Scope of Work
The Scope of Work under this Activity shall consist of the provision of literacy services to
homeless families who are residing in transitional housing in the City of Redding who do not
read at the 6th grade reading level.
Community Development Block Grant funds shall be utilized for staff costs, training and
facility overhead. This assistance shall assist the Laubach Literacy Council in breaking the life
cycle of poverty through education, thereby enhancing the family's ability to overcome
inadequate shelter, health care, safety and nutrition. Functional illiteracy is a major barrier to
employment opportunities and by extension, the ability to secure shelter or meet basic life
sustaining needs.
The Agency shall provide training to volunteers who serve as tutors to basic literacy students.
Materials and books shall be provided to students to enable them to participate in the
program.
Approximately 70 City of Redding families shall be receiving this service during the contract
period. This includes adults with reading skills below the 6th grade reading level, and non-
English speaking students who are learning to read English as a second language. The goal
of the program is to bring all students to a reading level above 6th grade.
Provisions and Services
PROVIDER shall be responsible for the following:
A. Training and development of volunteers to provide tutoring services to basic literacy
students.
B. Assess adults and children to determine literacy needs. Once assessment is complete,
match with appropriate tutor and provide needed resources.
C. Provide colored overlays to adults and children with Scotopic Sensitivity/Irlen Syndrome.
D. Provision of office/training space necessary to implement the literacy program, as well
as transportation assistance to bring clients to training space.
E. Submission of monthly reports to the City outlining service levels broken down by
various categories specified by the City. The necessary forms will be supplied by the
City.
F. Provider will seek out and apply for all sources of funding currently available to be used
to supplement CDBG funds in the continued operation of the Literacy Training Program.
