BACKGROUND
Background
The FY 2024-25 adopted budget included 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. It is estimated that more than 11,000 seniors will benefit from these block grant-funded services. The service providers under this agreement are the Adult Center for Enrichment, Inc. d/b/a Well-Spring Solutions, Emmanuel Senior Enrichment Center, Community Housing Solutions, Guilford County Social Services, Guilford County Transportation, Piedmont Triad Regional Council, and Senior Resources of Guilford.
Due to differing service demand within the above listed areas, staff identified a need to shift funding within the service providers of the block grant based on actual and anticipated use. Funding will be shifted internally from Adult Day Care and In-Home Aide into Adult Day Health to aide with the influx in need. No budget amendments/revisions are needed as the total Federal/State funding did not change as all shifts made within existed allocation.
However, the shift will increase one contract with Emmanuel Senior Enrichment Center above the $200K threshold requiring Board of County Commissioner approval. Emmanuel's current contract amount is $196,045 and the updated amount will be $211,045 for total contract increase of $15,000. The funding for this increase will come from an equivalent decrease of the contract with Journey Homecare Services.
