<br />PROPOSAL <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Expansion of existing WIC facility <br /> <br />AMOUNT REQUESTED: $50,000 <br /> <br />The Paris, Texas, WIC Program respectfully requests funds for <br />the purpose of expanding the City/County Health Department <br />facility, a part af which is occupied by WIC, ta better serve a <br />growing and successful program in this area. <br /> <br />Currently, the WIC program is housed in a small, two-room area <br />within the City/County Health Department building at 740 6th SW. <br />We accupy 495 square feet. It has been determined that a <br />building expansion ta suit our needs may be implemented at.a <br />cast of $50 per square faat, for a total cost of $50,000 for a <br />1,000 square faot expansion. <br /> <br />, <br />I <br /> <br />DETERMINATION <br /> <br />The conclusion that expansion of the existing facility is not <br />only necessary, but the sole salutian to address our growing <br />needs was the result of a great deal of research and relocation <br />attempts which were unsuccessful. <br /> <br />Knowing that proximity ta the City/County Health Department is a <br />must for our successful operation, with services being rendered <br />by them and by WIC that are interrelated for our clients, we <br />saught locations nearby that might meet our expansion needs. <br />There is na rental property available in the area for WIC. We <br />found that no landlord would tolerate the traffic (in excess of <br />1,000 persons a month) that WIC generates. <br /> <br />We enlisted the voluntary services of a local architect far <br />preliminary design af a suitable expansion, and found that for <br />$50,000 we cauld expand the existing facility with no need. for <br />additional property acquisition on the part of the city or <br />county. We have obtained approval from both governing bodies to <br />pursue this expansion. <br /> <br />STATEMENT OF N~EP <br /> <br />Since the WIC program was implemented in Paris in 1986, we have <br />grown to serve a certified case load af 1,132 persons, with July <br />participants numbering 991. We have a potential case load of <br />approximately 4,000, according to USDA estimates. We are <br />currently doing certification three days a week and group <br />classes two days a week. We occasionally schedule certificatian <br />and mid-point screening between classes. We offer individual <br />counseling, perform blood work and weigh and measure clients an <br />a regular basis. On staff we have a director, twa aides and one <br />LVN who will come on board this month. <br /> <br />rV!IIDIT. <br />
