BACKGROUND:
|
Fiscal Year 2009-10 is the first year of a four-year planning cycle for Older Americans Act (OAA), Community-Based Services Program (CBSP), and Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) funding. In September 2008, the Commission on Aging (CoA) approved issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for provision of services to older adults and adults with disabilities. Aging and Adult Services (AAS) issued a competitive RFP in December 2008, for a four-year cycle effective July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2013. AAS has selected to contract with 25 of the 26 providers that submitted proposals for services
through the first year of this RFP. All 25 Agreements 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 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Title III/VII, Title V, CBSP, HICAP, and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP).

|
DISCUSSION:
|
Services to be provided through these Agreements include Adult Day Care/Adult Day Health Care, Alzheimer’s Program, Brown Bag Program, Case Management, Congregate Nutrition, Caregiver Support, HICAP, Health Promotion/Disease Prevention, Home-Delivered Meals, Legal Assistance, Ombudsman Services, Senior Employment, and Transportation. All service providers were selected through an approved RFP process, which was open to any interested providers and reviewed by an evaluation team approved by the CoA. These nutrition, supportive, and employment services, which serve approximately 15,000 seniors annually, are designed to carry out many of the goals and objectives identified in the New Beginning Coalition Strategic Plan and help at-risk individuals remain in the most independent setting possible.

|
|
Risk Management has reviewed and approved these Agreements. County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreements as to form. The City of San Bruno has requested a change to the County’s standard Non-Discrimination Enforcement Language. A waiver request for this language has been approved by the County Manager. The delay in processing these Agreements is due to the timing of receiving the OAA, CBSP and HICAP FY 2009-10 allocation from CDA. These Agreements are currently on the Continuing Resolution.
|
|
|
OAA, CBSP and HICAP funds contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by allowing AAS to contract with community partners to provide a variety of much needed services to this targeted population. It is anticipated that 95% of at-risk individuals will be maintained in a least restrictive setting through case management.
