INTRODUCTION:
c_
CDBG funds have been used historically to rehab buildings,
make existing facilities accessible and generally to eliminate
architectural barriers to disabled individuals.
As these efforts conclude it has now been determined that the
greatest barrier to handicapped individuals is inaccessibility to
the labor market. Even though the disabled to some extent now have
access to buildings, have appropriate housing and greater physical
freedom they must contend with the barriers to vocational assessment
and job placement.
In response to these critical needs, The Easter Seal Society is
requesting CDBG funds to provide start-up costs for a comprehensive
vocational assessment center and job club for disabled, minority and
low income residents.
This project will access the disabled and economically disad-
vantaged to the labor market and will start the process toward eco-
nomic self-sufficiency. A step toward employment will guarantee that
disabled individuals will be able to afford proper health care, proper
housing, adequate nutrition and generally enable them to enjoy good
health so they can fully participate in community activities in the
newly accessible buildings.
Some further significant benefits are realized due to the location
of the Easter Seal Society.
These include:
1. Improvements in this deteriorating neighborhood.
2. A center that emphasizes the "work ethic" within an area
that perpetuates the "welfare mentality".
3. A model for forward progress and self improvement for the
community residents.
4. The possibility that with such a center located in this
area, that the crime rate might decrease.
5. Increased services to minority residents.
This project is proposed to assist the City of San Bernardino
in improving the quality of life, increasing citizen opportunities,
enhancing the neighborhood and encouraging the disabled, minorities
and low income residents to become full participants in their com-
munity. We are confident that our proposal meets the project intent
and eligibility requirements.
