SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROJECT GRANT WITH NATIONAL COUNCIL ON THE AGING, INC ,APPROPRIATIONS .ORDINANCES REGARDING FUNDING OF SUCH PROJECT, AND LEGAL AGREEMENT REGARDING SAME DISCUSSION The City of Forf Worth has administered the Senior Community Service Employment Project (SCSEP) since 1976 The major objective of the SCSEP is to provide subsidized, part-time training in the public and/or qualified private, non-profit sector for individuals fifty-five (55) years of age or older Program participants must be unemployed, underemployed, or have experienced difficulty in securing employment The proposal calls for strong efforts to secure unsubsidized employment by the participants after they have completed training We expect to serve 121 participants and place 37 in unsubsidized employment Two years ago, a new aspect of service to participants became available through an auxiliary plan noted as the 502(e) project At NCOA's instruction, we are requesting 515,000 in 502(e) funds ° Income eligibility for applicants to the 502(e) program is approximately 51,000 higher than for the regular Title V SCSEP project 502(e) funds allow participants to be placed with private sector employers for either part- or full-time, short-term (up to 6 weeks), try-out employment experience at no expense to the employers We expect to serve 10 and place 8 participants i~n unsubsidized employment through this auxiliary plan The interim funding of 5156,375 from the unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance is a temporary measure that is designed to ensure the smooth transition from one grant funding period to another Upon execution of the Legal Agreement with NCOA, the interim funding will be returned to the unreserved, undesignated fund At the end of May 1995, a total of 183 individuals had been served in SCSEP this year, twenty- eight (28) have been placed in unsubsidized employment, 118 were still enrolled The National Council on the Aging, Inc 's share of the total budget of 5695,000 is 5625,500 The remaining 569,500 is an In-Kind Match of services which is the value of the training site supervisory functions performed by the agencies which train the subsidized program participants plus the waived indirect cost by the City for administrative services in selecting the agencies and acting as intermediary with NCOA City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and
