 (3) Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.-The 1962 fiscal year saw
the establishment of the first Sheltered Workshop in the Virgin Is-
lands. The Sheltered Workshop was an experimental project made
possible through a Federal grant in the amount of $17,600 matched
by $4,400 of local funds. The shop, located at the Herbert E. Grigg
Home for the Aged in St. Croix, operated with a professional staff
of two people. Designed to serve 15 persons, it provided service to
nine during the year. They made reed baskets, fish scale beads and
earrings, floor mats and place mats. Almost all the raw materials
used were secured from local sources.
 The year ended the downward trend of caseloads which started
three years before. This year saw an increase in the number of cases
referred for vocational rehabilitation services. Twenty-seven new
active cases were added to the 59 on hand at the beginning of the
period (July, 1961), making a total active caseload of 86 for the
period. Of this number, 31 were provided services and placed on
jobs. This left a total of 55 active cases at the close of the year.
Of those 55 cases, 14 were ready for employment. The number of
cases rehabilitated this fiscal year exceeded the previous year by ten.
 Plans were underway to conduct a comprehensive survey of voca-
tional rehabilitation needs with a view toward making a more positive
effort in finding and assisting all potential clients. The United States
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation had expressed vital interest in the
project.
