2. Objectives
The overall objective of Human Resources is to provide programs and
services to address the social/welfare needs of residents in Weld
County. Available local, state, and federal resources are focused
on the goal of enabling low-income families and low-income of all
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.
a. Administrative Unit
A brief description of the administrative services is as
follows:
(1) Fiscal Management
The Division's Fiscal Department is fully integrated with
the Weld County Finance Department. The Fiscal Department
handles all fiscal activities for the various funding
sources to the Division. This includes budget preparation,
financial reporting, and budget analysis.
930180
(2) Contracts and Grants
The Contracts and Grants Unit works with program directors
and other unit administrators in the preparation of all
contracts and grants, compliance areas, and statistical
support. Monitoring and evaluation duties are also
assigned to this unit.
(3) Office Management Unit
The office management functions are centralized in the
areas of personnel, affirmative action, typing, office
supplies, forms, etc. , and consolidated under this unit.
b. Programmatic Services
The Division of Human Resources has programs which address the
needs of the low-income in four (4) major areas: Client Support
Services, Children and Family, Senior Citizens, and Employment
Services. A brief description of each program is as follows:
(1) Client Support Services
The Client Support Services Unit provides client tracking
for the Employment Services of Weld County (Job Service,
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) , New Directions
Program, and Employment First Programs. This unit provides
for a central management information system for reporting,
payroll, and personnel for Human Resources and each
specific program.
(2) Children and Family Services
These services address the needs of disadvantaged families.
. Family Educational Network of Weld County (FENWC)
This program is divided into three major components;
Head Start, Migrant Head Start and State Preschool.
The Head Start program provides comprehensive services
in order to meet the needs of both Weld County preschool
children and their families who are low-income.
Services are offered from October through May, in the
areas of education, parent involvement, social services,
health and nutrition, child care and special needs.
Migrant Head Start continues with the same services as
Head Start, but is targeted at the Migrant Seasonal
Farmworkers from June through September.
The State Preschool Program is a cooperative effort
between FENWC and Weld County School Districts. The
program provides early intervention for preschool
children in need of language development. This helps
the children to be better prepared for entry into the
public school system.
93018e
. Commodity Supplemental Foods Program
The Commodity Supplemental Foods Program provides high
protein commodities without charge, to low-income
pregnant or lactating women, infants, and children
through five years of age. These supplements to their
diets are intended to correct the problems of vitamin
deficiencies prevalent among low-income families. In
addition to the commodities, nutrition education is made
available to participants.
. Transportation Services
The Centennial Development Services, Inc. (CDSI)/Schaffer
transportation program provides transportation for
developmentally disabled children and adults to their
CDSI/Schaffer Rehabilitation work sites.
The Weld County transportation program provides
transportation services to low-income or handicapped
persons with no other means of transportation.
This system provides rides to and from job sites, Head
Start and other social service activities, as well as
delivers meals to senior nutrition meal sites.
. Weatherization Program
The Weatherization Program enables low-income home owners
who meet federal guidelines to participate in an energy
conservation program. The Program provides all materials
and the installation necessary to reduce the infiltration
of hot and cold air into homes, through furnace efficiency
check and cleaning, caulking, door and window weather-
stripping, window and door repairs and replacement,
insulation, and minor repair associated with sealing the
house.
(3) Senior Citizen Services
The Division of Human Resources has a variety of programs
which address the needs of low-income seniors.
Area Agency on Aging
The Area Agency on Aging manages all federal monies that
are awarded to Weld County under the Title III Older
Americans Act through a system of purchase of service
agreements with local agencies. The Area Agency also
coordinates and manages other senior programs offered
through the Division of Human Resources.
. Senior Aide Program
The Senior Aide Program provides a network through which
outreach, referral and transportation are made available
to senior citizens in rural areas.
930180
. Senior Nutrition Program
The Senior Nutrition Program provides hot nutritious
meals to the elderly aged 60 and over and to their
spouses, at no charge. A donation of $1.50 is
suggested. The meals are served at 22 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
also provide an opportunity for socialization, and
recreational and educational activities.
Senior Aide Coordinators and their volunteers are
located in 22 rural communities throughout the county.
The basic services provided by the Coordinators and
their volunteers include information and referral,
outreach, creation of new services, identification of
needs, advocacy for rural senior citizens,
transportation, recreation, and congregate nutrition
programs.
. Mini-Bus Transportation
The Mini-Bus Transportation Program provides
transportation services to the elderly who are without
other means of transportation. The Mini-Bus provides
transportation only for persons in the rural areas.
Passengers are picked up at and returned to their homes
or from central locations on a specified day for
transportation to health facilities, shopping areas,
recreational activities, social service needs, and meal
sites.
. Older Worker Program
The Older Worker Program is designed to assist seniors
obtain employment, either full-time, part-time, or
temporary. This program has been designed to work in
conjunction with the Employment Services of Weld County
to ensure that coordination and non-duplication of
services exists for the older workers.
. Case Management
The Case Management program is designed to assist
primarily the home-restricted senior population. This
program allows a case manager to assess the needs of the
client. The case manager will either fulfill those
needs or refer the client to other agencies that may be
able to help them.
. Ombudsman
The Ombudsman program is provided through the Area
Agency on Aging and is targeted at the Senior Nursing
home population. The ombudsman provides an advocate
service for those clients who are experiencing problems
at their nursing home.
930190
(4) Employment Services
Employment services are provided to those adults and youth
seeking employment. The umbrella name for employment
services is the Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) .
ESWC is comprised of the Job Training Partnership Act
(JTPA) , the Job Service, the New Directions Program, and
Employment First Program.
The Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) is a single
delivery system which focuses all available employment and
training resources for enabling low-income heads of
households and other individuals seeking employment to
attain the skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary to
secure and maintain permanent employment.
Job Service provides for the basic labor exchange services
for all adults and youth seeking employment by matching an
applicant with an employer.
The new New Directions Program is derived from the JOBS
Bill of 1989. The Weld County program is operated in
conjunction with the Department of Social Services and is
targeted primarily at eligible Aid to Families with
Dependent Children (AFDC) adult recipients. This plan is
designed to assess each client as to educational, social
and physiological needs and set up a plan of action to fill
those needs. The long-range goal is to graduate these
clients from the 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.
The Employment First Program is also operated in
conjunction with the Department of Social Services and is
targeted at eligible food stamp recipients. This Program
is designed to involve these clients in job search
activities based on their specifically assessed needs. The
goal is to give each client the enhancements and
opportunities to acquire unsubsidized employment.
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 1990
U. S. Census showed Weld County's population at 144,600 or up 17.4% from
the 1980 census of 123,439. Attachment I identifies the Population by
Age, Sex and Race/Ethnicity and illustrates a 2.5% growth in areas from
1990 to 1992 statistics. 1993 information is not available at this
time.
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.
930190
1. Employment
Attachment II provides an Individual Requiring Employability
Services chart for Fiscal Year 1992 and 1993. This chart estimates
that 24,000 individuals will be unemployed during 1993. In addition
there will be an estimated 20,000 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 November 30, 1992, and a comparison to the previous
period. Weld County's caseload status has experienced an 25%
increase over a one year period.
3. Senior Citizens
The Colorado Division of Local Government identifies the 60+ 1991
population at 18,456 for Weld County, with 10.4% of that group being
below poverty, 11% being minority, and 40% being rural.
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.
Attachment IV provides PY 1992 Estimates of Substantial Segments
showing that 12.4% of the population that was eligible for JTPA
services was age 55+.
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.
930180
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, Senior Case Management, the Centennial Developmental Services,
Inc./Schaffer, the Mini-Bus Transportation Program, and the Employment
Services 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 1993 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.
9301%
. A brief description of any new and innovative services or
delivery of services for participants, by program.
. A brief statement on the overall progress achieved by the program
toward meeting the planned objectives.
The quarterly reports are submitted with the financial quarterly
reports when the funding source requires it.
A mid-year and final report will be provided for the block grant.
The reports will utilize the CSBG Project Performance Report
Narrative Summary forms.

The Medicaid Only increase is a result from the Federal and State government's
expanded eligibility coverage for low income families.

compared to one year ago, but the household count is now ranging between 2400
and 2500 per month.
