Program Overview
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), funded under Title V of the Older Americans Act, serves persons with low incomes who are 55 years old or over and have poor employment prospects. The program has two purposes: to provide useful community services and to foster individual economic self sufficiency through training and job placement in unsubsidized jobs. Services provided include:
- up to 20 hours a week of part-time employment in community service assignments
- job training and related educational opportunities
- opportunities for placement into unsubsidized jobs
Community service assignments include the following activities:
- social, health, welfare, and educational services (particularly literacy tutoring)
- personal assistance, including tax counseling and assistance and financial counseling
- library, recreational, and other similar services
- conservation, maintenance, or restoration of natural resources
- community betterment or beautification
- anti-pollution and environmental quality efforts
- weatherization activities
- economic development; and
- such other services essential and necessary to the community as the Secretary of the Department of Labor, by regulation, may prescribe.
