GRANTEE INFORMATION AND FEDERAL OBJECTIVES: Check the Federal Objective(s)your agency activity(ies)will be addressing. For each activity, LIST ONLY ONE Federal Objective. II. BUDGET FORMAT: Complete your budget in as much detail as possible utilizing the provided format. This information will be used for monitoring and performance evaluation. A. PERSONNEL COSTS Indicate the CSBG dollar amount allocated to each position(s) funded including fringe benefits. Indicate the percentage (%) of the person's time paid with CSBG funds. B. DIRECT OPERATING COSTS Direct program costs can be identified with delivery of a particular project, service, or activity undertaken to achieve an objective of the grant program. For CSBG, these purposes and eligible activities are specified in the reauthorizing statute and reflected in the national ROMA performance measures. Direct program costs are incurred for the service delivery and management components within a particular program or project. Therefore, direct costs include expenditures on some activities with administrative qualities, including salaries and benefits of program staff and managers, equipment, training, conferences,travel, and contracts, as long as those expenses relate specifically to a particular program or activity, not to the general administration of the organization. C. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS also referred to as INDIRECT/OVERHEAD Administrative costs are equivalent to typical indirect costs or overhead, As distinguished from administration or management expenditures that qualify as direct costs, administrative costs refer to central executive functions that do not directly support a specific project or service. Incurred for common objectives that benefit multiple programs administered by the grantee organization, or the organization as a whole, administrative costs are not readily assignable to a particular program funding stream. Rather, administrative costs relate to the general management of the grantee organization, such as strategic direction,Board development, executive director functions, accounting, budgeting, personnel,procurement, and legal services. D. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Please itemize the equipment you intend to purchase. For any Capitol Equipment costs, you are required to submit a narrative to describe equipment needed and your procurement process.

The highest number being 1,304. This number is used Employment Outcome Plan&Report Employment: Employment Services has just started re- tracking Monfort of Colorado for the low-income and unskilled Adult workforce. These reports that will track number of participants and number of hires. (Sandra, Jim, and Marie). During the month of January there were about 100 participants that registered. Therefore, 100*12 month= 1,200 for number of people served and estimating about 45 percent to be actual hires, making an estimated number of 540 hires. This may be low but due to the employment market the number of hires may be low, therefore it was estimated low. Case Management: Cari has this new position. She will have the intakes and the number needed for reports. As of March 1, 2002 her case load was 60, and therefore used that as the number of people served. Supportive Services: Dora is keeping track of these services. She stated on March 1, 2002 that they had over 150 people using these services. She estimated low and decided that we would serve at least 100 clients for the next FY. WELDCOS: The Weld County Senior Stations lists the number of Seniors that use this service. For 2000 the number was 883. 2001 reports were not done prior to submitting the grant, therefore we used 800 clients to be served. These reports are with , Dorothy and Bev in AAA Department. Transportation (MiniBus): We have installed the usage of new reports to give us accurate number of passengers. Therefore the number of 375 for people served is estimated. These new reports will be turned in to Bev in AAA, each month. Community Action Plan 1. Community Needs Assessment(including food needs): For the Program year(March 1, 2003 through February 29, 2004), Weld County is using the Weld County Area Agency on Aging Needs Assessments of Weld County Older Adults and The Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership, Inc. In addition,we have evaluated historical population trends for the County's seniors, using 2000 Census information and Community Transportation Magazine October 2002. Together, these sources have shown a continuing need for transportation services, especially for rural seniors and the developmentally disabled. See Attachments A-I. Current needs assessment for the employment segment of the CSBG grant request was derived from surveying Weld County applicants demographics for the 2000-2001 year ending(03/20/01). The majority of the tracked applicants (48.21% ) did not have either a high school diploma or G.E.D. and the majority ethnic group (73.17% ) was Hispanic. This demonstrates Weld Counts primary area of unmet employment needs: placing an unskilled minority adult in the labor force. See attachment G. Community Action Plan 2.&4. Service Delivery System and Coordination with other Public and Private Resources: Weld County Division of Human Services is a one stop service center for various Federal and State programs all targeted to low income at-risk individuals. This includes the children's program area,Family Educational Network of Weld County(FENWC),which oversees Head Start,Migrant Head Start, and Preschool. The Area Agency on Aging umbrellas several senior programs including Older American Act Programs, Single Entry Point and Supplemental Foods. The Employment Service Area has WIA Adult and Youth programs, Dislocated Workers,Employment First, TANF, Job Service, Americorp, and an Educational Computer Lab. All programs are targeted to low income at-risk individuals. CSBG funding fills the gaps in integrated services we currently provide. Community Action Plan 3. Linkages: A. Because we are a Human Services agency serving a low income in-need population, in various ways, we have developed many partnerships with other county agencies pursuing the same goals. With these linkages our Case Managers can refer clients who qualify for our programs as well as refer them to other agencies. Other agencies can refer their clients to Human Services as well. With this partnership clients will not have gaps in-between services. Our Case Managers always do follow up consultations of our clients. B. We currently work with Social Services, Weld Information&Referral Services (WIRS), primary and secondary educational systems as well as a host of non-profits in Weld County aimed at self-sufficiency for the citizens of our area. Since we track all of our clients we are able to avoid any duplication of services. Community Action Plan 5. Innovative Community and Neighborhood-based Initiatives: Since Weld County Division of Human Services is a one stop service center for various Federal and State programs, this gives initiatives for parents to address all needs. With CSBG funding, this program's goal can be achieved to strengthen family's with employment and educational opportunities, which will help parents become self sufficient. This along with the programs of Social Services can reach it goal of strengthening families and encourage effective parenting.
