Honorable President

Enterprise Training and Development Program in the amount of $60,000.00. MLCDC will use
the CDBG funds for administration of a program providing training, technical assistance,
networking, and general support to economically disadvantaged persons to assist them in
developing micro-enterprises and becoming self-sufficient. This Agreement covers the time
period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.
This Project is included in the FY 2017 Consolidated Submission for Community Planning

$60,000.00 CDBG Grant and $213,840.00 in the form of private financing.
MLCDC has demonstrated success in administering its Micro-Enterprise Program. The project
is recognized in the community as an innovative safety-net resource for individuals displaced in
the traditional job market and as a means to substantially improve a family's financial
disposition.
Outcomes projected for the CDBG funds in 2018:
1. Total number of individuals served —480
2. Number of individuals participating in small business classes/training —80
3. Number of individuals graduating from small business classes/training —60

The Micro-Enterprise Program is an innovative approach to assist in providing training and
creating new employment opportunities for businesses with five or fewer employees, one of
which must be the owner.
This program will provide services in both Spanish and English.
Your favorable consideration of this Resolution will be appreciated.
