PART II PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
1. Applicant Agency
a. Attached are charts which describe the organizational structure
of the applicant agency. Identified within this structure is
the placement of responsibility for the conduct for the proposed
project.
b. Senior Community Services, a division of the City of Corpus Christi,
has for the last three years been responsible for a substantial
amount of funds used for aging programming. As a result, the
City of Corpus Christi has been looked upon as the leading city
in the state as far as emphasis in aging programming as a result
of local resources being utilized.
The following describes some of the accomplishments:
1. $640,000 from Revenue Sharing for the construction of two
multi - purpose Senior Centers located in areas of high elderly
population. These facilities serve all segments of the elderly
population.
2. $50,000 from Community Development funds for the alteration and
expansion of the program's central kitchen.
3. $48,000 from the Urban Mass Transportation for the acquisition
of six vehicles used for transportation. Two of these to be
specially equipped for the handicapped.
4. Appropriation $83,300 each fiscal year for providing direct
services to the elderly within the Centers.
5. For the past three years, has operated the Nutrition Program
for the Elderly utilizing other public facilities as Congregate
Meal Sites. The program has moved from one which contracted for
meals to a program that operates two kitchens preparing all meals.
c. Applicant Agency is not a minority agency, rather a municipal
operation.
d. See attached Statement of Financial Condition as of August
31, 1976. The program's current budget is for $338,988 of
which $304,188 is federal and $34,800 is non - federal.
e. The Applicant Agency does not plan to enter into any subcontracts
since all meals are prepared in the program's own kitchens and
services are provided by staff.
2. Project Area
a. The proposed area for the project includes all of Nueces County.
The cities included are Corpus Christi, Robstown, Clarkwood,
Bishop, Agua Dulce and Banquete. See attached map..
b. Of the total population in Nueces County of some 235,000, some
23,000 or about 10% are 60 years of age or older. The area is
largely rural and the main industries are oil, tourism, shipping
and farming. Of the elderly population some (5% are Black, 24%
are Mexican - American and 71% are Anglo).
c. Of the 23,000 persons 60 years of age or older, some 19,000
of these reside in the City of Corpus Christi. The major
concentrations of the City where elderly live include the
central residential area, the western part and the north part
of the city. Of the total elderly population 32% have incomes
i
-2-
below the poverty threshold. The % of elderly population
with incomes below poverty include-61% Elderly Blacks, 47 %'
Elderly Mexican Americans and 26% Anglo elderly.
d. Hearings which have been conducted by the Area Agency on
Aging, area plans developed by the Human Resources Committee
of the Council of Governments all indicate a high priority
for the nutrition program and the needs it serves. Data
compiled by the nutrition program, outreach which has been
performed and other information has shown that for many of
the elderly presently involved in the program, this program
is meeting a tremendous need. For many who participate, it
is the only proper meal they consume throughout the day; they
would not be able to take advantage of other services if it
were not for transportation; they would not be receiving other
benefits had it not been for outreach and referrals that are
performed.
The program has been able to serve some 8,000 (non - duplicative)
elderly each month. Of this number, approximately 85% are
considered to have incomes which fall below the poverty threshold.
This number includes 5% Black, 70% Mexican - American and 25% Anglo.
3. Administration of the Project
a. Proposed number and types of staff:
(1) Program Coordinator - This person is responsible for the
day -to -day operation of the program that includes preparation
of meals, distribution of meals to each site, ordering of
raw materials, collection and accounting of contributions
and inventory.
-3-
(2) Senior Clerk Typist -'Performs the needed clerical duties
such as daily, weekly and monthly reports, meal counts and
meal projections.
(3) Center /Site Managers (6) - These persons are responsible
for the operation of the Centers /Sites that include meal
counts, contributions,recreation and other supportive
services.
(4) Bus Operators (4) - These persons are responsible for

logistical support to the Centers /Sites in recreational
activities.
-4-
A Consulting Nutritionist will be employed under a separate
grant who together with the Program Coordinator will develop
the menus that will be used by the program.
In terms of employment, every effort is made to employ the
elderly. This is apparent in that over half of the staff are
currently 55 years of age or older.
b. The program has to date and will continue the use of volunteers
to do a variety of functions. To date this has involved mostly
older persons themselves although more interest has been shown
by younger individuals. College students are presently being
involved for counseling services on a volunteer basis.
c. Training thus far has been provided by the Area Agency on Aging
as well as the Contractors hired by the Governors Committee on
Aging. Further training is forecast by the Area Agency on Aging,
as well as the Consulting Nutritionist.
d. See attached list of members of the Project Council.

provide suitable and feasible activities five days a week,
Monday through Friday, 52 weeks a year, in at least four
congregate dining centers or other appropriate facilities.
b. Delivery of Meals Plan
The Corpus Christi kitchen will prepare all meals within
the city and the Robstown kitchen will serve all meals for
this area. The process has been that all meals are prepared,
plated and distributed from the central kitchen. Food will
be taken in bulk from the central kitchen to each of four
centers. From these centers meals will then be served
and prepared for other sites which are within the general
area of the new centers. This process should maintain
maximum heat of the meals.
(1) All menus developed by the project take into account
input by the participants. In addition, the menus take
into consideration health or religious requirements, ethnic,
cultural and regional preferences.
M:lp
(2) The cycle menus used by the program are approved and are
posted in each meal site.
(3) There will be over 570 meals served daily and 50 home
deliveries.
(4) This total number remains the same.
(5) Days to be served are Monday through. Friday.
(6) Lunch will be served at each site.
(7) How meals will be transported from kitchen to congregate
meal site.
Robstown -
Meals are prepared and consumed in the kitchen and at the
Recreation Center. They are also prepared and transported
to Bishop.
Corpus Christi -
Meals are prepared and consumed in the kitchen. Bulk
food will also be taken to Lindale, Greenwood, Zavala
and Austin Centers and consumed. Meals will also be
packaged and delivered by bus to the closest congregate
meal site. Home deliveries are made by the project's
mini - buses.
C. For congregate meal sites
(1) The number of congregate sites has remained at eleven.
It may be possible during this next program year to increase
the number by at least two more. See attached list of all
congregate meal sites. The reasons for selection of each
was location to high elderly pupulation accessibility,
comfort, proximity to other resources.
-9-
(2) Attached are a list of congregate mealsites, their
addresses and average number of meals.
d. The number of home delivered meals will be no more than 50
per day. Each is reevaluated at least once every other month.
e. The project council did establish a suggested contribution
scale. See attached memo. This is made available to every
new participant. Contributions are individually received
in small envelopes which are provided to the participant.
The envelope containing the contribution is placed inside
a steel box. Each box is gathered from the different sites,
taken to a central point where the money is counted. In this
manner, the confidentiality of the contribution is maintained.
The money is then deposited in the bank on a daily basis.
5. Plan for Social Services Delivery_
a. All supportive Social Services are operational and expanding
during May - July.
b. A 14 member outreach task force was hired for a six weeks period
to cover all areas within each of the centers /sites. As a
result of this extensive outreach effort, over 5000 new elderly
persons were contacted, many of which are now participating. Data
,gathered by this task force is used to follow -up by
telephone and in person to encourage persons to participate.
Continuous referrals are made by other agencies and which
program staff follow -up on.
c. Transportation and escort services has been the most vital service
yet provided. Transportation is provided by mini buses which serve
older persons on a priority basis. The following are those priorities:
-10-
(1) To Center.
(2) To Doctors /RSVP Volunteers.
(3) Resource Agencies.
(4) Other such as shopping.
A fleet of 11 mini vans serve more than 10,000 persons each
month at a cost of $1.47 per unit cost. .Other sources of
funding for this service include Title III, CETA, UMTA,
City and County.UMTA will allow the purchase of six more
vehicles, two of which will be for the handicapped.
d. All other services such as recreation, counseling, education,
information, referral and other services are to be maintained
and improved during the coming year. These services are also
being supplemented by Title III, City General Revenues, and
County Revenue Sharing funds.
6. Relationship of the Project to Other Programs
a. See attached agreement.
b. Senior Community Services was created for the purpose of bringing
all aging programming under one direction within the city. This
is apparent in that the only other programs for the elderly are
provided by the State School (Foster Grandparents) and CHORE
provided by the city- county welfare department. Due to the fact
that Senior Community Services is part of the city structure,
it has been possible to tap those resources already mentioned.
Other resources that are being utilized are those from CETA,
UMTA, Community Development Act funds and others. All these
resources have enabled the continued expansion and improvement
of the project.
-11-
c. Transportation services are being provided in more structured
manner due to the acquisition of a mobile communication system.
Support staff have been made available through CETA and other
employment programs. RSVP volunteers augment the staff at the
centers. Community Development funds provided renovation and
expansion of kitchen facilities. Revenue sharing funds from the
county provide support outside the city limits.
7. Evaluation
There are several areas in which a constant evaluation process is
maintained:
a. Key staff have the responsibility of monitoring and evaluating
the quality, quantity and texture of the meals.
b. Staff also monitors and evaluates each day the meals that the
project kitchens provide. This provides for quality control.
c. Outreach, transportation, referral /information and other
supportive services are evaluated by means of staff meetings,
and coordinative sessions that serve only to maximize staff
time involvement and output. Monthly participation records
serve as a visible means of determining the extent by which
participants use the various services available.
Periodic evaluation also is provided by members of the Governor's
Committee on Aging staff, in conjunction with Area Agency on
Aging Staff.
8. Relationships with USDA Program
a. Through Outreach, Referral and Information, older persons are
assisted in certifying them to receive food stamps. This is
done by helping older persons in whatever way necessary both
-12-
by escorting older persons to the office, acting as advocates
and providing transportation.
b. The city no longer is eligible to receive food stamps for
payment of meals. This is due largely to the fact that the
program receives commodity foods for the preparation of meals.
c. The city receives donated commodities in meal preparation.
d. Not applicable.

Subject Suggested Contributions for Meals
For almost three years, the City has been operating a nutrition program for
older citizens made possible by funds from Title VII of the Older Americans
Act.
A central kitchen in Corpus Christi and one in Robstown prepare more than
600 meals daily and are distributed to eleven different sites. The average
cost of preparing each meal has been computed at $1.10. Participants are
encouraged to voluntarily contribute all or part of the cost of the meal
and the amount is based on their ability to pay whatever each feels they
can contribute.
The chart below is a guide desi,gned to offer a suggested amount as part of your
voluntary contribution. Please understand that these amounts are only a guide
and not a requirement.
