Dear Congressperson,
I am calling to express my strong support for the extension of the TANF Emergency Relief Fund. San Francisco and other California's counties are using these dollars aggressively to create subsidized jobs helping both families and employers during this critical time in our nation's economic recovery.
As of May 5, California's counties created nearly 19,000 jobs using the Fund. More than 2,600 of these jobs are in San Francisco. Not only does the bill's funding of $2.5 billion in FY 2011 give our private sector employers assurances that this very successful initiative will continue, the Act will also enable counties to continue to access funding enacted under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for jobs filled by September 30. Extending these investments allows counties to continue to develop and maintain a robust subsidized jobs program without interruption.
Thank you for supporting this important bill to the economic recovery of California and our nation.
Sincerely,
<Name>
<Address>
