Question:

Provide information on the cost of serving all youth who apply for Teenswork! (summer youth employment program).

Response:

In 2016, DCHS received 250 applications, and 153 youth participated. In 2017, 223 applied and DCHS enrolled 170 youth due to additional funding received in the FY18 budget. Based on previous years and FY19 applications, the average number of youth who may be served by Teenswork! program is 200 youth. Increasing the number of youth served to 200 would be an increase of $60,379 over the previous year.
