Executive Summary:
The Human Services Department is requesting that the Board adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Human Services to execute the Multipurpose Senior Services Program Standard Agreement #MS-2627-11 with the California Department of Aging in the amount of $1,071,200 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and authorization to execute future agreement amendments to adjust for revenue changes. The California Department of Aging requires each grant to have a separate resolution adopted by the Board to receive the funds. The Multipurpose Senior Services Program provides home-based care management services to older adults at risk of nursing home or institutional placement.
Discussion:
The Human Services Department (HSD) receives funds from the California Department of Aging (CDA) to operate the Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) with the goal of preventing institutionalization and fostering independence and dignity for older adults.
MSSP provides case management services to Medi-Cal eligible older adults who are frail and at risk of placement in a skilled nursing facility due to significant functional support needs. MSSP has the capacity to serve approximately 200 individuals each month with care management services that are provided by a multidisciplinary team. The care management team coordinates medical and social services and arranges for additional long-term services and supports. The $1,071,200 provided through the MSSP Standard Agreement with CDA for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 (# MS-2526-11) helps fund 4.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Adult and Aging social workers, 1.5 FTE senior public health nurses, 1.0 FTE social work assistant, and 1.0 FTE Adult and Aging supervisor in MSSP.
