As you know the Atlanta Concentrated Employment Program (ACEP) has a contract with the City of Atlanta for a component known as the Atlanta Beautification Corps (ABC) Program. We currently have about 58 low income residents of the center city employed under this contract. Their salaries are paid by stipends received from U.S. Department of Labor. The ABC enrollees have made a valuable contribution to the City of Atlanta through their work which involves cleaning up streets and public facilities in the low income areas of the city. The original intent of this program was that the residents could gain work experience and improve their work habits through this program in the hope that they could be eventually hired in city or other jobs requiring minimum e ducationa l cre dentials. We have just b een advised by the De partme nt of Labor that we will have to phas e out the ABC Program by August 31, 1969, and budgetary limitation will force us to cut the number of available slots from 60 to 20 by May 4th of this year.

I would appreciate your assistance in helping to work out a plan which would allow the city to absorb into its permanent work force approximately 25 of the ABC enrollees by the end of April. I believe you will find that Mr. Hulsey and Mr. Delius and others have been impressed with the overall performance of these enrollees who represent some of the most disadvantaged citizens in the city. I believe that they will agre e that it would be beneficial both to the enrollees and to the city to make every effort to provide these people with meaningful employment.

This reduction was caused by a reevaluation of the ABC component being funded from this program source and a cutback in funding of the Atlanta Concentrated Employment Program (ACEP) ~which operates the ABC Program as a component under contract with the City of Atlanta. The ABC Program was orginally designed to provide low income residents with work experience while providing needed cleanup of inner city areas. Although the contract does not specifically provide for hiring of the ABC enrollees by the City, their past performance does suggest that they merit every consideration in this regard. The EOA Board heard an appeal from Mrs. Rosa Marshall, Supervisor of ABC workers, for assistance in finding meaningful employment for the ABC workers being phased out of the program. Although her long range concern was for all of the workers, she was especially concerned about the imminent cutback on May 5 of approximately 40% of the total 60 slots. Mrs. Marshall requested that the Board consider authorizing a letter to the City of Atlanta on beha lf of the ABC workers. Such action was duly passed by the Board requesting that I communicate with you on this problem.

In this project, so ... called hardcore, unemployed individuals have been utilized in special crews designed to collect trash and debris from sidewalks , vacant lots , pl ygrounde , parks, etc . in an a ttempt to keep these are s beautiful. The concept of the program was for the City to attempt to nlentify those members of the ABC Corps who could perform in regular City functions and to assist them in finding fulltime mployment. Our success has not been too great. To date,, we have pl aced three of th former ABC workers in regular City positions at the City Garage.

At the same time , during the crucial summer period we would have the advantage of the experience of these people in helping in special neighborhood clean.up projects and other special requirements which the summer period brings. It is my understanding that Mr .

It seems to me that since they have performed admirably in areas where they were badly needed by the City that we should attempt to maintain the services of these 25 people in the Sanitary Division until at least the end of our summer Mr. Davis Page Two ey program period. This would give us an opportunity to make a further effort to place those who can meet qualifications in regular job slots. At the same time, during the crucial summer period we would have the advantage of the experience of these people in helping in special neighborhood clean-up projects and other special requirements which the summer period brings. It is my understanding that Mr. Hulsey has requested that these 25 individuals be placed on a casual employee status with the Sanitary Division until August 31. I hope that you will support this recommendation and give us your help in having this done.

Parham : Executive Administrator Contact: Mrs. Mitchell For immediate release April 9, 1969 Cities across the wacuntey are planning programs similar to the START NOW ATLANTA campaign launched January 10 by Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. to involve more citizens in the war against poverty. One city official wrote, "In Phoenix (Arizona) we are very enthusiastic about this program and hope that we will be ab!e2 to follow in your footsteps to work out a similax program for our city." Miami, Florida already has initiated a similar program and other cities have requested information. Since START NOW ATLANTA was launched three months ago, 2,277 peoole have taken poverty area tours led by the poor and EOA has aseminad the services of 374 volunteers. The 2,000th person to take the tours led by the poor was Mrs. Bill Curry, wife of the Baltimore Colts football star, who was presented with a certificate by Vice Mayor Sam Massell in Wine City on March 29. EOA continues to receive daily requests from people who wish to take the tours or volunteer their time. The START NOW ATLANTA program was initiated for the hundreds of Atlantans who have asked "How can I find out what needs to be done and what can I do?" The program offers two phases, one, the tours led by 23 poverty ,area residents called Volunteer Information Beopitie: Or Vik Pts and the other a volunteer program. The poor wanted to lead the tours because, as one said, "We're tired of people coming through here shaking their head: ~about i.e rats and garbage and nasty shacks and not seeing us. We'::e people too and we've done a lot to heip curselves." Indications are that the tours are really “=wo-way streets; as one V.I.P. put it, "They learn from us and we learn from *:7m." Those tu-inge the cours are young, middle aged, old. They cour by foot, by car, br ius. They are lawyers, businessmen, doctors, social workers, club women, church members, journalists, visitors to Atlanta, the already concerned, and those Jeutecionst about-it-all. They come in greatest number from Metropolitan | Atlanta, but also from various parts of the United States and} from countries over the world. | The 374 volunteers are working in a variety of projects, in- cluding story hours, adult literacy classes, tutorial programs, . marionette shows, horticulture classes and legislative action. In addition,. four white churches have formed partnerships with black churches, 20 college fraternities are working in volunteer projects and some 200 college students are conducting a comprehensive consumer survey in one low-income area.

Text Any textual data included in the document April 14, 1969 Mr. William Norwood Regional Manpower Administrator U. S. Department of Labor Room 700 1371 Peachtree Street, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr, Norwood: Dan Sweat of my staff has discussed with me his conference with Mr. Henry L. Childs of your office regarding the implementation of Title I-B of the 1969 EOA Amendments, Since the Federal law requires that all work and training components under the comprehensive work and training program be provided through a prime sponsor in a community program area, it is important that the most effective prime sponsor be designated for the Atlanta area. It is my understanding that the Atlanta community program area consists of Fulton, DeKalb, Rockdale, Gwinnett, Clayton and Cobb Counties.

(1) The CAA in a community is the PS of a CWTP and shall be chosen unless it is jointly deterinined by OEO and DOL to be incapable of perfonning the functions of a PS and cannot be ·feasibly provided with that capacity. Within 30 days after .designation of a CPA, the RMA will solicit in '.lTiting, and accept an application for recognition as PS from the local ·CM. Once the RMA has tentatively selected a PS, he will irra:n~diately notify in writing, the OEO Regional Office and the appropriate CAMPS committee. When exception is taken by OEO to the nonselection of an existing CAA, the checkpoint procedure jointly developed by OEO end DOL will be followed (see pa:ragraph 4H below). 1-'· . ...... \ ..__. •l -f,. \ when an application for sponsorship has been submitted to the RMA by an agency other than a CM, t he RMA will furnish · two copies thereof to the ~ppropriate CAMPS corrm:lttee. Within 10 days of receipt of all non-CAA applications for sponsorship, the CA,.'v[PS cowmittee will schedule interviews with each applicant and forward its recommendations on the merits of each claim for sponsorship to the RMA for his final . decision. The relevant CAMPS committees will be notified of all selections· 9f PS's by the RMA. - . I i . (2) Where OEO and DOL agree that .an e~isting local CM will not be the PS, or where there is no CM in existence,the RMA will promptly solicit and accept applications for sponsorship from non-~AA agencies. In such situations, the State employment service or other agencies bf state government, local governmental jurisdictions, or private non-profit agencies may be designated as Prime Sponsors wherever they qualify. (3) The PS is responsible for a s suring that delegate ngencies sa~_isfactor ily ·perform their re sponsibilities, including providing for part icipation and employment of members of groups served. When ~ in the cour se of monitor ing the performance of del egat e age nd.cs , the PS fi nds unsat i sfactory perf ormance , he shall seek iremediat e corrective act ion by t he dele gate agency, appealing to higher organizational level s of t he , agency, aa neceosary.

Where feasible, a .CPA should be at least city-wide in dimension. HOi:leve:r, an area in whi ch a ·CEP is already located will be pa.rt of a CPA or if no broad er area possesses the above prerequisites, the CEP area itself shall be a CPA. - (1) Designation or recognitjon of a CPA is to facilitate the planning and administration of a CWTP for that community . Areas should be selected upon the basis of such criteria as · the extent to ~hich : .... .I • ___ ., �- 5 ~ ( ' .

(2) To help him in selecting areas meeting the above criteria, the RMA, a s chairman of the Regional CAMPS committee, will solicit the recommendation of the State CAMPS c m.r.mittee or when appropriate , the areas CAMPS committee . The CAMPS r ecommendation shou.ld be solicited in time to aid the RMA in designating CPAs prior to the date established for the ii;µt iation of the annual CAMPS planning cycle . ,,,,.--.. . . ~ ._ ... . Befoi-e making -a final designation of a CPA,' the RMA vill info~ the OEO Regional Offi ce· in 1-rrlting of his 1.n-oposed designation.

Regular participants in the CAMPS planning process will now include the PS who is responsible for planning and administering a CWTP for the CPA. ' The PS will provide the appropri ate CAMPS committee with a plan I • ,I of action describing how the various Title I-B program element s for which he has contractual responsibility are to be linked with other manpower progr ams available in the CPA, indicate the role to be .played by delegate agencies, and specify, to the extent feasible, the number of persons involved in each program, both as staff and enrollees, tne amount of funds to be obligated, nnd the time schedule for implementation of each project. I 'I'he analysis and proposed plan of action for FY 1969 will be · developed and submitted as an amendme nt to the CAMPS plan and shall be in the form prescribed in ICI 68-4. Tne analys is and- plan of action for a CWTP will be reviewed by the appropriate CAMPS ccmmittee to deter.nine ,rhether it is consistent with the CAMPS Comprehensive ?--!a.npm,;er Plan. No alte rution may be made in the analysis and plan of action for a CWTP without the PS's approval. Th; area c~mrnittee sha ll then forward the analysis and plan of action for a CWTP :( togethe_r with its reccinnne ndation) through the State CAMPS cornmittee 1 to the regional committee, as a separate , identifiable part of the area CAMPS plan. Tne Regional CAMPS committee will, as part of the pr ocess of reviewing and approving a CAMPS Comprehensive.Manpower Plan,'make a recomme nda~ tion to the RMA concerning the extent to which the analysis and plan of action for a CWTP is conqistent with the Compreh ens ive Manpower Plan. After considering this re~om:nendation, the RV.A will accept, reject, or modify the CWTP anj i mmediate ly f'urnish copies of whatever plan has been approved t o both the PS and the appropriate CAMPS colJlrll.it tee~· .... \ . _) The PS will then prepare the interre l ated set of specific project proposals which, when executed, will co~pl ete the CWTP. Tnese proposa l s will be forwarded to the RMA f or approval and execution of the necessary documents. Prior · to acting on the proposed agreeme~t (s)-the RHA shall dete rmine whether the proposed pr ojects are essential to the implementation of a CWTP which is consistent with the CAMPS area plan • ._ ...:--- . __ . . / .. -~-- . -· .. �- 7 \ - (2) Contractin3 The overall objective is to have all components of a. CWTP planned, administered, coordinated, ·and evalunted by a single· PS who will serve as the sole source of funds for the operation of those Title I-B projects for which he ·is contractually responsible. Projects will be operated through delegate agencies wherever feasible. While all elements of a CWTP are ultimately expected to be consolidated into a single · contract, initially these elements need not be expressed in one c_~:mtract. Rather a CWTP plan is. in effect when both the analysis, plan and interrelated· set of project proposals (action) have been co6rdinated and approved by the RMA. Specific project proposals· shall take whatever form· is required to imp+ement the j .I -CWTP. / \ . . (a)- Implementation of a CWTP wili not require termination of on-going contracts. For example, ongoing contracts antedating developmen.t of an approved CWTP shall, wherever possible, be incorporated in the proposed plan for th~t CWTP. If the CWTP is approved as part of the overall CAJ.'LPS plan then all such contracts may proceed to completion ·without moc1ification. Additional funds should not be obligated under existing contracts· where the PS is not the contractor. --- >-- Where modifications are necessary they shall be made, wherever possible, upon the recommendation of the PS, .to avoid .termination and .to bring the contracts into line with the CWTP. This co.n be done over a period of time, with minimum disruption to the action portion of the CWTP. . (b) Where a required modification is substantial or where a.n entirely new component is initiated that i _s not reflected in an approved CWTP, it will be necessary to amend the CAMPS -plan in accordance with CAMPS instructions. Such amendment shall be made before the modified agreement is forwarded to.the R11A for approval. (3) Relationship of CEP to CWTP All CEPs (including existing CEPs ) shall be located within a designat ed ·cPA and shall be operated by a PS or a del egat e agency and planned and administered as a part of a CWTP. In ' other words, an area in which a concentration of manpower pr ograms is pr ovided (CF.P area ), sha ll be an i nt egral part of the CWTP' s total r esponse to the pr oblems of _the CPA . • I • I • '· �.... ··- - .. ---- ·-- .. ~·-·-·- - - 8 E. ~uviSion of ?43.npm-, er Services I , Toe St:2.te Err.'."t,loyment Service (SES) is the supplier of a:11 ma.npo;rer services fo:r the CWTP pursuant to Section 637 of the EQt\. , a:s a.mended. · Manpower service3 provided to o.·Ci-TTP · by a .·.

To delegate authority and assign responsibility for the aduinistration of work and training programs under Section 123 of Title I-B of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1963, as amended (EOA). Excluded from consideration herein is that part of EOA Title I-B programs and resources devoted to the Job Opportunities in the Business Sector (JOBS) progran. ' 2. Background. The Economic dpportuahey Act Amendments of 1967 i consolidate authority for all the delegated work and training programs ° now administered by the Manpower Administration under Section 123 of the EOA. The law now requires that: | (a) a community program area (CPA) be designated for the purpose fc ae and conducting comprehensive work and training programs CWTP), (b) all work and training components be consolidated into a CWIP and financial assistance for such programs provided through a prine sponsor (PS) after July 1, 1968, and : % (c) the Federal-Staté employment service provide and develop further its capacity for providing maximum support for manpower training programs. The implementing instructions set forth herein are provided to insure that each comprehensive work and training program (CWIP) will provide an unbroken sequence of useful training and work opportunities together with appropriate remedial and supportive services to target groups of unemployed and low income persons so that they can obtain and hold regular competitive jobs. The goal is a comprehensive delivery system ‘ : which marshalls the total manpower resources available to overcome the complex employment problems of the most severely disadvantaged in the rural and urban areas in which they are concentrated. The = instructions outline a systematic approach to planning and implement-~ ing the CWTP which takes into consideration the need to provide local leaders and mambers of the groups to be served, with the opportunity tovparticipate in the decisions which aetermine how manpower resources “are to be allocated and utilized.: 1 \ | * OCT 25 808  3. Delegation of Authority and Assignment of Responsibility. A. The Regional Manpower Administrators (RMAs) and the Manpower Admini- strator for the District of Columbia are hereby delegated authority and assigned responsibility in respect to those functions and programs authorized by Sections 121, 122, and 123 of the EOA, as.amended, for: (1) designating commnity program areas (CPA), for the purpose of planning and conducting comprehensive work and training , programs (CTP), (2) recognizing a prime sponsor (PS) to receive all financial assistance for prograus under section 123 and to plan and conduct comprehensive work and training programs (CWTP), 1S (3) approving a comprehensive work and training proprem (cwrP) for each community program erea (CPA), which shall cousolidate all work and training components commencing July i, 1968, .

In accordance with the terms of the agree- - ment reached between the Office of Economic Opportunity (OE0) and the Department of Labor (DOL) embodied in the Memorandum of Agreement dated April 12, 1968, the policies set forth below have been jointly developed and approved by CEO and DOL, A. Consultation with Local Government Officials , 1 The ‘an tit, in the course of his initial planning for the establishment of a comprehensive work and training program in & comunity, consult with the head(s) of local govermaent(s). Consultation is also required prior to his making major progran determinations affecting an ongoing CWIP. ‘1/References throughout this Order to RMA include the Manpower Admini= strator for the District of Columbia. ’ ‘ ar. B. Designation of a Prime Sponsor (PS) APS isa public or private nonprofit a eney which is capable of (1) receiving and disbursing funds and (2) planning, develomlag, administering, coordinating and evaluating a CWTP. (1) The CAA in a community is the PS of a CWIP and shall be _ chosen unless it is jointly determined by OEO and DOL to be incapable of performing the functions of a PS and cannot be ‘feasibly provided with that capacity. Within 30 days after ..designation of a CPA, the RMA will solicit in writing, and accept an application for REEOEOA SLC: as PS from the local ‘CAA, Once the RMA has tentatively selected a PS, he will immediately notify in writing, the OEO Regional Office and the appropriate CAMPS committee. When exception is taken by OEO to the non-~ selection of an existing CAA, the checkpoint procedure jointly developed by OEO and DOL will be followed (see paragraph 4H below). at (2) Where OEO and DOL agree that an existing local CAA will not be the PS, or where there is no CAA in existence, the RMA will promptly solicit and accept applications for sponsorship from non=-CAA agencies. In such situations, the State employment service or other agencies of State goverment, local governmental jurisdictions, or private non-profit agencies may be designated as Prime Sponsors wherever they qualify. \When an application for sponsorship has been submitted to the RMA by an agency other than a CAA, the RMA will furnish two copies thereof to the appropriate CAMPS committee. Within 10 days of receipt of all non-CAA applications for sponsorship, the CAMPS coumittee will schedule interviews with each applicant and forward its recommendations on the merits of each claim for sponsorship to the RMA for his final .decision, The relevant CAMPS committees will be notified of all selections: of PS's by the RMA. wy (3) The PS is responsible for assuring that delegate agencies satisfactorily perform their responsibilities, including providing for participation and employment of members of . groups served. When, in the course of monitoring the performance of delegate agencies, the PS finds unsatisfactory performance, — he shall seek immediate corrective action by the delegate agency, appealing to higher organizational levels of the agency, aa necessary. If the delegate agency remains un- responsive, the PS shall seek corrective action through the .RMA, and ultimately, through appeal to the Manpower Administrator. ' | e of 4 aa = pcan nee Ee a ee ee en (4) The RMA shall review annually the performance of each PS, applying the standards of project effectiveness developed end published as described in Section .132(c) of ‘the EQA, (5) All financial assistance for a CYTP in a CPA must be °-. . | provided through a PS, unless a determination has been made . by the RMA that: ta = (a) there is a-good cause for an extension of time Or, : ; \ (b) after soliciting and considering the ccxzments of the PS, if any, it is determined that the provision of financial assistance to a pudlic agency or private organization other then the PS, for one or more component programs, would : enhance program effectiveness or acceptance on the part of the persons served and that such action would serve the purposes of Title I-B; » (c) .the project is an in-school Neighborhood Youth Corps ’ (wc) project in which case financial assistance may be provided directly to local or State education agencies. ; $ When the RMA decides under 5a or b above, to provide financial ~ oo assistance directly to a public or private non-profit agency Ase in any community where the CAA is designated as the PS, he will cua” inmediately notify the O50 Region Office in writing. Where exception is taken by O£0 to the proposed direct funding by the RMA under 5a or b above, steps two and three of the OEO=DOL - checkpoint procedure will be follcwed, C. Designation of a Community Program Area (CPA) o A community program area (CPA) is the area for which-a comprehensive work and training program (CVTP) is planned and within which it is administered by a prime sponsor (PS). -A neighborhood, city or multi-city unit, county or multi-county unit, Indian reservation or other area, may be designated as a CPA if it provides a suitable organizational base and possesses the Seeaou ety of interest -needed for the CWTP. Where feasible, a CPA should be at least city-wide in dimension. 3 However, an erea in which a CEP is already located will be part of ~ . a CPA or if no broader area possesses the above prerequisites, the . CEP area itself shall be a CPA. (1) Designation or recognition of a CPA is to facilitate the planning and administration of a CWIP for that community. Areas should be selected upon the basis of such criteria as the eerent to which: is = 5 = (a) A suitable organizational base exists in the area; i (b) a commonality of interest is found smong the various populations of the ‘Brees ; é (c) the seléction serves the interests of making broad comunitywide manpower planning more generally applicable and expedites the process of planning a CWwTP to meet the needs of the area; as : (ad) the pourdansee of the CPA will be consistent with boundaries of other areas used for the planning of manpower programs, such:!as Comunity Action Agency (CAA) boundaries, . local governmental jurisdictions, CEP areas, Model Cities areas, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) or CAMPS. areas; (e) the selection contributes to sound administration of a CWTP, (2) To help him in selecting areas meeting the above criteria, the RMA, as chairman of the Regional CAMPS committee, will - solicit the recommendation of the State CAMPS committee or when appropriate, the areas CAMPS committee. The CAMPS recommendation should be solicited in time to aid the RMA in designating CPAs prior to the date established for the initiation of the annual et planning cycle. Before making a final Jasipnatten of a CPA, the RMA will inform the O£O Regional Office in writing of his proposed designation. When exception is taken by OEO to the proposed designation of the CPA, thé checkpoint procedure Jointly developed by OEO and DOL will be followed. (See ‘ paragraph 4H below). 2 Once a CPA has been designated, the RMA will immediately notify the OEO Regional office, and the appropr date CAMPS committee, D. Comprehensive Work and Training Program (CTP) A CWIP plan, developed through a systematic approach to planning and implementation, will link all relevant ccmponent programs under Title I-B with other appropriate public and private manpover programs and activities so that disadvantaged residents (See Manpower Administration Order No, 2-68 for definition of the term "disadvanteged") of a CPA who are enrolled in a CiWTP are provided with an unbroken sequence of services which will enable them to obtain and hold employment. The CWIP will contain an analysis of the needs and priorities of the CPA, together with a complete @ statement describing how the Title I-B program eccaponents for which the’ PS has contractual responsibility are to be linked with . other related manpower programs available in the CPA. = -~6-. . .(1) Development of a Comprehensive Work and Training Program (CWTP) The appropriate CAMPS committee annually initiates the planning eycle for its Comprehensive Manpower Plan by relating the priorities established to each proposal for déploying program resources, Regular participants in the CAMPS planning process will now include the PS who is responsible for planning and administering a CWIP for the CPA, The PS will provide the appropriate CAMPS committee with a plan of action describing how the various Title I-B program elements for which he has contractual responsibility are to be linked with other manpower programs available in the CPA, indicate the role to be played by delegate agencies, and specify, to the extent feasible, the number of persons involved in each program, both as staff and enrollees, the amount of funds to be obligated, and the time schedule for implementation of each project. The analysis and proposed plan of action for FY 1969 will be developed and submitted as an amendment to the CAMPS plan and shall be in the form prescribed in ICI 68-4. ; The analysis and plan of action for a CWTP will be reviewed by the appropriate CAMPS ccmmittee to determine whether it is consistent with the CAMPS Comprehensive Manpower Plan. ‘ No alteration may be made in the analysis and plan of action for a CWIP without the PS's approval. The area committee shall then forward the analysis and plan of action for a CWIP (together with its recommendation) through the State CAMPS committee to the regional committee, as a separate, identifiable part of the area CAMPS plan. The Regional x CAMPS committee will, as part of the process of reviewing and approving a CAMPS Comprehensive Manpower Plan,’make a recommenda- tion to the RMA concerning the extent to which the analysis _ and plan of action for a CWIP is consistent with the Comprehensive Manpower Plan. After considering this recommendation, the RMA will accept, reject, or modify the CWIP and immediately furnish copies of whatever plan has been approved to both the PS and the appropriate CAMPS committee. The PS will then prepare the interrelated set of specific project proposals which, when executed, will complete the z CWIP, These proposals will be forwarded to the RMA for ; approval and execution of the necessary documents, Prior -to acting on the proposed agreement(s)-the RMA shall determine whether the proposed projects are essential to the implementa-~ tion of a CWIP which is consistent with the CAMPS area plan. \ 7 - (2) Contracting “The overell objective is to have all components of a. CWTP planned, administered, coordinated, and evaluated by a single: _ PS who will serve as the sole source of funds for the opera~ tion of those Title I-~B projects for which he is contractually . responsible, Projects will be operated through delegate agencies wherever feasible, While all elements of a CWTP are ultimately expected to be consolidated into a single “contract, initially these elements need not be expressed in one contract. Rather a CWTP plan is in effect when both the analysis, plan and interrelated set of project proposals (action) have been coordinated and approved by the RMA. Specific project proposals shall take whatever form is required to implement the CWTP. . (a) Implementation of a CWTP will not require termination of ' on-going contracts, For éxample, ongoing contracts antedating development of an approved CWTP shall, wherever possible, be incorporated in the proposed plan for that CWTP. If the . CWIP is approved as part of the overall CAMPS plan then all such contracts may proceed to completion without modification, Additional funds should not be obligated under existing contracts where the PS is not the contractor. Where modifications are necessary they shall be made, wherever possible, upon the recommendation of the PS, to avoid termination and.to bring the contracts into. line with the CWTP. This can be done over a pericd of time, with minimum disruption to the action portion of the CWTP. (>) Where a required modification is substantial or where an entirely new component is initiated that is not reflected ‘ in an approved CWTP, it will be necessary to amend the CAMPS “plan in accordance with CAMPS instructions. Such amendment shall be made before the modified agreement is forwarded to.the RMA for approval. (3) Relationship of CEP to CWIP All CEPs (including existing CEPs) shall be located within a _ designated CPA end shall be operated by a PS or a delegate agency and planned and administered as a part of a CWIP. In ‘other words, an area in which a concentration of manpower ‘ programs is provided (CFP area), shall be an integral part of the CWIP's total response to the problems of the CPA, toe E. Provision of Mannower Services ‘ { ‘ The State Exployment Service (SES) is the supplier of all manpower services for the CTP pursuant to Section 637 of the EQA, as amemded. ‘Manpower services provided to a CiTP-by a... SES will be made available to the extent possible from current SES resources, The provision of these services will be defined in a meroramdum of agreement (BYIP Form 32 rev.) between the SES end the Ps, Tt is the responsibility of the PS to insure that these manpower services are provided in accordance with terms of the contractual agreem2nt or the memorandum of agreement referred to above. If in the course of carrying out his monitoring and overseeing responsibilities, the PS determines that the SES is not supply= ng manpover services in a satisfactory manner, he should attenps to resolve the matter with, the appropriate representative of the SzS central office. If the problem cannot be resolved at the SES central office level, he ‘should present his findings to - the RE, When as a result of the above procedure the RMA determines that a SES is not in compliance with the Secretary's Regulations requiring the SES to be responsible for supplying the manpower services specified in the CWIP, the RMA will, in consultation with the PS, arrange for such services to be supplied by enother private or public agency. The requirements of Section G of this document are applicable to any Sern Breyeians such manpower serwicea. Whenever manpower services are required for a CWIP which are Over emi above those normally provided by the ES, -the PS through contractual arrangement, shall reimburse the ES State Agency for the provision of these additional services. Guidelines for reimbursement to the SES will be provided in ‘@ subsequent document, Although the SES is responsible for providing the full range of manpover services set forth in the CWIP, it is recognized that it may be necessary or desirable for the SES to make appropriate ' arrangements with other private or public agencies to preiyee a particular-manpower service, © F. Supportive Services - 1 In designing a CWIP, the prime sponso? or other sponsoring agency is responsible for making arrangements for the provision of other needed services, as appropriate, including: (1) aay cave : (2) medical services ane (3) transportation : ; . (4) family services es ay ag (5) Legal services : _* ‘ (6) basic or remedial education where not. provided as part of manpower services. Comunity Participation (1) Participation by Representatives of the Poor It is the basic, continuing and Tegally binding resvonsibility of ‘each PS to provide for an effective administrative structure ‘ which ensures that representative members of the groups being ‘served in a CPA have direct access to and participate in the decision-making process involving planaing, conduct and evaluation of a CWIP and its program ccaponents. - (a) Ageneles governed or administered by a board of ‘ which at least one third of the menbers are democratically selected from the groups to be served, shall meet this ' requirement. In all cases where a prime sponsor is not _ go structured, it should establish a special board which includes, as at least one third of the mexbership, democratically selected representatives of the areas to be served. Those special boards should be given responsibility for overseeing the plenning, conduct and evaluation of the CWTP and its components. _(b) The governing or special board referred to above should also serve as the policy level participatory body for delegate agencies required by Section 122 of the EOA, through one of the following optional arrange- ments: ‘ (4) The board should appoint a subcommittee composed of appropriate representatives of the governing or special board to serve each delegate agency in an advisory capacity or, (ii) the board should establish a "delegate agencies advisory board" ccnposed of zelected members of the governing or special board and a reprenentenive from each delegate agency. In either situation, members of PS boards who represent the groups being served will function also as monbers of component boards in order to provide overall cocrdinatica ” of ‘the component programs. = TO -, (2) Znrollee Participation _ It is the responsibility of the prime sponsor and each delegate _ agency to establish regular procedures for the meaningful parti- cipation of project enrollees in the -conduct ongoing evaluation of CirP programs . ; Each of the delegate agencies will meet with enrollees on a monthly basis to ensure continuous participation of the enrollees in the direction of the programs.» The governing board of the PS should regularly receive comments, criticisms and suggestions of the project enrollees. This can be accomplished by using existing representative groups, specially creating such groups, or by utilizing other equally acceptable channels of communication. - ‘(3) Labor and Management Participation The PS shall provide for participation of employers and of .- yabor organizations in the planning and conduct of the compre-= hensive work and training programs, in a manner comparable to that provided for members of the groups being served. (4) Training, Technical Assistance and Financial Assistance The PS and the delegate agencies should provide training and technical assistance to the resident poor board members and enrollees which is responsive to their needs. Where financial problems are a barrier to participation, reimbursement for transportation or babysitting expenses, etc., and compensation for services on boards or committees should be provided. (5) Employment of the Poor The PS and delegate agencies shall provide maxinua employ- ment opportunities for resident poor of the CPA, including elderly unemployed and underemployed, in the conduct of - component programs. This employment shall include opportunity for further occupational training and career development, and “upgrading, with funds made aveilable for this purpose. H. Of0-DOL Checkpoint Procedure The following checkpoint procedure will apply when exception is taken by O£O to the non-selection:of an existing CAA as PS, the situation where OEO objects to the proposed boundaries of the CPA or when the RMA proposes to provide financial assistance directly to an agency other than the PS under B 5a or b above. (1) When the RMA takes one of the above actions, he will notify the O£O Regional Director in writing, of his decision é . oe a Pas be and his reason(s) for taking such action. The OEO Regional Director will have 10 working days to investigate the situation and attempt to resolve any differences with the RMA. : : :* (2) Where these parties are able to reach agreement, the’ agreement will be reduced to writing and signed. If no agreement is reached, the OF0 Regional Director will have five additional days to compile and forward all written deliberations, to the Director of OE0.* (3) The Director of OEO yill immediately furnish to the Manpower Administrator a copy of the record and both parties will have three working deys to resolve the question, Once ‘resolved, the decision will be reduced to writing, signed, and transmitted to the appropriate RMA. ; * The RMA will, of course,’ keep the MA informed of this development through normal internal channels. 5.

Cowley, Director Human Relations Commission Ann Arbor, Michigan Dear Mr. Cowley: his is isn reply to your letter of February 24, for information roge.dince child care plans for low-income and working mothers. Yhe Community Action Agency, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. was faced with this dilemma at the very beginning of the pro- gram since Atlanta has a large number of po ewe working mothers who ave heads of households. We began by going to voluntary agencies, churches, civic organi-- zations, etc., which were based in low-income areas and asking. these organizations to consider organizing Cay care centers for low-income families. We are now contracting with ten (10) autonomous ageneies which are under contract to run eleven (11) centers caring for 715 children between the aces of six months zo nine years. Ninety percent ‘90%) of the ch:.ldren are be- tween the ages of 3-6 yours. ‘ Originally, we were running as straight day care agencies and charged a fee per family based on family income. About fifteen “percent (15%) of our income was derived from fees. ‘Twenty per- cent (20%) came from the community in the form of voluntary ser- vices or in-kind contributions. , The rest of our income came from Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) funds. It is to be noted that we may rent at only one facility, the rest of our housing is donated. We are using facilities in five churches, three housing projects, two remodeled houses and one warehouse. The cost per child is from $75 to $90 per month. Mr. David C. Cowley Page 2 March 7, 1969 ‘ About two and one-half or three years ago, we were incorporated into full-year, eleven hour, head start. The major changes were in the improved ratio of adult to child and extended medical services. As of April 1968, OEO had us discontinue charging fees. ; Our present structure consist of a coordinating headquarters staff including a director, assistant director, program coordi- nator, volunteer coordinator, and program evaluator. There is an overall Policy Advisory Committee consisting of parents, parent representatives, interested professionals and members of the local community. Each Child Development Center is sepa- rately incorporated as an autonomous agency with its own board and staff. Within the guidelines as set forth in the Head Start Manual, each board sets its own program of -instruction, personnel policies, parent organization, etc. Each must raise its twenty percent (20%) community contribution, We have had central recruitment and training of volunteers. We handle purchasing and finance centrally through the Community Action Agency. Also each program is reviewed centrally for quality contro? and improvement of operation. We have availed ourselves extensively of stafi’ training opportunities afforded us through OFO. We also have regular in-service training. We were faced with many serious problems from the outset, many of which are still not resolved. Because our local boards ‘were made up largely of the poor with little or no community experience, many errors in judgment were made in handling funds, staff selection, and social services. Time and experience has helped somewhat but we still have a long way to go. Another area of concern is the lack of qualified staff. Our state offers no certification for pre-school teachers and there is very little training through the local colleges, although the Atlanta Board of Education has inaugurated an extensive program of evening classes for people in day care on a non-credit, low fee basis. Perhaps our greatest handicap is insufficient funds Mr. David C. Cowley Pagé 3 March. 7, 1969 to attract top quality staff and to extend our services. The estimate is that 10,000 low-income children need day care and we are providing for only 715. I hope our experience has been useful to you. I wish you well in your enterprise.
