Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the Department of Social Services request to recognize additional Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) Funds subsequent to adoption of the FY2017-2018 Budget. The Department (DSS) and the Durham Center for Senior Life (DCSL) are co-lead agencies for receiving the HCCBG funds and administering the programs. The goal of services provided under this grant is to enable recipients to stay at home longer; receiving the care and services they need in their own homes, thus reducing the necessity for out of home placement. Services provided are Adult Day Care Services, Congregate Meals, Senior Center Operations, Information and Case Assistance, Transportation, Home Delivered Meals and In-Home Aide Services.
Durham County’s initial allocation was $1,362,307 and the revised allocation is $1,450,168 which is an increase of $87,861. These funds are divided between DCSL and DSS. DCSL will receive $40,202 and Social Services will receive $47,659 which includes a 10% County contribution of $4,719 which will be funded by fund balance appropriation.
