                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. RANDY FORBES

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 24, 2009

  Mr. FORBES. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3293, the Labor, Health 
and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman J. Randy Forbes
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)--Health 
Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Children's Hospital of The King's 
Daughters Health System
  Address of Requesting Entity: 500 Discovery Drive, Chesapeake, 
Virginia 23320 USA
  Description of Request: Provides $200,000 to assist in the building 
of a centralized multi-specialty children's health center in the 
Norfolk, Virginia area. Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters 
Health System (CHKD) is the only freestanding children's hospital in 
the Commonwealth and the region's sole source of exclusively pediatric 
inpatient and outpatient care. As such, it furthers HRSA's mission of 
promoting access to vital health services. The current, scattered CHKD 
locations create access concerns due to the fragmentation of the 
services. CHKD will build a permanent home in Chesapeake to house 
outpatient services, and the center will serve the growing pediatric 
population and expansive geography that are the hallmarks of the 
region.
  Requesting Member: Congressman J. Randy Forbes
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)--Health 
Facilities and Services
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Hopewell, Virginia
  Address of Requesting Entity: 300 N. Main Street, Hopewell, Virginia 
23860 USA
  Description of Request: Provides $257,000 to consolidate multiple 
city social services agencies into one building to reduce costs.
  Requesting Member: Congressman J. Randy Forbes
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA)--Substance Abuse Treatment
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Chesterfield County, Virginia
  Address of Requesting Entity: 9901 Lori Road, Chesterfield, Virginia 
23832 USA
  Description of Request: Provides $143,000 to support the Dual 
Treatment Track (DTT), which is a pretrial diversion program for non-
violent defendants that suffer from both a mental illness and substance 
abuse addiction (federally defined as a vulnerable population). The 
program uses ``best practice'' models to divert individuals from the 
local jail who are of minimal threat to the community, yet in serious 
need of both substance abuse and mental health services. The DTT 
program provides benefits for everyone involved in the criminal justice 
and mental health systems. It reduces the burden of specialized care 
that the jail is forced to provide. It gives the court a new tool in 
dealing with a population that is traditionally difficult to 
effectively sentence.
  Requesting Member: Congressman J. Randy Forbes
  Bill Number: H.R. 3293
  Account: Employment and Training Administration (ETA)--Training & 
Employment Services (TES)
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Chesapeake, Virginia
  Address of Requesting Entity: 306 Cedar Road, Chesapeake, Virginia 
23322 USA
  Description of Request: Provides $250,000 to create a community 
service model for increasing citizen accessibility to workforce 
training and education resources. This initiative would form a 
partnership with Chesapeake Library, Economic Development, and Social 
Services, Tidewater Community College, Opportunity, Inc., and 
Chesapeake Adult Continuing Education to provide training and education 
resources to citizens in an effort to help them secure employment.
