BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County Health & Human Services - Social Services staff has 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 August 2025; this is the first 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 HHS-Social Services Division, Guilford County Transportation and Senior Resources of Guilford. PTRC estimates that 8,037 seniors will benefit from these block grant-funded services, a decrease of five (5) individuals from the initial funding plan.
Total updated Block Grant Funding for FY 2025-26 is $3,176,927 plus $131,143 in Department of Agriculture NSIP funding for a combined total of $3,308,070, an increase of $4,808 from the initial FY 2025-26 funding amount. The entire increase is in the NSIP funding amount and will be used for congregate nutrition and meal deliveries. The required local match is now $352,993, an increase of $1. The change in local match will be met with existing County funds. The revised plan also shifts some funding between services with about $47,000 from IN-Home Aide Services, Adult Day Health, and Housing & Home Improvement being used to increase funding for Group Respite and Home Delivered Meals by equivalent amount.
