We are continuing to coordinate with Social Services, a service to young low income families re: parenting, money management and homemaking. Costs continue to escalate with high cost of living, increase of fuel costs, increased medical needs and transportation. However, Eagle County Government is willing to supplement the budget. In 1992, the supplement to the grant was approximately $5000. Coordination with other agencies, Council of Aging, Department of Social Services, Nursing Service and other community agencies, enhances services to the Homemaker Program and the recipients. -DATA SUMMARY OF POPULATION TO BE SERVED: This program will serve two major segments of the population. The first will be senior citizens and the other will be low income parents. At the present time, Eagle County has an estimated population of 1000 senior citizens. Of those 60 are receiving Old Age Pension from the Department of Social Services. A majority of the seniors in the community have incomes of less than $1,000 per month. The referrals to the program for low income parents will come from the Department of Social Services. At the present time, there are thirty two families receiving financial assistance from the department. However, this program will focus on young mothers with small children who are overwhelmed or need to be taught parenting skills. Most of these will come from the child protection case load. There are approximately eighty four protective service cases in Eagle Count:, The guidlines for the program, however, will be for families with incomes below the poverty line. One of the criterias for referrals to this program will be that the family meet the income guideline. Overall this program will serve 32_ families. We expect that the majority of these will be senior citizens to help them maintain a suitable living environment.
