- Summary:
-
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)--now Title V of the Older Americans Act--evolved from Operation Mainstream, a pilot project established under Title II of the Economic Opportunity Act. Operation Mainstream, which was first funded in 1965, provided jobs for chronically unemployed, poor adults in a wide range of activities to improve the social and physical environment primarily in rural areas. Older adults were one of the target groups to be served by Operation Mainstream. Operation Mainstream's older worker component was converted from a pilot project into a national, ongoing program when the 1973 Older Americans Comprehensive Services Amendments became law. It was officially designated as the Older Americans Community Service Employment Act (Title IX of the 1973 Older Americans Comprehensive Services Amendments). Throughout its history, the SCSEP has served some of the most disadvantaged persons in society, particularly those with poverty incomes, limited education, and minority status. Numerous evaluations of SCSEP and its predecessor--the Mainstream Older Workers pilot project--have shown them to be very effective programs that should be retained and strengthened. (Author/KC)
