BACKGROITND*
The U.S. Department of Labor Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant 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 County, through the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), serves as the fiduciary agent for these
funds. This action will enable EHSD to accept the unilateral subgrant increase on behalf of the WDB in order to receive
the additional Rapid Response funds under the overall Workforce Investment Act grant from the State. Rapid Response
funding directly impacts Contra Costa County residents and business, outside the City of Richmond, affected by lay-offs
by providing a wide range of educational, employment, occupational training and other supportive services. The City of
Richmond receives it's own Workforce Investment Act grants.
