Legislative; Consider a Request to Endorse Legislative Initiatives Proposed by Social Action Linking Together (SALT). Mr. Milde commented. Mr. Milde motioned, seconded by Mr. Dudenhefer, to adopt proposed Resolution R08-74. Discussion ensued.
The Voting Board tally was: Resolution R08-74 reads as follows:
A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES WHEREAS, the Board has previously supported legislative initiatives proposed by Social Action Linking Together (SALT), and has been requested to support its initiatives for 2008; and WHEREAS, the Board desires to go on record in support of these initiatives; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors on this the 15th day of January, 2008, that the Board hereby expresses its support for the following legislative initiatives supported by Social Action Liking Together (SALT): Rental Assistance. SALT joins the Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness in support of a pilot Rental Assistance Program. This program would provide funding to bridge the gap between one-third of a family’s income and the fair market cost of housing. Families, who could not otherwise afford independent housing such as women with children moving from welfare to work, or working families in shelters, would be priority targets in a 3-year pilot program. The program would provide time limited assistance to provide the stability families need to advance in their work and achieve full independence. As their wages increase, their rental assistance would decline. TANF Benefit Increase. Virginia families on Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) have received only one increase in their benefits over the past 23 years, a 10% increase in 2000. Meanwhile, inflation over that same period has equaled 93%. A family of three receives only $320 per month, less than a fourth of the federal property level. SALT urges a 15% increase in benefits for TANF recipients, to be funded primarily from a federal block grant, and the indexing of future benefits to annual increases in the cost of living. Transitional Assistance for Former Drug Offenders. SALT urges an end to the lifetime ban on TANF benefits for otherwise eligible individuals who have been convicted of drug-related felonies. In its 2005 session, the General Assembly enacted legislation to lift the lifetime ban that had prevented these ex-offenders (unlike persons convicted of any other crimes) from ever receiving food stamps, even after they had paid their debt to society. However, these individuals are still prevented from ever receiving TANF benefits. SALT believes it is critical to lift this lifetime ban as well, since it has the effect of punishing the ex-offender’s family and hindering the person’s successful re-entry into society upon release. Child Care Assistance. There is a desperate need for child care in Virginia. When affordable child care is unavailable, parents’ employment and economic independence are at risk. Under welfare reform, child care is a state responsibility; yet an average of 11,000 children were on the state’s waiting list during the past year, including 2,500 in Fairfax County alone. SALT has joined with over a dozen other organizations in the statewide Working Families Child Care Coalition to request a $7.1 million increase per year over a four-year span. This amount is urgently needed to ensure the health and well-being of families and assist them in attaining economic self-sufficiency.
