BILL NUMBER:S4425
Title of bill
An act to amend the elder law, in relation to establishing small flexible funds accounts at the local level
Purpose
To provide designate agencies with funds that will enable the agencies to provide services and programs to the elderly.
Summary of provisions
Section one of the bill amends Elder Law section 203 by adding a new subdivision 11 to authorize the Director of the State Office for the Aging to establish a regrant program that will be available to designated agencies, as such term is defined in Elder Law section 214. The availability of funds for this program are subject to appropriation. Designated agencies may apply for funds to provide activities that are not otherwise funded through the State Office for the Aging, or for one-time events or short term needs. The designated agencies must apply for and be approved for the funds. The application for funding must include a Program Summary, Scope of Activity, Staffing and budget, Marketing/Outreach, Selection Process, and an Evaluation.
Section two of the bill provides that this bill shall take effect immediately.
Existing law
Currently, the State Office for the Aging is not authorized to engage in a program similar to the regrant program.
Justification
Greater flexibility in providing services is one of the top requests from designated agencies. The regrant program would provide designated agencies with funds to serve needs that are not currently served and to tailor the service to the community. This proposed program is similar to a program provided through the State Council on the Arts.
