It included an additional appropriation of $225 million <br />in SCSEP - funds which were to be allotted within 45 days of the law's enactment (or by January <br />30, 2010) to current grantees that "can effectively utilize additional funding ". In order to receive <br />an allotment of these funds, SCSEP grantees needed to complete a Statement of Inteht by <br />January 8, 2010 reflecting demonstrated need, capacity to expend additional funds, and sustained <br />and satisfactory performance. <br />DLIR submitted a Statement of Intent requesting an additional $610,000 to extend services to <br />our ARRA participants for an additional year. The additional duration will allow ARRA <br />participants to gain additional skills which may better equip them to enter the labor force. We <br />are currently over - enrolled in ARRA and anticipate that our regular SCSEP program will also be <br />fully enrolled within the next month or two. Although some subprojects anticipate they may <br />have ARRA and/or regular funds remaining at the end of the year, others expect their ARRA <br />funds will be running out before the year is over. With an additional $610,000, we can continue <br />services to all ARRA participants until June 30, 2011 as well as assist subprojects who will be <br />short of ARRA funds before the current program year is over. <br />On January 29, 2010, DLIR was informed that we are one of the selected grantees to receive <br />additional funding and that we will be funded at the requested level of $610,000. <br />EXHIBIT "A" <br />DARWIN L.D CHING <br />DIRECTOR <br />COLLEEN Y.
