <br /> <br /> Ten percent of the total ($20,426) will be used for program administration as allowed by WIA <br /> regulations. Actual additional amounts to be allocated to the WIA Adult program are $100,183 <br /> and $83,657 to the Dislocated Worker program. These funds will be used to provide vocational <br /> training, supportive services, skills assessment, and on-the-job training to Work Center clients. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 20A-1 <br />
