FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County Costs. $1,209,443; 100%Federal Workforce Investment Act(WIA) of 1998 funding.
BACKGROITND:
The U.S. Department of Labor Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grants funding by formula to states for distribution to
local Workforce Investment Boards to fund employment and employment-related services, including specific allocation
for youth employment and occupational skills training. On March 7, 2000, the Board of Supervisors (Item C.157)
authorized the County Five-Year WIA Plan for submission to the Governor in order to apply for the formula WIA funds.
The State of California Employment Development Department recently provided notice to The Contra Costa County
Workforce Development Board (WDB) of the availability of$1,209,443 in youth formula allocation funds under Title I
WIA subgrant for Program year (PY) 2006-2007. This represents a planning allotment of the youth formula allocation
for RY 2006-2007. The remaining youth funds as well as adult and dislocated worker formula allocation of the Title I
WIA subgrant has been delayed pending approval of the State's 2006-2007 budget.
The County, through the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), serves as the fiduciary agent for these
funds. This action will enable EHSD to execute the subgrant agreement on behalf of the WDB in order to receive the
grant funds. The funds received through this subgrant will be used to provide a wide range of educational, employment,
occupational training and other supportive services to eligible youth in Contra Costa County, excluding the City of
Richmond, which receives funding directly from the State.
