RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with West Contra Costa County Meals on Wheels in an amount not to exceed $357,934 for Older Americans Act Title IIIC-2 Senior Nutrition Home Delivered Meals Program for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded with 35% State and 65% Federal Revenues, all of which is budgeted in FY 2023-24. (CFDA #93.045)

BACKGROUND:

The Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III-C Senior Nutrition Program plays an important role in the health of older adults that participate in the program. Specifically, the purposes of the Senior Nutrition Program are to (1) reduce hunger and food insecurity; (2) promote socialization of older individuals; and (3) promote the health and well-being of older individuals by helping them access services that encourage proper nutrition, prevent disease, and promote health. The program provides meals, nutrition education, nutrition-risk screening, and nutrition counseling to older adults.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

West Contra Costa County Meals on Wheels (MOWWCCC) supports homebound elders to maintain their health and dignity, and to live independently in the comfort and security of their own homes. They also serve homebound senior citizens who have one or more chronic health conditions that prevent their preparing nutritious daily meals for themselves.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

West Contra Costa County Meals on Wheels would be unable to effectively serve members of their Senior Nutrition program.
