BACKGROUND
In spring 2000, the City of Santa Clarita was awarded a grant from Los Angeles County
Department of Community and Senior Services for $140,000 per year for five years for a
Workforce Investment Act Youth Grant. The Workforce Investment Act Youth Program is a
partnership with the Sheriff's Station, SCV Youth Project, Santa Clarita Child and Family
Center, Department of Child and Family Services, SCV School and Business Alliance, SCV
Chamber of Commerce, and William S. Hart Union High School District. This program
provides employment and life skills training to at -risk youth in Santa Clarita. Since program
inception in July 2000, over 25 youth, between the ages of 14 — 22 years, have enrolled in the
program and received services to help them become employable and positive contributors to the
community.
The City of Santa Clarita recently received notification of eligibility to receive an additional
$21,000 in carry over funds for the 2001-02 program year. This request is to use the additional
grant funds to pay for year round employment for youth. The total grant award for the program
year will be increased to $161,000.
