The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to advise social services districts (districts) that the enacted State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2010-11 Budget provides $2 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to support subsidized jobs with public or private organizations established through the second year of the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) Health Care Jobs program. Separate LCMs will be released to inform eligible districts of the funding available to support the continuation of the Transitional Jobs and Green Jobs Corps programs. The attached Subsidized Employment Programs Matrix provides a summary of each program model (see Attachment A).
The appropriation language for the Health Care Jobs 2 program dictates priority be given to districts with over 1,500 active adults in receipt of public assistance in households with children, and therefore, Health Care Jobs 2 funding is made available by OTDA to Erie, Monroe, Nassau, Onondaga, Suffolk, Westchester and New York City. Should funds become available, OTDA may redistribute funding, including making awards to additional districts. District allocations for Health Care Jobs 2 are included in Attachment B of this LCM. The Health Care Jobs 2 program enables eligible districts to establish subsidized employment opportunities of up to 40 hours per week for up to one year in the health care sector, including community health outreach and education positions.
