DISCUSSION
Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) , the State of California is
required to provide additional assistance to local areas that have high
concentrations of WIA eligible youth. On October 7, 2005, the State
released Directive number WIAD05-7 indicating that WIA 15 percent funding
would be available upon approval of proposals submitted by Local
Workforce Investment Boards. The City of Santa Ana submitted a proposal
to fund the Foster Youth Liaison Project, administered by the Orangewood
Children's Foundation. On November 9, 2005, the State awarded $62,500
dollars to the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board to assist in
increasing the number of foster/emancipated youth receiving WIA services.
The Foster Youth Liaison proj ect provides universal services for up to
100 youth at the Orangewood Children's Foundation Resource Center located
in Santa Ana. The project will also enroll 12 WIA eligible
foster /emancipated youth into the WIA system. The services provided to
the youth include both comprehensive education and employment preparation
services for In-School and Out-of-School youth who are Santa Ana
residents and are between the ages of 16 and 21.
On January 17, 2006, the City Council approved a contract with Orangewood
Children's Foundation in the amount of $60,650 for the period from
January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006. The balance of $1,850 was
