5 <br />The Employment Program (Work First Transition)• provides funds to low income <br />and work transitional residents to ensure employment. The Wheels for Work Program <br />provided donated vehicles to these clients that ensured transportation for employment. <br />These funds were also utilized to cover maintenance, insurance, fuel, and alternative <br />transit options for low income clients. FY 2009/2010 the Wheels for Work Program was <br />dropped from the Orange County budget and these funds were transferred to Department <br />of Social Services. DSS will administer allocation of these funds in a similar way as the <br />Wheels for Work Program. <br />2007 2008 2009 % c,f ~hanvP <br /> <br />Em loyment $ <br />$11,239 <br />$21,492 <br />$21,870 o- <br />+0.02% <br />Total Services 47 113 122 +5.4% <br />Cost per $239.13 $190.19 $179.26 -5.8% <br />Service <br />Explain +/- 10% variance between FY 08 and FY 09 performance.
