DATE: November 2, 1984 @ OUNY
SUBJECT: July 17, 1984 Letter from Greater Richmond Committee on Aging
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept comments from County Administrator in response to July 17, 1984 letter from
Greater Richmond Committee on Aging requesting funding for its "Handyman Project".
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors on August 14, 1984, on the recommendation of Supervisor
Powers, referred to the County Administrator a July 17, 1984 letter from the
Greater Richmond Committee on Aging (GRCOA) , 131 Harbour Way, Richmond, CA 94802,
requesting funding for its "Handyman Project".
This project's purpose is to improve the quality of life for senior citizens in
the Richmond area by providing services, such as painting, yard work, and minor home
repairs through hiring other seniors with appropriate skills. The project was
initiated during the period of the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training
Administration programs. Subsequently, it was funded by the City of Richmond,
Chevron, and with other donations. Funding ended on February 24, 1984 and the
program is no longer operating. Attempts to fund this program through the Area
Agency on Aging have been unsuccessful .
Through meetings with Mrs. Bonner, President, GRCOA, Mrs. Holly, Executive Director,
GRCOA, and Carl Cole, Director, Office on Aging, it has been determined that a
request for funding this program for the remainder of this fiscal year will be
referred to the Area Agency on Aging Planning Committee for their consideration in
the event additional funds, for which this program might qualify, become available.
The GRCOA intends to submit a funding proposal to the Agency for its consideration
during the Planning Allocation Process, at which time program funding recommendations
are formulated for fiscal year 1985-1986.
