BACKGROUND:
|
The New Beginning Coalition’s Strategic Plan for Services for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities for 2000-2005 (Strategic Plan) is the long-range plan for the continuum of services to meet the needs of San Mateo County’s older adults and adults with disabilities. The Plan serves as a countywide umbrella for all plans regarding older adults and adults with disabilities in the county, including the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Plan required by the California Department of Aging (CDA) to receive Older Americans Act (OAA) and Community-Based Services Program (CBSP) funding. Your Board officially adopted the Strategic Plan for 2000-2005 on August 21, 2001.

DISCUSSION:
|
Each year, San Mateo County is required to submit a Year-End Report on the status of the objectives identified in its Area Plan/Area Plan Update. The Workplan portion of the Strategic Plan serves as the County’s Year-End Report. Its inclusive format enables Aging and Adult Services to provide a comprehensive picture of the services provided, as well as program development, advocacy and coordination efforts undertaken by San Mateo County’s coordinated network of services and supports for older adults and adults with disabilities for each of the previous years included in the Strategic Plan. This section also includes the workplans submitted by the Commission on Aging and Commission on Disabilities. The Commission on Aging has approved the submission of the Year-End Report to CDA. A transmittal letter signed by the President of the Board of Supervisors is required to complete the processing.
