It should not be used to reflect administrative/indirect costs. I. 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 following 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 activitiy, 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.

Direct Operating Transportation: $96,290.00 Pays for general operating costs of providing rural senior minibus services.

This increases the availability of transportation for the rural low-income seniors and improves their life style. 4 III. COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN: As required in the reauthorized CSBG Act, please answer all 5 questions. Answer each one on a separate page. 1. Community Needs Assessment (including food needs): Our State office must secure from each CSBG eligible entity, as a condition to receipt of funding, a community action plan that incl a community-needs assessment for the community served. This community-needs assessment ma coordinated with community-needs assessments conducted for other programs. 2. Service Delivery System: Please describe the service delivery system for services provided or coordinated with CSBG funds that target low-income individuals and families within your service area. 3. Linkages: A. Describe how linkages will be developed to fill identified gaps in services, through the provision of information, referrals, case management, and follow up consultations. B. Describe how linkages will be established between government and other social service programs to assure effective delivery of service to low-income individuals and to avoid duplication of such services. 4. Coordination with other Public and Private Resources: Please describe how CSBG funds will be coordinated with other public and private resources. 5. Innovative Community and Neighborhood-based Initiatives: Please describe how CSBG funds will be used to support innovative community and neighborhood-based initiatives related to purposes of CSBG, which may include fatherhood initiatives and other initiatives with the goal of strengthening families and encouraging effective parenting. 5 Community Action Plan 1. Community Needs Assessment(including food needs): For the Program year(May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002), 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 Census information and estimates from the Colorado Division of Local Government. Together, these sources have shown a continuing need for transportation services, especially for rural seniors and the developmentally disabled. See Attachments A, B, C, E, and F. 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 County's 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,Y.C.P.I, 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. 13 • Transportation Forty-five individuals (12.5%) stated that they don't drive. When asked if they currently experienced times when they needed to go somewhere but had to stay home because they had no `means of transportation,"16 (4.4%) of the respondents replied yes. While only 3.4% of those age 60-65 have had to stay home on occasion due to lack of transportation, e- g "" '', st rngga--FO ERP-ei'tifffe IIMMaskUnitnifeelbrElders of color are nearly twice as likely as white elders to have ur r Ft transportation needs (7.3% for elders of color as compared with 3.9% for white seniors). Being below poverty-level makes respondents nearly four times more likely than respondents above poverty level to encounter situations in which they cannot obtain the transportation they need (12.1% vs. 3.3%).

Although Hispanic • ethnicity was not subject to direct modification, the M.A.R.S. procedures • resulted in occasional minor changes in the Hispanic count, so occasional but minor discrepancies with the original Hispanic counts may be observed. =._��a-.A.��/� ter.--...-- 1998 estimates and 2003 projections produced by Claritas Inc.
