I. SCOPE OF SERVICE
A. - Activities
1. General Statement
The Grantee will be responsible for administering a Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Year 2014-2015 Child Care Services, Special Needs Program and
Y*100 Youth Services in a manner satisfactory to the City and consistent with any
standards required as a condition of providing these funds. Such program will include the
following activities eligible under the CDBG Program.
2. Program Delivery
Activity #1 The Child Care Services Program will offer scholarships to income eligible
families for preschool, after school care, and summer care for school age children.
Families will be required to pay co -pay, based on sliding scale, for YWCA childcare.
The amount of their scholarships will also be based on a sliding scale. To receive
scholarship assistance, parents must be working, in training, or in school. In rare
instances, an exception could be made in extenuating circumstances. There will be
approximately 60 children and their families that receive benefit from this program.
Activity #2 The Special Needs Program will provide educational/recreational activities
and socialization for emotionally disturbed children and children with severe behavior
problems. These children due to a disability are not able to participate in mainstream
after-school programs. This program introduces students to constructive recreational
activities, aids in educational successes and increases social skills. By intervening in the
lives of these troubled children at an early age, the program seeks to prevent school
dropout, involvement in gang and delinquent activities and drug abuse. Approximately
fifteen (15) children will benefit from this program. This program meets on a daily basis.
Activity #3 The Youth Services Program will provide a safe place for teens to engage in
healthful activities. This program provides funding support for teens to have a safe place
for sports and activities as well as opportunities for leadership development, specific job
skills and community engagement. The target audience is all teens ranging in age from 13
years — 17 years. The program will take place at the YWCA facilities and it does reflect
one of the priorities in the Consolidated Plan by offering supportive services to at risk
youth.
