SECTION I - SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The City of Corpus Christi, in conjunction with Senior Community Services Program
and the Work Experience Program, intends to make a comprehensive thrust on the
problem of unemployment among the elderly of the twelve - county Coastal Bend area.
Senior Community Services, a division under the Department of Planning and Urban
Development, was created and charged with the responsibility for aging programming
in the City and County. The Work Experience Program provides the opportunity to
persons to gain meaningful work experience, thereby becoming self - supporting of
themselves and their families.
A. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The City of Corpus Christi, which was chartered in October of 1945, operates under
a Council- Manager form of government. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the
six - member Council, which in turn determines policy, and the City Manager adminis-
ters all affairs of the City.
The Work Experience Program was created as a division of the Department of Planning
and Urban Development. This department was created in 1970 to coordinate activities
related to the improvement of the urban environment as it affects human needs.
Other divisions under this department include:
I. Manpower Planning, charged with planning for and coordinating manpower
training programs in a thirteen- county area.
2. Neighborhood Improvement Program, charged with rehabilitation or demolition,
of substandard housing.
M
3. Community Renewal, 701 Planning and Management Program, responsible for
assisting City government in identifying and eliminating social, economic
and environmental problems.
4. Senior Community Services, which provides for aging programming within
the City and County.
5. Current Planning, which administers zoning and subdivision control.
SECTION I I - PROJECT AREA
The proposed employment program (SENIOR AIDES) is designed for persons 60 years
of age or older who reside in the twelve- county Coastal Bend area. Geographically
speaking, Corpus Christi is the largest urban area in the South Texas Gulf Coast
area. It has a wide variety of diversified industry such as oil, shipping, steel,
chemicals and tourism. The County's chief industry is agriculture.
Elderly Characteristics
See Attachments D -2 and D -3 for demographic characteristics of persons 60 years
of age and over in the planning and service area.
Employment Characteristics of the Elderly
According to the 1972 Community Information Survey, 15.6 percent of all persons
60 years of age and older in Corpus Christi were employed full -time, 5.5 per-
cent were employed part-time and 79.9 percent were not employed. The largest
percentage of senior citizens employed full -time occurred in the 60 to 64 age
group. The survey indicated that 34.1 percent in this age group were employed
full -time. As the age increased from 64 to 75 and over, the percentage of
full -time employment decreased to 3.4 percent and the percentage who were not
employed increased to 93.9 percent. Information of unemployment among elderly
groups within the other counties is unavailable at this time.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The opportunities for employment of the elderly are very limited in this
County and within the other eleven counties. The Retired Senior Volunteers
Program, though not an employment program, provides retirees an opportunity to
use their skills and their time in useful services throughout the City on a
volunteer basis.
The Work Experience Program does allow for placement of people 55 years of age
or older in their allowed slots; however, for many people in the 60 -year or
older category, six or more hours of employment is entirely too long. Place-
ment of the trainees in appropriate sites in this age group is a problem as
well.
Foster Grandparents - This program does provide meaningful part-time employ-
ment; however, with only a limited number of slots available, the waiting list
is quite full. This indicates a need for part-time employment.
Other sources of employment include Older American Act funded programs in
Nueces County, Kleberg County, Jim Wells County, San Patricia County and Bee
County. With the exception of Nueces County, these programs are funded on a
rather small scale and therefore employment opportunities for persons 60 years
of age or older are limited.
SECTION I I I - PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
The City, through its various resources such as planning, manpower and senior
citizen programming, can, therefore, adequately sponsor a SENIOR AIDES program.
Administration will be provided by the Work Experience Program of the City of
Corous Christi. Assistm ce in development of job sites and placement of senior
aides can be provided by the manpower planning division, Senior Community Services,
other CETA funded programs and the Texas Employment Commission.
SECTION IV - ADMINISTRATION
The City of Corpus Christi can indeed provide a good, sound, meaningful program
of employment for the elderly. It has the expertise both in planning and in
programming for the elderly and other federally funded social service programs
Including manpower programs. In view of the City's capability, consideration is
requested for funding through the Manpower Consortium for the SENIOR AIDES Pro-
gram.
Work Experience Program provides the following function:
I. Linkage with other agencies.
2. Job Placement - Providing job placement and experience to unemployed or
underemployed heads of households.
3. Counseling /Supportive Services - Assisting the trainee in becoming self-
supportive.

Corpus Christi, Texas .
Dear Ms. Whitmire:.
We are hereby, through this communique, respectfully submitting
our formal request for the allocation Of three (3) slots to be
assigned to the Governor's Office of Migrant Affairs as outreach
workers for the Coastal Bend area, at a salary of $8,832 plus 13%
fringe benefits ($9980). Justification for aforementioned request
is provided herein.
The Governor's Office of Migrant Affairs is seeking to implement
an outreach program whereby, the migrant and seasonal farmworker
communities would provide an equitable basis *for thorough formula-
tion of potential future funding levels for program operators.
Secondly, the problem of "gaps" in service to migrant and seasonal -
farmworkers can be addressed by out stationed outreach workers
providing direct linkages with the Governor's Office of Migrant
Affairs in identifying target population needs and the resources
available at State and Federal levels.
The establishment of this communication mechanism will facilitate'
maximum utilization of resources and set a precedent in statewide
linkages and coordination.
Your assistance and cooperative effort is greatly appreciated.
