Our original JJDP Grant was to specifically fund r the salary of the Liaison Worker. The program's need for additional revenues for persc was partially met with the grant, but it did not cover the total funding need of the pr to eliminate a budget deficit and to offset drastically increasing operating expenses. Fiscal. Year 180-181, funding through the Division of Mental. Health is inadequate to mee operating expenses and to allow the program to be in compliance with State Residential Treatment Facility Standards. Unless the program receives additional funds, it may cre a situation where the program would be forced to close for a brief period of time at tt of the fiscal year because there would not be the funds to meet certain operating exper The original JJDP Grant was for the Liaison Worker salary only. The net: request j funds to meet operating expenses for the Janus House program of which" the Liaison Worke a supportive and integral part. The Liaison Worker project is essential for the impler 411!!!!. .dip . .ut orizing 0 icial OPMjecc OartWor .7 i. page 2 of an effective and comprehensive residential treatment program. The Janus House program requests that it be allowed to use JJDP Funds for the following specific line items within the category of operating.expersest - (1) Auto repairs for the staff car (2) Utilities A. Electricity B. 'Water and sewage (3) Pest control, for the facility x (4) Copying expenses for required documentation - (5) Stamps for nailing correspondence and documentation (6) office supplies so that required documentation can be done It is felt that if the program is given the additional funds, and provided there are no unforeseen expenses, the program will be able to meet its operating expenses for . the remaining part of the fiscal year. The Orange County Youth Services Needs Task Force in a meeting on January 16, 1981, endorsed the Janus House Program request for Emergency JJDP Funds. This action was taken in light of the Task Force's ranking of residential treatment as its first service priority for the county and with the knowledge of the Janus House budget d ._ici.t • i.. } 72,9 OPU (1, AGENDA ATTACHMENT 5 P.O.Box 633 Chapel HE North Carolina 27514 p. •Nor CSIM: -!`"010179 County Day Core Codition January 16, 1981 Dear Friends: For the at several years, Orange County has experienced an ever increasing need for child care services. This is partly due to the rapid growth in population but more substantially due to the increase in the number of working women, the number of single parent families, and the increasing demands, of the economy. Long waiting lists for services in all types of programs and locations in the county indicate, that these needs are not being met. Child care is, supported in many different ways through- out Orange County; government, community groups, churches, and families. However, with this unmet need, we must begin to question how this base of support can be broadened and increased. We are looking to the community for the solutions to these problems. As a part of this community problem solving process, the Orange . County Day Care Coalition is sponsoring a Community Forum on the issues of child care in the community. This Forum, to be held on April 11, 1981, will convene to give participants information about child care in our county, to begin efforts at understanding thecontributions, benefits, and unmet needs of child care, and to take a first step In creating community solutions to community child care problems. We are inviting representatives from local government, human services, businesses, health, education, the university, and child care programs to participate in this process. We would like to have your endorsement for this Forum to include on the invitations to participants. The more endorsements we get, from community groups and agencies like yours, the greater the likelihood of attracting participants from the entire community. If you are willing to endorse theCommunity Forum on Child Care"i please return a statement to that effect to the Coalition at the above address by January 28, 1981. " V. If you have any questions or would like to offer your endorsement by phone, . please call Deanna Bullard or Sue Russell at 968-4501 or 732-9361. Thank you for your continuing support.
