BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County Health & Human Services - Social Services staff has received a revised HCCBG funding plan from the Piedmont Triad Regional Council, who administers the funding plan under agreement with the County. This funding is used for aging adult in-home aide, transportation, and other services for seniors such as adult day care, group enrichment, community nutrition and home delivered meals, senior center operations, and housing assistance. The original funding plan was initially received and approved by the Board of Commissioners in September 2023 and revised in March 2024. This is the second revision to the plan for this fiscal year.
The service providers under this agreement continue to be the Adult Center for Enrichment, Inc. d/b/a Well-Spring Solutions, PTRC Community Development, Guilford County DHHS-Social Services Division, Guilford County Transportation and Senior Resources of Guilford. PTRC estimates that 8,239 seniors will benefit from these block grant-funded services, no change from the previous revision.
Total updated Block Grant Funding for FY 2023-24 is $3,202,127 plus $129,235 in Department of Agriculture Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) funding for a combined total of $3,331,362, an increase of $794 from the previous revision. The entire increase is in the NSIP funding amount and will be used for congregate nutrition and meal deliveries. The required local match remains unchanged at $355,793. The revised plan reallocates $52,045 in funding from Congregate Nutrition to Home Delivered Meals, based on projected spending trends, and also adds the additional $794 in NSIP funding to Home Delivered Meals. Despite these shifts in existing funds and the small increase in NSIP funding, each individual program is still estimated to serve the same number of clients with 184 served by the Congregate Nutrition program and 421 served by the Home Delivered Meals program.
