Cabarrus County Partnership for Children oversees and administers federal and state child care grants, including the Smart Start child care subsidy. Their mission is to promote access to affordable and quality child care services for children ages 0 -5 and to promote early childhood education and development. DHS and the Partnership are close partners in the provision of child care subsidy services and are working on several projects to consolidate services and access. The Partnership is in need of new office space and DHS has available space with an independent entrance that would allow the Partnership to co- locate within DHS while improving access for citizens seeking child care services. DHS is requesting the Board of Commissioners consider allowing the Partnership to use this space and that an agreement for utilization of the space be drafted by the County Manager and County Attorney. UPON MOTION of Vice Chairman Poole, seconded by Commissioner Shue and unanimously carried, the Board approved the utilization of available space within the Cabarrus County Department of Human Services Center by the Cabarrus County Partnership for Children and authorized the County Manager and County Attorney to draft a utilization agreement for that purpose. (F -4) DHS - Senior Community Services Employment (Title V) Program n; roc + -Tnc +- The Department of Human Services (DHS) is recommending divesting itself of the Senior Community Services Employment Program and the associated (Title V) grant. CCOC Centralina Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is planning to apply for the grant on behalf of counties within Region F, including Cabarrus County. if received, the Agency would administer the program for Cabarrus County. The Title V program assists persons ages 55 and older in gaining employment training and work experience through subsidized employment and training. However, due to a drastic reduction in slots over the past few years, DHS recommends supporting the AAA and/or other eligible agencies in their application for Title V funding. The services will still be available to county residents through these agencies if funding is secured_ Citizens currently participating in the program and placed within County departments in Title V slots will still be maintained, and a small host match can be considered at that time to subsidize those salaries. The transfer of these services from DHS would allow the Department to focus the resources used for this program in the mandated services areas. UPON MOTION of Vice Chairman Poole, seconded by Commissioner Shue and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the recommendation of divestment from the Senior Community Services Employment Program and the associated Title V grant application to allow the Centralina Area Agency on Aging or other eligible agencies to make application on behalf of the County.
