BACKGROUND
Background
The FY 2024-25 adopted budget included anticipated Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) funding 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. These funds are administered by the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) under agreement with Guilford County. PTRC has now provided the County with an initial HCCBG funding plan for FY 2024-25 as well as a new annual agreement for grant administration. This plan establishes how grant funding will be used including which service providers and lines of service will be funded and the amounts of grant and local match funding, as well as the estimated number of units of service (such as meals, rides, etc) and individual clients served by each service.
The service providers under this agreement are 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. It is estimated that 8,810 seniors will benefit from these block grant-funded services.
Total block grant funding for FY 2024-25 is $3,242,693 plus $132,113 in Department of Agriculture Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) funding. The required local match is $360,299 which will be met through in-kind services and existing county funding. This match includes the use of county funds to cover the required local match for Well-Spring Solutions and Senior Resources of Guilford.
