DOA-?33 <br />(Rev. 1/97) <br /> <br /> Home and Community Care Block Grant for Older Adults <br /> <br /> County Funding Plan <br /> <br />Methodology to Address Service Needs of Low-Income Minority Elderly <br /> (Older Americans Act, Section 306(a)(5)(A)(ii) <br /> <br />Community service Provider Cabarms County Department of Social Services <br /> <br />County Cabarrus July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998 <br /> <br />GOAL: To increase participation in services and programs by low income minority <br />elderly persons at a minimum rate of the percentage of low income minority elderly in the <br />community. <br /> <br /> Cabarrus County Department of Social Services provides assistance to ail <br />individuals requesting services regardless of race, and most of our programs serve low <br />income individuals. The type or extent of services clients receive are based solely on <br />clients' need and availability of funding. <br /> <br /> Through the In-Home Aide Program, 42% of the clients served are in the minority <br />population. This exceeds the 13.8% minority population of Cabarrus County which is <br />reflected in the 1990 census statistics. <br /> <br /> Based on current need for services, we do not have sufficient funds to maintain <br />current clients. We continue to receive requests from clients that meet the need for In- <br />Home Aide Services. We will assess these requests if funding becomes available, so they <br />can be added to our program. <br /> <br /> We will continue to strive to serve the low income minority population. In our <br />CAP Program, we are presently serving 34% in this group. <br /> <br /> Outreach by the agency has been accomplished by newspaper articles, brochures, <br />home visits by social work staff, and contacts with other agencies. Information was <br />distributed at a Health Fair held in the Logan area in March, 1997. Since funding is <br />limited for these programs, we will not implement any new outreach programs; however, <br />we will continue with our current outreach efforts which have proven effective in the <br />past. <br /> <br /> As an agency that receives funding from several sources, we will assess each case <br />to be sure that funding is used to best meet the needs of the clients and that Older <br />Americans Act funds are targeted towards low income minority individuals. <br /> <br /> <br />
