'!he concept is realized through sixteen Service Delivery Areas (SDAs), each with a Private Industry COW1cil (PIC). The PICs consisting of business and local camnmity leaders, are responsible to identify enployrrent and training needs, to plan programs to rreet these needs, and to oversee their oPeration. Four Service Delivery Areas, 1, 2, 3, arrl 4, are oPerating in the Ninth Congressional District. In addition the Job Training Program funds statewide programs that benefit the District. Grant awards in the amoW1t of $12,789,328 were made to specific service providers within the District in 1984. '!his amoW1t does not include matching funds that the local PICs must provide. Also, another $2,719,788 was awarded in 1984 to statewide agencies, such as the Georgia Depa.rt:m2nt of Labor. The statewide programs that serve the District are: flTploYIrent Training Assistance for Dislocated \'hrkers (Title III), State lliucation Coordination arrl Grants, am the Older Workers Program. Since the incidence of poverty and the Percentage of people over 35 in the District are above average for the state, these programs are i.rtp:>rtant to the inth Congressional District. 9-35 JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM SERVICE DELIVERY AREAS ~ Ninth Congressional District County Recipients Habersham Ltmpkin Towns 'Ibta1 APPENDIX C District Nine Grant Awards FISCAL YEAR 1982 Type of Grant CDBG-Sing1e Activity CDBG-Mu1ti-Activity CDBG-Sing1e Activity ArrolU1t $ 126,700 401,200 340,000 $ 867,900 ~cipal Recipients Baldwin Dalton Gainesville 'Ibta1 District 'Ibtal-1982 CDBG-Sing1e Activity CDBG-Continuing Cooprehensive CDBG-Continuing Carprehensive $ 301,831 1,000,000 1,000,000 $2,301,831 $3,169,731 9-37 eounty Recipients Banks Cherokee Dawson Gordon Qo1innett Hall Pickens Rabun Rabun 'I'owns/Union Union \'tli.tfield Total 'cipal Recipients CCrtrrerce Dalton Gainesville Gainesville Gillsville Hartwell Helen wnia 'Ibccoa 'Ibtal District 'Ibtal-1983 FISCAL YEAR 1983 Type of Grant Jail Irrproverrent Jail Improvement CDBG-Single Activity Jail Irrproverrent Jail Irrproverrent CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Housing Jail Irrproverrent Jail Improvement CDBG-Single Activity Jail Irrproverrent Arrount $ 4,480 9,027 103,395 7,147 20,000 (Part) 1 400,000 186,000 251,000 4,377 8,207 350,000 12,505 Sl,336,138 + 2 CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Continuing Comprehensive CDBG-Continuing Comprehensive CDBG-Economic oevelopnent CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Housing CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Single Activity CDBG-Multi-Activity $ 400,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 400,000 224,000 400,000 203,700 399,593 700,000 $4,727,293 56,063,431 + Grants awarded to agencies that serve nore than one Congressional District are indicated by (Part) after the grant anount to~ ~ant awards to a district do not include (Part) grants because &peel.hc arrounts to each district cannot be readily determined.
