The Public Services Committee, by Henry W. Hoot, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution. PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE PURCHASE OF SERVICE FROM DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL 'SERVICE HOMEMAKER The Cooperative Extension Service would like to secure per- mission to apply for available Title XX funds from Oakland County Department of Social Service. The funds will be used to expand our present program by hiring one full time and one half time pare professional Homemaker. Homemakers will receive family referrals from Protective Service Social Workers. Homemakers will work cooperatively with the families Social Worker. The service will be available for all of Oakland County. This is not a grant, it is a direct purchase of service agreement with Department of Social Services. No cash will need to be appropriated from county funds. By September 30, 1977, present Title XX funds are to be used. There has been verbal assurance that successful programs will be re-funded to September 30, 1978. For the last eight years the Cooperative Extension Service has successfully worked with trained pare professionals who work in the home with families. The Family Living Education staff are highly skilled in all the areas of home and money management, child and family living, food and nutrition, home maintenance, and personal care. Homemakers will provide in-home training, education and encouragement to Protective Service families in all the above mentioned necessary skills. The Homemaker will assist families -page two- in their own home to overcome specific barriers to maintain, strengthen and safeguard their functioning in the home. The Homemaker will provide a concentrated, positive intervention to remedy neglect and abuse while preserving the nuclear family. The Expanded Nutrition Program of the Cooperative Exten- sion Service is the only program in the county that is similar. The Federal guidelines require this program to emphasize nutri- tional education for low income families. The Homemaker pro- gram will also emphasize the well being of the child in the family situation. It Is an educational program, not a chore service program. The program will be an in-the-home informal education and encouragement program for families with members under the age of 18. Thirty Oakland County clients/families will be reached in the three months. The visits will be 2 hours with approx- imately 12 visits per family.

The funds are available for a volunteer Parent Aide Program. Volunteer Aides will receive referrals from Protective Service Social Workers and work directly with the Social Worker and the client families. The program will be available for all of Oakland County. This is not a grant. It is a direct purchase of service agreement with Department of Social Services. No cash will need to be appropriated from county funds. By September 30, 1977, present Title XX funds are to be used. There has been verbal assurance that successful programs will be re-funded to September 30, 1978. This is not a new program for the Oakland County Cooperative Extension Service. For more than fifty years the Extension Service has successfully trained and assisted volunteers in the areas of Family Living Education. Funds will be used to hire one half-time clerk who will make arrangements for Parent Aide interviews, maintain volunteer library, type training material and reports, and perform other clerical duties. Funds would also be used to hire a Volunteer Coordinator to recruit, train, and supervise Parent Aides. The Program will be consistent with the Model Design and Training Manual for a Parent Aide Program compiled for Michigan -page two- State Department of Social Services. The attention of the Parent Aide will be on the parent who is having difficulty with his/her parent role. The aide will be a stable adult model for the parent. The aide will provide in- tervention to remedy neglect and abuse while helping to preserve the nuclear family. The aides primary role will be to serve as mature and reli- able friends who listen non-critically and non-judgmatically. A one year commitment will be expected from a volunteer Parent Aide and they will work with no more than two families each. The Parent Aide will make home visits and will be available by phone on a 24-hour basis so the family can reach them at any time. A minimum of four hours personal contact weekly will be expected of each Par- ent Aide with their assigned families. Parent Aides will provide encouragement and informal education in necessary skills in home and money management; child and family living; food and nutrition; home maintenance and personal care. Family Focus, the only organization in Oakland County with volunteer aides that work individually with "high risk families," support having this program as part of the Cooperative Extension Service. Both Family Focus and an Oakland County Department of Social Service Volunteer Coordinator have stated they will help recruit volunteers and be an active support. Plans are to implement the Parent Aide Program using 9 volunteers by September 30th. The next year at least 25 volunteers will be used, the following year, the potential will be for 100-200. '-r-page tftree- Parent Aides will spend a minimum of 4 hours weekly with the family. That is 208 hours yearly per volunteer. Having 100 volunteers that will amount to 20,800 volunteer hours. If the county had to pay for volunteer services, it would cost at least $5.00 per hour. The annual cost would be $104,000. This cost does not reflect the fact that the Parent Aide is on 24 hour call. The prediction is that the Oakland County Department of Social Services, through Title XX, will have $32,000 available to recruit, train and supervise Volunteer Aides. By using volunteers for every $1.00 invested, there will be a return of over $3.00. However, most importantly, families in need will be receiving concentrated personal attention for at feast a year.
