Program Development Grant Cycle 39

Regional Office: Silicon Valley/Monterey Bay

Organization Name: * Hope Rehabilitation Services, Inc.

Dollar Amount of Proposal: $20,000

Goal Area Proposed: Employment

Proposal Narrative: The goal of the project for which we are requesting funding is to expand a highly successful program, a workforce initiative and High School Transition program for adults with developmental disabilities, to Monterey County. The program is a nine-month intensive school-to-work transition program which includes: classroom instruction; career exploration; hands-on training through worksite interdepartmental rotations; job search supports; and post-placement supports (after competitive integrated employment is secured). This project will have a significant impact on people with 1/DD by helping them to overcome barriers to competitive integrated employment and become successfully employed in their communities.

*Pending successful completion of the protest period.
