body
Financial Impact:
Funding for this program is anticipated in the FY 2026-2027 budget, account 5013-53230, Professional and Special Services. These activities are funded with federal CalWORKs Expanded Subsidized Employment funding. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
This is a contract renewal. Express has provided these services since 2015. Tehama County Social Services Employment and Training workers will refer CalWORKs participants to Express Employment to be screened for employment. Participants that meet the criteria will be provided various employment opportunities at different worksites throughout the community for a 6-month period. This program focuses on a longer-term job placement, which will provide immediately available, meaningful subsidized work that has the potential to lead to unsubsidized employment.
