South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />him $15 than to have him go out here and rob <br />somebody so he can get some diapers. Now, <br />when I say that, I’m not just being dramatic. <br />I’m talking about the reality, and it happens <br />every day. And people get hurt because of it. <br />So, when we ask for the kind of funding that <br />we ask for, it isn’t begging. And it isn’t <br />asking for a handout. It’s a hand up for <br />people who need a hand up. And we use it <br />right. We’re not wasting the money. We’re <br />putting it where…and anybody can come and <br />see any time they want to. So, thank you. <br /> <br />Oh, there’s one other thing. We are working <br />with WorkOne. WorkOne told us to tell you <br />that we are going to get a contract with them <br />that will help us to work with youth as well. <br />They couldn’t get it into writing last night <br />when we met with them. And, to tell you <br />that they are excited about it! They are <br />happy to be able to partner with Project <br />Impact. <br /> <br />MS. LINDA CARTER. We received our <br />letter saying we are on the ETC employment <br />list for WorkOne. So, we have at this point <br />almost twenty youth that are approved and <br />ready to start the program through WorkOne. <br />We are on their ETC list and training is ready <br />to go. We just need a little assistance to <br />implement a few things. <br /> <br />MR. WALLACE WILLILAMS. I’d like to <br />see our community be more preventative <br />instead of reactive type thing. What happens <br />is we let something happen, and then we <br />react to it as far as sending a person to jail or <br />disciplining them for doing what they did <br />instead of preventing it before it happens. <br />Set up programs like this to help people not <br />get into what they’re doing. It’s kind of like <br />your car. If you keep your car up, it runs a <br /> 16 <br /> <br />
