III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In 1989 and 1990 the Housing Authority funded a summer Child Development
Program for children 2-1/2 to 6 years of age at El Pueblo in Pittsburg. The program
was very successful . A proposal has been received from the Pre-School Coordinating
Council , Inc. to operate a similar program this upcoming summer for 18 children, from
2-1/2 to 5 years of age, who live in the El Pueblo public housing development. This
four week program would begin on June 1, 1991 and end on June 28, 1991. The Housing
Authority's cost for this Child Development Program would be $7,500.
The Policy & Strategy Committee of the Advisory Housing Commission received
this Child Development Program proposal on April 15, 1991 and has recommended that
the program be funded from Housing Authority Local Management funds. The Budget
Committee reviewed this proposal and recommended that the program be funded again
this year. At its Regular Meeting on Monday, April 15, 1991 the Advisory Housing
Commission voted to recommend approval of the summer Child Development Program for
the children of El Pueblo, to be operated by the Pre-School Coordinating Council ,
Inc. and to allocate $7,500 in Local Management funds for the operation of the
program.
