Mayor Newsom Lauds President Obama for Extension of Jobs Now in Proposed Budget
February 6th, 2010
San Francisco, CA – In his weekly YouTube update, Mayor Newsom applauded President Obama for including an extension of the program that funds San Francisco’s JobsNow initiative in his proposed budget.
“This is a huge win – a big deal,” said Mayor Newsom.
The Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Emergency Contingency Fund (TANF-ECF) which funds the JobsNow program is currently set to expire in September 2010. Newsom said San Francisco is still waiting for the U.S. Senate and Congress to include the program’s extension in the final federal jobs bill.
Interested JobsNow participants can apply to enroll by calling 1-877-JOB1NOW or 311 or by visiting the HSA website at www.jobsnowsf.org
