"If a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address the'prevention or elimination of slums or blight,"rigorous requirements described
in Appendix E of the"Program Guidelines"must be met
"If a proposed project activity is being undertaken to address an "urgent need"rather than to benefit low and moderate income families or to
prevent or eliminate slums or blight the applicant must attach a certification stating that the proposed activity is designed to meet other
community development needs that have arisen during the preceding 12-month period and have a particular urgency because existing conditions
pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community,and that other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs.
2. Describe how the estimates of low and moderate income persons were arrived at? Attach supporting
documentation. (Whenever possible, census data should be used in "area-wide benefit" projects to document
benefits to low/moderate income persons. Income surveys should only be used in rare circumstances and only with
prior approval from the Department. If you are considering conducting an income survey, please contact Becky
Picaso at (303) 866-2156 for information on the HUD-required methodology.)
3. If the proposed project includes a local selection process of beneficiaries (e.g.,housing rehabilitation),what local
procedures will be used to ensure that: a) benefits projected to be provided to low- and moderate-income persons
will actually be realized by such persons? b) beneficiaries will be selected through an open and equitable process?
and c) greatest needs are addressed?

All clients are screened by Human Resources, Job Service, or Headstart
programs for eligibility of services funded by the Department of Labor or
Health and Human Services. The figures are based upon actual count of
persons eligible.

3 . If the proposed project includes a local selection process of
beneficiaries (e.g. , housing rehabilitation) , what local
procedures will be used to ensure that: a) benefits projected
to be provided to low and moderate income persons will
actually be realized by such persons? b) beneficiaries will be
selected through an open and equitable process? and c)
greatest needs are addressed?
Weld County currently operates several Federal/State programs
targeted at the low income, most-in-need population. Many of
the clients selected for using the Weld County Human Resource
Foundation' s Family Education Center would be gleaned from
these programs .
The primary users of the Foundations facility would be
enrolled from Weld County' s Employment and Training Programs
aimed at the low income/at-risk population. The target groups
from this area would include; AFDC clients from the New
Directions Program (JOBS) , Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
eligible clients, and Food Stamp recipients enrolled in the
Employment First Job Search Program.
The Employment and Training programs -require that all clients
meet with a case manager who assesses and tests them, and from
the results builds an employability development plan to set
goals for each client. By the results of the testing and
personal assessment, a case manager can decide if the client
would benefit from the basic educational training or any other
training to make themselves job ready. The case manager would
then enroll the client into the appropriate training classes
at the Human Resources Foundation Family Education Center.
Each client has equal opportunity.
Other primary users of the Human Resource Foundation training
facility would be parents of children enrolled in Weld
County' s Head Start programs . Within the Head Start Programs,
the Parent Involvement Coordinator's main task is to get
parents involved with their childrens ' educational process .
Parents can be intimidated and restrict their involvement if
their basic educational level is limited. This volunteer
program gives them an opportunity to eliminate that obstacle.
To a lesser degree (5%) , other groups could also contract with
Weld County Human Resource Foundation to use the facility.
The contracting agencies include; Area Agency on Aging could
utilize the Center for Retirement seminars open to the general
public of Weld County, private companies or agencies are open
to contract with the Foundation to provide basic educational
training and enhancement to their employees or clients, Family
Educational Network of Weld County could maximize the use of
the child care room by bringing in for-pay child care clients
from County employees or other sources, school districts could
contract for an alternative education slots .
930290
3 . Continued
It is critical for the classroom to be located adjacent to the
Human Resources offices to afford the clients the best and
most efficient access to case managers, parent involvement
coordinators , and the Weld County school districts; thus
becoming a truly multipurpose facility.
D. OTHER PROJECT INFORMATION
1 . What are the specific goals of the project? Why is the
project needed?
The Weld County Human Resource Foundation will construct a
Family Education Center which will provide a site to train and
enhance skill and knowledge to the residents of Weld County.
The specific goals are based on the specific client groups
served.
To the Employment and Training clients served, the
Foundation' s specific intent is to give all clients the
educational and training opportunities they are lacking,
enabling them to become productive members of the work force
without being supplemented by public assistance.
The Weld County Human Resource Foundation Family Education
Center will house a computer learning lab with several
software packages set up to assess and enhance a clients basic
educational skill level . The computer lab will operate in
conjunction with training classes i .e. ) GED instruction,
motivational training, life skills training and job
seeking/job keeping techniques .
The training is set up on a client by client basis so that the
training and educational needs of each client are met, in
order to make them as job ready as possible.
In the case of the Head Start parents served, several early
education studies have shown that the educational levels of
the child parallel the educational level of the mother.
Thus , in cooperation with the Head Start programs, the
Foundation is specifically pushing to involve parents in the
childs educational process . Sometimes, this will mean
enhancing the parents basic educational level so they in turn
can help with the education of their own children. The
training lab can do this in an unintimidating environment.

County resources, but they are insufficient to fund the entire
project.

1974, as amended, this Citizen Participation Plan is hereby adopted to ensure
that the citizens of Weld County, particularly persons of low and moderate income
residing in slum and blight areas and in areas in which CDBG funds are proposed
to be used, are provided the opportunity and encouraged to participate in the
planning and implementation of CDBG-funded activities.
PUBLIC HEARING
Public hearings will be the primary means of obtaining citizen views and
responding to proposals and questions related to community development and
housing needs, proposed CDBG activities and past CDBG performance.
Prior to submitting a CDBG application to the State, the County of Weld will
conduct at least one public hearing to identify community development and housing
needs, including the needs of low and moderate income persons, as well as other
needs in the community that might be addressed through the CDBG program, and to
review proposed CDBG activities and the past performance of the County of Weld
in carrying out its CDBG responsibilities. In the event CDBG funds are granted
by the State, the County of Weld will conduct at least one additional public
hearing to allow citizens to review and comment on its performance in carrying
out its CDBG program.
A formal public notice will be published in a newspaper of general circulation
in the area at least five days prior to such public hearings. A public notice
will also be posted in the Weld County Courthouse and in other places frequented
by the public, especially low and moderate income persons and persons benefiting
from or affected by proposed CDBG activities. As circumstances warrant and as
the County of Weld determines necessary or appropriate, participation may
additionally be specifically solicited from persons of low and moderate income,
those benefitting from or affected by CDBG activities and/or representatives of
such persons. Hearings will be held at times and locations convenient to
potential and actual beneficiaries, and with accommodation for the handicapped.
In the case of public hearings where a significant number of non-English speaking
residents can be reasonably expected to participate, arrangements will be made
to have an interpreter present.

be available at the weld County Commissioner's Office during regular office
hours. The public will be so informed by public notice. Special communication
aids can be made available to persons upon request.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The County of Weld will provide technical assistance to groups representative of
persons of low and moderate income that request assistance in developing CDBG
proposals. The level and type of assistance appropriate will be determined by
the County of Weld based on its ability to provide or arrange for such
assistance, the cost of providing such assistance and other relevant factors.

in a timely manner. When practicable, such written responses shall be made iwi n fifteen working days
