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.
