DISCUSSION Since 2018, the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB), the State of California’s agent for the oversight and continuous improvement of California’s workforce development system, has engaged in a formal partnership with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and California Prison Industry Authority (CalPIA) with the goal of improving labor market outcomes of the state’s justice-involved and formerly incarcerated populations. The CWDB is providing State general funds for the implementation of regional programs to serve the formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals in California. This funding is referred to as the Prison to Employment (P2E) 2.0 grant. The Corrections-Workforce Partnership, which is a multi-agency effort, seeks to provide the state’s 15 Regional Planning Units (RPUs) with resources that will enable them to better serve this population by fostering partnerships between RPUs, CDCR reentry service providers, CDCR Division of Adult Parole Operations, CDCR Division of Rehabilitative Programs, county probation departments, employers, and community-based organizations (CBOs). The Prison to Employment (P2E) 2.0 program is intended to support regional efforts, and provide resources for direct employment and supportive services to the formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals P2E 2.0 funds were awarded to the Orange RPU. Serving 34 cities and multiple large unincorporated areas in Orange County, the Orange RPU collaborates with partners to build on the region’s strengths, address challenges, and expand opportunities for community members and businesses that fuel economic vitality. The Orange RPU Prison to Employment Program August 15, 2023 Page 2 3 6 4 1 leads the region’s vision for a future-ready workforce that is better skilled, trained, and prepared to keep industries competitive, communities thriving, and the economy growing. The Orange RPU is composed of the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, and the City of Santa Ana Workforce Development Boards (WDBs). As it pertains to this grant, the City of Santa Ana will be the fiscal agent. In April, the City received notice that the Orange RPU was awarded a total of $927,341.16.
