Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires that an MOU be developed and executed between the Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) and La Cooperativa Campesina de California (La Cooperativa) to establish an agreement pertaining to the administration of Department of Labor National Farmworker Jobs (DOL-NFPJ) Housing Grant. The Yolo County Workforce Development Area (YCWDA) functions as the LWDB, locally known as the Workforce Innovation Board (WIB) throughout Yolo County. This MOU represents an agreement between the WIB and La Cooperativa.

This MOU will support YCWDA and La Cooperativa’s  respective goals and define their individual roles and responsibilities in achieving the policy objectives of reaching migrant seasonal farmworker (MSFW) to assist them with Housing Funding through the member agencies that compose the Statewide Farmworker Network of La Cooperativa Campesina de California.

The goal of La Cooperativa is to provide Housing Assistance through California Human Development - Yolo County with the partnership of the YCWDA. To accomplish this, the Parties will engage in practices and processes that ensure access to assistance for MSFW.
• Work with the local La Cooperativa Sub-Recipient California Human Development - Yolo County
• Refer MSFW for Housing Assistance services.
• Refer MSFW as well as non-MSFW for additional services.
