February, 1967
August, 1967 - I went to work for Armour & Company also of Houston, Texas. The
reason for this was that Armour was much closer to home and the
salary also was a little better. My job -with Armour & Company
was that of Laboratory Technician and doing laboratory analysis
on all meat and meat by- products including, hides, tankage and
tallow.
August, 1967
August, 1968 - I left Armour & Company for a position as Assistant Executive
Directob for the Jim Wells County Community Action Agency in
Alice, Texas. As Assistant Executive Director, I was responsible
for the direct supervision of the Neighborhood Service Center
component and the supervision of its professional and sub -pro-
fessional staff. Out of the Neighborhood Center program such
programs as community organization, resource development, nutri-
tion, information and referral, outreach, transportation, GED,
day care and other services were developed.
While Assistant Director, I assisted the city of Alice in the
preparation of a Model Cities application to the Housing and
Urban Development.
August, 1968
September, 1970 - In August of 1968, I was named as Executive Director of the
Sleberg County Community Action Agency, Kingsville, Texas by
its Board of Directors. This agency operated on a budget of
some 8750,E both federal and local share. As Executive Director,
I was responsible for the successful implementation of all programs
as per the Board's recommendations. The programs operated by this
agency included Program Administration, Neighborhood Service Centers,
Youth and Community Development, Head Start, Senior Opportunities
and Services, Day Care and others. The total staff for this
agency was composed of 20 professionals, 30 sub or para - professionals
and 20 non - professionals. One of the agency's major accomplishments
was the development of a cooperative supermarket composed of some
600 member families which was accomplished in a period of six
months.
Services provided through the Neighborhood Service Centers
included outreach, referral and follow-up, :neighborhood and
community development, Project FIND, transportation, nutrition,
GED, community involvement, economic development and many other
services. While Executive Director of this agency, I assisted
the city and county in the preparation of a neighborhood facili-
ties proposal which was prepared and submitted to the Housing
and Urban Development.

September, 1970
May, 1973 - In September of 1970,1 was employed by The National Council on
the Aging, Inc. as Regional, Representative for Region VI. This
region is comprised of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and
New Mexico.
My responsibilities include providing technical assistance to
local private non - profit agencies, public agencies, communities
and state agencies in the development of sound meaningful programs
for the elderly. I also provide training to professionals in the
field of aging, sub - professionals working out in the field and
recipients of services in the better understanding of the program's
goals and objectives. I have provided training in such areas as
income, transportation, nutrition, employment, economic development,
housing, program development, senior centers, community organization
and development, and many other topics.
Many economic development projects I have assisted in developing
have been agricultural cooperatives involving poultry, livestock
and produce, marketing of goods and articles produced by the elderly.
In October of 1971, I was named to serve on an Advisory Committee
on Mexican- American elderly for the Senate Special Committee on
Aging, a position I still serve.
I have written many papers regarding the problems and plight of
the elderly and I have had some published. Presently I have been
asked to write for a now magazine called "Progressive Life." This
magazine will cater to people who are 55 years of age and older.
While regional representative for the National Council on the Aging,
I have been either directly or indirectly responsible for some
8 million dollars worth of programs and services for the elderly
from Soptember of 1970 through December of 1972.
I have received various letters of commendations and other awards
of merit from several elderly groups that I have worked with.
Other work I have done while employed with The National Council on
Aging was the translation into Spanish of the monographs, "A Nutri-
tion Program for the Elderly" and 1114ini -Cost Programs and Services
for the Elderly ". During November of 1972 I testified before the
Senate Special Committee on Aging's Sub - Committee on Long Term Care.
This testimony will soon be published. One major accomplishment was
the development of a research and demonstration program in two South
Texas rural counties which involves men over 55 years old and deals
with livestock breeding and production. This program is still
continuing.
Another qualification I have developed while employed by the council
is public speaking both formal and informal in English and Spanish
before any size of audience.

SECTION VII - PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
The County of Nueces has joined the City of Corpus Christi in a cooperative
way so that the Senior Community Services program can be expanded countywide.
The purpose of this supplemental Title III Grant application is to strengthen
and develop the program through staff and equipment countywide.
A. OBJECTIVES
1, a. To hire staff necessary to expand the program countywide. Initial
Title III funds coupled with City General Revenue Sharing funds
limited the scope of the program to within the city limits of Corpus
Christi.
b. To establish two multi - purpose senior centers in Robstand north
lnitial
Corpus Christi to serve as focal points for aging programming.
funds enabled the establishment of only two senior centers. These
supplemental funds would enable the program to establish two more
centers that would more adequately serve persons 60 years of age and
older.
c. To provide transportation services to the elderly thereby providing
them the opportunity to utilize all available resources much more
readily. The mini -buses requested by the grant would increase the
fleet already available through Title III, VII and Revenue Sharing
funds. The vehicles this supplemental grant would allow would provide
a much more comprehensive system with broader coverage.
d. To develop and expand recreational and supportive services programs
for the elderly through the two additional centers. Initial Title III
funding was found to be limited in its funds for the purchasing of
basic equipment and supplies both for the office and recreation.
This supplemental grant would provide the needed equipment and sup-
plies for the entire program as well as the development of these serv-
ices in two additional centers.
e. To coordinate programs and services countywide rather than just the
city. Now that the county has made available Revenue Sharing funds,
the necessity for coordination countywide will have to be developed
and maintained in daily operation.
f. To provide basic and important information in three ways: (1) The
new centers would disseminate daily needed information to the elderly
participants; (2) outreach efforts provided would also provide infor-
mation in the field; (3) the newsletter allowed under the initial
grant would be made available countywide.
-1-
0 0
2. The above objectives were incorporated in the initial Title III Grant.
application which was subsequently approved. Since the County has joined
the City, these objectives will be maintained so as to have uniformity of
the program.
The program director has in the past, met with several aging groups and
individuals as well as members of state and local agencies. Members who
reside outside the city and members who work outside the city limits have
expressed time and again the hope that these same services available
through the Senior Community Services program could be expanded county-
wide.
3. Initial Title III application related that meetings were held prior to
the development and submission. These meetings were attended by elderly
persona, agency representatives. Again, there were elderly present who
were from outside the city limits. Agency representatives were from
agencies whose scope of operation included countywide operation. The
result of these meetings resulted in the formulation of the objectives.
It is therefore correct to inject that older people were involved.
B. ADMINISTRATION
1. Organization of Applicant Agency
a. The charts that are included explain the overall organizational
structure of the applicant agency. The second chart more closely
identifies the organizational structure in terms of responsibilities
of the division where the nutrition program would be placed.
b. The City of Corpus Christi has operated under the Council - Manager
form of government since October 1945. An elected Mayor and Six
member Council determine policy, and the City Manager administers
all affairs of the City. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the
City Council and is the head of the City government with ample
emergency powers but no administrative or executive duties.
The Senior Community Services program was organized as a separate
division under the City's Planning and Urban Development Depart-
ment. This department was created in 1970 to provide a coordina-
tion of activities related to the improvement of the urban envir-
onment as it affects human needs. Ongoing responsibilities include
coordination with State and Federal agencies. .Other divisions
presently located within the Department of Planning and Urban De-
velopment are:
1) Neighborhood Improvement Program -- Charged with rehabilitation
or demolition of substandard housing;
-2-
0 0
2) Manpower Planning -- Charged with planning for and coordinating
manpower training programs in a thirteen - county area;
3) Community Renewal 701 Planning and Management Program -- Re-
sponsible for assisting city government in identifying and
eliminating social, economic and environmental problems;
4) Neighborhood Youth Corps (OS) and Mainstream -- Providing job
training and job placement services to disadvantaged youths and
adults, and
5) Current Planning which administers zoning and subdivision con-
trols.
The Senior Community Services Program was.developed as a result of
Revenue Sharing funds $61,000, Title III funds $65,000 and local
general revenue funds $21,000. Though this division has only
recently begun to operate, it does have the capability to provide
direct services to the elderly, particularly the low income and
minority elderly. Pending services that are to be provided by the
Senior Community Services include outreach, referral, information,
transportation, recreation, escort and related services as well as
counseling, education and others. These supportive services, other
than transportation and the outreach component, are to be provided
through multi - purpose senior centers, two of which are operating.
2. Project Director
a. As has been stated, Senior Community Services is a Division under
the Department of Planning and Urban Development. The Division
Head, who is also project director, is responsible for the objec-
tives as specified under the various programs. These objectives
include planning, coordination (under Revenue Sharing); transporta-
tion, outreach, referral, information, and recreation /supportive
services (under Title III); and nutrition and supportive services
(under Title VII).
The Division Head (program director) is responsible to the Depart-
ment Read for the implementation of the above programs, services and
responsibilities of planning and coordination.
b. Minimum qualifications of project director include graduation from
an accredited university or college with a master's degree in sociology/
psychology, gerontology or related fields, minimum of three years work

4. Relationship to Other Programs
As a result of the initial Title III funding coupled with Revenue
Sharing funds, the Senior Community Services has had the responsibility
for planning and for developing coordinative activities with existing
private non - profit agencies, state supported as well as federal supported
agencies and programs.
SAGE, Inc., Board of Directors, though independent, works closely
with Senior Community Services in that staff, hired by the Board of
Directors of SAGE, Inc., are provided to the City program for super-
vision and direction. Staff orientation also involves the staff hired
by SAGE. So far Senior Community Services has taken advantage of re-
sources from other agencies and, as a result, has been able to place
additional staff, ouch as through Operation Mainstream.
Outreach, referral and information serviceshave been coordinated With
such agencies as Community Action agency, Mental Health- Mental Retarda-
tion, State Department of Public Welfare, Social Security Administra-
tion, City- County Health- Welfare Department, Vocational Rehabilitation,
American Red Cross, and many others. Recreation and supportive activi-
ties have also been closely coordinated with these groups.
5. Public Information
a. How: The project will inform all potential beneficiaries about
the project's purposes, activities, and services through an active,
assertive, and continuing information program. The information
and referral portion of Senior Community Services has funds bud-
geted from General Revenue Sharing for this specific purpose. The
active support of the mass media will be sought, and their coopera-
tion and support are expected to be excellent. Promotion of the
project through newspaper, radio and television news programs
and talk shows, and through other public service agencies will
provide the widest possible dissemination of information about
the project to all potential beneficiaries. In addition, one of
the primary responsibilities of the project's staff will be to
inform the public about the project through their daily public
and private contacts and through their outreach efforts.
b. Outreach Efforts: The project initially will employ three out-
reach workers and one outreach supervisor. The energies of these
people will be directed toward assisting all senior citizens,
especially those most in need. The low- income aged, the aged of
ethnic minorities, the homebound aged, and elderly citizens in
general, comprise a minority group to which this project is dedi-
cated.
The project will actively seek to cooperate with, support, and
supplement as much as possible the outreach efforts of other
-5-
�J
C
agencies involved in the activities of the elderly. The mini-
bus service for the elderly will be an important adjunct to the
overall outreach efforts of the project.
c. Informing and involving personnel of other agencies and poten-
tial leaders: The composition of the Advisory Committee on Ag-
ing indicates the extent of involvement of other agencies in the
project's activities. The director of the project will be a mem-
ber of the Committee and will be able to inform the other members
of the project's programs and activities and keep them closely
involved on a continuing basis.
The project will publish a newsletter which will be sent to all
citizens 60 years of age and over and to all groups and agencies
involved in the delivery of services or other assistance to the
elderly. These efforts will be supplemented by periodic reports
and news of interest to the mass media.
In addition, a serious effort will be made to enlist elderly and
other citizens who would like to participate in the project as
volunteers to do specific types of work. These activities can be
made effective after specific needs of individual elderly citizens
or groups of elderly citizens are defined and programs designed in
which more volunteers may participate.
6. Advisory Committee
A 15 member advisory committee has been appointed by the City Council.
The committee is composed of representatives of senior citizens, and
senior citizens organizations. Three positions on the committee are
filled on a rotating basis by representatives of agencies which pro-
vide direct services to the elderly. The committee was selected to
reflect the ethnic and income composition of the elderly population in
the county. The duties of the committee are to advise the staff of
the Senior Community Services on matters of policy and programs.
See attached list of committee members.
7. Project Evaluation
Activity reports shall be maintained by the Director of the Senior
Community Services program and formal progress reports shall be sub-
mitted quarterly to the Director of the Department of Urban Develop-
ment, the Advisory Committee of Senior Community Services, and the
Governor's Committee on Aging. Informal reports shall be submitted
upon request to the Director of the Department of Urban Development
or Senior Community Services' advisory committee. On an annual basis,
a consultant shall be engaged to review and evaluate Senior Community
Services' activities and accomplishments. The results of their find-
ings shall be submitted to the above agencies.

8. Local Financial Support
The City of Corpus Christi General,Fund will be the primary source of
continued financial support. In addition, Nueces County has contri-
buted funds in support of the program. As the program develops, the
director will seek other sources of community support, such as civic
groups and private foundations. The City will be using over $60,000
per year to pay the salaries of the director and outreach staff of the
Senior Community Services and operate the information and referral
portion of the program.
The County's contribution includes $34,340 for a seven -month period
beginning December 1 through June 30, 1974. The twelve -month budget
will amount to about $50,000 from Revenue Sharing funds.

SECTION VIII - PROGRAM FOR DIRECT SERVICE PROJECTS ONLY
1. Service Area
The direct service project area is designed to encompass Nueces
County. Since 86.1 percent of the population of Nueces County
resides within the city limits of Corpus Christi, the programs
will initially be directed toward those senior cit #zens in Corpus
Christi. The census tracts in Corpus Christi with the greatest
concentrations of older people are outlined on the attached map.
The two proposed centers will be located in these tracts. As the
program develops outreach activities, these services will be extended
countywide.
Planning will begin immediately for the employment of staff that
will include activities and services in the City of Robstown.

2. Characteristics of Aged
There are 19,594 people in the planning area (Corpus Christi) 60 years
of age and older. Of this age group, 4,960 or 23.9 percent are Mexi-
can- American; 1,121 or 5.7 percent are Black, and 13,782 or 70.3 percent
are Anglo. There are 8,706 males and 10,888 females in this age group.
There is no information available concerning the socio- economic char-
acteristics of all persons to be served. The following socio- economic
characteristics are for those persons 65 years of age and older,
which represent 61.7 percent of the total population 60 and over.
There are 12,578 people 65 years of age and older in the planning
area. This includes 8.8 percent of the family heads, 29.1 percent of
the unrelated individuals, and 6.1 percent of all persons in the
planning area. In this age group, 23.6 percent are Mexican- American
and 5.2 percent are Black.
In the planning area, 10.3 percent of all persons whose income is
below the poverty level are 65 years of age and older. Of the unre-
lated individuals in this age group, 42.8 percent are listed as being
below the poverty level. This means that there were 4,067 persons
65 and over in Corpus Christi with less than a poverty level income
in 1969. This represented 34.2 percent of all persons 65 years or
older. Of the 4,067 elderly persons living in poverty in Corpus
Christi, 401 persons (9.9 percent) are Negro, and 1,380 persons (33.9
percent) are Mexican - American.
3. Description of Activities
The Senior Community Services shall be operated by a staff employed
through the City's revenue sharing funds. Preliminary meetings with
various senior citizens organizations indicate that establishing a
center, directed by a professional experienced in working with elderly
groups, is their first priority. Activities most desired are trans-
portation, recreation, and information and referral.
Transportation
The transportation component of Senior Community Services shall pro-
vide mini -bus service to senior citizens sixty -five years of age or
older who are without access to other facilities. The primary channel
through which this service shall be made available is a telephone sys-
tem.
Prospective recipients may call in at one of two centrally located
centers (general locale of centers will be in west and south sides)
to request this service, at which time a mini -bus will be dispatched.
A donation of 25 cents shall be requested at the time service is pro-
vided. Determination of the charge was based upon the existing rate
-2-
0 0
of the City's transit system and the need to offset at least some of
the operating costa for the service. However, the service will not
be denied to those who cannot donate.
To insure that all older persons, regardless of race, ethnic origin,
economic status, religious affiliation, etc., have ready access to
the proposed service, the mini -buses will be operated by two drivers,
one of whom will be bi- lingual, and the buses shall be dispatched upon
request to all eligible citizens (eligibility described above). Fur-
thermore, the sites of two proposed centers are so situated as to
provide maximum service to the greatest number of senior citizens need-
ing the service. The west and south sides of Corpus Christi have been
selected as the best locations for the accomplishment of Senior Com-
munity Services' objective. These areas contain the largest concen-
trations of senior citizens. Census tracts on the west side included
in the service area (census tracts 6, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16) contain 46.3
percent of all elderly persons living in poverty in Corpus Christi.
(1970 Census of Population and Housing).
Finally, the organization of Senior Community Services provides out-
reach personnel and an outreach supervisor who are charged with ex-
tending Senior Community Services' services in the field. Through
their contacts and research, coupled with a planned information and
referral service, government officials and the agency will be made
aware of the needs of all senior citizens.
Two mini -buses additionally planned will be operated by two full -
time drivers. Drivers shall be required to obtain a chauffeur's li-
cense. Proper insurance shall be taken out on each bus before it is
placed into operation.
Immediate objectives of Senior Community Services' transportation
service are to provide senior citizens with transportation to medi-
cal, recreational, and food facilities. Long range objectives are
to expand the service to more citizens by adding buses and improving
the overall system. Initial operational hours will be scheduled f,
7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If the problem of insuring private individu�
who carry passengers in their own care can be resolved, volunteers
will be paid mileage to supplement the transportation program by
carrying elderly passengers to needed service facilities.
Recreation
Several recreation programs for the elderly are presently operated
by the City at City Recreation Centers. In all cases, the senior
citizens share facilities with other groups. Recreation programs
sponsored by other organizations suffer from the same problem. The
City has received repeated requests to provide centers entirely for
the use of the elderly. A major objective of the recreation component
-3-
of the Senior Community Services proposal will be to provide loca-
tions where recreation programs for the elderly can be centralized,
which will be convenient to the majority of older people in the city.
Transportation will be provided to those who do not have other means
of getting to the centers. Through Senior Community Services' proposed
newsletters and information system, recreational programs can be ef-
fectively publicized to make senior citizens aware of various recrea-
tional activities and increase their participation.
A recreation supervisor has been employed to develop, coordinate,
and operate recreation programs in the two proposed centers. The
supervisor will be assisted using volunteer help or Operation Main-
stream trainees, and will divide her time between the two centers.
As use of the centers increase, recreation programs will be expanded
to reflect the desires of the center patrons.
Recreation activities currently in operation which are expected to be
continued through Senior Community Services or with Senior Community
Services' assistance are dances, covered dish socials, slide and lec-
ture programs, arts and crafts, sewing groups, cards, pool, and shuf-
fle board. For the most part, the proposed activities will be held
at one of Senior Community Services' centers. Each of the centers
will be stocked with basic recreational equipment including card
tables, pool tables, games, art supplies, and projectors and screens.
A donation will be requested to offset the cost of expendable sup-
plies for arts and crafts classes. Accumulated funds will 'be used
to buy new supplies. A small amount ($500) is budgeted for contract
services, to be used as needed for part -time help to conduct recrea-
tion programs. Whenever possible, qualified elderly citizens will be
hired for the part -time positions.
Information and Referral Service
A key element to Senior Community Services' success will be the de-
velopment of an information and referral service. There are two
major elements to this system. First, a telephone service at both
centers will enable senior citizens to call and request information
or services. Depending upon their needs, the Senior Community Serv-
ices staff will provide such information or refer that person to the
appropriate agency. Secondly, Senior Community Services proposes to
publish a newsletter monthly designed to reach all persons 65 years
of age or older in Nueces County. Eventually, the circulation will
be expanded to all persons 60 years of age or older.
The broad scope of the information and referral component of Senior
Community Services' proposals will require additional staff. Inten-
tions are to utilize the service of two senior citizens from Operation
Mainstream, a federal program to train older persons for public service
jobs. They will work part -time at $1.65 per hour on the newsletter and
-4-
0 0
other information related activities. After a year of training
through Operation Mainstream, these persons may continue to work
full -time at Senior Community Services or at another public service
job. In addition, $500 has been budgeted for contract services to
be used to hire part -time helpers. Special consideration will be
given to qualified elderly applicants.
Summary
The proposed activities of Senior Community Services are transpor-
tation, recreation, and information. The basic concepts for such
activities have been outlined. For more data on the organization
of Senior Community Services and Senior Community Services' objec-
tives, refer to the appropriate elements of this application. A
major part of the staffing of Senior Community Services will be the
responsibility of the City. The staff being requested by this grant
will be hired as soon as possible.

INTRODUCTION
C
The following proposal and budget outlines the use of funds for the development
of a multi - purpose senior center and accompanying supportive services. This
center is to be developed, along with staff, in the City of Robstown so that not
only senior citizens of Robstown proper can benefit of the center but senior
citizens from Driscoll and Bishop as well.
The budget is for a seven month period beginning December 1, 1973, and ending
June 30, 1973. This is the end of the first year operation of the city's
program. As the second year proposal is developed, both city and county re-
sources will be in unison.
PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
The p:;rpose for these funds is to establish a comprehensive program (i.e.,
multi - purpose senior center and supportive services) for the area of the county
that includes Robstown, Driscoll and Bishop.
A. Objectives
The objectives of such a comprehensive program for senior citizens are
the following:
1. Establish a multi- purpose senior center in the City of Robstown.
2. Hire appropriate staff with equipment to provide the necessary
programs and activities.
3. Establish transportation, outreach, referral, information, recrea-
tion and other supportive activities.
B. Administration
The administration of the program will be in the following manner:
The county's involvement allows for a joint city- county venture under
the auspices of the city's Senior Community Services Program.
The city has already submitted two proposals for funding: (1) Nutrition
Program; (2) Employment; that if funded, would be operated county wide.
C. Staff
The county's involvement would allow for the following staff pattern.
1. Outreach workers (2) -- These persons would provide the basic out-
reach, referral and information services. They would also assist
with senior center activities. Opportunity would be given that
these positions be filled by persons 60 years of age or older.
-1-
0
2. One receptionist r- This person would welcome persons to the center
as well as take in telephone calls. This person would also assist
in whatever clerical work needed as well as other duties in the
center.
3. One bus driver -- This person would provide transportation services
to and from the senior center as well as other places the elderly
needed to go.
4. One janitor -- This person would maintain the cleanliness of the
center as well as assist in whatever other activities were carried
on in the center.
D. Activities
1. Transportation - This service would provide transportation for the
elderly to and from the senior center, grocery store, food stamp
center, doctor or other places the elderly need to go.
2. Outreach - Seek and identify isolated elderly who have no relatives
and consequently live alone and who are isolated from society.
3. Referral - Referring elderly to appropriate programs and services
such as other agencies with direct services to the elderly that
are locally, state or federally funded (i.e., State Department of
Public Welfare, Food Stamps, Social Security Administration, Corpus
Christi- Nueces County Public Health and Welfare Department, etc.).
4. Information - Providing basic information on resource agencies in
the community and county and any other information that would be
of interest to them.
$. Recreation - The senior center would provide a place for companion-
ship and fellowship. Equipment would be available for arts, crafts,
ceramics, woodworking, leatherwork, cards, dominoes, bingo, reading,
etc.
6. Social Services - Other assistance that can be provided would be
counseling, education, direct assistance by representatives of
agencies, telephone reassurance, home visitation, employment and
other vital services.
E. Characteristics of the Aged
There would be approximately 3,000 elderly, 60 years of age or older,
that could benefit from this program. Of this number, approximately
37% or 1,139 people are considered to be living under the poverty guide-
lines as based on the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. Of the
3,000 elderly 60 years of age and older, 1,877, or 62 %, are Mexican -
American.

F. Budget Narrative
The budget enclosed is provided by Revenue Sharing funds and is for a
seven month period beginning December 1, 1973. This seven month period
allows the county to begin the second program year simultaneously with
the city on July 1, 1974.
The budget also reflects 100% county involvement. It does not show
any other participation such as from the City of Robstown, for example.

PART ZI •
PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
1. Applicant Agency
a. The charts that are included explain the overall organizational
structure of the applicant agency. The second chart more closely
identifies the organizational structure in terms of responsibilities
of the division where the nutrition program would be placed.
b. The City of Corpus Christi has operated under the Council - Manager
form of government since October 1945. An elected Mayor and six
member Council determine policy, and the City Manager administers
all affairs of the City. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the
City Council and is the head of the City government with ample
emergency powers but no administrative or.executive duties.
The Senior Community Services Program was organized as a separate
division under the City's Planning and Urban Development Depart-
ment. This department was created in 1970 to provide a coordina-
tion of activities related to the improvement of the urban envir-
onment as it affects human needs. Ongoing responsibilities include
coordination with State and Federal agencies. Other divisions
presently located within the Department of Planning and Urban
Development are;
1) Neighborhood Improvement Program -- Charged with rehabilitation
or demolition of substandard housing;
2) Manpower Planning -- Charged with planning for and coordinating
manpower training programs in a thirteen- county area;
3) Community Renewal 701 Planning and Management Program -- Re-
sponsible for assisting city government in identifying and
eliminating social, economic and environmental problems;
4) Neighborhood Youth Corps (OS) and Mainstream -- Providing
job training and job placement services to disadvantaged youths
and adults, and
5) Current Planning which administers zoning and subdivision con-
trols.
The Senior Community Services Program we developed as a resulK of
Revenue Sharing funds $61,000, Title III funds $65,000 and local
general revenue funds $21,000. Though this division has only
recently begun to operate, it does have the capability to provide
direct services to the elderly, particularly the low income and
minority elderly. Pending services that are to be provided by Ll,u
Senior Community Services include outreach, referral, information,
transportation, recreation, escort and related services as well as
-1-
• counseling, education and others. These supportive servict:e, •
than transportation and the outreach component, are to be provided
through multi - purpose senior centers, two of which are operating.
Even though the City is submitting the application for the nutrition
program, it is planned that thb meals portion of the program will
be contracted in toto. Only the supportive services function will
be directly administered and operated by the Senior Community Serv-
ices Program. In the past, the City has operated USDA summer pro-
grams which have been delegated to the schools (public) by the
City. It is presently felt that there are enough resources and
capable expertese in the project area that can provide the meals
portion of the program much more readily than the City.
c. Realistically, the City cannot be considered a minority agency. It
does, however, sponsor such programs that address themselves to
the needs of minority groups. Such examples already cited have
been the Manpower Planning component, Neighborhood Youth Corps (out -
of- school), Operation Mainstream, Neighborhood Improvement Program,
Senior Community Services and others. These programs are designed
to address the needs of minority or low income groups; however,
Senior Community Services specifically relates to the elderly.
d. The City of Corpus Christi presently does not operate a meals pro-
gram per se. One of the centers that is operated by the Senior
Community Services Program does have an activity (covered dish
luncheon) which takes place on a periodic basis. This, however,
involves no cost whatsoever and it involves 40 to 45 people once
each week.
e. It has been mentioned that, at the present time, the City does not
have the capability for developing and providing the meals portion.
It could, however, do so if need be. It is felt instead that there
are sufficient resources within the project area (Corpus Christi -
Nueces County) that are presently providing meals although not to
the elderly. In view of this, it is being proposed that the meals
portion of the program be contracted to institutions which are al-
ready in operation. Several potential contractors have been con-
tacted. These include the following:
1) Spohn Hospital -- This institution has been consulted about the
possibility of providing the special menus required by some of
the participants. This is particularly important to meals that
are home delivered to elderly people who may be convalescing
at home and are still too ill to prepare their own.
2) Chuckwagon Caterers -- This is.a private- profit corporation
which presently provides good, sound, nutritious meals to such
places as industrial and business sites, the Naval Air Station
and other places within the City.
3) West Oso School District -- This public school has the manage-
ment portion of the cafeteria contracted with ARA food Service
Company. Presently their one central kitchen is capable of pro -
viding the proper meals as are required by the program.
-2-
i
4) Corpus Christi Independent School District -- Though no formal •
contacts have been made, this school has a history of working
with the City in the past years in other lunch programs that
the City delegated to them.
5) capability�of providingpthea o
meals eitherwwithin their afacility,
or meals that can be picked up and taken to a particular site.
The City Council will give the City Manager the responsibility of
going into contract with the institution(s) that meet the criteria
for providing the meals based on the AOA guidelines. Cost factor
and capability for delivery to various sites will also have to be
taken into consideration.
The role of the sponsoring agency will be that of monitoring the
meals at each site that the sponsoring agency will select. The
responsibility will also include the menu plane provided by the
contractor as well as the quality and quantity of meals at the
sites. Constant monitoring and evaluation will have to be main-
tained with the meal contractors to insure the guidelines are being
adhered to. The supportive services portion of the nutrition pro-
gram will be administered and operated by the sponsoring agency
(City). These functions presently are or will be carried out by
the Senior Community Services Program.
At this time, it is not anticipated to subcontract with any min-
ority groups for meals. This, however, will not prevent the staff
of the Senior Community Service Program from providing direct tech-
nical assistance to elderly groups, in order to assist them with
an eventual contract. This will be a direct function of the pro-
gram director. There are elderly groups who could contract for
various services. However, assistance is needed to enable them
to do so.
It is forecasted that by the end of the first year of operation one
contract will be let with a private non - profit corporation. At this
time there exists a private non - profit corporation of elderly that
represent 987 of elderly poor and is proportionate of the ethnic
composition. It is called Nueces County Senior Citizens, Inc. This
group, however, lacks the sophistication necessary to go into any
contract of any kind. With the proper technical assistance, train-
ing and direction they could conceivably be ready for a contract
during yaar II of the nutrition program.
2. Protect Area
a. The geographic area proposed by the project includes the entire
City of Corpus Christi as well as other areas of Nueces County
such as Robe town, indicating Driscoll and other
es of communities,
Included is a map g
cities and
g the
county.
.. -g-
b. Corpus Christi is the SMSA area for the Coastal Bend Council of
Governments which involves a thirteen - county area. The City has
such diversified industry as oil and gas production, chemicals,
shipping, steel, and tourism. Due to its climate, it is fast be-
coming a major attraction of retirees from the east and midwest
part of the country. The county, on the other hand, has some oil
and gas but is primarily rural in nature. Its major trope are
grain and cotton. Another agricultural product is livestock.
The breakdown of population is as follows: Blacks, 5.2 %; Mexican-
American, 40.6 %; Anglo, 54.2 %. The total population numbers ap-
proximately 237,500 people.
c. In the proposed project area (Nueces County) there are approxi-
mately 22,968 persons 60 years of age or older. of this number,
1,194 or 5.2% are elderly Black; 50420 or 23.6% are elderly Mexican -
American; and 16,353 or 71.2% are elderly Anglo. Of the elderly,
7,396 or 32.2% fall below the poverty guidelines as determined by
the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, poverty thresh -
hold. By ethnic groups, 4,170 or 25.5% of the Anglo elderly are
poor; 2,520 or 46.5% of the Mexican - American elderly are poor;
and 733 or 61.4% of the elderly Blacks are poor.
d. In the planning stages, before the Senior Community Services Pro-
gram was developed, several meetings were held that involved the
elderly themselves. At these various meetings, input was provided
by the elderly. This input was based on what they considered to be
the priorities locally that the Senior Community Services would
address itself to. One such priority was nutrition. This county,
too, was one of the very first to inititate the food stamp program
some months ago. The Community Action Agency received funding for
a nutrition program for the elderly last year based on data and
need that existed. The need for a nutrition program still exists.
Meetings with community leaders, health department personnel, wel-
fare directors both from the state and local agencies, all indicate
that nutrition is a great need among the elderly. Inflation also
has contributed greatly to the need of such a program. In meetings
with the Extension Service staff, it has been mentioned time and
again that the expanded nutrition program is only meeting a small
number of individuals in the community. Present staffing are not
able to meet the entire need in the county.
Present nutrition program operated by the Community Action Agency
is operating on local generated revenues since their OEO funding
has expired. The program is primarily a home delivered program
and is operated out of five kitchens. It is anticipated that the
CAA will submit an application for funding for mealsNeiItis not
anticipated that duplication will result since many
Centers are being considered for congregate meal sites. Coordina-
tion is still being maintained so as to try to utilize the re-
sources (equipment) within the nutrition program.
-A -
As of the 1970 Census data, there are about 22,968 persona 60 years
of age or older in the project area. Of these, 7,419 of them, or
about 32.2 %, fall below the poverty level. Of the 7,419 persons
who fall below the poverty level, it is estimated that some 3,000
of these persons require daily meals as proposed by this program.
The estimated number of persons to be served by the project will
be 600 on a daily basis, five days a week, fifty -tyro weeks a year.
The figure includes only the meal portion of the program and does
not take into account any supportive services that will be provided. daily by

poverty guidelines since the greater portion of the congregate meal
sites will be established in predominately target areas of high
elderly concentrations.
3. Administration of the Project
a. Proposed Staff
1) Program Director -- The nutrition program will be placed under
the responsibility of the Senior Community Services Program of
the City of Corpus Christi. No additional funds from Title VII
will be used to supplement the salary of the director, (non -
paid by Title VII). The program director is Homer T. Martinez,
Sr.
2) Nutrition Program Coordinator (Grade 22) -- This person will be
responsible with coordinating with the meals contractors to
insure that coordination is maintained between the program
director, the meals contractors and the congregate meal sites.
This persons function will be to monitor on a continuous basis
all contractors to insure that menu plans which have been pre -
submitted and approved are being followed. The nutrition co-
ordinator will also work closely with the Senior Community Serv-
ices outreach supervisor and recreation coordinator to provide
volunteer assistance and supportive services at the various
sites.
3) Senior Clerk Stenographer (Grade 12) -- This person will be
responsible for the clerical responsibilities of the program
such as maintaining daily reports from each of the congregate
meal sites as well as the documenting of project income that is
provided. This person will keep all records, data and reports
necessary under Title VII which not only includes meal informa-
tion on participants but on supportive services as well.
4) Outreach Workers (Grade 14) -- The complement of outreach
workers for the program will be used for providing the necessary
outreach, referral and information services necessary under
Title VII. The optreach persons under this program will _erve
to augment the outreach workers under the Title III component.
Other responsibilities will include providing escort services,
recruiting volunteers, counseling, recreational activities,
and others.
-4-
5) Bus Operators (Grade 10) -- The function of these persona will
be to provide transportation services to and from the congre-
gate meal sites to the elderly who otherwise would not be able
to take advantage of the meal. Once at the meal site the opera-
tors could perform other functions at the congregate meal site
that would be needed. (Supplemental Staff Request)
SEE DIAGRAM OF TENTATIVE SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS.
In every instance where a position is made available under Title VII
funds, not only will staff be recruited which will reflect the ethnic
composition of the project area but consideration will also be given
on the hiring of persons 60 years of age or older.
Presently within the Senior Community Services Program, of the
eight persons so far employed, only three are employed who are 33
years of age or younger. The remainder are from 49 years of age
up to 67 years old.
b. Use of Volunteers
The use of volunteers will be important in the successful operation
of the nutrition program not only in providing meals but for suppor-
tive services as well. Because of limitations in funding resources
for staff, volunteers will be needed to fill gape in such areas
as within the meal sites both during and after the meals, and pro-
viding supportive services.
Volunteers will be recruited that can provide a useful function
in areas of recreation, group therapy, education, counseling, es-
cort services, home delivered meals, companionship and others. As,
the nutrition program is developed, the recruitment of volunteers
will have as high a priority as the selection of staff. Ongoing
training provided for the staff will also be made available to the
volunteers so as to have some degree of continuity. It is antici-
pated that the volunteers will be recruited among the ranks of the
elderly as well as younger individuals. it is felt that A multi -
generational approach should be made in the recruitment of volun-
teers.
c. Providing Training
Both the program director and the nutrition coordinator will be
available to attend a two -week training course sponsored by North
Texas State University during the month of December. As the staff
is employed, ongoing training will be provided to the outreach staff
on the objectives of the program, reporting forme, and other areas.
It is planned that this training is to be provided on a continuous
basis. This training ,is to be provided by the program director as
well as the outreach supervisor and nutrition coordinator.
-6-
• The training will be necessary in order that reporting data be
tained on each program (i.e., Title III and Title VII) separately.
It will also be necessary so that proper referral and information
can be provided by the outreach staff.
d. Project Council
As per Title VII guidelines, the project council must be made up
of at least 51% potential participants or participants of the
nutrition program. The plan is that ae.each site is selected and
as meals are being provided, that each site elect from among the
participants those individuals who are to serve on the Title VII
project council. This will insure an equitable representation of
the elderly within the project area. The project council can then
provide needed input and evaluation as to meals being served, menus,
contributions, and other suggestions related to the Title VII pro-
gram as per Section 21.5 of the Nutrition Manual.
e. Elderly Participation
Prior to the development of the Senior Community Services program
by the City, there was a time when City staff and officials met with
several elderly groups and individuals. These meetings were for the
purpose of identifying needs and priorities among the elderly.
Once these priorities and needs were identified, the Director of
Planning and Urban Development, along with the Planning staff, com-
piled the format which was later to be used in the development of
the present Senior Community Services and its objectives. The
priorities also outlined the need for nutrition. It is the indi-
cated need for nutrition that makes necessary this application and
the proposed manner of implementation.
Senior Community Services also has a 15- member advisory committee
of which over 507. of its members are elderly. This committee
serves in an advisory capacity to the staff.

Objective X - INFORMATION AND REFERRAL
The project will provide information and referral services Conan
estimated 2,000 participants monthly, 12 months per year, e
follow -up on each referral to determine whether or not services are
being provided in accordance with defined needs. Non -meal partici-
pants will also be able to take advantage of the supportive services
at the sites.
Objective XI - HEALTH AND WELFARE COUNSELING
The project will provide trained counseling services on a person -
to- person basis in a setting that insures privacy by conducting an
annual average of 20 individual counseling sessions per month with
project participants in need of assistance on social and health prob-
lems.
Objective XII - RECREATION ACTIVITY
The project will determine the preferences of the majority of
project participants and the availability of adequate supplies and pro-
vide suitable and feasible activities five days a week, ,four hours a day,
52 weeks a year at 16 congregate dining centers or other appropriate
facilities.
Objective XIII•- NUTRITION EDUCATION
The project will implement a program of regularly scheduled meetings
to disseminate facts about the kinds and amounts of foods that are re-
quired to meet daily nutritional needs and conduct such meetings three
times a week, 52 weeks a year, at each congregate site and other simpli-
fied appro-
priate facility. This will include grocery shopping tripe
meal preparations.
Objective XIV - SHOPPING ASSISTANCE (SUPPLEMENT)
The project will provide shopping assistance to an anima average of
10 persons per day, five days a week, 52 weeks per year, manner
designed to help project participants to and from food markets and to
assist them in the selection of proper food items which will improve
their nutritional intake.
b. Delivery of Meals Plan
The City of Corpus Christi, as the sponsor of the nutrition program,
concurs that to go into the food preparation and delivery service would
require much expenditure of resources and duplication. it concurs,
therefore, that the meals portion of the program be contracted to priv-
ate profit and private non - profit institutions within the city and county
which have that capability. So far, meetings have been held with potential
contractors that can prepare a well balanced meal and deliver it to a pre-
selected site. All of the contractors that have indicated an interest
-9-
•
are able to prepare and deliver these meals based on present re-
sources. In other words, no additional equipment and /or staff would
be necessary to prepare and deliver the meals. The contract(s),
therefore, would be for raw food purchases, meal preparation and
delivery. Home delivered meals, on the other hand, will have to be
delivered by volunteers and the staff of the program. It is antici-
pated that this part of the program can be delegated to a group or
organization within the project area on a volunteer basis.
(1) How target groups and individuals will be contacted and encour-
aged to participate -- Initially, before the nutrition program
is developed, the Outreach referral and information component
under Title III will be in operation. This service will be
contacting potential participants on a one -to -one and one -to-
group basis. So far the news media has.been very helpful_ in
reaching out to the community. This is anticipated to continue.
There is enough diversity in the news media (radio, television,
newspaper) to give a wide coverage. A bi- lingual newsletter
will be published next month and for every month then on that
will attempt to reach as many people in the city and county as
possible. Plane are being made to secure names and addressee
of persona from the tax.departments of both the city and the
county as well as.the utilities from the cities to give as wide
a coverage of the newsletter as possible. As the outreach,
referral and information component of Title VII is developed,
this will further add staff in the field which can seek out
and inform the elderly about the project.
(2) Who will plan menus -- Since the meals are going to be con-
tracted with well established and reputable concerns, it is
anticipated that the contractor(s) will be responsible for de-
veloping the menus based on the guidelinea, recommendations
and instructions developed by the staff. Input is, of course,
anticipated by the project council and individuals at each site
to insure that the menus reflect the ethnic, religious and cul-
tural background of the participants.
(3) Enclosed is a menu which has been developed for the first 25
days of project operations.

This is to be provided Monday through Friday, both on the congre-
gate and home delivered meals.
(6) The days on which the meals will be provided will be Monday
through Friday. Of course, this will subsequently be determined
by the project council.
(7) The meals to be served -- The project is being developed such
that a noon meal will be provided.
(8) Since the meals will be contracted, it will be the contractor(s)
who will be responsible for delivery of the meals to a pre-
selected site unless the contractor can provide a suitable
facility for providing the meal. The home delivered meals will
be the responsibility of volunteere and /or staff of the project.
c. Congregate Meal Sites Plans
Planning is presently underway so as to identify potential con-
gregate sites. So far some 40 potential sites have been sent
letters to determine the interest and availability of these sites
both as congregate sites and for supportive services. Once an iden-
tification is made, sites that are selected as congregate sites will
be based on their location to the target group, their accessibility
and their comfort. Other criteria used in the selection will be
.based on the use for other than meals and the cost factor involved
for their use as a site. So far, the sites selected have been
churches, schools and neighborhood centers throughout the community
and response so far has been encouraging.
So far, it is anticipated thatl6- 20stiategically located sites
will be used. This is in addition to the senior centers being
operated by the Senior Community Services of the City. This, then,
will allow a participation of about 45 to 50' participants per site
average on a daily basis. Total average daily meals provided will
be1100 meals within the project area.
d. For projects also planning home delivered meals -- The number of
meals to be delivered to the homes of the elderly on of meals basis
will not go beyond110 meals or 109 of the total
served. Priority will be given to individuals who live alone and
are physically or mentally unable to prepare their own and are not
able to come to a congregate meal site. These can be individuals
who are convalescing at home after an illness or are bedridden.
e. Contributions
the meals will be

and by the advisory
committee of the Senior Community Services program. It is antici-
pated that the staff will recommend that a sliding scale be estab-

tractor's cost. Collection of fees will be something that has to
be discussed and agreed upon by the project council as to the best
method of implementation. Thg contribution, however,

b. Outreach Activities
Realistically there will be two outreach activities in operation.
Outreach services will be in operation under Title III funding be-
fore the first meal is served. The staff (outreach) will vid-
ing this service until the Title VII outreach staff is employed.
Since each site selected will be situated in areas of high concen-
trations of elderly populations, outreach will then be provided
within the proximity of these sites. Present senior centers, which
will also be used as sites, are situated in areas of high concentra-
tion of elderly. These areas will also be systematically covered by
the outreach program.
A map is available which shows, with various overlays, the census
tracts that have the highest concentrations of elderly 60 years of
age or older. These areas will be covered first. This coverage
will begin by identifying the elderly by name and address, with a
personal contact and by mail. Referrals are anticipated by other
agencies as well as by other elderly persons who have been initially
contacted.

b. Relationship With Other Programs
Within the city and county, there is no other private or public agency
that addresses itself solely to the entire elderly population. Senior
Community Services is the only one. Coordination, however, has taken
place with such agencies as the Community Action Agency, City- County
Welfare, State Department of Public Welfare, Social Security Adminis-
tration, Agricultural Extension Service and others. Joint funding has
taken place locally between the City and the County for this program.
United Fund and Junior League paid staff are working under the auspices
of the Senior Community Services program. The interest has developed
within several civic organizations in providing actual cash resources
in the program. All this coordination and planning is presently taking
place not only to further develop Senior Community Services but in the
development of the Title VII program, as well as other programs it may
subsequently sponsor.
No social services or other elements of this project for which funds
are not requested are anticipated being developed with resources of
other agencies or programs.
7. Evaluation
There will be a evaluation
the in on Aging,
the input of the project council. Only by meeting the objectives can
there be any quantitative and qualitative measurement of the program.
This is why the maintenance of daily accurate records will be impor-
tant in terms of participation, costs and other factors.
B. Relationship with USDA Programs
a. Through outreach, referral and information, elderly persons not
on food stamps will be assisted in being certified for same.
Certifiers will be asked to visit the meal sites as wall as the
multi - purpose centers to try and assist the elderly. This is a
good reason why coordination must be maintained with this resource
agency.
b. The applicant agency has not been authorized to receive food
stamps for home delivered meals but plans are that such a move
will take place. The City may encourage a non - profit group, how-
ever, to take this responsibility.
c. Contractors have indicated no plans to use USDA donated foods in
their meal preparation.
d. Not applicable.
