The purpose of the Senior Community Service employment Program is to foster
individual economic self-sufficiency and promote useful opportunities in
the community for service activities (which shall include community service
employment). This program is for unemployed low-income persons who are age
55 or older, particularly those who have poor employment prospects. The
goal of this program is to increase the number of persons who will receive
the benefits of unsubsidized employment in both the private and public sectors.
The Office of Elderly Affairs administers this program in the southeastern
portion of Louisiana through three sub grantees, Catholic Community Services
in Baton Rouge, Jefferson Council on Aging in Metairie, and Lafourche Council
on Aging in Raceland. Five national contractors administer the rest of the
state: Experience Works (EW), National Council on Aging (NCOA), National
Association of Hispanic Elderly (ANNPM), American Association of Retired
Person (AARP), and Institute for Indian Development (IID)
Eligibility for the program includes:
1. unemployed low-income individuals age 55 & older
with priority for those 65 & older
2. has a disability, limited English proficiency, resides
in a rural area
3. veteran, has low employment prospects; failed to
