SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2008-04-01 | 3 | Special Minutes of the SSHRB, April 1, 2008 Meeting Page 3 will be a change in case planning to support housing plans and she looks forward to supporting further collaboration with other services here in Alameda. Patricia Murillo, Alternatives in Action, Executive Director, stated she wanted to express thanks to the staff. It has been eight years since the last time AIA was funded with CDBG. This year, AIA will relocate to a new location at the Woodstock School campus and partner with AUSD. The new transition center will open and be able to provide regional occupation programs for youth. CDBG funding will support the job training programs that include ROP credits. Genevieve Cross, Women's Initiative for Self-Employment (WISE) stated she is thrilled to be included in the funding recommendations. WISE is in their 20th year of helping train women to be entrepreneurs', with all training classes in English and Spanish. She further stated WISE has been established in other cities and apply and receive CDBG funding for their cause. They have wait lists in five counties they are located in. Thank you to staff. Chen - How do people obtain these programs, do they walk-in or is there a referral system? Wright - Each program or agency has their own process for in-take, some are referrals some are walk- ins. Franz - Some are given multiple referrals, it varies by agency. Chen - Is there more demand than available services? Wright - Yes. Villareal - Are the services you are offering supplemental to school? Murillo - Yes. This year I learned that there are very few academic programs available to students during the summer. Alameda Unified and Oakland Unified are providing only remediation. We are the only program during the summer that will allow students to work towards through future by providing academic enrichment and college credit. There aren't any other programs on the island offering young people the opportunity to do that. They are the only afterschool program that allows school credit that she is aware of for grades 9 to 12. Wasko- Do you need to be a student at BASE to participate in the program? Murillo - During the summer program, we serve Encinal High students, Alameda High, BASE students and Oakland Unified students in the 5-6 week intensives. Villareal - Do you collaborate with the College of Alameda? Murillo - Yes. Two of our classes currently are articulated with the Peraltas. They handle that articulation process so that students can earn college credit. Nielsen - So how many classes do you offer? | SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard/2008-04-01.pdf |
