BACKGROUND
Background
The FY 2018-19 adopted budget included an estimate of 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. The service providers under this agreement are the Adult Center for Enrichment, Inc. d/b/a Well-Spring Solutions, Emmanuel Senior Enrichment Centers, Community Housing Solutions, Guilford County Social Services, Guilford County Transportation and Senior Resources of Guilford. The HCCBG funding was updated in August 2018 to reflect the actual funding plan received that month, and an additional update has been received by the county in October 2018.
Total updated Block Grant Funding for FY 2018-19 is $2,614,917, an increase of $242,462 from the original plan approved in August. The required local match of $290,546, an increase of $22,906 from the plan approved in August, will be provided 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, Emmanuel Senior Enrichment Centers, and Community Housing Solutions as requested by Well-Spring Solutions. It is estimated that 10,679 seniors will be benefit from these block grant-funded services.
