Committee backs $105,000 expansion of Disability Employment Initiative funds
Summary
The committee recommended retroactive acceptance and expansion of a $105,000 Department of Labor grant (passed through California EDD) to support the Disability Employment Initiative, primarily funding subcontracts and travel for OEWD staff; no matching funds are required.
The Budget and Finance Committee moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors retroactively accept and expand $105,000 in Disability Employment Initiative funding passed through the California Employment Development Department.
John Halpin, director of program operations at the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, said the award adds roughly $100,000 in supplemental flexible funding to an existing grant. He said the funds will primarily support a subcontract to Community Vocational Enterprises and cover travel for mandatory national meetings tied to the initiative and that no match is required.
There was no public comment. The committee forwarded the item with recommendation without objection.
