To approve the Home and Community Care Block Grant Funding Plan. <br /> BACKGROUND: The State Department of Human Resources established the Home and <br /> Community Care Block Grant which became effective July 1, 1992. The grant did not create new <br /> funding streams, but combined funds appropriated to the Department on Aging, Department of Social <br /> Services, and Joint Orange Chatham Community Action Agency to administer programs for senior <br /> citizens. <br /> On May 20, 1996, the Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee met and <br /> endorsed a recommended funding plan for fiscal year 1996-97. The block grant requires the Board of <br /> Commissioners to approve the recommended funding plan. The recommended funding plan for the <br /> 1996-97 fiscal year is the same amount received from the State for fiscal year 1995-96. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the 1996-97 <br /> Home and Community Care Block Grant Funding Plan as endorsed by the Home and Community <br /> Care Block Grant Advisory Committee, and authorize Chair to sign grant documents. <br />
