dcyf goes through every 3 years a new rfp cycle. for us we technically wipe the slate clean and we grant all new providers. so we do use, we do consider our new grantees as potential in kind to the p fund. >> when you say new grantees do you mean grantees that were never funded before, is this like an increase in dollars that we've normally not seen at the school district. >> for every rfp cycle for us it's a new cycle of grantees. even if we have had a history with them for many years, because technically the funding is, the funding is just reset. it resets funding. . >> i don't know if you have an example actually. >> if we fund peer resources or the wellness center, let's say we grant the wellness center the new cycle a million dollars, but we had already been funding the wellness center a million dollars from the children's fund, do we count that million dollars as part of the in kind dollars that we expect the city it allocate to the school district via p ?oo ?a i'm going to risk, i believe wellness centers have been used as in

dcyf children's fuplds are allocated for all children in the city. however, we do prioritize children who are disconnected from services and a lot of our children in our department -- children in our department we serve school districts through them. this is the timeline that we came up with starting back in early september, early fall this year what we call setting the stage. and this is primarily us coming together and just understanding the logistics of the two funds. we are now moving into the next phase of this work which is this engagement of stake holders and you can see that the work will continue where there might be a switch in january of 2014 to this notion of launching a campaign. so in terms of setting the stage, we have a working group that is comprised of school district and city staff, primarily the mayor and the superintendent who then appointed miranda and myself as well as samuel fields from the controller's office and kate howard from the mayor's budget office to come together to look at the nuts and bolts of these two funds. so c

i am in discussions with dcyf, and i am is hopeful we will be able to work something out. my predecessor was always committed to making sure funding occurred, and i will continue to do that, so you have an ally in me. the budget is the most eminent issue, and we do have a structural budget deficit in the city, so we need to deal, of course, with the short-term balancing our budget in a way that does not decimate city services that people rely on, but also to address our long- term structural budget deficit, and that means implementing some budget reforms. smooth out our budget process so it is not a boom/bust kind of budget. reforming our pension system and retiree health care system so that they are stable. we do a decent job providing low-income housing. we do a terrible job providing housing for low or middle class and middle-class people, people who are working and paying taxes that we need to have here for a functioning economy, so i am looking for ways to try to fund that, particularly for essential employees like teachers, nurses, first responders. projects coming u

. >> well, for dcyf, we have a citizen advisory committee and we are engaging them, particularly the may 3rd event. we're hoping some of our cac members would be able to be there so they can also learn about both funds. i would be more than happy to come back to this committee or to meet with supervisors and commissioners individually and find out how we can work together. >> i think it would be good to reach out to members of our board as well to see if any of us are interested in engaging in that conversation or at least having at least one one on one with dcyf, i know i would like to be engaged in this process, i have a lot of thoughts and feedback as well. hopefully i can engage too. i think there are a number of things that have come up in this committee. i will keep this item to the call of the chair so maybe we can hold this hearing from time to time since it's something we are proposing to put on the ballot next year. i think it's a good way for us to engage member s of the public and it's a good way for us to have a conversation piece. the last thing i will say about the in

as part of this process, dcyf is committed to funding agencies that serve youth and young adults, and encouraging groups like united players to provide management services to high risk and high at risk youth. the department of public works will increase its outreach to recruit youth to apply for the summer youth program. and as you know -- is committed to working in partnership with the mayors office in your office and violence prevention agencies to ensure that opportunities have the greatest impact possible. the recreation and parks dept. will be offering summer employment opportunities directly to at least 8 youth and young adults. in addition waiver shall be offered to families in need of financial support. we also have a strong emphasis on wraparound case management and resources for those who need an elevated level of service. the juvenile probation the partners collaborating with the superior court of california, ,the public defenders office in the center for juvenile criminal justice to provide comprehensive reentry case planning and aftercare services for youth returning to t

and this year we were not renewed for 21st century funds or dcyf funds. and we have 397 students enrolled in the after-school program but no funding. when we had funding we were the top-rated as far as attendance. and kendall is one of the students that benefited from the program. and we had 10 to 15 depending on the semester of the programs. >> i am kendall, and i am senior at balboa school. i have been going to the after-school program at balboa for four years. it's been a big benefit to the community. a lot of my friends would not be graduating if not for the after-school program. they have cyber high that provides tutoring, and they have programs to excel in math. and they have teachers that come in and help us, actual math teacher and not just computers. in addition we have a bunch of programs. we recently launched a 3-d printing program that is bringing 3-d technology into the hands of youth. and promoting engineering and education in our programs. we really need to fund this program. it was terrible without this program in the beginning of the year

typically that's not what my office does because dcyf does a lot more, but because we wanted to get to folks earlier, we took resources out of my budget to get to that area. the incumbent worker training is done with the department of video coalition and as we are done with the presentation, you will happy new year more about that. currently we have 150 students enrolled. so we currently have all of those students who will be done with those various trainings by the end of summer, but i will talk of about of that 150 we do have 25 hard place ments so far meaning that we have been able to place them. this slide is showing you the breakdown of the dollars around the fund that go we received. so you can see how to funding laid out for us. the other thing i think that's important to know about h 1b grant is the whole point of h 1b visas is a lot of companies use that to bring workers in. they are sending a message that they want us, the united states as a whole because these are federal grants, to have an opportunity to set up training systems that we can grow our own and because at the ti
