The seven community action agencies\nwho participated in the first initial program came from\nMendocino County, Lake County, Placer County, Madera\nCounty, San Luis Obispo County, Kern County, and Imperial\nCounty. These have been areas which have been, because\nof the staffing problem in the Farmers Home Administration\nprogram, considered priority areas to be served in the\nfirst phase.\nThe attached is a list of the names of the trainees\nand the Community Action Agencies who sponsored their par-\nticipation in this Intern Program. We feel this is the type\nof technical assistance which will lead to meaningful\nemployment for these trainees, not only in public service\ncareers, but also in the private sector. These seven\ntrainees are now involved in a meaningful program to help\ntheir community. I am sure that their continued efforts\nalong the lines the training has given them will lead to\nmeaningful employment as mentioned previously.\nThe SEOO will continue to give technical assistance\nand follow-up guidance to these trainees in cooperation\nwith the Farmers Home Administration and the State\nHousing and Community Development Agency, and the private\nsector whose main goal and objective is developing housing\nfor low-income rural people.\nAnother example of technical assistance rendered by\nSEOO to Community Action Agencies is the role that has\nbeen played in developing inter-agency sponsorship in\ncooperation and utilization of technical assistance from\nother state and federal agencies to develop programs such\nas the Self-Help Demonstration Project in Arvin, Kern\nCounty, California. This project is being co-sponsored\nby' the Farmers Home Administration, SEOO, and State\nDepartment of Housing and Community Development. (See\nExhibit D).\nSince December the SEOO has developed two meaningful\nResources Mobilization Conferences. The one in December\nwas built around rural CAAs and their specific problems.\nWe have just finished a state-wide Resources Mobilization\nConference in Sacramento which involved both rural and\nurban CAA and Board Chairman, plus many interested organ-\nizations and agencies to develop a meaningful way to\ndeliver technical assistance to these particular CAAs\non a more realistic problem-solving approach.\nMr. Ed Simon\nNorth-Coast Opportunities, Inc.\nP.

One document\nwhich came out of the National Office in order to help CAA's perform\nthis function was the Catalog of Federal Assistance Programs. CAA\npersonnel would frequently contact the agencies enumerated in this\ncatalog in order to attempt to solve a specific problem. They soon\ndiscovered that, while the legislation supporting or implementing certain\nprograms was on the books, no funds had been appropriated. This is\nentirely understandable in that the appropriations reflect the priorities\nof Congress for any particular federal fiscal year. Starting particularly\nwith this fiscal year, Congress has decided to place a great deal of\nemphasis on rural housing. It was then decided that the Farmers Home\nAdministration within the Department of Agriculture would be the instru-\nment that would be used to implement rural housing programs. Unfortu-\nnately, as with many other programs that are funded in this fashion,\nthe agency which is to implement the program does not have sufficient\npersonnel to carry out the intent of Congress. For example, the Farmers\nHome Administration does not have sufficient field supervisors to process\nrural housing loans in the volume expected by Congress. It is this\nsituation that SEOO/STAP has attempted to resolve by holding conferences\nin which paraprofessional people within Community Action Agencies would\nbe able to augment the paperwork done by Fm. HA's field supervisors. This\nhas been done with the enthusiastic backing of Farmers Home Administration.\nboth in the regional levels and federally. The federal Department of\nAgriculture has been extremely pleased with the outcome to date and is\nwatching with great expectations the result of the total conferences.\nReviewing the facts above and judging what is going on as a result\nof these conferences, we feel that there is a great opportunity for\nCommunity Action Agencies to augment the work of not only the Fin. HA but\nother federal agencies such as the Small Business Administration. The\nSBA has a similar problem in that they have received appropriations\nbeyond the capability of their staff ceiling. An internship program\nto train paraprofessionals within CAA's to augment the work of the SBA\nis another possibility. At this point in time, owing to the enthusiastic\nsupport of the Fm. HA, we have developed a pilot program to provide\nparaprofessional training for rural CAA's to augment Fm. HA's effort in\nrural housing.\nThis program appears to have all the ingredients of what we envision\na Community Action Agency should be.\n1. CAA's do not have rigid civil service requirements and therefore\ncan meet specific needs in a more rapid fashion than established\nbureaucracies.\n2. There is a possibility for the CAA to augment and make more\neffective national programs.\n3. The CAA would be performing a true ombudsman role.\n4. Last but not least, the result of such a program would be\nimmediate, specific and concrete. New homes for disadvantaged\npeople would be built in the rural areas. Such a program\nwould be extremely easy to evaluate.\n-2-\nCertainly in the rural areas, adequate housing for the poor is\na high priority need. At this conference we are asking you, the CAA's\nin the field, to participate in planning this Fm. HA intern program.\nWe do not think it will require any new federal funds for a change!\nMost of you have housing specialists on your staff, either full or\npart time. We are looking for suggestions on how to implement the\nprogram. Based upon your suggestions, State OEO, under the direction\nof our Housing STAP Specialist, Bob Frane, will coordinate the pro-\ngram. Initially we need 15 people who are in the housing field and\nwho will be intensively trained by Fm. HA in accordance with attached\ntraining schedule. The Fm. HA reserves the right to concur in the\nselection of the personnel. After the training period, these people\nwill be taking, screening and assisting in the processing of loans\nfor rural low-income houses. They will be working very closely with\nthe Field Supervisor of Fm. HA in order to fulfill some of the low-\nincome housing needs in your community.\nDecember 10, 19/0\nINTERN TRAINING PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT\nOF PARA-PROFESSIONALS IN RURAL HOUSING\nA. INTRODUCTION\n1. It is well known that there is a tremendous need for improved\nhousing in the rural areas of California. At least 50 per cent\nof the substandard housing is located in rural areas. Much of\nwhich is deplorable.\n2. The Farmers Home Administration's versatile housing program is\nunder several sections of the Housing Act of 1949. These authorities\nprovide an opportunity for making a considerable improvement in\nrural housing conditions.\n3. The Farmers Home Administration currently has ample loan funds\nfor the housing programs with good prospects of even increased funding.\n4. In California, Farmers Home Administration programs are administered\nthrough 19 field offices serving all of the counties. Only two of\nthese offices serve only one county. The other 17 offices serve\ntwo or more counties. The large geographical areas served by many\nof the offices has made it difficult for the more rural isolated\npeople and communities to be fully acquainted with the housing\nopportunities offered by FHA.\n5. The FHA has been under severe personnel ceilings with administrative\nincreases not being commensurate with the increases in program\nfunding levels. This has created a real problem for them to adequately\nserve the people in need of housing. There is on the horizon, however,\nthe possibility of additional ceiling, which will mean job oppor-\ntunities for qualified people with training in rural housing.\nB. GENERAL CONCEPT AND CONDITIONS\n1. Purpose and objectives\nThe purpose of this proposal is to train for para-professional\npositions with the ultimate objective of improving rural housing\nconditions in California. These para-professionals would be\nreaching rural people that are in need of improved housing, yet\nare generally not acquainted with the opportunities that exist.\nIn addition, this training will provide a general upgrading in\nthe skills and ability of the trainee.\n2. Sponsorship and Funding\nIt is intended that the sponsorship would be under some form of\nlocal government, such as a Community Action Agency. The source\nof funding would be through the Office of Economic Opportunity.\nPage 2\n3. Qualification and selection priority\nThe trainees would be local community residents located throughout\nthe rural areas of California. They would be strategicly located\nto obtain better geographical coverage of the FHA housing programs.\nIt is hoped that a substantial percentage of these trainees would\nbe of a minority race and be disadvantaged.\nWhile initial screening for the training positions vould be performed\nby the sponsoring agency, the FHA will have the final approval.\nIt is proposed that 15 training slots be allocated.\nThe person selected will need to have the ability to learn, plenty\nof common sense, patience, tolerance, and must have a high degree\nof skill in getting along with people. A sense of humor, enthusiasm,\nand cooperativeness are other important characteristics.\n4. Administration\nThe FHA will provide the training facilities and guidance for the\ntrainees. The trainees will be following FHA procedures and\nregulations pertaining to the activities they perform.\nThe sponsoring agency will be responsible for the trainee's salary,\ntravel expenses, and any per diem that might be involved. No\ncharge will be made by the Farmers Home Administration for the\ntraining provided.\nAn agreement will be required between the FHA and the sponsor\n(Employer) outlining the working arrangement and also absolving\nFHA of all liability on the part of the trainee.\nC. PROGRAM DETAIL\n1. Activity Description\nThe training will be for the purpose of the trainee becoming\nbriefly acquainted with all of the functions and programs of the\nFarmers Home Administration, but to specialize in the processing,\nand explaining to the public the housing programs, particularly\nthose relating to individual home ownership. This will include\na complete understanding of the objective of the rural housing\nprogram, eligibility requirements for loans, the agency's policies\nrelating to the housing programs, complete instructions, and\nexperience in the loan processing phases. Experience will also\nbe gained in servicing loans already made, such as counseling of\nborrowers on proper home maintenance, payment of debts, taxes,\ninsurance, etc.\nPage 3\n2. Training Guide\nThe initial phase of the training program would be conducted\nat the FHA State Office in Berkeley by appropriate members of the\nFHA State Staff. This would be for a maximum period of two weeks\nand will cover such things as the organizational structure of FHA,\na brief explanation of the various lending authorities, and complete\ndetails of the operation of Section 502 and 504 Housing programs.\nThis will include not only policy and eligibility requirements,\nbut how to screen applicants, how to interview applicants, various\nforms used in processing loans, how to complete these forms, how\nto analyze the soundness of a proposal, type of acceptable housing,\nsize, cost, etc.\nFollowing this basic training program, the trainees would be assigned\nto individual field offices. They would then be under the super-\nvision and jurisdiction of one of Farmers Home Administration's\ncounty supervisors. This training will first consist of observing\nwhat they learned during the first two weeks in actual ope ation.\nThey would then be given actual work assignments under the close\nsupervision of FHA county supervisors. As their training progresses,\nthe contact between the trainee and the county supervisor will\nbecome less and less.\nAGREEMENT\nFOR UTILIZATION OF EMPLOYEES\nOF THE\nCOMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY\nBY THE FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION\n1.
