The Office
of Federal Program Development |
| |
The mission of the Office of Federal Program Development is to
assist the federally funded programs and department of the Police
Jury (the Calcasieu Business and Career Solutions Center, Housing,
the Office of Community Services, and the Workforce Investment
Board) in the development and coordination of quality services and
programs that empower individuals, businesses, and community
stakeholders in promoting self-sufficiency and economic development
within Calcasieu Parish.
Additionally, the Office of Federal Program Development works with
local non-profit, community, civic, and faith-based organizations
(such as Volunteers of America, the Southwestern Louisiana Homeless
Coalition, and the Volunteer Center of Southwest Louisiana) in
leveraging resources that maximize federal and state funds received
by the Police Jury to benefit the ultimate end users, the citizens
of Calcasieu Parish.
The Office of Federal Program Development is also responsible for
ensuring compliance with federal and state laws governing federally
funded programs and departments. The Coordinator of Federal Program
Development serves as the Parish Equal Opportunity Officer (EOO) for
federal programs and provides direct supervision over the Housing
Department.
