Program Description, Background, and Need Sample Clauses

Program Description, Background, and Need. More than 3,000 SC teens give birth each year. South Carolina has the 11th highest teen birth rate in the nation. Young women who become pregnant in their teens and early 20s face obstacles that impact their ability to earn a livable wage. Research suggests that less than 50% of teen mothers finish high school. Without a high school diploma or equivalent, teen mothers are faced with financial insecurity, lack of employment and career growth, lack of access to quality child care, and homelessness or inadequate and unstable housing. Children born to young mothers are more likely to be premature or have a low birthweight, have lower educational performance, and are less likely to graduate. They are more likely to suffer from child abuse, live in poverty, and are three times more likely to be homeless or be removed from parental care. They are more likely to become teen parents themselves, and male children are more likely to be incarcerated. Teen parenting is part of the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Pregnant and parenting youth need a special combination of services to support their journey toward becoming self-sufficient parents that cannot be met in a conventional homeless shelter. Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Programs of South Carolina (FCP) has a 125-year history of providing safe shelter and comprehensive services to homeless pregnant and parenting youth. These services include meeting the youth’s basic needs for food and clothing; case management; medical and behavioral health care; educational and employment support; life skills training; parenting education; linkages to other community support systems; and where possible, family reunification.

  • Program Description The employer agrees to provide a vision benefit to eligible employees and dependents. The vision benefit provided by the State shall have an employee co-payment of $10 for the comprehensive annual eye examination and $25 for materials.

  • System Description The wet detention basin is designed to trap 80% of sediment in runoff and maintain pre-development downstream peak flows. The basin has two forebays (smaller ponds) located at the low end of two grass xxxxxx. In addition to runoff conveyance, the grass xxxxxx also allow infiltration and filtering of pollutants, especially from smaller storms. The forebays are each 4 feet deep. They are connected to the main pool by 18 and 24-inch metal pipes that outlet onto a rock chute. The forebays will trap coarse sediments in runoff, such as road sands, thus reducing maintenance of the main basin. The main pool will trap the finer suspended sediment. To do this, the pond size, water level and outlet structures must be maintained as specified in this Agreement (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The main basin receives runoff from a 67.1 acre drainage area (41.2 acres within the subdivision and 25.9 acres off-site drainage coming from the east). During high rainfall or snow melt events, the water level will temporarily rise and slowly drain down to the elevation of the control structure. The water level is controlled by a 12-inch concrete pipe extending through the berm in the northwest corner of the basin (see Figures 1 and 3). On the face of the 12-inch pipe, there is metal plate with a 3-inch drilled hole (orifice) with stone in front of it. This orifice controls the water level and causes the pond to temporarily rise during runoff events. Washed stone (1- 2” diameter) is placed in front of the orifice to prevent clogging. High flows may enter the grated concrete riser or flow over the rock lined emergency spillway. “As-built” construction drawings of the basin, showing actual dimensions, elevations, outlet structures, etc. will be recorded as an addendum(s) to this agreement within 60 days after [Municipality Name] accepts verification of construction from the project engineer.
