BACKGROUND:

 

Fiscal year 2005-06 is the first year of a four-year planning cycle for Older Americans Act (OAA) and Community-Based Services Programs (CBSP) funding. On November 8, 2004, the Commission on Aging approved issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for provision of services to older adults and adults with disabilities. AAS issued the competitive RFP during the third quarter of 2004-05 for a four-year cycle effective July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2009. Services through the RFP are funded with a combination of federal, state and county dollars, along with contributions from providers, the individuals served, the community, and other grants. Federal and state funding is provided through agreements with the California Department of Aging (CDA) for Title III/VII, Title V, CBSP and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) funds.

 
   

DISCUSSION:

 

Services to be provided through these agreements include Adult Day Care/Adult Day Health Care, Alzheimer’s Program, Case Management, Brown Bag Program, Congregate Nutrition, Disease Prevention/Health Promotion, Family Caregiver Support Program Services, Home-Delivered Meals, Legal Assistance, Ombudsman Services, Senior Employment, and Transportation. All service providers were selected through the aforementioned approved RFP process, which was open to any interested providers and reviewed by an evaluation team approved by the Commission on Aging (CoA). These agreements provide for the first year of services under this RFP.

 
   

County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreements as to form. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the Contractors’ insurance coverage.

 
   

FISCAL IMPACT:

 

The term of these agreements is July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. The total combined state, federal and county amount for these agreements is $2,569,922. Of this amount, 88.8% or $2,281,028 is provided through state and federal funding (Title III/VII, Title V, CBSP, and NSIP). Funding from the County Meals on Wheels Trust Fund, specifically for the Supplemental Meals on Wheels program, is 4.6% or $118,602. The remaining $170,292 or 6.6% of the total expense in these agreements represents the Net County Cost. The federal, state, and county funding is included in the 2005-06 AAS budget. Other funding sources in support of these services include provider contributions (match and non-match) in the amount of $6,297,937 and anticipated client contributions in the amount of $1,308,029. The combined total funding from all sources for FY 2005-06 is $10,175,888.
