In 1964 Community Action Programs were included in the Economic Opportunity Act under President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty. Over 1,000 Community Action Agencies have been founded since then.

Incorporated in 1965, Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation (JFCAC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to assisting low-income individuals, and families, achieve self-sufficiency through quality programs in Jefferson and Franklin Counties. We are a federal, state, and locally funded Community Action Agency.

Speaking of making improvements to clients' homes....we're looking for a Licensed Occupational Therapist to complete home assessments for our Older Adults Modification Program!

About the program: JFCAC has been awarded grant funding for the Older Adults Home Modification Program (OAHMP) by HUD. The OAHMP is a federally funded home upgrade program that is designed to help low-income seniors stay out of assisted living facilities by making home modifications which will make it easier for seniors to stay in their homes, maintain their independence and perform daily tasks.

The purpose of the evaluation is to catalog information and develop a scope of work for each client. The evaluation will be followed by licensed contractors completing the home modifications based on recommendations determined by the OT and/or CAPS.

Home modifications could include:

  • widening doorways
  • eliminating trip hazards
  • installing grab bars
  • upgraded lighting
  • adding ramps
  • other safety updates

Following the installation of recommended items a one-month follow-up evaluation will be made to ensure success of the initial set of recommendations made.

Our Goal: To assess and remedy 200 individual households for Aging-In-Place services over a 36-month period.

About the position: JFCAC is seeking a Licensed Occupational Therapist to join our team in OAHMP as a contracted worker to complete the following duties utilizing the Home for Life design software:

  • aging-in-place assessments
  • follow-up assessments
  • possible oversite of our in-house CAPS.
    • evaluate data gathered by the CAPS
    • approve or reject plans developed by the CAPS

Options for a one/other or hybrid contract are available.

Educational Requirements: Must be a licensed Occupational Therapist in the State of Missouri
