8 <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> VII. REPORTS <br /> A. STATUS REPORT - OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES GRANT <br /> Albert Kittrell presented to the Board a brief report on the <br /> information contained in the Families Fund (OFF) proposal. The deadline <br /> for submitting this grant is August 1, 1991. Orange County's proposal <br /> is based on the conviction that the key to breaking the cycle of poverty <br /> is to improve the opportunities for young males to lead productive and <br /> economically self-supporting lives. The County Commissioners made <br /> several suggestions that will be incorporated into the document. This <br /> proposal will be reviewed several times before the August 1st deadline. <br /> However, the strategies and major components will not be revised. The <br /> Board will have an opportunity to review and comment on the final <br /> proposal before it is submitted. John Link indicated that a decision <br /> will need to be made after this program has been in operation for two <br /> years to determine if it is a program the Board wants to continue after <br /> the funding ends. <br /> B.
