SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
California Department of Aging issued an additional $24 million amongst 33 Public Service Agencies(PSA) of which Monterey County Area Agency on Aging(AAA) received $447,016 for Fiscal Year 2018-19 in Federal and State funds. The bulk of the dollars were in Supportive Services, Senior Nutrition Congregate and Home Delivered Meal Services, Ombudsman for Long-Term, the Family Caregiver Program, and the Elder Abuse Prevention funds. This funding is a combination of baseline and one-time only funding that will make a difference in the quality of life for seniors, particularly the ones with the greatest social and economic needs.
Additionally, the Department is recommending a technical correction to the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget of $177,500 to accurately separate programs addressing homelessness from the Social Services Budget.
The Department is recommending both actions to update the appropriations and estimated revenues for the current FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrator’s Office - Budget Office concurs with these actions.
FINANCING:
The increase in appropriations and estimated revenues of $447,016 for the AAA Budget Unit 001-5010-SOC010-8268 will be funded by Federal/State Older American Act Funds in the FY 2018-19 Adopted Budget. The technical correction of $177,500 is to appropriately place the homeless appropriations (General Fund Contributions) in the Community Programs Budget 001-5010-SOC004-8258.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This proposed action correlates to the Administration and Health and Human Services Strategic Initiatives adopted by the Board of Supervisors by allowing the Department to accept additional funding from the State to expand existing programs provided by the Area Agency on Aging and to better track expenses for programs addressing homelessness.
