SUBJECT:
Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN) Recognition Day
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Background:
GAIN, an education, training, and employment program, has been
operating in Contra Costa County since May, 1988. In 1989 the
federal JOBS program was incorporated into the California GAIN
program. Since the implementation of GAIN in Contra Costa
County, approximately 8,000 individuals have been referred to
the program. Due to budget constraints, the program can
currently serve only 1500 individuals.
In 1990, six GAIN participants were chosen by the GAIN staff
to be recognized for their outstanding achievements while
participating in GAIN. Those six have continued to show
outstanding accomplishments. Four of them have become
employed and are fully self-sufficient. The other two are
nearing their goal of self-sufficiency.
This year we are again honoring six GAIN participants who have
illustrated high motivation and outstanding achievements.
Recommendation:
November 19, 1991 shall be designated as GAIN Recognition Day
in honor of all GAIN participants and GAIN staff. And,
specifically, to honor six current GAIN participants for their
outstanding achievements.
