Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Section 129 (b) (2) (C), the State

that have high concentrations of eligible youth. On October 7, 2005, the

Percent funding would be available upon approval of a proposal submitted
by the local Workforce Investment Boards. The Santa Ana Workforce
Investment Board/Youth Council submitted a proposal to fund the Foster
Youth Liaison Proj ect, administered by the Orangewood Children's
Foundation. The proposal submitted would target and facilitate
enrollment of foster/emancipated youth to the local WIA funded youth
system. The project would provide universal services for up to 100 youth
at the Orangewood Children's Foundation Resource Center located in Santa
Ana. In addition, the proj ect will enroll 12 WIA eligible
foster/emancipated youth into the WIA system. Services provided to the
youth include comprehensive education and employment preparation services
