Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The purpose of the award is to move SCSEP participants into unsubsidized employment in both the public and private sectors. It aims to promote part-time work experiences in community service assignments for unemployed low-income individuals who are 55 years of age or older, and foster self-sufficiency among such individuals. By statute, SCSEP state grants are awarded to governors (22% of total grant funding) and are determined by formula. National non-profits (national grantee) that operate in multi-state service areas (78% of total grant funding) are awarded grants through a competition every four years. Appropriation levels determine the number of total slots, and grantees serve all slots in their service area. Programs run on a program year from July 1 to June 30.
Activities Performed
The activities primarily involve community service employment, where participants work part-time at a community service location (not for profit) for minimum wage. This work experience prepares them for unsubsidized employment while receiving services in the program or after they have completed the program. Participants also receive support services, on-the-job training, individual employment plans, and can receive classroom and skills training.
Deliverables
SCSEP grant recipients must meet their core measures of performance, which refer to hours (in the aggregate) of community service employment, the percentage of project participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the project, the percentage of project participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the fourth quarter after exit from the project, the median earnings of project participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the project, indicators of effectiveness in serving employers, host agencies, and project participants, the number of eligible individuals served, and most-in-need.
Intended Beneficiary
The intended beneficiaries of the program are adults age 55 and over with income at or below 125% of the poverty level who are not job ready.
Subrecipient Activities
Yes, grant recipients can subcontract to other local agencies and non-profit organizations.
