Information

Referral History:

On May 23, 2000, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Family and Human Services Committee an annual report on the progress made on the issue of elder abuse in Contra Costa County. Between 2000 and 2015, Committee has received an annual status report from the Employment and Human Services Department.

On December 14, 2015, the Family and Human Services Committee received a report from the Employment and Human Services Department on this referral. At the time of the report, the new Aging and Adult Services Director was a recent hire, having only been with the department a couple of months. Since the new director had identified various strategies to address some pending issues, such as staffing and crisis response times, and program changes were in transition, the Family and Human Services Committee agreed to postpone the annual report until such time as the department would be prepared to discuss a timeline addressing the program and operational challenges discussed. An update was provided to the Family and Human Services Committee on February 7, 2017. The most recent status update was provided to the Family and Human Services Committee on August 24, 2020.
