Since very few Orange County residents lost their jobs because of the storm other people qualified under the Dislocated Worker Program. Since October 1996, we have enrolled 11 people to work in this program. Seven homeless people have been hired, provided safety clothing, shoes and equipment and other support services. The work has been performed at the Town of Chapel Hill, the North Carolina Park System (Umstead Park and Jordan Lake) and UNC Botanical Gardens. These people have been paid wages comparable to wages paid by the people they are working beside. Average wage has been 8.00 per hour. Funds are limited so it is essential that all resources are utilized. Therefore, coordination and linkage are of primary importance. Linkage agreements have been pursued with other human resource agencies that include: Vocational Rehabilitation, Employment Security, Department of Social Services, Community Colleges, School Systems, Educational Opportunity Center, Day Care Services, and Juvenile Court Counselors.
