On May 17, 2004, City Council approved a $265,000 contract with the County
of Orange Social Services Agency (SSA) to provide emploYment services
through two programs - the Community Service Program and a Work Experience
Program to assist CalWORKs clients in obtaining job skills. This
amendment will allow the W/O/R/K Center to serve an additional ten

program is a wage subsidy program, designed to provide a planned,
structured learning experience to program participants with the ultimate
