This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) document issued by the County of Los Angeles Aging & Disabilities Department for Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) services. The RFP seeks qualified organizations to provide SCSEP services throughout Los Angeles County, excluding the City of Los Angeles. The program targets low-income adults aged fifty-five and older who face employment barriers by offering hands-on job training through part-time, subsidized work placements at community service agencies and government entities. Services include participant skill-building support, transitioning assistance to unsubsidized employment, and access to support services designed to promote long-term job success and economic stability. The RFP document establishes the framework for proposers to demonstrate their capacity to deliver these comprehensive employment services to eligible seniors across the County's service area.

The document outlines the specific requirements, evaluation criteria, and operational expectations for SCSEP service delivery. Proposals must address the program's core components including participant recruitment and enrollment, work-site development and management, training provision, job development and placement services, and supportive services coordination. The RFP specifies performance metrics, compliance requirements with federal SCSEP regulations, and expectations for participant outcomes including employment placement rates and wage progression. Funding for the program derives from federal sources through the U.S. Department of Labor, with the County administering funds to selected service providers. Organizations responding to this RFP must demonstrate experience in senior employment services, understanding of low-income populations facing employment barriers, ability to establish and manage community partnerships, and capacity to meet federal reporting and performance accountability requirements.
