BACKGROUND:
|
The New Beginning Coalition’s Strategic Plan for Services for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities for 2005-09 (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 Strategic Plan serves as a countywide blueprint for all services regarding older adults and adults with disabilities, including the Area Agency on Aging Plan (Area Plan), which is required by CDA to receive Older Americans Act (OAA) and Community-Based Services Program (CBSP) funding. On July 12, 2005, by Resolution number 67443, your Board officially adopted the Strategic Plan for 2005-09.

|
DISCUSSION:
|
Each year San Mateo County submits a Year-End Report on the status of the objectives identified in its Area Plan/Area Plan Update, as required for final approval of OAA and CBSP funding to provide senior services. 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. 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.
|
|
|
A major accomplishment in FY 2006-07 which is reflected in the Year-End Report is the Health Department’s success in establishing the Aging: 2020 Steering Committee, which includes representatives from the Health Department, San Mateo Medical Center, Department of Housing, and SamTrans, and completing the Service Needs of the Aging Population: 2020-2030 Study. The results of this study, which identify the number and demographic characteristics of our future senior population and the projected need for health, transportation, and housing services, will be presented to your Board by the Health Department on October 30, 2007.
