JORNLIN, DIRECTOR Social Service Department Costa DATE: February 19, 1985 County SUBJECT: RSVP EXPANDED GRANT .APPLICATION - FFY 1984-85 SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION Approve expanded grant application to Action Region IX for 12th year Federal funding of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) in the amount of $2,220.60 for the period October 1, 1984 to September 30, 1985 and authorize the Director of Social Service to sign and submit said application and sign approval documents when received. BACKGROUND On August 28, 1984, the Board approved the RSVP grant application for FFY 1984-85 and authorized the Director of Social Service to sign and submit the application to Action Region IX. The overall budget of $132,457 funded staff and mileage reimbursement for volunteers age 60 and over who provide community services. A January 21, 1985 letter from Action Region IX announced an increase in the FFY 1984-85 appropriation for RSVP, and solicited applications for the expanded grant funds. The material attached includes Region IX's letter and instructions and Contra Costa County's RSVP expanded grant application. Funds received will be used to provide six (6) part-time Volunteer Shoppers to serve frail , homebound, or recently hospitalized elders in order to avoid premature institutionalization. Note: The expanded grant application shows proposed funding of $951.40 from local funds. This does not represent an additional County expense because the initial 1984-85 RSVP budget included a County overmatch well in excess of the $951.40. HDR/dc Attachs.
