Marvin Townsend for City of Corpus Christi APPROVED: ssistant City Attorney PART II PLAN FOR THE PROJECT 1. Applicant Agency a. A chart is attached which describes the organizational structure of the applicant agency, The City of Corpus Christi, Senior Community Ser- vices. Identified within this structure is the placement of responsi- bility for the conduct of the proposed project. b. Senior Community Services, a division within the Department of Planning and Urban Development of the City of Corpus Christi, has for the past four years been responsible for a substantial amount of funds used for programs for the elderly. The program is operated entirely by Senior Community Services staff with the exception of a subcontract with the City of Kingsville for the Kleberg County nutrition project. c. In February, 1977, the City of Corpus Christi was asked to submit a supplemental application on behalf of the City of Kingsville to the Governor's Committee on Aging (GCOA). The application would provide 53 meals to the elderly residents of Kingsville, Texas. Tho application was approved by the Kingsville City Council and the Corpus Christi City Council and was funded in June, 1977. The City of Kingsville subcontracted with the Community Action Corporation of South Texas ( CACOST). The Alianza De Oro center is the meal site in Kingsville. The project will terminate November 30, 1977, unless refunded. CACOST is a minority agency. The following describes past achievements: d. Financial Commitments (1) $640,000 from Revenue Sharing for the construction of two multi- purpose senior centers located in,areas of high concentrations of the elderly. 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 facilities. (3) $48,000 from'the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for the acquisition of six vehicles used for transportation. Two vans for use by the elderly and handicapped have recently been pur- chased for $13,500. These vans will go into service during the 1977 -1978 grant year. (4) $78,031 for providing transportation services to the elderly. An additional $40,085 is provided by the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) augmenting the local contribution. (5) $8,461 for local match to the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. (6) The City and County contribute a total of $160,678 match for Title VII, RSVP, Title VII supplemental and transportation grants. (7) For the past four years Senior Community Services has operated a Nutrition Program for the elderly utilizing public and private facili- ties as congregate meal sites. The program operates one central and one auxiliary kitchen for preparing meals. (8) The program's current Title VII nutrition budget is $353,779 of which $304,188 is federal and $49,591 is non - federal local contribution. A supplemental grant was received for service to Kingsville, Texas, in the amount of $26,320. (9) An additional $20,000 was awarded to the project during the 1976- 1977 grant year. (10) The program continutes to maintain its financial self- sufficiency. e. Major Goals Achieved (1) Senior Community Services has been successful in integrating several services to the elderly in such a way that they complement and are supportive to one another. The major program components are trans- -2- portation, centers and nutrition, recreation, and volunteer ser- vices. These programs work together harmoniously although funding is received from several sources. (2) During the past year program procedures were firmly established, bulk serving was extended to smaller centers, personnel received additional'training, and elderly volunteers and participants have assumed a greater role in center operations. (3) A recent survey in all centers indicates that the majority of all the participants live in single family dwellings and receive an annual income below $2,000. The ethnic breakdown of the participant population is approximately the same as the ethnic breakdown of the elderly population residing in Nueces County. (4) The total population of Nueces County is 235,000, the elderly are estimated to number 23,000 or ten percent (10 %) of the total popula- tion. The ethnic breakdown of the elderly population is: 5 %, Black; 24 %, Mexican - American; and 71 %, Anglo.. The percent of elderly popu- lation with incomes below the poverty level broken down according to ethnic characteristics are: 61 %, Black; 47 %, Mexican- American; and 26 %, Anglo. 2. Project Area a.

Approxi- mately 55 volunteers are contributing their time to Senior Community Services. -4- b.

(9) Lunch is the meal to be served on a daily basis. (10) Preparation of the meals is the responsibility of the kitchen staff. Both congregate and home delivered meals will be transported via mini -vans. c. Site changes since first year There have been minor site changes since the first year. (1) Wayside, Zavala, Woodlawn and Bishop have been reduced from 8 to 6 hours. Reduction in hours is justified as an economy measure. (2) Not applicable. -8- (3) Attached please find list of all meal sites. d. Total number of meals planned to be delivered to the homebound on a daily basis is maintained at 60 meals. e. The project council has suggested a contribution scale. The project council has requested that a contribution schedule be posted at each meal site.- Contributions are individually received in small envelopes. The envelope containing the contribution is placed inside locked money boxes. Each box is gathered from the different sites, taken to a central point where the money is counted. The money is then deposited in the bank on a daily basis. 5. Plan for Social Service Delivery a. Transportation service has been a vital supportive service to the nutri- tion program. Transportation is provided to older persons by mini -vans. The following are transportation priorities: (1) To centers for meals; (2) To doctors; (3) To resource agencies; and (4) To shopping assistance. A fleet of eleven mini -vans serve more than 10,000 persons each month at a cost of $1.57 per unit cost. Other sources of funding for this service include Title III, CETA, UMTA, City and County, and Department of Public Welfare. b. All other services such as recreation, counseling, nutrition education, information and referral, and other services are to be maintained and improved during the coming year. These services also are being supple- mented by Title III, City General Revenues, and County Revenue Sharing funds. -9- 6. Relationship of the Project to Other Programs a. Senior Community Services was created for the purpose of bringing all aging programming under one department 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 many resources. Other resources have enabled the continued expansion and improvement of the project. 7. Evaluation There are several areas in which a constant evaluation process is maintained: a. Supervisory personnel, particularly the Kitchen Supervisor and the Nutri- tion Coordinator, have the responsibility of monitoring and evaluating the quality and quantity of the meals. b. Internal evaluation is conducted on a continual basis. Monthly participa- tion 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 GCOA staff. 8. Relationships with USDA Program a. Older persons are assisted in certifying them to receive food stamps. Assistance is provided through outreach, information and referral, escort and transportation services. b. The City receives donated commodities for meal preparation in the amount of $43,000 per year. 9. Relationship with Area Agency on Aging a.
