This service is provided through the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), funded through the Older Americans Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Labor. The state service administered by the Division of Aging and Adult Services serves low-income adults, age 55 years and older at or below 125% of the federal poverty level who have poor employment prospects because of multiple factors such as lack of skills or transportation, low literacy or disabilities. The state program oversees six (6) sub-grantees who provide services in 24 counties. National programs also provide services in 98 counties throughout the state. Participants are placed in part-time assignments at locations such as social services agencies, health departments, councils on aging, nutrition sites and senior centers. Once they acquire new skills, they receive support transitioning into the regular work force.
