Possible uses and use restrictions...
Organizations which receive project grants may use the funds to create and pay for part-time community service job positions for persons age 55 and above whose income is at or below 125 percent of the poverty level. The individuals who are employed may be placed in work assignments at local service agencies (e.g., schools, hospitals, day care centers, park systems, etc.), or may be given work assignments in connection with community service projects. A portion of project funds may be used to provide participants with training, counseling, and other supportive services. No more than 13.5 percent of the Federal share of the project costs may be spent for administration. (If justified, a waiver to 15 percent may be provided by the Department of Labor.) Participants may not be employed in projects involving political activities, sectarian activities, nor may participants displace any employed worker or perform work which impairs existing contracts for service.
