SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Department received Amendment #3 to the State of California Department of Aging (CDA) agreement with County of Monterey for $1,478,429. In the FY 2021-22, the Department is requesting an increase in appropriations and estimated revenues for Monterey County Department of Social Services Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in the amount of $108,585 for existing programs (Fall Prevention and Title III and Title VII programs).
CDA issued out emergency funding for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in the amount of $1,390,844 for The Fall Prevention Grant, which provides services for eligible individuals who are at risk of falling or being institutionalized by providing assessments, consultations, and referrals. The Department will only use $21,000 in the FY 2021-22, with the remaining balance of $1,369,844 will be incorporated into future budget years, with a term ending September 2024.
Additionally, CDA increased the current year funding allocations on existing programs in the amount of $ 87,585 for Title III/VII programs to the a) Ombudsman program; b) nutrition programs; c) health promotion services; d) legal services to seniors and caregivers; e) design, print and publish the senior Resource Guide; f) and provide community education and outreach information about services available in the community.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrator’s Office - Budget Office reviewed the recommended actions. This item received support from the Budget Committee on May 25, 2022.
FINANCING:
The Area Agency on Aging has received additional funding in the amount of $1,478,429 from CDA, of which $87,585 is one-time Title III/VII funds to be expended by June 2022 and $1,390,844 is emergency ARPA funds to be expended by September 2024.
The Department is requesting appropriations and estimated revenues of $87,585 of Title III/VII funds and $21,000 of the ARPA funds in Social Services-Area Agency on Aging’s 001-5010-SOC010-8268 FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget.
