RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Meals on Wheels Diablo Region in an amount not to exceed $138,137 to provide direct service provider training and care manager services to victims of financial elder abuse as part of the Contra Costa County Elder Abuse Prevention Project for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase budgeted expenditures by $138,137, which is funded 100% by Federal revenues through the California Office of Emergency Services County Victim Services (XC) Grant.

BACKGROUND:

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) awarded an extension to the previous two year County Victim Services (XC) Grant to fill victim services gaps and needs. The XC Grant extension was awarded to successful respondents from California counties and the City of Los Angeles, including Contra Costa County. Cal OES approved the XC Grant extension on June 21, 2018.

This contract is for provision of care manager outreach services as well as elder abuse prevention training as part of the Contra Costa County (County) Elder Abuse Prevention Program (EAPP). In partnership with County's Adult Protective Service (APS), this contractor will participate in a multidisciplinary team to increase communication with all partners of EAPP.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, increased training on elder abuse prevention and care management will be significantly hampered, delaying services and assistance to victims of financial elder abuse.
