The Volunteer of America staff would be trained by the City's Block Grant staff to understand the intent and purpose of the Bonus Block Grant Program, which is to give low income • families a greater choice in housing and the ability to live in non-concentrated areas. The program will be monitered to see how effectively it gives an opportunity for low- income families to move from concentrated areas to non-concentrated areas. The number of families served, locations, and results of the program will be reported. The priority of the funding will be for low-income families living in concentrated areas moving to non-concentrated areas. The program will be coordinated with the Everett Housing Author- ities Section 8, Existing Program.
