RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to accept a grant in the amount of $411,724 from California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, County Victim Services Program for the Elder Abuse Prevention Project for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $411,724 from the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, County Victim Services Program, which is entirely Federal funds. There is a 25%, $102,931, required cash County match.

BACKGROUND:

The goal of the Elder Abuse Prevention Project is to bridge the gap in services addressing elder abuse by providing direct services to elders. The project focuses where direct service is most required: financial abuse, case management, and counseling services. The project is supported through the Victims of Crime Act.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, services to the older population for elder abuse prevention project services cannot be maintained or expended.
