BACKGROUND:
In June, 1999 Jewish and Family Children's Services of the East Bay in collaboration with the Lao Senior
Association and Catholic Charities of the East Bay applied for a federal Discretionary Grant to provide
bilingual/bicultural services for refugees over 60 years of age who reside in Contra Costa County. Their
proposal was selected through a competitive review process at the federal level and was assigned to the County
for contract administration and oversight.
The Program has been in operation since October 1999 providing a variety of services for approximately 100
senior refugees who are Laotian, Vietnamese, Russian and/or Afghan. The program has achieved 100% of the
first and second year goals. Due to the outstanding program performance, a third year of funding has been
awarded.
The Employment and Human Services Department may claim up to 5% of the FY 2001/2002 Discretionary
Grant to cover administration costs.
