c. 1. A description of the localities and populations for which projects of the type authorized by title V are most needed. (20 CFR 641.325 (d))
Current Narrative:
The Equitable Distribution Report (EDR) provides a basis for determining the collective progress made by SCSEP grantees toward equitable distribution of program positions in the State. It is also useful for determining where to locate new or vacant positions. The US DOL releases the annual EDR, which calculates the proportion of income and age-eligible population by parish. It is multiplied by the SCSEP funds for the state, which results in the number of authorized SCSEP positions per parish. These reports are essential in identifying where projects of this type are most needed based on their high unemployment rates. Shown below is the Labor Force by Parish in which indicates the rate of unemployment in Louisiana.
