Thank you for your application in response to the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for YouthBuild

We received 186 responsive applications and were greatly impressed by the quality of many of the

FOA. In a highly competitive field, 77 were selected for award. Unfortunately, your application was not
among those selected for funding. A listing of all awardees can be found on the Department of Labor's
(DOL) website at https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/eta/eta20170818.
If you would like to receive evaluative feedback regarding your application, please send a request by email

2705, no later than 45 days after receipt of this letter. Telephone calls will not be accepted. All
requests must be issued by the signatory authority designated on the SF -424 in the application.
We acknowledge the efforts of your organization, and trust that you will continue to apply for funding

Dear Applicant,
Employment and Training Administration
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Thank you again for your application in response to YouthBuild funding opportunity announcement, FOA-
ETA-17-03. In response to your request for feedback, this email represents my final determination and
includes the weaknesses of your application as identified by an evaluation team composed of three
panelists. The team evaluated the application against the selection criteria in the Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FDA), which were based on the policy goals, priorities, and emphases set forth in the FOA.
Evaluative feedback is provided as presented by the panelists; therefore, it could include the same or
similar weakness noted by more than one panel member. For more information about the review and
selection process, please see Section V of the FOA.
In response to FOA-ETA-17-03, the Employment & Training Administration received 186 responsive
applications that were reviewed. Your application ranked in the third quartile of final scores amongst
Category B applicants. Each quartile represents 25% of the total responsive applications: the first quartile
includes the highest 25% of final scores, the second quartile the second highest 25% of final scores, etc.
The final scores served as the primary basis for selection of applications for funding. Additional factors that
may be considered include: geographic distribution of funds and/or other relevant factors.
We acknowledge the efforts put forward and encourage your organization to apply for grants in future
competitions. We are hopeful this evaluative feedback will assist in preparing applications. You may sign up
for email alerts on www.grants.gov for notification of future solicitations.
In addition, the Employment & Training Administration offers a wide array of technical assistance for
applicants, with updates to be added in the near future. On-line resources may be found at
http://www.doleta.gov/grants/resources.cfm which may be of assistance in applying for future grants.

Abstract
• Designation as a Promise Zone or member of a Promise Zone collaboration: Weld
County is not designated as a Promise Zone
• Experience with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968:
Although, ESWC does not have direct experience with the HUD Act of 1968, partner
agencies (such as Habitat for Humanity) have valuable experience in this area and will be
utilized as the Subject Matter Expert. Further, the intent of the grant is to serve low
income youth population which aligns perfectly with the intent in Section 3 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968.

YOUTH BUILD WELD COUNTY
PROJECT NARRATIVE
(A) Statement of Need
Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) is a local American Job Center (AJC) and is
structured under the umbrella of the Department of Human Services in Weld County. ESWC is
actively engaged within the Weld County local area and the Upstate Region as defined by the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Communities of Weld County have come
together to positively address and affect the emergent need of affordable housing within Weld
County. There is a severe lack of housing for lower income bracket individuals, as well as for
those in higher income brackets. The need in Weld County to provide low cost housing
combined with a pathway for youth to escape the confines of poverty is clearly illustrated in the
unemployment rates, poverty rates, and graduation rates spreadsheets provided below.
Refer to attachments
The proposed target area encompasses the entirety of Weld County (Greeley Metropolitan
Statistical Area or MSA) inclusive of zip codes: 80610, 80611, 80603, 80612, 80514, 80615,
80620, 80520, 80530, 80621, 80622, 80623, 80624, 80624, 80631, 80632, 80633, 80634, 80638,
80639, 80729, 80732, 80642, 80534, 80643, 80644, 80645, 80504, 80646, 80542, 80543, 80742,
80648, 80650, 80651, 80652, 80546, 80754, 80550, and 80551.
(1) Unemployment Rate: The statistical information obtained for the Greeley MSA was
gathered solely from Census data found at:
http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml. The weighted average
unemployment for the zip codes in Weld County was higher than other areas. Weld's
Wage
unemployment rate for 16-19 year olds is 19.1% and 20-24 year olds is 6.3%. According to the
weighted average worksheet, Weld County's weighted average unemployment rate for 16-24
year olds is 12.1%.
(2) Poverty Rate: The statistical information obtained for the poverty rate was also
obtained using U.S. Census data through the website mentioned above. Weld County's weighted
average poverty rate is 11.3%.
(3) The Graduation Rate: The data for Weld County School Districts was obtained
through a state level source, the Colorado Department of Education. This information can be
located at http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdereval/gradcurrent under Graduation and Completion
Data, 4 -year District Level Data and is provided as an attachment, as well.
In the 2015-2016 school year, Weld County's Graduate Rate was 88.2%. Although
higher than the national average, it is important to note that Weld County is one of the largest
counties in the United States. Weld County encompasses approximately 4,000 square miles, and
is served by 17 school districts. These districts include numerous charter schools and ten private
school education opportunities; schools of excellence in historically non -poverty areas of the
county. While Weld is proud to have schools which provide this type of distinction in education,
these schools sway the graduation rate and do not provide a complete picture of the county as a
whole.
Weld County encompasses many small, rural communities with limited enrollment which
skew the graduation rates above. As an example, when one looks at graduation rates limited to
Greeley -Evans School District 6, the graduation rate drops significantly to 77.1 %. It is important
to note because this is the largest district and serves 55.56% of Weld County's senior class.
When District RE -8 is included with District 6, these two districts serve approximately 60.59%
Mage
of Weld County's senior class and comprise a graduation rate of 57.2%. School District 6 and
District RE -8 were selected for the comparison as they align with the primary locations of Aims
Community College. Whereas District RE -12 does not have a college within their immediate
vicinity, has 4 students in their senior class with a 0% drop out rate and serves 0.14% of Weld
County's senior class. In other words, the vast majority of Weld County has a graduation
rate of 23.8% below the national average which reinforces ESWC's ability to serve out -of -
school youth at a higher rate.
Of further note, and even more importance, is that the graduation rate is only one aspect
of youth success in education. ESWC intends to serve those youth who would not be included in
the graduation rate data presented above by focusing services on dropout youth. These are the
individuals who most desperately need assistance in creating a life plan out of poverty. ESWC,
on behalf of the Workforce Development Board, facilitates the WIOA grant and historically
serves a large percentage of out -of -school youth. In the current program year, PY16, the WIOA
youth program has served 88% out -of -school youth with a total of 81% of all program
participants were identified as high school dropouts. In the previous four years, the percentage of
out -of -school youth served has ranged from 74% to 81%. Additional performance metrics are
available for review in Section F.
(4) Priority Consideration Points for Federal Designation: Currently Colorado, and
specifically Weld County, does not have any Promise Zone initiatives.

Need for Affordable Housing
Within Weld County, there is an alarming need for affordable housing. According
to the City of Greeley Consolidated Plan for 2014 - 2019, "the greatest problem facing
households in Greeley is housing cost burden, particularly for households that are at the lowest
income levels." At this level, 77% of all renter households have housing costs which exceed 50%
of their income, which is a severe cost burden. Of those in the 50-80% AMI income level, more
than half face housing costs that exceed 30% of their income. (Source:
http://gree1eygov.com/docs/default-source/community-initiatives/greeley-urban-renewal-
authority/plans/2015-2019-consolidated-plan.pdf?sfvrsn=4f 6cdf8a_2)
Additionally, the Greeley Tribune recently reported that Weld is actually the fourth least
affordable county in the U.S. for home -searchers out of the 379 counties examined
(http://www.greeleytribune.com/news/business/report-four-counties-in-colorado-including-weld-
top-the-list-of-home-unaffordability/ ).
The Greeley -Weld Housing Authority operates the Section 8 Housing Program which is
designed to assist Low Income families with the cost of renting housing. The family pays a rent
of 30% of their income to their landlord and the Housing Authority pays the difference.
Unfortunately, demand for Section 8 housing far surpasses the supply and there is currently a
wait list for housing. This built up housing demand can be seen in a secondary affordable
housing issue, overcrowding. When housing costs are high, families make the decision to reside
together for economic reasons even though it means living in overcrowded surroundings. The
2014 Multi -Family Housing Vacancy Survey conducted by the City of Greeley indicates that
more than half of renter households experiencing overcrowding are those at the lowest income
levels, while owner households at 30-80% Area Median Income (AMI) have the greatest
incidence of overcrowding. A third issue stemming from the lack of affordable housing is
4IPage
substandard housing. The survey referenced above shows the renter household with one or more
severe housing problems 72% are in the > 30% AMI group.
(2) Work Site Qualification
Please refer to the ETA -9143 form that is uploaded within the application.
(C) Project Design
(1) Education and Occupations Skills Training
With this project's focus on serving out -of -school youth, ESWC strongly believes our
proven history in serving this population with education and occupational skills training will
prove beneficial. ESWC operates an onsite Assessment and Learning Lab which provides
customers who are in need of a high school equivalency degree or who have academic
deficiencies needed for employment with academic preparation and remedial education
services. The Assessment and Learning Lab has been in operation since 1991 and has a proven
track record in the provision of exceptional academic/educational preparation assistance in
addition to vocational assessment and instruction. Through utilization of the Transitional
Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) approved curriculum, the Learning Lab provides open
entry/open exit computerized academic instruction similar to, and in -line with, school district
standards. This strategy is effective and demonstrated by the 79 ESWC program participants who
obtained a high school equivalency degree in 2016. Beginning January 1, 2017 through April 30,
2017, a total of 37 individuals have obtained a high school equivalency degree. The clear
majority of individuals who received a high school equivalency degree were WIOA youth
participants.
All participants, including those working on obtaining their High School Diploma or
High School Equivalency degree, will receive post -secondary occupational skills training in
existing Construction Trades Certificates at Aims Community College. These stackable
5IPage
certificates, and a 2 -year AAS Degree, have been developed through ESWC's longstanding
partnerships with Aims Community College in our role in the Building/Construction
Management Trades Advisory Committee. Currently ten (10) Certificates are available and are
included in the Building Construction Site Management 2 -year degree. Through articulation
agreements between Aims Community College and Colorado State University (CSU), courses
are transferrable towards a BS degree in Construction Management at CSU. Classroom training
will include work site safety training as aligned with Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). Participants will complete a 10 hour training course through CareerSafe
to certify them in OSHA Construction Industry Safety Training. To complement the classroom
instruction provided through this project, participants will also receive on -site, on-the-job
experience and training through work -site hands on learning. This will be accomplished in
partnership with the Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity (Habitat). YouthBuild participants will
apply learned skills from the classroom setting directly on a build site. Furthermore, youth
participants will be mentored by a construction manager at all times while on the build site and
reinforce classroom activities. Additionally, all participants will be provided financial capability
training during their involvement with the project, and efforts will be made to link them with
local banks/saving institutions involved with the Community Reinvestment Act to assist with
financial literacy and education programs.
Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity has a strong community presence, established
relationships with builders and maintains a high level of respect. Currently, they have an
additional 27 residential building sites to continue the project -based learning that will take place
with this initiative. It is estimated that the current building sites will provide an avenue for the
current project -based learning for approximately 10 years.
Wage
While the target population for this initiative is out -of -school youth, at -risk in -school, and
with an intentional strategy to enroll in -school youth who face significant barriers to
employment, Youth Build Weld County will work with Jefferson High School students to
enhance a school based Construction Program. This program includes course work consisting of
Construction I, II and III, followed by Computer Aided Drafting and Design. Course work will
be infused with geometry and physics principles that are embedded within the construction
process. Students enrolled in this Construction Program spend 10 hours in the classroom each
week learning basic skills in construction principles, tool identification, blueprint reading, jobsite
safety, geometry and physics. Students are provided the opportunity to apply their learning on
the job site where approximately 20 hours are spent on the actual building of residential housing
in partnership with the Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity. Students apply classroom learning
and technical skills to work throughout the building process from start to finish. Students are
exposed to soil sampling, excavating, pouring footings and foundations to the end product of
finish work consisting of drywall, base and case, paint, installation, rough frame, exterior finish,
roofs, windows, doors and setting trusses.
Specific curriculum to be used in this course is the Geometry and Construction
Curriculum; Print Reading for Construction 6th ed. Brown, Walter, C.; and software application
training in AutoDesk Revit Architecture. Course Outlines and syllabi are included for further
information.

During the four -month planning period ESWC, through its partnership with the State of
Colorado's Apprenticeship USA grant, will work on establishing registered apprenticeships
within the construction industry in the Weld County area. It is our intent that the apprenticeships
developed will then be utilized by YouthBuild participants, as well as other programs, well
beyond the life of the grant. With strong commitment and support from the Governor's office,
the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the Colorado Workforce Development
Council, the Weld County Workforce Development Board and with the launch of CareerWise
Colorado (www.careerwisecolorado.org), ESWC is confident that registered apprenticeships will
be successfully established.
(2) Post —Program and Follow -Up Services
Since ESWC is the American Job Center for the Weld County area, and provides WIOA
services, participants will have access to attend workshops or work one-on-one with a staff
member to assist with resume preparation, interviewing skills, job searching, and transferrable
skills. They will also have the ability to use Virtual Job Shadow through Connecting Colorado,
the state data management system, to learn about desired careers. Program staff will work with
local employers; Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado, both of
which serve on the WDB, to offer career pathways tours to the participants. Tours will allow the
students to not only visit the campus but learn about the education required in their desired field.
Participants will visit the employers and gain information about the specific role of the positions
they may be interested in. These tours will be offered to participants on a quarterly basis. The
Work Readiness Credential will be given to participants to ensure their aptitude of soft skills as
they are highly desired in the workplace. If an individual does not receive a score that is required
8IPage
to obtain the Work Readiness Credential, they will have the option to remediate in specific areas
to increase their knowledge allowing them to test and obtain the credential proving to employers
they are proficient with soft skills.
Prior to exiting the program, participants will have access to a variety of assessments that
can be completed in ESWC's Assessment and Learning Lab. Some of these assessments may
include, but are not limited to: Career Ready 101, Future Plans, Personal Responsibility, Success
Profiler, Behavioral Traits Assessment, and a large assortment of skills testing. These
assessments will provide valuable information to the participant in regards to college and career
readiness. The results from the assessments will assist program staff with providing appropriate
services to the client and determining, as well as developing, a transition plan that works best for
the participant.
All participants who exit the program will be provided follow-up services, as appropriate,
for a minimum of twelve months. Participants who exit the program to unsubsidized employment
or post -secondary education/training will be eligible to receive services which assist them in
making the transition to work as well as to enable them to maintain their employment or be
successful entering post -secondary education. Prior to exiting the program, participants will be
made aware of the availability of the follow-up services and should understand that there will be
a certain number of contacts that will occur.
In addition to providing valuable customer service, follow-up services can also be used to
ensure that performance standards are met. Through systematic follow up with clients, case
managers can assure that the participant is aware of the services available to them, the services
that were provided to them by the program, that the participant is working the 2nc1 and 4t11 quarters
after exit, and that the participant feels that the program and services provided were of value.
9IPage
Follow-up contact will be based upon individual need and structured to best serve the individual.
Within the third quarter contacts, case managers will inform the participant that they will be
eligible for services for an additional four months and that if they are in need of services to
contact the case manager. Additional contacts after the 12th month contact will be appropriate to
the individuals need.
All participants, including individuals that receive a high school equivalency degree
versus a traditional high school diploma, will have the opportunity to visit with staff from Aims
Community College and the University of Northern Colorado to gain further knowledge of post-
secondary education and to coordinate tours in which participants will tour the campuses and
learn about various programs offered at each institution. Additional information will be provided
to include: how to apply for school, entrance requirements, and free application for student aid
(FAFSA). Staff will refer participants to local resources that may also provide support in the
transition into further post -secondary education.
(3) Employer Engagement Strategy
ESWC currently uses the provider Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI) to obtain
timely Labor Market Information (LMI). The data provides trends within the workforce which is
then analyzed to determine the focus of expended training dollars. Outreach to employers can be
accomplished in multiple ways. Outreach includes personal outreach to individual businesses by
ESWC staff; coordinated outreach with partner agencies, such as the Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation; mass outreach to employers within targeted sectors, such as construction; through
email newsletter updates titled "Did You Know"; and mass outreach to employers through the
use of the ESWC website.
ESWC maintains excellent business relationships throughout the county and employers
are provided information through presentations at Chambers and Economic Development
10IPage
meetings and through their respective email newsletters. Additionally, the Workforce
Development Board and its three sub -committees all have business representation and is an
excellent forum for employer engagement.
Another strategy which would be discussed and potentially implemented during the 4 -
month planning period is the engagement of employers and Youth Build Weld County partners
in a Youth Build Leadership Team. ESWC has seen great success with the use of a Leadership
Team on the Sector Partnership National Emergency Grant (SP-NEG), another grant ESWC
manages. The SP-NEG Leadership Team met monthly at the onset of the grant and after time
now meets on a quarterly basis. This forum has proved invaluable to verify that the data gathered
through the use of LMI is accurate and relevant to employers. This same style would be either
created or aligned with existing Leadership Teams as a method of engagement for the Youth
Build Weld County grant. Currently, in place are a Construction Advisory Council at Aims
Community College which including employers Hensel Phelps and Roche Construction, as well
as the Home Builders Association to mention a few. Another Construction Advisory Council
exists at Jefferson High School whose members include employer builders, contractors, and
developers. During the four month planning period, time would be available to analyze whether
an additional Leadership Team would be advantageous or whether an aligning with current
Construction Advisory Councils would be a better use of employers time. ESWC understands the
value in Leadership Teams and Advisory Councils; however, certainly does not want to establish
a meeting which is duplicative in nature to what currently exists. After the analysis is completed
during the planning phase, employer engagement will be fully implemented through one of the
aforementioned avenues. In any event, ESWC does not anticipate employer engagement to
become a problematic issue. Preliminary discussions with employers has already occurred.
11lPage
Habitat for Humanity has received three letters of support from sector driven entities willing to
support this initiative should this grant be awarded to Weld County. These letters are not
attached as they do not provide any type of match. As evidenced by the comments of support
from Jefferson High School "many of the advisory members have provided letters of support of
this Youth Build Weld County grant."
(4) Community Service Learning and Leadership Development
Through YouthBuild, ESWC, in conjunction with Community partners, will address a
genuine community need while utilizing different types of service learning opportunities. Youth
will have indirect and direct service learning by working on a community development that
clearly benefits the area and will interact face to face with individuals who will benefit from the
building of the housing. Hands on service learning is a great experience for out -of -school youth
that would not normally be afforded this opportunity. It provides youth with personal investment,
ownership and pride in the community.
Youth will continue their education studying a curriculum that will not only benefit them
during the length of the project but can be utilized in future endeavors. Aims Community
College, through the Career & Technical Education (CTE) program, prepares students to enter
the workforce with the technical skills needed to meet labor market demands. Utilizing their
certificate program, ESWC aims to create a pathway for stackable certifications in
Building/Construction Management. Using the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps
(WCYCC) model, youth that exhibit interest in leadership can assist in motivating, coordinating
and directing a team at the project site. This in turn will bring service learning integration full
circle if there is a change in leadership among the various teams. WCYCC operates an
AmeriCorps grant and has used the youth corps model as a vehicle to make positive impacts
within the community. This has proven to be effective with a diverse youth population to include
121 Page
reentry of youth returning to the community from a variety of levels within the Department of
Youth Corrections.
(5) Partners
ESWC has a long history of demonstrated and effective partnerships dating back to the
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). During the JTPA era, ESWC was a pioneer in Colorado,
and perhaps in the Nation, by implementing a true One Stop approach in the Workforce arena.
This model included establishing a strong foundation of partnerships which remain strong today.
In preparation of the YouthBuild initiative, planning meetings with key partners and community
stakeholders took place over the course of several weeks prior to writing a single page of the
grant. This phase of planning was critical to the long-term success of this initiative. Community
stakeholders and partners collectively determined ESWC was the most appropriate entity to
apply for YouthBuild funding based on our long history of successful program development and
implementation while identifying how partners would each support and contribute to the
initiative with the overall goal to expand local opportunities for at -risk youth while positively
impacting critical affordable housing needs. Key partners include Greeley Area Habitat for
Humanity, Aims Community College and School District 6.
For this grant proposal, the Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity will dedicate a minimum
of one house build to be fully completed by YouthBuild participants. Habitat will commit to the
fundraising efforts required to accomplish this build and will provide essential onsite
construction management to ensure meaningful experiences are realized by YouthBuild program
participants. Habitat has existing partnerships with local construction related employers and has
already begun to engage their Board of Directors in preparation of YouthBuild implementation
in Weld County. Aims Community College has existing stackable certificates which can equate
to a Building Construction Site Management two-year A.A.S. Degree and then aligns with the
131Page
Colorado State University Construction Management Bachelor's Degree. Having an industry
recognized and sustainable training plan to engage out -of -school youth is invaluable and will
lead participants directly into a much -needed talent pipeline of future workforce addressing the
current demand of the construction related trades. School District 6 will work in partnership with
both ESWC and Aims to serve the in -school population through Jefferson High School (JHS).
Jefferson is an alternative high school engaging opportunity/at-risk youth in an educational
setting. Students of JHS typically experience many barriers that traditional students may not.
Ninety-five percent of HIS students are behind on credits when they enroll at JHS or were
previous dropouts and 86.7% of JHS students qualify for free or reduced lunches. JHS has a
restructured staffing model to increase the number of interventionists for math and literacy. As
such, JHS has unique approaches to student engagement which include experiences related to
real world work opportunities, alternative styles of learning while offering onsite daycare to meet
the needs of parenting youth.
As confirmed in the attached letters of commitment, the aforementioned partners have
been included in the initial program development phase and are aware and committed to the
success of YouthBuild in Weld County.
Another exciting aspect of the Weld YouthBuild Grant, would be the development of
both pre -apprenticeships and apprenticeships. Colorado was recently awarded the
ApprenticeshipUSA grant for just that purpose. Weld County, known as being primarily rural
with an emerging urban area, has historically not been overly active in the availability or use of
the apprenticeship training model. Due to the geographical location, the majority of Registered
Apprenticeships are located in the greater Denver Metro Area. However, ESWC is confident that
pre -apprenticeships and apprenticeships are valuable training models and is committed to
141 Page
working with employers in the development of registered apprenticeships. The commitment is so
strong that ESWC invested in sending key ESWC staff to two recent Registered Apprenticeship
trainings. The first was through the MAFO Conference (National Partnership of Farmworker and
Rural Organizations formerly Midwest Association of Farmworker Organizations) held in San
Antonio, TX on April 11 — 14, 2017. An Apprenticeship Workshop presented by TX Workforce
Commission Apprenticeship Director, Desi Holmes on Apprenticeship was attended by two
ESWC personnel. Secondly, a Registered Apprenticeship Bootcamp was held April 26, 2017,
which four ESWC staff attended along with five ESWC partners (three from Aims Community
College and two from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation). Maria Brady, with the US
DOL Office of Apprenticeships, provided thorough information on the value of apprenticeships.
The interest and commitment which Employment Services has in developing pre -apprenticeships
and apprenticeships is extremely strong as evident by the monetary expenditures spent on
apprenticeship trainings mentioned above. It is fully expected that during the four -month
planning period of the Youth Build Weld County grant, that a viable, sustainable apprenticeship
model will be established. ESWC has many relationships which can be further explored given
the time of the planning period. To name just a few of the avenues to be pursued, the Weld
County Workforce Development Board (WDB) is in the process of appointing an apprenticeship
facilitator; partner Aims Community College has a construction program of which ESWC staff
sit on the Advisory Committee, and both School District 6 and the Greeley Area Habitat for
Humanity currently have an employer base committed to serving the community. To highlight
just one of these partnerships: not only is there continued involvement on the Advisory
Committee at Aims Community College, ESWC was instrumental in advocating for and
participating in the very creation of the Construction Trades Curriculum at Aims. Through the
151 Page
MIST program, ESWC was instrumental in the collaborative effort of creating Aims' first two
stackable certificate programs; participated as those certificates morphed and expanded into eight
certificates; and was engaged as it further evolved to a two year degree. The importance of
serving the community as advisors on these committees should be stressed as it highlights how
ES WC is a recognized expert in acting as a liaison between industry identified sector needs and
education partners. ESWC serves on not only on the Construction Advisory Committee, ESWC
also serves on the closely related Industrial Technology Advisory Committee. ESWC's
commitment to participating and developing these paths is well known throughout the county.
When at the High School level, Weld County District 6 began exploring an Advisory Committee,
ESWC was immediately asked to participate. The inaugural meeting will be held on May 16,
2017. Each of these relationships, along with other business ties, will likely produce even
stronger, more meaningful results through the joint development of pre -apprenticeships and
apprenticeships through the Weld YouthBuild Grant.
In addition to the advisory committees and other means of engagement, key management
and other staff from ESWC are active participants in the two major Sector Partnerships within
Northern Colorado: the NOCO Manufacturing Partnership and the Northern Colorado Healthcare
Sector Partnership. It is important because ESWC participates at every level of the partnerships
from convening teams to the workhouse subcommittees. These industry led partnerships are
prime examples of how information flows from Sector Partnerships to Workforce (ESWC) and
back to educator partners such as Aims Community College. First hand industry knowledge of
workplace needs is fed directly to the Advisory Committees on which ESWC serves. Why is this
important? Quite simply, the Construction Industry is on the cusp of being classified as an
"Emerging Sector" in Northern Colorado. Just as with the NOCO Manufacturing Partnership and
161 Page
the Northern Colorado Healthcare Sector Partnership, ESWC will be a leader in the Construction
Sector Partnership as it becomes a reality in Northern Colorado. ESWC will be at the table as
industry leaders unite to discuss common issues and look to workforce and education partners to
assist. With the expertise, ESWC has shown in the other Sector Partnerships, ESWC will be
primed to assist and support the Construction Sector, as well.
(6) Outreach, Recruitment, Selection, and Retention:
ESWC has the benefit of being co -located with many partner agencies some of whom are
mandated partners under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014. Being a true
One -Stop center, ESWC houses multiple programs which provide services to individuals that
would benefit from this opportunity and would be determined eligible. Examples of these
programs include: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Wagner Peyser, Trade
Act (TAA), Community Services Block Grant Act (Veterans), Social Security Act (TANF),
Food and Nutrition Act (EF), and Community Service Act of 1990 (AmeriCorps). Located
within the Department of Human Services campus, partnering with Child Welfare and
Assistance Payments would allow recruitment of individuals that are in foster care or former
foster care youth as well as individuals that are receiving public assistance and are considered
low income.
ESWC works closely with community agencies that are also mandated partners.
Collaborating with adult education partners (Right to Read and Aims Community College), and
the rehabilitation act (Department of Vocational Rehabilitation) would allow for further
opportunities to find interested individuals. Another mandated partner, the Second Chance Act,
allows ESWC to work closely with the 19th Judicial District and the Colorado Department of
Corrections. The 19th Judicial District encompasses juvenile probation, adult probation, and
171 Page
Senate Bill 94 which provides pre-trial services to juveniles while parole is under the Colorado
Department of Corrections. Individuals that work with these agencies are referred to ESWC to
receive services and would greatly benefit from this program.
Staff at ESWC have recently strengthened relationships with School District #6.
Working closely with the school district, specifically Jefferson High School, would allow for
outreach and recruitment for up to 25% in -school participants. The collaboration between
ESWC, the mandated partners, and school districts would allow staff to recruit a diverse
population and reach full enrollment.
Historically, ESWC has provided opportunities to diverse populations and has focused on
serving a large percentage of out -of -school youth through programs such as WIA, and WIOA.
Through these programs staff have provided opportunities to participants to learn about non-
traditional careers and receive hands on experience in these fields. ESWC has focused on and
developed a non-traditional careers effort partnering with Monfort Inc. (a meat packing plant)
and Aims Community College to train females to become industrial maintenance technicians.
Attending Colorado Construction Career Days in Adams County gives participants hands on
experience and knowledge about various construction trades to include: pipefitter, HVAC,
welder, and equipment operator. Program staff have taken participants to this event annually and
have a high number of female attendees.
(7) Staffing Plan
ESWC has a long history of staffing and administering Employment and Training
programs made available through the U.S. Department of Labor. ESWC consistently meets or
exceeds prescribed performance outcomes for each of the related programs to include the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and currently the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
18 I Page
(WIOA). Past performance indicators confirm that ESWC is well positioned to respond quickly
and effectively upon notice of award.
During the initial planning period of four months, ESWC will immediately dedicate
existing staff to work in partnership with the identified key partners, as well as related employers
and community agencies, to finalize and launch implementation strategies of Youth Build Weld
County. ESWC will recruit, hire and engage associated staff during the planning phase to include
a YouthBuild Case Manager who will work with youth participants from the time of enrollment
through the twelfth month of follow up. Providing a continuum of continuity has proven to be
extremely successful as demonstrated with JTPA, WIA and currently with WIOA. It allows
youth participants to build relationships, gain trust and confidence with a single Case Manager
beginning with the application and eligibility determination process. This also enables the Case
Manager to provide the necessary level of support to ensure the participant is successful, to
include effectively addressing and overcoming barriers to employment. This initiative will also
include a Job Developer who will work closely with the YouthBuild Case Manager and the
ESWC Business Services team. The YouthBuild Job Developer will be directly involved with
the emerging Construction Sector Partnership. While the Case Manager will conduct follow-up
services, the Job Developer will remain connected with YouthBuild participants as needed and
will respond quickly to reconnect youth with employment opportunities as needed following
program completion. ESWC will recruit and hire a Project Manager who will oversee 100% of
the activities on the build site(s) and will be the sole subcontracted position, in partnership with
the Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity. The Project Manager will work closely with the Youth
Build Weld County Case Manager, Job Developer as well as additional AJC staff In addition,
the Project Manager will support and build relationships between YouthBuild participants and
19IPage
local construction employers to foster opportunities for youth participants to gain insight into the
Construction Career Pathway while building essential soft skills that employer's desire. A Crew
Leader will be recruited and hired to supervise and transport participants between project sites,
ES WC, and Aims Community College. The Crew Leader will assist the Project Manager and
additional AJC staff. Youth Build Weld County will also have overall program support and
oversight throughout the life of the grant by the existing Youth Programs Manager who has
experience with Employment and Training programs dating back to 2007.
As briefly mentioned, the Case Manager will take a primary role during the follow-up
phase of Youth Build Weld County. Follow-up services will be available for a full twelve-month
period and will include but is not limited to: career counseling to increase employment retention;
reattachment to employment as necessary; supportive services as appropriate to maintain
employment; tracking of participant performance outcomes; and connectivity with additional
resources to enable youth participants to continue educational and employment goals. As a
community, Weld County recognizes the value of building the future workforce and developing
a talent pipeline. As such, Weld County Commissioners established the Bright Futures program.
Set up as a workforce development fund, the Weld County Bright Future Grant Program is a
tuition assistance program for Weld County residents who graduate from high school, obtain a
high school equivalency diploma, or those who are Honorably Discharged US Veterans. It is
funded by donations from taxpayers who receive tax incentive credits for their contribution. All
eligible YouthBuild participants will receive support from their case manager to apply and
receive Bright Futures funding to continue their education. Youth who are able to access Bright
Futures funding while actively engaged with Youth Build Weld County will utilize those
available funds to conserve YouthBuild funding to maximize the impact of the award.

ESWC has longevity within the existing Youth Programs team attesting to ESWC's
ability to retain staff Youth Program staff have each been employed with Weld County between
four and eleven years. ESWC's ability to engage and retain employees supports an overall
mission to quickly implement new initiatives, such as Youth Build Weld County. Having
historical programmatic knowledge, experience with eligibility determination, program oversight
and fiscal management is invaluable and drastically reduces the risk associated to awarding
ESWC YouthBuild grant funds. In the event of staff turnover, ESWC is well positioned to
respond quickly to fill the vacant position. This will be accomplished by working in partnership
with Weld County Human Resources team to announce, recruit, select and hire a new staff to fill
any and all vacancies. Additionally, all Weld County jobs are posted with the AJC to expand the
recruitment area and approach. ESWC will continue program activities and will adjust existing
positions to ensure any disruption to the Youth Build Weld County initiative will be minimal.
Youth participants will not experience gaps in the delivery of services.
(8) Organizational, Administrative, and Fiscal Capacity
ESWC's mission is to keep the workforce system responsive to employers, employees
and job seekers. Weld County, through Employment Services of Weld County, has been on the
cutting edge for innovative employment and training programs designed to best meet local needs
while serving a broad spectrum of customers. In 1982, Weld was the only county in Colorado
that opted to implement the state's Welfare Diversion Program. Through the course of this
program; along with the Job Alternative Program, the Work Incentive Program (WIN),
Community Work Experience Program, and the Colorado Jobs Demonstration Project, a variety
of modifications and waivers were requested and implemented. Interestingly enough, there is a
strong similarity of what was developed in those programs to the requirements that were
211 Page
established under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program that is operated today.
In the mid 1990's ESWC responded to the states initiative to determine how best to
structure and create a One -Stop Workforce system. In an effort to determine how the state could
best develop a One -Stop environment, representatives from the Governor Romer administration
visited numerous areas across the state to view and assess how programs and services were
structured and provided. After visiting Weld County and viewing the numerous programs
operated by Employment Services, as well as our organizational structure, the Governor
determined that all workforce areas across the state should have the flexibility to structure
employment programs in a way that best met local needs, while providing local structure and
control similar to the Weld County model. On the following page, a full organizational chart
represents ESWC's current programs and staffing.
As noted previously, Weld County is well versed at managing funds from various
streams. In 2016, Weld County had a TABOR revenue limit margin of over $123.5 million. In
addition to comfortably accepting additional funding, ESWC is prepared to submit quarterly
financial reports, narrative and performance progress utilizing the Youth Programs Manager and
Support Specialist as the administrative support for YouthBuild.

(D) Budget and Budget Justification
Please refer to the Budget Narrative and Budget Information Worksheet that is uploaded
within the application.
(E) Past Performance — Programmatic Capability for Category A Applicants
Not applicable
(F) Past Performance —Programmatic Capability for Category B Applicants
ESWC's past performance metrics and spending rate analysis on a prior grant is attached
and titled "PastPerformanceChart" Please note that the Colorado Department of Labor and
Employment suggests that local areas carry approximately 30% of their program funding
forward into the next program year. This supplements until Federal funding is issued October l sc
three months after the end of the program year, June 30'1'. Although the Youth grant only
receives program funding; this process has become best practice for all of ESWC's funding.

Introduction
'l'he Youth Build Weld County program will provide participants
with a two-part training plan. This plan will include education

Training Scope
Including Objectives,
Goals and Assumptions
The objective of the construction training plan is to assist
participants with obtaining already existing stackable certifications
in Building/Construction Management through Aims Community
College while addressing the issues of affordable housing.
Participants will complete a minimum of one house build project
while attending courses allowing participants to gain on -site work
experience.
Training Strategies
The Youth Build Weld County training strategy is to provide
training with existing stackable certificates through Aims
C o mmunity College which can assist participants with continuing
through the career path of Building/Construction Management.
During the four month planning period, specific certificates will be
determined to best fit the project needs. Examples of the courses that
we expect to be included are: Basics of Construction Management,
Basics of Construction Methods, Basic Structural Properties,
Carpentry, Green and Sustainable Building, Project Estimating. By
attending courses at Aims, participants will gain knowledge and
experience in the classroom and will carry this over to the project
site. While participants are at the project site, they will have the
ability to gain experience in the areas that were taught in the
classroom. The instructor and Crew Leader will continue to teach
skills and provide instruction to the participants while they gain
additional work experience.
Roles and
Responsibilities
Instructors at Aims Community College will provide classroom
training throughout each semester to participants. Habitat for
Humanity personnel will have oversight of the worksite. Participant
on -site instruction will be through Habitat site managers and
coordination with Aims instructors. This on the job training will
support the classroom training as well as provide additional training
and techniques during the building process. A Crew Leader from
Employment Services of Weld County will transport participants
from Aims Community College to the project site and will supervise
and assist with the hands on learning.

Travel:
Youth Program Manager
$1,849
$28,424
The Case Manager and Job Developer will travel throughout Weld County for recruitment, job
placement, monitoring, and follow-up visits. It is estimated that staff will log an average of 150
miles per month for a total of 6000 miles during the lifetime of the grant. Weld County
reimburses mileage at a rate of $0.515 per mile.
Mileage reimbursement 6000 @ $0.515 per mile $3,090
The estimated number of out-of-state trips is one. Associated costs are undetermined and will be
highly contingent upon the location and time of year the travel occurs. Weld County has a long
history of outstanding fiscal management and will ensure that any travel is approached in a
conservative manner and only approved as reasonable and necessary. Weld County does not
support per diem allowances rather direct reimbursement will be allowable for preapproved and
planned training development opportunities. When applicable, meal reimbursements must be
reasonable and allowable per county policy and may be denied as necessary.
Out -of -State Travel: $3,000

Budget Narrative
Additional supplies will not be necessary to implement this grant. Any items that may be needed
will be leveraged by the Employment Support Funds which are State funds.
Contractual:
Employment Services proposes to award a sub recipient to the Greeley Area Habitat for
Humanity for a Project Manager. It's strongly believed this strategy will position Youth Build
Weld County to meet or exceed all performance standards while supporting Construction
Management and related Career Pathways for participants. Habitat estimates this position to
include $70,000 in salaries and $8,000 in fringe per year. This position will not exceed the two-
year program implementation phase but is estimated to be equivalent to 18 months for a
combined total cost of $117,000.
Construction: $0.00
Other:
Supportive Services will be provided to participants when the need is determined and as
reasonable to necessary. Supportive Services will be provided to enable youth to participate in
their required activities as related to YouthBuild. This may include transportation assistance,
books and supplies for vocational courses, or specialized tools or safety equipment necessary for
employment.
Supportive Services: $50,000

To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is provided to support the work of Employment Services of Weld County as the lead in the
application for the US Department of Labor YouthBuild grant.
Aims Community College's serving area coincides with the service area of Employment Services of Weld
County, and over the years a strong partnership has been formed between our organizations. Together we have
shared goals when addressing the low-income communities, and through this grant opportunity, we will be
working towards the education and employment of underrepresented youth.
Aims Community College commits to be a full partner with Employment Services of Weld County and our
role will include, but will not be limited to: scheduling construction courses to accommodate the schedule of
the students served by the grant, provide academic advising to the students as it relates to construction
stackable certificates and the Building Site Management A.A.S. Degree, encourage student participation,
retention and graduation, schedule classes throughout Weld county to better serve rural students when there
is a high enough demand, and allow YouthBuild staff to interact with the students on our campuses and attend
classes if they should so choose. The college will participate in the planning period, and will develop the most
effective processes to ensure great communication with partners, as well as data sharing. Lastly, the college
will provide Employment Services of Weld County with any required reporting for the purposes of the grant.
The college will commit 10% of the $50,856 yearly salary of the Director for the Center for Workforce and
Innovation as in -kind match to be used for the purposes of the grant. We will record and report on this match
each year, or more often if required and the records will follow the regulations specified at 2 CFR 200.306.
Thus the match provided is $5,085 per year ($423.80 per month), for a total of $16,952 for the 40 months
grant performance period. This salary is being currently paid through institutional funds and there are no
federal funds used, or any other restrictions that would make the match ineligible.

To Whom it May Concern:
This letter is provided to support the work of the Employment Services of Weld County in the application for a YouthBuild
grant.
Employment Services of Weld County has identified the urgent need to provide education, occupational skills training,
leadership development and post -program placement opportunities to at -risk youth within Weld County.
Weld County School District 6 is in full support of this endeavor. Our Career Pathway programming and opportunities for
concurrent enrollment meet the mission, purposes and values of the Employment Services of Weld County's YouthBuild
grant application. District programming extends career pathways into high schools and enhances the transition and
access to postsecondary education for students who have been historically underserved and underrepresented in higher
education. Jefferson High School, the alternative high school in our community, has developed a Construction Pathway
that allows students to participate in the homebuilding process through Habitat for Humanity. This partnership has
benefited students in providing them the opportunity to develop construction skills that will support their livelihood and
an avenue for students to give back to the community. Additionally, students may earn industry certificates and work
towards post -secondary certificates through Aims Community College in the Construction program. We believe our
programs dovetail with the goal and mission of the YouthBuild grant.
In support of the YouthBuild application Weld County School District 6 is willing to provide the following match
contribution using State funding:
1. Classroom space for the program - 184 days x 4 hrs/day x $7/hr - $5,152
2. 50% of the FTE of the Jefferson High School Construction Teacher - 50% x $73,116/year x 3 years - $ 109,674
3. 20% of the FTE of the Jefferson High School Principal - 20% x $149,886/year x 3 years - $89,932
4. 5% of the FTE of the Assistant Director of Student Support & CTE - 5% x $96,168/year x 3 years - $14,425
5. 5% of the FTE of the Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools - 5% x $159,900/year x 3 years - $23,985
For a total match contribution of $243,168.
The YouthBuild funding will enhance the future of our students residing in Weld County and complements current career
pathway programming in Weld County School District 6. As the Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools, I am
happy to provide this letter in support of the goals and vision of the YouthBuild grant proposal.

Construction Management Pathway Program's impact to serve a greater number of participants, reach
outlying Weld County communities, and provide tangible construction job training and educational
opportunities for at -risk youth. The added benefit is YouthBuild funds invested will provide crucially
needed affordable homes for low-income families, who are earning between 30-60% of the annual
median income of Weld County.
The source of funds is coming from GAHFH land reserves, our general fund from home mortgages
revenues, home sponsorships, our GAHFH ReStore revenues and other community funding partners like
the City of Greeley and the town of Hudson. The DOLA YouthBuild funding would significantly build
capacity for this program, resulting in increased employment and educational success for underserved
Weld County youth.
Sincerely,
