Approve and authorize submission of the County' s Grant Diversion Plan (County #21-043-1) as instructed by the State Department of Social Services. The Grant Diversion Plan, a separate component under Greater Avenues of Independence (GAIN) , will provide certain employment and training services for AFDC recipients for the period beginning November 1, 1987 and ending June 30, 1988 . II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The $719,850 in State funds budgeted for this component was included in the County' s overall GAIN Plan which was approved by the Board on March 24,1987. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: Grant Diversion is a funding mechanism by which all or a portion of the AFDC participant' s cash grant may be diverted to the employer as a wage subsidy. The planned enrollment will allow for supportive services and on-the-job training (OJT) , supported work, and/or transi- tional work opportunities for 134 AFDC participants; the program goal for these activities is permanent unsubsidized employment. These services will be contracted to service providers including, but not limited to, subcontracts with OJT employers. Both the GAIN Advisory Council and GAIN Coordinating Committee have reviewed the Grant Diversion Plan and have voiced no opposition to the Plan. On August 4, 1987, a public hearing was held pursuant to GAIN legislation (AB2580) , at which time the community was permit- ted to direct any comments regarding the Plan to the County Board of Supervisors.
