GAIN Intake Change -2- December 2, 1991
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This change in the GAIN program plan is required in order to keep within the FY
91/92 budget allocation. The State GAIN allocation for FY 91/92 is $4,298,023
which includes a $555,317 county share. This recommended change is to enable the
GAIN program costs to keep within the budget allocation.
BACKGROUND,:
Because of the higher than anticipated child care costs for GAIN participants,
the uncertainties of the State budget realignment process, and the reassignment
of six GAIN line staff, it became necessary to delay the start of GAIN intake.
The Teen Parent target group that will be entering GAIN when intake opens will
be costly in terms of child care, costing on an average of $550 per month per
participant. In order to serve this group, it became necessary to limit the
number of participants from 2500 to 1500 through attrition before taking in any
new participants.
