ages, in rural and urban areas, to attain the skills, knowledge, and
motivations, and secure the opportunities needed for them to become
fully self-sufficient.
The administration for Human Resources is centralized and controlled
through an Administrative Unit. The Administrative Unit functions
under the Executive Director and assists program directors in the
administrative function of their programs.
By combining administrative duties and assigning them to a unit
specifically designed to handle them, the Division's program
directors are free to run their programs, the administrative cost
for each program is reduced and more dollars reach the client
through increased services.

persons with no other means of transportation.
This system provides rides to and from job sites, Head
Start and other social service activities.

which address the needs of low-income seniors.
Area Agency on Aging

suggested. The meals are served at 23 different
locations throughout the county, with most rural sites
situated within local senior centers. The luncheons
provide not only a nutritious meal for the seniors, but

recreational and educational activities.

Welfare system and give them every opportunity to become a
part of the educated, trained, and skilled workforce.
Assessment, testing, counseling, planning, training,
education, child care and transportion are all provided
under this plan.
B. Data Summary of Population to be Served:
Weld County covers an area of 4,004 square miles. Within the County
there are 28 cities/towns and 18 unincorporated communities. The 1980
U. S. Census shows that Weld County' s population is at 123,439 or up 38%
from the 1970 census of 89,297. The City of Greeley shows a 27%
increase over the 1970 census, up from 39,902 to 53,006. Attachment I
identifies the General Population Characteristics and illustrates the
11% population growth in Weld County since the 1980 census was
conducted.
900131
To provide a summary of the low-income population to be served by the
Division of Human Resources, three (3) major statistical data areas will
be covered: employment, welfare caseload, and seniors.
1. Employment
Attachment II provides an Estimated Labor Market Data Summary -
Fiscal Year 1987. This chart estimates that 23,900 individuals will
be unemployed during the year. In addition there is an estimated
21,900 individuals below poverty line.
2. Social Services Caseload
The Weld County Department of Social Services ' monthly caseload
status report is shown on Attachment III identifying the caseload
status as of December 31, 1986, and a comparison to the previous
year.
3. Senior Citizens
The 1980 U. S. Census identifies the elderly population at 14,984
for Weld County. Attachment IV outlines the age groupings.
The Senior Nutrition Program statistics indicate that 66% of the
seniors who participate in the congregate meals are low-income.
A special report of the National Commission for Manpower Policy
entitled "The Utilization of the Older Worker" describes reasons why
the role of the older worker is likely to be reassessed in the years
ahead. These include changing attitudes towards aging, health and
self realization, passage of the federal and state Anti-Age
Discrimination Act, public discussion on increasing the eligibility
age under Social Security from 65 to 68, inflationary pressures
requiring workers to stay on the job to protect their standard of
living, and demographic changes resulting in the graying of the
labor force.
Statistic Reports on Older Americans, October, 1980, states that
only 2% of persons of 60+ years old who were not in the labor force
in 1979 expressed a desire for a job. In Weld County that could
mean that 300 60+ person desire some type of work. However, the
article also points out that another 28% did not think they could
get a job for a variety of personal or job marketors. An
additional 4,200 workers 60+ in Weld County could potentially be
interested in employment.
A summary of 1980 labor force census characteristics (see following)
show that 8,587 females and 4,938 males 55+ in Weld County are
either classified as unemployed or not in the labor force. The
majority of these are not listed in the labor force (67%) , however,
many of these may be classified as discouraged workers who have
given up and have withdrawn from the work force.
Census figures on the poverty level status for 55+ in Weld County
currently are not available in print, however, 1,979 60+ Weld County
elderly are listed below the poverty level and 5,289 60+ are
classified as 125% of poverty level .
9G0131
Add to this the fact that of the approximate 1,400 persons on the
Weld County AFDC caseload, 20% or 260 are women 55 years and older,
a strong case can be made for opportunities for supplementary income
from part-time temporary, or full=time employment.
Labor Force Characteristics for Weld County
1980 Census
Female 55-64 4,550 Total
1,730 Employed
50 Unemployed
2,770 Not in Labor Force
Female 65 & Over 6,227 Total
460 Employed
33 Unemployed
5,734 Not in Labor Force
Male 55-64 4,262 Total
3,064 Employed
147 Unemployed
1,051 Not in Labor Force
Male 65 & Over 4,616 Total
876 Employed
27 Unemployed
3,713 Not in Labor Force
From our experience, we have noted that significant barriers to
employment generally fall within the following older worker groups:
. Older workers , generally women, who have suddenly found
themselves in an economic crisis due to loss of a spouse. These
women, or displaced homemakers, generally have few marketable
skills.
. Older workers, generally retired men, whose work experience has
been with jobs requiring physical labor and who are not able to
continue working at strenuous jobs for health reasons.
. Older workers, both men and women, who know the basics of a
profession or trade, but are difficult to place due to outdated
job skills.
. Older workers between the ages of 55-60, who have been laid-off
due to current economic conditions who have no retirement
benefits and need full-time work as quickly as possible.
900131
III. Budget:
The proposed budget for the Community Services Block Grant is detailed
on Attachment V.
A. In-Kind
The Division of Human Resources will document at least 20% in-kind to
match this grant. This will occur through the volunteer hours and
mileage accumulated from various programs within the Division.
B. Budget Narrative
This grant is primarily used to help support the Project Plan identified
for administration, Senior Aide Coordinators, Senior Aide Transporta-
tion, Weld Child Care Network, the Centennial Developmental Services,
Inc./Schaffer, the Mini-Bus Transportation Program, and the Welfare
Diversion component as described under proposed activities and services.
1. Other Resources Committed to These Activities:
The Division of Human Resources has many funding sources which are
committed to benefiting the low-income of Weld County. Due to the
organizational structure of the Division, more client dollars are
made available to alleviating the causes of poverty.
Sources which provide funding to the programs in the Division
include the following:
United States Department Colorado Department of
of Labor Social Services
Governor's Job Training Office Weld County
Department of Health Volunteers
and Human Services Department of Energy
United States Department
of Agriculture
Department of Local Affairs
Due to the fact that budgets are not final for all funding sources,
the FY 1990 actual dollars are not provided.
2. Project Evaluation:
Monitoring and evaluation reports are completed on a quarterly basis
covering those programs for which CSBG funding is being provided.
To assist in the development of the evaluation reports, each program
maintains on a monthly basis or quarterly, reports which includes
the following information:
. Number of clients served, broken out by age, race, and sex (if
applicable to the program) .
. A brief description of the activities participants were involved
in or received services from.
. An estimate of the cost per client served broken out by program
if applicable.
900131

toward meeting the planned objectives.
The Quarterly reports are submitted with the financial quarterly
reports when the funding source requires it.

The reports will utilize the CSBG Project Performance Report
Narrative Summary forms.
