We live in very challenging and transitional times, so much that we often miss opportunities to appreciate the people in the city that we love so dearly. After careful review of the proposed American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)project list, I must say that I was extremely disappointed when I didn't see any allocation for social services.Although the proposed projects are much needed and sits high on our priority list,I contend that a small percentage of these funds could be used in one of the following ways: 1. Small Business Matching Grants (i) Women owned and operated business (ii).Relief for small businesses in West Oaks Mall (iii)Attracting small community-based business (iv)Supporting local non-profit organizations 2. School Based Programs (i) PTA (ii) SAC (iii)School based programs(e.g.,tutoring,reading, and math programs) (iv)Extra-curricular activities for Middle and High School Students 3. Youth Programs (i) Local programs that support the education on civics (ii) After school care (iii)Youth Sports Programs 4. Social Services (i) Help with rent (ii) Help for homelessness (iii)Help with utility bills City of Ocoee • 150 N Lakeshore Drive • Ocoee, Florida 34761 Phone: (407) 905-3100 •www.ocoee.org LA Ocoee Florida Commissioner George Oliver III District 4 Although these are just a few opportunities, there are many more that could be mentioned.
