Discussion:
The Sonoma County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is responsible for planning, developing policy, and advocating for the needs of older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers throughout Sonoma County. The California Department of Aging (CDA) is authorized to distribute federal funds of the Older Americans Act to local AAA’s to fund services to assist older adults and adults with disabilities to remain safely in their own homes for as long as possible.
The AAA allocates Older Americans Act funds to local non-profit agencies to provide services for older adults, adults with disabilities and their caregivers throughout Sonoma County, including nutrition programs (congregate lunch programs and home-delivered meals); supportive services programs (adult day care, case management, legal services, and transportation); health promotion; family caregiver services (respite, assessment, and caregiver support groups); and Ombudsman and elder abuse prevention. These services help to ensure that older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers are safe, healthy, and well cared for throughout our community.
The AAA released a competitive Request for Proposals for older adult and caregiver support programs for a 4-year term for fiscal years 2024-2025 through 2027-2028. All successful proposers are in the process of entering into contracts beginning July 1, 2024 and will be renewed annually through June 30, 2028. The contracts with service providers went to the Board on June 4, 2024 in the Human Services Department Contracts for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Board item.
