DISCUSSION
In June 2005, the City of Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center received a $500,000
grant from the Department of Labor Faith-based ini tiati ve to work with
Fai th-Based Organizations for the provision of employment and training
services to Santa Ana residents. This grant requires that at least
seventy percent of the grant or $350,000 will be sub-contracted to
Faith-Based Organizations in the community. As a result, the W/O/R/K
Center issued Phase I of the Request for Proposals (RFP) in August of
2005, and subsequently, recommended awarding a contract to Templo
Calvario.
On October 17, 2005, the Santa Ana City Council approved the initial
contract of $227,500 to Templo Calvario to serve 130 individuals within
a designated census area(s) that has high poverty rates and a hard-to-
serve population.
As directed by the Department of Labor, Phase II of the RFP was issued
to broaden the Faith-Based Organizations' participation in the
implementation of this grant. However, no responses were received to
the Phase II RFP. In an effort to fully utilize the balance of the
required subcontracting amount, the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board

has recommended that the balance of $122,500 be awarded to Templo
Calvario CDC to augment their original contract.
These funds will be used to provide employment opportunities to 70
additional individuals such as ex-offenders, drop-outs , limited English
speakers, and welfare clients who wish to enter the job market; and to
assist in developing collaborative working partnerships between local
grass roots Faith-Based Organizations and the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Department of Labor Faith-Based Organization
grant account (account no. 132-702-6933).
