In July 1998, the City of Santa Clarita entered into a subcontract with the Antelope Valley
Workforce Development Consortium to receive the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant for
Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs from the Los Angeles County Department of Community
and Senior Services. Since then, the City has been receiving annual WIA funding for the
operation of the Santa Clarita WorkSource Center. Grant allocation for Fiscal Year 2008-09 is in
the amount of $156,223, a 15.76% decrease from last year's funding.
This grant provides no -cost services for job seekers, including computer access, the ability to
research and pursue job leads, and workshops to improve job search skills and marketability.

Clarita WorkSource Center is a valuable component of economic development for the City of
