The primary goal of this project is to increase services provided by the Weld County Government to the county residents utilizing technology. This project will not only provide an extensive communication network, but also assessment and educational services, access for job search, and self help information. By creating this availability to rural communities, more residents will be able to access services and information. Weld County comprises more than 4,000 square miles with 55% of the population living in rural areas. With the majority of residents living in rural areas, and lacking adequate transportation, there is a significant need to develop a system to better provide services throughout the county. A wide area network will allow the expansion of communication and existing services provided in Greeley, the county seat, to rural parts of the county. Through the development of this network, access to information and services will be available in 36 rural sites. The network will connect 19 Area Agency on Aging sites, 16 HeadStart sites, the County Jail, and one Employment Services of Weld County outreach office. The County Jail will provide inmate assessment, education, and job development skills. The County Health Department will provide on-line access to health information and education. Project partners will include Employment Services of Weld County, Family Educational Network of Weld County-HeadStart,Area Agency on Aging, the Weld County Jail, the Weld County Health Department, and the Weld County Department of Social Services. 980409 PROJECT NARRATIVE 1. PROJECT PURPOSE A. Problem The purpose of this project is to expand the model one stop service delivery area and the nationally recognized learning lab through technology to serve residents of the vast area which Weld County encompasses. This county covers an area of more than 4,000 square miles with 55% of the population residing in the rural areas and 28 incorporated small towns, ranging from 20 to 6,123 in population. (See Addendum 1 - Weld County Map) This is an underserved community that has financial barriers as noted by the 10.5% poverty level, 28.2% of families with an income less than $20,000, with limited accessibility due to the large geographical area and lack of an adequate transportation system. In addition, Weld County had 5,669 families receiving welfare assistance in 1997, with an average caseload of 1,400 per month. County residents are faced with many barriers that limit or prevent their access to the benefits and services provided by various county agencies. Some of these barriers are geographic, economic, and/or educational. Some families must drive more than 160 miles round trip to access county services. Disparities are further described in the Reducing Disparities section. In addition, inmates at the Weld County Jail are in need of necessary life, employment, and educational skills to successfully reintegrate into the communities. It is anticipated that this project will also assist in changing the social environment of the inmate by introducing the family into different social structures. The jail seeks to access community resources in a cooperative effort to'reduce recidivism. B. Solution Weld County has the benefit of a proven one stop delivery system that started 20 years ago and evolved into a state and national model. The county also has a successful learning lab that has received national recognition and provides extensive assessment, remedial education,job seeking and job keeping skills, and computer training through a computerized network. The learning lab currently serves eight different sites. (See Addendum 2- Employment Services' Learning Lab Locations) With the advent of social reform by our legislatures, particularly for the self sufficiency of welfare recipients, service providers are experiencing an eminent need to provide services more efficiently. Development of a wide area network will allow access to those who ordinarily would not have an opportunity to access or would have limited access to these services. Phase I of a technological delivery system has already begun. The services of the learning lab and the Weld County Migrant HeadStart and HeadStart Programs are being consolidated and will be delivered to all Region VIII and XII HeadStart facilities utilizing a technological wide area network (WAN). The proposed monies from this grant will allow the county to expand these services to 19 Area on Aging sites, the Weld County Jail, the Weld County Health Department, and the Employment Services'satellite office in southern Weld County. This project will utilize current hardware and software technology to address the communication, 1 980408 assessment, and educational needs of county residents. A comprehensive communication and educational network will be available in 36 sites throughout this geographically large county with an average density of 38 persons per square mile. These services will be primarily targeted towards the underserved, low income families, welfare recipients, as well as inmates of the county jail. The community will benefit through localized access to the extensive services provided through the one stop model. This will allow the county to better meet the needs of the individuals served through our extensive programs, including the welfare reform program. Some specific examples would be immediate dissemination of health care information, and more effective and efficient delivery of assessment, educational, and self help skills. Inmates of the jail will be assessed to identify their needs and direct them to an appropriate program. The WAN, through accessing one stop services, will enable the inmate population to utilize programs which would otherwise be cost prohibitive. C. Outcome Communication afforded by this proposed network will allow the residents of Weld County to effectively and efficiently communicate with the county service providers. In addition, the rural area residents will have access to the one stop services, employment information, personal and environment health information, remedial or GED education, various assessments, self help information, and internet services on an ongoing basis to improve their general well being and quality of life. Residents participating in welfare, or other social programs, can locally access information and services to assist in a self sufficiency plan. Inmates will have a higher probability of successfully reintegrating into the communities. The communities will benefit by a reduction in crime, a reduction in the costs associated with criminal prosecution and incarceration, and by the increased tax revenue generated by the employment of former inmates. The methods utilized for identifying and documenting these outcomes throughout the project are further described in the Evaluation, Documentation, and Dissemination section. 2. SIGNIFICANCE A. Innovation The Information Age is not coming; it is here. There is an urgent need for an innovative learning environment that can not only keep pace, but set it. Our innovative model is not only necessary, but can be replicated for urban and rural service delivery areas across the country. Linkages have been established, but this technology must by brought in to take the service delivery system into the 21st Century. This project will expand an already proven one stop employment and training service delivery system which has been operational for 20 years. (See Addendum 3- Employment Services of Weld County/Organizational Structure) This one stop system currently provides services through more than 16 programs, including welfare reform, and operates a computerized learning lab which has been nationally recognized. Through this project, the one stop concept for universal services will be expanded to include the Health Department and the jail in a comprehensive wide area communication network. Many rural residents, and inmates, who would otherwise have limited or no access to services, will now have access 2 980408 through this technological delivery system. Weld County's successful comprehensive one stop model will demonstrate, through the use of technology, that a multitude of agencies can share information and resources and deliver services tailored to fit individual needs through the various programs, B. Exemolary The development of one stop services is currently of great interest at the National level. Expanding this one stop concept for more universal services through technology is untried. This project can and will serve as a national model. Weld County's one stop model design has been used as the model for the State of Colorado's One Stop Career Center and Employment and Training System. In addition, this agency is currently developing a national model for the Federal Migrant and HeadStart Programs to provide a wide area network of service to all 16 of Weld County's HeadStart sites. Developing this network as a replicable model has required working closely with telephone service providers, and software and hardware engineers. Our intent is to develop a model that can be easily and economically replicated. 3. PROJECT FEASIBILITY A. Technical Approach Weld County has partnered with a major telecommunications provider, three software companies, and two hardware companies to provide engineering expertise in the design of a wide area network. Their involvement has continued since the first phase of developing a national model for the Federal Migrant and HeadStart Programs. If funded for this project, these partnerships will be continued and expanded. A WAN will utilize proven technology. One of the challenges is that many rural communities do not have T- 1 telephone lines and must use 56K lines. (See Addendum 4- Network World Article) Through careful engineering, this problem has been resolved. (See Addendum 5- Frame Relay Option) All planning is based upon software being made available for internet usage. Funding for the growth of this project and the continuation upon the conclusion of the grant period will be supported through the budgets of the programs utilizing the service. Additionally, the learning lab will further develop its fee for service programs to other agencies, private industries, and private individuals. Throughout the project design, existing infrastructure has been incorporated. The project is designed to take advantage of existing T-1 lines and 56K to access frame relay technology. All hardware will utilize current technology and be selected for upgrade capabilities. This project anticipates continual upgrading of software technology and cost maintenance fees for hardware and software upgrades have been built into the project. For the development and day to day operation, a full time technical technician will be hired for the grant period of this project. Thereafter, day to day operation of this WAN will be maintained by current staff. Anticipating the need for additional technical assistance, technical support engineers are available on an as needed contractual basis. Through this arrangement, ongoing costs will be reduced. B. Applicant Qualifications The project team is very experienced and qualified. All partners possess extensive experience in their 3 980408 program areas and have demonstrated technical and project management expertise. This is verified in their resumes. (See Addendum 6a-6h) The Executive Director of the Weld County Division of Human Services has overseen his vision of building a successful one stop system for more than 20 years. The Educational/Vocational Coordinator, who will coordinate this project, has over 25 years expertise in education and management and has directed the nationally recognized Learning Lab for eight years. C. Budget, Implementation Schedule, and Timelines Design of the wide area network model for the Federal Migrant and HeadStart Programs is complete and currently being implemented. This network will serve as a model as well as an integral part of this project. The project timelines are to connect seven Area Agency on Aging sites the first year and six in each of the second and third years, for a total of 19 sites. The Employment Services'satellite office, the jail, and the Health Department will be connected in the first year. This time table may be affected by the availability of phone line access. Pending funding of this project, the telephone service provider will be contacted to establish firm connection schedules. No major problems are anticipated to bring the jail on-line as a fiber optic line presently runs between the buildings. The jail, which was built in 1997, is wired for computers in their classrooms. See Addendum 7-Timeline Schedule for more specific timelines. D. Sustainability This project will phase into current program budgets the second and third years of the grant to become a line item for each of the project partners. The HeadStart Program has already budgeted monies to support the first phase of this project. The program areas involved in this project are an integral part of the Division of Human Services with the exception of the jail, the Health Department, and Social Services whom are coming into this project as partners. (See Addendum 8- Weld County Division of Human Services Organizational Stucture) Substantial costs for this project will be offset by the savings in mileage currently being paid to staff to travel the extensive distances to serve rural residents and assist at each site. (See Addendum 9- Mileage to Various Rural Sites) Increased usage of the wide area network is expected over time as program recipients, county residents, and communities become familiar with this technological resource and as staff become fully versed in the operation of the system. Staff will be trained as the wide area network becomes operational. A position has been written into this proposal for the purpose of training and support for the first 18 months of operation. A solid training program will ensure that competent staff will be available at each site to assist individuals, therefore, increasing success of this project. 4. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A. Partnerships The initial partners in this project are part of the Weld County Division of Human Services one stop system which includes Area Agency on Aging, Employment Services, and Family Educational Network of Weld County-HeadStart. The jail, Health Department, and Social Services have committed themselves as partners. (See Addendum 10a- 10f) All of the partners are part of the Weld County Government and have existing customers. Individuals currently access various services, but these services are limited or strained due to the distances necessary to travel to access them. Positioning services in various 4 280408 community centers not only meets a need of these communities, but is responsive to the communities' requests. The benefits of this project to the partners is differing as each partner has unique responsibilities. However, the common thread will be to increase accessibility of services within each community in the county, and the utilization of current technology to provide a countywide communication network. Employment Services and its learning lab will benefit by being able to provide vocational and educational assessments, remedial education, GED preparation, life and survival skills, and basic job skills training to individuals, particularly welfare recipients, in rural communities. This will allow more residents the opportunity to avail themselves to training which otherwise may not be accessible due to the lack of transportation or personal economics. This will also provide welfare recipients, being mandated by reforms, the means to access services which will assist them in obtaining self sufficiency. The HeadStart Program will increase services to preschool children and their families by having a comprehensive learning system in each HeadStart center. The HeadStart Program will have a comprehensive communication network allowing client registration and record keeping to be accessed at each site and electronically stored in the file server at the main office. This will significantly decrease the need to have staff drive from center to center and back to the main office, allowing staff more time to work with families. The Health Department will benefit by increasing the number of residents it can provide information to and serve to enhance the health and well being of communities. The wide area network will provide information about the Health Department's services, including schedules of community outreach clinics. Rural residents will have ready access to personal and environmental health information and information concerning their communities, including current health trends and disease outbreaks. This project will also assist residents with making better decisions about accessing the health care system and services. This wide area network will allow the jail to meet their objectives of client assessment,education,job skill development, and maintaining family contact. By increasing the education level and job readiness skills of inmates, the jail will reduce recidivism. The Area Agency on Aging needs the communication provided by this wide area network to serve the increasing population of elderly residents by educating against consumer fraud and to provide referrals for information such as home health care and housing options for seniors. Internet access will be available at the senior centers. Educational services will also be available through the learning lab software. B. Involvement of the Community This project has an advantage due to the current partnership of the Weld County one stop model which serves more than 16 program areas and involves more than 30 community agencies. (See Addendum 11 - Weld County Division of Human Services Departments and Purchase of Services/Coordination Agreements). Employment Services conducts ongoing surveys for customer satisfaction and program development. This gives us an ongoing assessment of the needs of Weld County. These results are shared with all one stop partners. 980408 5 Community involvement has been continuous through ongoing needs assessments which are required for most of the programs served. HeadStart Programs completed a 1997 comprehensive community needs assessment, utilizing 19 different sources. The Area Agency on Aging Program is currently conducting a comprehensive needs survey. This survey follows a comprehensive survey completed four years ago. This instrument was comprised of the following six parts: 1)job demographics, 2) activities and services, 3) community environment,4) WELDCO meetings, 5) coordinator positions, and 6)general information and demographics. Expanded services provided by the Health Department will be determined through on-going community needs assessments conducted by community outreach nurses and the community assessment coordinator. In addition, during assessments of the communities, the Health Department will evaluate, through surveys, the usefulness of information and will collect demographic data on the individuals accessing the information. End users continually identify the need for localized access of the services provided by the Weld County Government, through needs surveys and communication with their case managers. Due to the large number of programs to be served under this project and the limitations of this application,we are unable to address all of the surveys which support this need. Some of these surveys are referenced in Addendum 12- Sources Used In Needs Surveys. Jail inmates will be mandated to participate. Criminal Justice Program surveys clearly indicate that inmate access to job training and remedial education significantly reduces recidivism. (See Addendum 13-Jail Recidivism) The jail has implemented a jail ministry program which has 200 volunteers from local churches who are prepared to assist inmates in this project. In addition, the jail is working with Right to Read and Child Advocacy Resource and Education Center to assist with literacy and parenting skills. C. Support of End Users The end users are primarily individuals served by our numerous programs, including welfare recipients. Most of these individuals are low income or on fixed income and live in small communities throughout the county. End users have been involved through the ongoing needs surveys and involvement with their case managers or program coordinators. The recruitment process is currently in place for the Weld County Division of Human Services programs. The trainer position will train staff and provide technical support for the staff at each site. The local trained staff will provide the training and supervision to the end users. Residents will be informed on how to access the services and information provided by this project through local presentations, press releases, presentations to community groups, newsletters, and brochures. D. Privacy Privacy is an utmost concern for all partners in this project. Regulations are already in place regarding client confidentiality. All partners are accustomed to client privacy and confidentiality and all records will be maintained in accordance with state and federal privacy acts. This technology will be controlled by the 6 9804�08 program administrator. Current technology allows all client data to be safeguarded, and its use will be an integral part of this projects software and hardware. 5. REDUCING DISPARITIES A. Description and documentation of disparities The primary beneficiary of this technological project will be the underserved individuals of Weld County who are subject to barriers that limit or prevent their access to the benefits of information infrastructure technologies and services. These barriers are geographical, economical, and educational. Greater than 10% of Weld County is at or below poverty level, with 11.2% of the annual household income less than $10,000 and 20% of the annual household income less than $20,000. Geographically, the county covers an area of 4,004 square miles, the third largest county in Colorado, and covers an area greater than that of Rhode Island, Delaware, and the District of Columbia combined. The 28 incorporated small towns and rural residents represent 55% of the county's population. The ethnic minority represents 23% of the county. The jail books 10,600 inmates annually; 62% are minorities and 20% speak only Spanish. Weld County has the highest teen suicide rate in the state with 15 out of 100,000 youth committing suicide in each of the last four reported years. In 1986, the last reported year, 11.8% of the county's births were to single mothers under the age of 25 with less than a high school education. B. Strategies for overcoming barriers to access This technological delivery system avails services to the local communities which will allow the Weld County Government to deliver services to those whom are underserved or mandated by federal law to participate in a program. The educational level of a parent is a clear predictor of both the educational achievements of a child and the level of parental involvement in a child's education. Education of adults can have a positive and long-lasting impact upon the lives of their children. Research shows that quality education is one of the most effective forms of crime prevention. Educational skills can help deter young people from committing criminal acts and can greatly decrease the likelihood that people will return to crime from prison. This project needs to be developed to allow the county a more efficient service delivery system. These services will be delivered through our one stop model utilizing technology. (See Addendum 8- WCDHS Organizational Stucture) This will provide an efficient and expeditious delivery of services to welfare recipients who are mandated to become self sufficient in a minimal amount of time. These services will allow continued educational development through the outreach centers with flexible scheduling to meet the needs of the newly employed workers. The county will also be able to deliver critical health care information to the communities and deliver services to the seniors and the incarcerated within the county. 6. EVALUATION,DOCUMENTATION,AND DISSEMINATION A. Evaluation Plan The outcomes for this project will be measured several different ways due to the varying partners involved in this project and their individual goals to be accomplished. Current technology will allow us to maintain records such as the frequency information is accessed and what information was accessed. Through technology,data will be collected as part of day to day business. This data will be printed monthly and distributed to each of the partners. The program administrators will utilize this information to evaluate the 98OC_O3 7 project. Needs surveys have already established the demand for this service in the local communities. The real measure will be informing the community of the opportunity to access information and services through technology in their communities. The monthly reports will give us this information. Program administrators will monitor their strategies accordingly to maximize utilization of this technology. The primary concern of the Health Department is to measure the frequency their services are accessed through technology. This will reduce the need for individuals to call the Health Department, often long distance, and will reduce the current demands for one on one service. Both the entry and exit evaluations as well as the inmate course review will be statistically analyzed to determine how well each instructor and course content is meeting the desired objects of the course. This will also be one of the criteria for assessing success of this project. Six months after an inmate has completed the program, staff of the jail will conduct a criminal history inquiry about the inmate through the National Crime Information Network and ascertain if the inmate has been reincarcerated within the United • States since the conclusion of the program. In addition, staff will attempt to locate the inmate and provide an oral or written questionnaire about progress after completing the program. The Area Agency on Aging will conduct monthly coordinator meetings with their 19 sites to discuss effectiveness and outcomes of this project. Modifications may be recommended through this forum. B. Documentation Plan The Project Coordinator will closely supervise the project and document ail progress according to the timeline. All successes,difficulties, and challenges will be documented. Monthly meetings will be conducted by the Project Coordinator for all partners to review the current project status of the WAN as well as any concerns or recommendations by the sites. Trouble logs and innovations will be submitted by each site to the Project Coordinator as they occur. (See Addendum 14-Trouble, Concern, or Innovation Log) The Project Coordinator will address concerns,solutions, and recommendations immediately if necessary, or at the monthly meetings. All meetings will be documented and copies will be forwarded to project partners. The Project Coordinator will maintain a master file of all documentation to be made available to TIIAP and other interested parties. C. Information Dissemination Plan The agencies participating in this program have information distribution systems, such as newsletters, regular meetings, and information sharing networks. Information about this project will be disseminated throughout the community by the partner agencies and the various volunteers. A list of some of the organizations whom this information will be made available to is attached as Addendum 15. The Project Coordinator will complete a final report and will respond to any requests for information by interested parties. 980408 8 • In VI •i I- / Eh O .- r N 1. i 2 Zi • = N _ f ca • N • i 0 2•t . x - i ivi '`t` .f.'

As noted in the application, Weld is a very large county, third largest in Colorado and equivalent to the size of the State of Connecticut. We are also unique in that we have many more stall rural towns that any other county in Colorado. Access to information and access in a timely manner is consistently an issue with Weld communities. The challenge of the Area Agency on Aging is to bring this network of communities together on behalf of older adults. For many years we have worked to develop a network called the WELDCOS. This group of senior coordinators meets monthly for the purposes of education, networking and support. We believe there is a strong need to take this network to another level of communication by enabling these small rural senior programs to link with each other, with the Area Agency on Aging and the outside world through electronic means. The Area Agency on Aging will commit the following in-kind resources to this project: $299,000 salary for 13 senior aide coordinators $ 16,872 for volunteer hours $46,800 for building space $ 52,370 for utilities for the buildings $12,290 for insurance for the buildings We are committed to be a full partner and understand that funding of this project will mean commitment of staff time and financial resources to help maintain the system once it is operational.

Most of the towns are rural and void of educational and technological resources,therefore,this project will be of monumental value to our community. The Family Educational Network of Weld County supports the efforts of the Weld Coalition to expand the technological resources in Weld County. Resources and staff time for this project will be committed through the Family Educational Network of Weld County. Thank you for considering the Weld Coalition's proposal.

He reports that in a study done in Hampden County, Massachusetts, inmates who participated in educational programs recidivated at a rate of 28%, as compared to 42% for non-participants, over half of the violations by the educational program participants were for motor vehicle violations, and only 9% were charged with violent offenses, as compared to 37% of non-participants who committed violent offenses. Lucas concurs that education reduced recidivism in Denton County, Texas, and emphasizes that prison educational programs must be practical —that is, they must address the needs of the inmate. He discusses the General Education Development (GED), vocational, and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs offered in Denton County, which have resulted in fewer disciplinary infractions by inmates." Corrections Forum, November/December 1997 "A new national study outlines overwhelming evidence linking prison-based education programs to dramatically reduced recidivism rates and crime prevention, calling them one of the most effective of all crime prevention programs nationwide." "Education proves far more cost effective than incarceration, according to the study. New York state estimates incarceration costs at $25,000 and prison-based education at $2,500, per inmate, per year. By lowering recidivism from 60% to 15%, prison-based education programs can save millions. Also, once released, those educated have a far better rate of employment (60-75%) than those without (40%). 9803 ADDENDUM 14 TROUBLE, CONCERN, OR INNOVATION LOG Please list and explain difficulties or recommendations for innovations that you have with the WAN or your particular site.
